Hi Loulou, I haven't seen any evidence of grapes ripening here in the Touraine vineyards. When is your harvest down there, normally? Up here, it is toward Sept. 20.

The harvest will begin in early to mid September. The grapes start to turn in August and will all be dark purple rather quickly.

This is a fantastic picture.
It makes the wine world even more fun when we are working with something so pure and natural.

The vines are such a wonderful photography subject. I'm endlessly wandering around the vineyards taking photos.
I'm sure you have taken a wealth of photos yourself, but if you ever need some for your site, I have many!
