Deciding when to harvest

Andrew and Adam Lee of Siduri are discussing when to pick Rosella's Vineyard. Up to 3/4 inch of rain is forecast in the next week. The grapes are not as mature as everyone would like. But leaving them on the vine is risky because rain can foster Botrytis fungus which leads to bunch rot and crop loss.
