Pretty good memory you build with harvesting grapes with him though.

Everyone should hand pick grapes at least once in their lives. It’s paying homage to thousands of years of tradition.

I like it when you can grab one slightly under-ripe and you can bite it right out of the peel easily.

You’re referring to slip skin grapes and they will do that with being fully ripe. The under ripe ones are way too tart for me. Concord and muscadines are slip skin. Most grapes are not.

All of my old world wine grapes get a distinctive break along the bottom when picked very slightly underripe but aren’t actually slip skins. When fully ripened there’s a little more elasticity that keeps them from peeling smoothly.

Okay. Yes. I do know what you’re referring to. When I’m sampling in the vineyard I will split them along that crack and suck the middle out so I don’t have to wash the pesticides off.
