Cluster Pictures

Here are the promised cluster pictures showing the lifecycle of a Marechal Foch cluster on the right and a Chardonnay cluster on the left.  The scale does change on the photos, I'll have to think about how to do it differently if I do this again so that you can really see the size change but this time just keep an eye on the ribbon, it is 1/8th of an inch wide.

The End! 

I hope you enjoyed the show, I certainly learned about grape development this summer having to go out every week really focus on two particular clusters.   Next week we'll be back in the winery.

    I loved this tour. Next, you need to do a grape webcam, so people can check on their own!
