Immature grapes on the vines out back, mid-July 2012.
Still, there are some grapes and they seem to be coming right along. It will be interesting to see, and taste, what next year's wines are like.

The state of the grapes
The chilly gray weather we're having this season is not playing nicely with the agriculture. Everyone is complaining that the fruit trees are not producing, that the vegetable gardens are struggling, and that the grape yield will be down at summer's end.
