I will refer my parents to your site as they just purchased a new home which has several (unknown) varietals looking like they should be harevested here in Portland, Oregon, USA. I went to the wine and beer shop around the corner from my home to get a refractometer and a book on their shelves said that it is VERY important the time of day and weather of the day they are harvested, but, sadly, said no more about it. I looked in several other books there and none of them mentioned anything about it. It appears I've found the Master though, I thought it worth asking! I've also read very many differing opinions about harvesting while skin it taut, beginning to wrinkle, after the first frost, etc. Is there a general correct response or is it all dependent on the variety...which we don't know? Thank you in andvance for any information you may have! I’m new to your site and have enjoyed looking around!
