That was a tricky one. No wonder it took so long for people to guess the right varietal!

Looks like the beginnings of some tasty vino to me!

tricky!
i think we all saw purple grapes and guessed red wine. i got it after the clue. still no excuse, as i am sitting about 400 yards from an acre of pinot gris as i type this (in fairness, our grapes in oregon are still green).
tons of fun, thanks dr. v!

Northern hemisphere…August harvest…I’m thinking Champagne and either Pinot noir or Pinot Munier.

Gabe got it–eventually! Nice going.

Steve and Mark W also got it.

So it is Pinot Gris, harvested in California this week by Pax Mahle and co for Wind Gap wines. Here’s the link to his original photo

Thanks for playing! Happy harvesting, all.
