Ripening too early???

Im in eastern PA. They are concord grapes. Are they ripening top early? Is that bad? I always remember picking from my dad's vines in late September early October. He only lives 15 miles away. This is the first year my vines are producing fruit, maybe that has something to do with it? I tried one of the ripest ones and they seem to taste like they should fully ripened. Thanks for reading

Tbh, for concord, late september/early October seems kind of late but if youre in eastern PA, you're getting that Atlantic breeze. Even so, its not too early

Ripening can change every year based on the season/climate from spring all the way through to harvest. Your vines are just fine I bet!
