Edelweiss 8/4/06 15.0 0.81 3.22 18.5 156 Once again, big clusters of big berries.  Started to Edelweiss 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
  8/11/06 15.6 0.63 3.42 24.8 182 crack on rain after dry spell.  Skins thin and delicate,   10 11 12
  8/13/06 16.1 0.57 3.50 28.2 197 hornets able to cut skins themselves.  Too early, last year here.                          
MN1095 8/4/06 20.6 2.06 2.98 10.0 183 Quickly becoming a favorite female,  Well-formed clusters when MN1095 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
  8/11/06 21.5 1.76 3.07 12.2 203 well pollinated.  Fruit tart with high solids and fine, neutral aroma.    
  8/22/06 24.1 1.29 3.18 18.7 244 Will hang long and ripen fully in VA, but needs an early pollinator    
  8/31/06 24.6 1.29 3.24 19.1 258 nearby for good fruit set.                          
Vanessa 8/4/06 17.0 0.72 3.09 23.6 162 Vines tend toward low vigor but are getting stronger.  Red fruit is Vanessa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
  8/13/06 19.0 0.46 3.32 41.3 209 very sweet and crispy.  Delicious neutral fruitiness and low    
  8/18/06 18.0 0.36 3.45 50.0 214 acidity.  A good breeder for wild vines.                          
Aurore 8/4/06 16.6 0.99 3.18 16.8 168 Just like described in a million places.  Very pretty and early. Aurore 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
  8/11/06 15.3 0.93 3.18 16.5 155 Fruit is fairly tender with minor cracking on rain after drought.    
  8/13/06 16.5 0.78 3.26 21.2 175 Too early and low solids for my uses, but a decent vine.                          
Oberlin 595 8/4/06 18.4 2.19 2.99 8.4 164 Once again, one of my favorite reds.  Long, cylindrical clusters Oberlin 595 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
  8/11/06 20.1 1.70 3.05 11.8 187 ripen early-midseason and obtain high solids.  Acidity is high   11 12 13
  8/13/06 20.3 1.47 3.06 13.8 190 but is easily reduced with MLF.  Dark red wine has a nice     
  8/18/06 21.7 1.47 3.12 14.8 211 peppery aroma and is nicely accented by oak.  The vine is very    
  8/22/06 23.0 1.35 3.13 17.0 225 tough and handles disease and insects well.  Less abused by     
  8/24/06 22.6 1.26 3.17 17.9 227 birds than Baco Noir.    
  8/31/06 24.0 1.38 3.20 17.4 246                            
DeChaunac 8/4/06 16.0 1.59 2.88 10.1 133 A badly berated grape that deserves better.  Large, long clusters DeChaunac 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
  8/11/06 17.3 1.32 2.93 13.1 149 of tough berries can hang and take it.  Fine color and mild tannin   12 13 14 15 16
  8/13/06 17.0 0.99 3.02 17.2 155 probably needs blended with a more tannic grape for balance.    
  8/18/06 18.2 1.09 2.99 16.7 163 Handles birds and bugs well and is not terribly disease prone.    
  8/22/06 20.6 0.96 3.17 21.5 207 Given time to ripen, DeChaunac is a very good, dependable grape.    
  8/31/06 21.0 0.96 3.21 21.9 216                            
Kay Gray 8/4/06 17.0 0.90 3.24 18.9 178 Strangly flavored like grassy gooseberries.  Gets sweet but  Kay Gray 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
  8/11/06 19.6 0.57 3.41 34.4 228 cracked a little upon rain after drought.  Very disease resistant    
  8/13/06 20.0 0.54 3.62 37.0 262 and nothing bothered the fruit.                          
Lucie Kuhlmann 8/4/06 18.1 1.62 2.97 11.2 160 Small berries, medium packed to loose clusters, birds love it. Lucie Kuhlmann 1 2 3 4 5
  8/13/06 22.1 1.21 3.04 18.3 204 Doesn't seem to crack like Foch and Millot but is very early and    
  8/18/06 22.0 1.08 3.14 20.4 217 much attached by birds and bugs.  Gets another year of trial.                          
Mars 8/4/06 17.2 1.02 3.02 16.9 157 Nicely flavored fruit of very mild labruscana flavor.  Clusters about Mars 1 2 3 4
  8/11/06 16.8 0.70 3.12 24.0 164 like Concord and essentially seedless.  Very vigorous vine with   5 6 7 8
  8/18/06 17.1 0.63 3.07 27.1 161 big leaves.  Does well at market.                          
Foch 8/11/06 20.0 1.17 3.21 17.1 206 Small, tight clusters.  Starts to crack at ripeness.  Birds are Foch 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
  8/18/06 20.7 0.90 3.29 23.0 224 moderately hard on it.  Too early for our area, but tasty.                          
Baco Noir 8/11/06 19.7 1.77 3.04 11.1 182 Nicer than last year, but still beat up by the birds before it could Baco Noir 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
  8/22/06 21.7 1.28 3.18 17.0 219 hang to proper pH.  Still, a tough vine and good cropper, and the    
  8/31/06 22.1 1.26 3.25 17.5 233 wine comes out fine with the pH increase during skin soak.                          
Seyval Blanc 8/11/06 16.8 1.24 2.86 13.5 137 What can you say?  If it weren't for Seyval's major overcropping Seyval Blanc 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
  8/13/06 17.1 0.83 3.05 20.6 159 problem, we might have an ideal grape for the East given current    
  8/18/06 19.4 0.96 3.00 20.2 175 pesticide usage.  Beautiful, large, golden clusters hang well    
  8/20/06 19.6 0.88 3.06 22.3 184 to the peak of ripeness.  The aroma is of melons and papaya.    
  8/27/06 21.6 0.90 3.21 24.0 223 Easy to vinify and as long as you keep it cool in the primary     
  8/31/06 22.9 0.75 3.32 30.5 252 the aromas are nicely retained.  Needs lots of care early and in    
  9/4/06 21.8 0.75 3.48 29.1 264 mid-summer (2nd-ary clusters) to make sure it doesn't overcrop.                          
Captivator 8/11/06 16.0 0.82 3.20 19.5 164 A beautiful fruit to behold and a treat to eat.  Vine is somewhat Captivator 1 2 3 4 5 6
  8/23/06 17.2 0.56 3.32 30.7 190 PM prone, but the fruit flavor is exquisite.                          
America 8/11/06 15.3 1.08 3.14 14.2 151 Now here's a funny flavored fruit!  A blend of the Munson flavor America 1 2 3 4 5 6
  8/22/06 17.2 1.08 3.14 15.9 170 with a labrusca.  Not at all a standard flavor, but pleasant any-   7 8 9
  9/6/06 17.4 0.78 3.41 22.3 202 how.  Like Munson, a tongue stainer it is so dark.  Easy to grow    
  9/11/06 17.6 0.48 3.50 36.7 216 and is fruitful, so worth a try.  Makes interesting jelly.                          
Lindley 8/11/06 15.2 0.82 3.01 18.5 138 Edward Rogers did us a BIG favor here.  Female, but stunningly Lindley 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
  8/23/06 18.4 0.42 3.25 43.8 194 flavored, large berried, and low acidity.  Far more delicious than    
  8/27/06 17.4 0.42 3.28 41.4 187 Concord and grows very well.  You owe it to yourself to grow it.                          
Johnson ES2-4-7 X V.coigneteae 8/11/06 16.7 1.38 2.89 12.1 139 David Johnson's hybrid.  Small clusters of small-medium black Johnson ES2-4-7 X V.coigneteae 1 2 3
  8/24/06 20.0 1.08 3.09 18.5 191 berries.  Fairly neutral, early and sweet.  A good early breeder.                            
Chancellor 8/11/06 16.3 1.40 3.09 11.6 156 Oh if it could withstand the birds!  A tasty red wine grape with Chancellor 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
  8/24/06 18.8 0.91 3.28 20.7 202 great chemistry - if it gets ripe!  The birds and hornets really go at    
  9/6/06 20.0 0.82 3.40 24.4 231 it and it overcrops worse than Seyval.  Pretty disease prone, too.                          
Buffalo 8/11/06 17.1 0.98 2.92 17.4 146 I love my Buffalo, that's all there is to it!  It never gets foxy, only Buffalo 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
  8/18/06 18.2 0.78 3.06 23.3 170 a sort of muscat aroma.  It grows, well, has big berries, and makes    
  8/22/06 18.7 0.75 3.14 24.9 184 red wine off the vine.  The wine is a nice, light, fruity red that has    
  9/4/06 20.0 0.60 3.40 33.3 231 a good tannin kick.  This is a much overlooked labruscana that     
  9/6/06 20.0 0.52 3.35 38.5 224 makes nice red wine.  It should be grown to blend with Norton.                          
Canadice 8/11/06 18.0 0.63 3.22 28.6 187 Early, red, sweet and sells like crazy at the market.  It is a slow Canadice 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
  8/18/06 18.4 0.51 3.24 36.1 193 grower like Delaware, though, and is prone to spray injury.                          
Ravat 34 8/11/06 17.7 0.84 3.28 21.1 190 Grow this instead of Vignoles.  Medium berries on medium, well- Ravat 34 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
  8/13/06 17.7 0.87 3.28 20.3 190 formed, open clusters.  Hangs well, nice wine.  Give it a try.                          
Jupiter 8/11/06 19.0 0.62 3.32 30.6 209 My muscattiest muscat.  Lovely, long clusters of ellipsoidal blue- Jupiter 1 2 3 4 5 6
  8/18/06 19.4 0.51 3.40 38.0 224 black berries.  Make muscatel off the vine with this one.  It won't    
  8/20/06 18.9 0.58 3.29 32.6 205 last to the press, though, because it tastes so good.                          
Suffolk Red 8/11/06 16.4 0.69 2.89 23.8 137 Suffolk Red is tempermental in VA, but it is a finely flavored, delicate Suffolk Red 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
  8/20/06 19.2 0.58 2.96 33.1 168 textured table grape worth working for.  I also reaches high Brix and   8 9 10
  8/27/06 19.4 0.51 3.09 38.0 185 low acidity making it a valuable breeder with wild vines.   11
  9/4/06 18.0 0.90 3.13 20.0 176 Splits some, hornets like it, somewhat uneven ripening, but good.                          
Himrod 8/11/06 14.6 0.66 3.09 22.1 139 The jumbo clustered Ontario X Thompson child.  Big green-yellow Himrod 1
