One of the trails we like to walk/hike runs through dense agricultural areas with many orchards and grape vines.

I like keeping track of how everything is ripening; right now the peaches are being harvested. The wine grapes will be much later, however, especially depending on whether they will be used for ice wine. If that’s the case, they will remain in the fields until they have been frozen. This will concentrate the resulting juice, producing a very sweet dessert wine.

I don’t know what kind of grapes these are as the rows aren’t labelled but they seem to be doing well.

Happy Saturday.
