This time of year in Sonoma County is often referred to as the “Crush.” Little Joe helped me squeeze my first batch of concord grape juice. He lasted a little over a minute and said his purple hand came clean. When I showed him mine…
…he said I just needed to use soap, his came right off. Hmmm, maybe he didn’t crush long enough cause mine’s not coming off.
Got an entire bucket of grapes off one vine, only from the bottom vines.
Wasn’t sweet enough to drink straight, gonna have to cut and sweeten it I think.
