Sad news in the vineyard

[deborahjross]

Some critters got into the vineyard, destroyed half the crop and damaged some of the vines. Undoubtedly, they were drawn by the smell of the almost-ripe fruit, which is already delicious to human taste. The vines will probably recover, with help, but I'm not sure what Dave will decide about wine making this year. He was really up for it.

If all else fails, we can harvest the grapes as is and make spectacular grape jam, but I don't think that will entirely replace the joy of making his own wine.

You can make wine out of almost anything plant-like. Grapes, berries, apples, rhubarb, garlic . . . whether you WANT to make wine out of some of those is another matter
