Kevin, ... some time, but this post compels me to respond. I'm a wine grape grower in Oregon's northern Willamette Valley. Perhaps you can explain for the me...

Rex, You are quite correct that such a response requires a highly subjective evaluation. But I did perform as a wine judge in competitions all over the U.S....
Bob, Certainly, one can eat wine grapes, as well as make wine out of table grapes. But wine grapes are generally smaller and full of seeds, what's more they're...
Kevin, ... make them less attractive as eating grapes. Thanks. Those don't sound like drawbacks to me personally though. I love seeded grapes. Seedless...
Hi everyone, I might have mentioned it before but I'm working on an article about Brix for the next "Wise Traditions" (the Weston A. Price quarterly journal)....

... You've lost me on this one, Rex. Sugar is exactly what a wine grape buyer is buying and why they started using refractometers to determine what the sugar...
Allan, If the event you're referring to was the one held in Leesburg, VA, then I was there too--very good conference. You recorded the entire event as I...
... Thanks, Kevin. York did say that pruning so that clusters are exposed increases the brix of the grapes and attributed this to some sugar producing (BRIX...
Allan, Well...I've known Alan York for several years. He's certainly a capable consultant (both biodynamic and viticultural). Perhaps he has some new knowledge...
HI, This group has been quiet, but I have some questions - ignore the fact that it's late in the season - in other words what could I have done back in August...
Woops! I forgot that I had turned my preferences to "no email" while I was gone. But my questions still stand, and I'm back on email. Kris ... fact that it's...

Kris, ... don't test very high. What foliar recipe would you suggest for increasing brix? Well, I know one thing about brassicas; they will brix higher after...
Thanks, Steve. Perhaps that's the problem, though I don't expect a hard freeze until into December here close to Lake Erie. Kris ... don't want to head out. I...

Rex, Thanks for your kind words. Yes, I do understand the "basic Brix premise," and I believe it. I'm happy to share any "arcane Brix secrets" I unearth. ...
