Powdery mildew treatment on grapes ineffective

This is our second summer in this house with this established table grape vine. Last year, it was taken over by powdery mildew and all the grapes became mummified. This year, I started spraying them with sulfur (dusting sulfur added to water) according to the UC IPM guidelines in Spring. I also added a wire trellis so the vines could get more airflow and not hang on the ground.

These grapes looked fine within the last week and now they are almost all brown. ☹️ Some leaves looked infected and I have been pulling them off, but most look fine. Some of the vines had brown spots (which you can see some in the picture), but many of the vines looked healthy and green. The white spots you can see in this picture are from the residual sulfur. I’m not sure what I should have done differently.

Any recommendations on how to handle this next year? Could this be caused by something besides powdery mildew?

Dried out strawberries return next Spring?

I have searched for this answer, but only get info on overwintering, which is not exactly what I’m looking for

I planted 6 strawberry plants (zone 9 California). Four of them immediately turned brown and dried, 1 stayed for a little longer, and one is still going strong and produced a new flower. They are in a vertical planter that I would rotate for sun exposure and all got the same amount of water. I’m guessing heat (I planted them late in the season) or transplant shock?

I understand that strawberry plants will look dead over winter and will revive in the spring. My main question is if the ones that died very soon after planting have a chance of coming back in the spring (like overwintering) or if I should give up hope?

Finally, a happy catered event story!

Last week, I attended my husband’s work event that included a catered dinner and drinks. All I knew going in was that they didn’t ask for a meal choice, so we were guessing it would be a buffet. I ate something small on the drive over and planned to just have drinks while there.

When I asked the person in charge of food, she said it was all gluten free except for the pita bread! I asked to clarify about the sauces and she said they were all made from scratch without flour. Everything was so good and was so happy to be surprised that I could actually eat it!
