I'd estimate that Vinoland's Pinot grigio is about 90% through veraison. The fruit this year looks fabulous. As yet, my little feathered friends don't seem particularly interested in the fruit, nevertheless, it is time to get out the bird-netting and install it on the vines. It's not a particularly pleasant job, but it is a necessary one. After months of tending to the vines I don't feel a particular need to share the grapes with the avian population, so tomorrow the nets go on. Clothes pegs at the ready!
