DeChaunac 7/27/07 18.9 1.57 3.08 12.0 179 0.51 1.76 An excellent wine grape IF allowed to hang to full ripeness.  The pH at DeChaunac
8/10/07 21.3 1.12 3.15 19.0 211 0.36 0.76 harvest must be above 3.50 for the acidity to be reasonable and the
8/26/07 21.2 0.98 3.12 21.6 206 0.31 0.56 flavors to be mature.  Otherwise, think sour grass clippings.  DeChauncac
9/3/07 20.7 0.82 3.16 25.2 207 0.26 0.34 wine can be a very good Cabernet Sauvignon replacement IF the fruit is
  9/13/07 21.8 0.78 3.53 27.9 272 0.22 0.29 allowed to ripen properly 6-8 weeks beyond veraison!                        
Reliance 7/27/07 19.4 1.20 3.13 16.2 190 0.38 0.91 Dig that pH for the acidity level!  Reliance is very early for me and Reliance 1
  8/10/07 21.2 0.56 3.27 37.9 227 0.17 0.09 cracks every year.  Sells well at the market if picked before cracking.                        
Vanessa 7/27/07 19.2 0.81 3.20 23.7 197 0.25 0.31 Chemistry like Reliance and early, but does not crack.  Flavor is much Vanessa 1
  8/10/07 19.0 0.52 3.33 36.5 211 0.16 0.06 more neutral than Reliance and the fruit redder.  Nice & crunchy, too!

Buffalo 8/10/07 20.0 0.75 3.14 26.7 197 0.24 0.27 Talk about SOFT red wine!  If it weren't for the hefty tannins the wine Buffalo
8/29/07 22.0 0.53 3.39 41.5 253 0.16 0.07 would be very flat.  Lovely eating grape and ferments to a fruity but not
  8/30/07 20.9 0.51 3.48 41.0 253 0.15 0.07 foxy red wine.  Blends well with many reds to add more fruitiness.                        
Pinot Gris 8/10/07 19.0 0.82 3.10 23.2 183 0.26 0.37 Very nice white wine grape.  Too bad the clusters are so tight and the Pinot Gris 1
  8/21/07 20.9 0.58 3.39 36.0 240 0.17 0.10  vines and fruit are so disease prone.                        
NY Muscat 8/10/07 21.2 0.45 3.45 47.1 252 0.13 0.04 Low vigor, intense muscat aroma, makes lovely muscatel. NY Muscat

Lindley 8/10/07 18.4 0.30 3.25 61.3 194 0.09 0.01 One of the finest old-line labruscanas.  Female but worth having. Lindley                      
Chasselas 373 8/10/07 16.1 0.45 3.47 35.8 194 0.13 0.05 Davis selection DVIT373.  Very low acidity but the pH rises fast Chasselas 373 1 2 3 4 5
8/19/07 19.2 0.34 3.89 56.5 291 0.09 0.30 during ripening.  Used only for breeding in my vineyard.  This may be
8/26/07 18.3 0.38 3.91 48.2 280 0.10 0.33 an interesting vinifera to try if you are into that sort of thing (spraying).
  9/9/07 18.0 0.36 3.96 50.0 282 0.09 0.38 Very neutral, sweet and juicy.                        
Seneca 8/10/07 19.5 0.45 3.41 43.3 227 0.13 0.04 Higher Brix than Chasselas and lower acidity!  A perfect breeder to Seneca 1
8/19/07 20.2 0.45 3.64 44.9 268 0.12 0.12 pair with wild vines.  The pH still rises fast on ripening, but how this
  9/9/07 21.3 0.27 3.88 78.9 321 0.07 0.28 translates into hybrids with wilds is not known to me.  Very fine grape.                        
Kay Gray 8/10/07 23.4 0.45 3.64 52.0 310 0.12 0.12 Still as grassy as ever.  Very sweet and disease resistant.  Makes a Kay Gray 1
  8/19/07 25.7 0.52 3.94 49.4 399 0.13 0.41 peculiar, but pleasant wine.  Very, very early.                        
Delaware 8/10/07 21.4 0.75 3.13 28.5 210 0.24 0.28 Delaware has sterling wine chemistry.  If you like subtle foxiness and Delaware 1
8/19/07 24.8 0.52 3.37 47.7 282 0.15 0.06 an aestivalis fruitiness, Delaware is unbeatable.  Stunning to eat when
  8/21/07 23.5 0.42 3.57 56.0 300 0.12 0.07 fresh even with small berries and seeds.  Its low vigor is welcome here.                        
Lakemont 8/10/07 19.7 0.55 3.00 35.8 177 0.18 0.20 Low acidity AND pH.  A natural for wild breeding.  Very good grape. Lakemont                      
Suffolk Red 8/10/07 21.0 0.47 2.99 44.7 188 0.16 0.17 Ditto as for Lakemont.  Strong grower, neutral, open clusters. Suffolk Red                      
Muscat St. Vallier 8/10/07 18.9 1.28 3.11 14.8 183 0.41 1.08 Nice dual-purpose grape.  Very dense shoot production and is weak- Muscat St. Vallier
  9/9/07 24.0 0.50 3.69 48.0 327 0.14 0.17 moderate in disease resistance.  Still, outstanding eating quality.                        
Aurore 8/10/07 19.6 0.71 3.34 27.6 219 0.21 0.19 Perfect wine chemistry, early, clusters too tight.  Neutral is the word. Aurore 1                    
Captivator 8/10/07 20.4 0.75 3.22 27.2 212 0.23 0.25 Super fruity with tropical flavors.  Translucent red-orange fruit is a real Captivator 1
  8/19/07 20.3 0.30 3.45 67.7 242 0.09 0.01 eye-catcher at the market.  Haven't made wine from it.                        
GBC-12 8/10/07 15.5 1.80 3.00 8.6 140 0.60 2.46 Wild Vitis labrusca.  Early and extremely foxy. GBC-12                      
Worden 8/10/07 18.8 0.90 3.22 20.9 195 0.28 0.41 Early Concord-like fruit.  Tastes somewhat like Beta. Worden                      
Pocklington 8/10/07 20.3 0.60 3.31 33.8 222 0.18 0.11 A favorite white seedling of Concord.  Looks like Diamond and a bit Pocklington 1
  8/21/07 21.2 0.42 3.48 50.5 257 0.12 0.04 stronger but no so much as Niagara.  A lovely labruscana wine grape.                        
Diamond 8/10/07 19.0 0.60 3.21 31.7 196 0.19 0.13 Truly the gem of the white labruscanas.  Beautiful, medium clusters of Diamond 1 2 3
8/19/07 20.0 0.75 3.35 26.7 224 0.22 0.23 properly packed med-large green-gold berries.  No doubt one of the
  8/21/07 19.4 0.40 3.38 48.5 222 0.12 0.02 finest old-line labruscana hybrids.  Appears fairly disease resistant.                        
Wine King 8/10/07 20.0 0.68 3.12 29.4 195 0.22 0.22 GROW WINE KING NOT NORTON!  Ripens mid-season, large black Wine King 1 2 3 4 5

Foch 8/10/07 20.4 1.42 3.16 14.4 204 0.45 1.36 Excellent wine chemistry and wine.  Early and vigorous.  Again, pick Foch
8/26/07 23.8 0.78 3.44 30.5 282 0.23 0.27 based on pH not Brix.  Rich Burgundy-like wine takes ML and oak very
  8/27/07 21.0 0.72 3.69 29.2 286 0.20 0.32 nicely.  I blend with Lucie Kuhlmann for a very nice wine.                        
Schuyler 8/10/07 21.0 0.53 3.51 39.6 259 0.15 0.09 Early, low acid, large berries and clusters.  Neutral flavor screams for Schuyler
  8/26/07 22.5 0.45 3.76 50.0 318 0.12 0.20 more use in wine.  Too soon to rate disease resistance.  A lovely grape.                        
MN1095 8/10/07 24.0 1.88 3.05 12.8 223 0.62 2.68 The ultimate northern wine mother.  Early and can reach normal wine MN1095 1 2 3 4

  9/2/07 24.9 0.82 3.30 30.4 271 0.25 0.31 appearance and flavor.  Female.  Very dark wine.                        
Mericadel 8/10/07 15.7 1.05 3.06 15.0 147 0.34 0.69 A true blend of America and Delaware flavor.  Pretty good wine chem Mericadel 1
  8/21/07 18.3 0.48 3.42 38.1 214 0.14 0.05 but VERY dark and fruity.  An odd labrusca-ey flavor, not for everyone.                        
Baco Noir 8/10/07 20.8 1.35 3.05 15.4 193 0.44 1.26 Baco has very thin skins that make it susceptible to birds and there- Baco Noir

Lucie Kuhlmann 8/10/07 24.0 1.35 3.06 17.8 225 0.44 1.25 This is a surprising little grape full of peppery aromas in its small Lucie Kuhlmann
8/19/07 26.4 1.05 3.24 25.1 277 0.32 0.62 berries.  Clusters are med-long, cylindrical, loose and shouldered. Must
8/26/07 24.6 0.82 3.38 30.0 281 0.24 0.30 hang to pH of 3.5 to reduce the strong bell pepper aroma.  Good color,

Oberlin 595 8/10/07 25.2 1.65 3.05 15.3 234 0.54 1.99 This is an acidic riparia hybrid with Gamay that looks a fair bit like Oberlin 595

America 8/10/07 17.4 0.75 3.11 23.2 168 0.24 0.29 Strongly fruity-foxy in a weird way.  Incompletely self-pollinates for  America
  9/10/07 20.3 0.56 3.63 36.3 267 0.15 0.16 straggly clusters.  Impervious to disease.  A good breeder, Wine King is offspring.                      
Munson 8/10/07 14.0 1.50 2.98 9.3 124 0.50 1.65 America's mother and a basis of the French hybrids.  Female, very Munson
  9/9/07 20.0 0.87 3.73 23.0 278 0.23 0.50 dark, strong flavor.  Decent chemistry for a wild hybrid. Disease impervious.                      
Stevenson Brook R22S 8/16/07 21.0 1.50 3.11 14.0 203 0.48 1.57 A foxy, riparia wild hybrid.  Tiny clusters and berries.  Getting pulled.   Stevenson Brook R22S 1 2 3
