          A very lovely French hybrid with beautiful black clusters,  I picked this too early due  1 2 3 4  
Couderc 4401 3.22 0.98 18.3 8/18/2009 to bird predation, but netted it should hang well into September for some fantastic Couderc 4401
          wine chemistry.  As it was, the wine turned out most Chambourcin-like and very good.                                
          I'm not sure Schuyler is really best used in red wine.  The acidity drops very low but 1 2 3 4 5 6 7  
Schuyler 3.37 0.58 20.6 8/18/2009 the pH stays down like a lot of labruscanas.  I suspect if it were pressed for a blanc Schuyler
          de noirs white wine, it would be smashing.  Beautiful, big, fruity and pretty healthy.                                
          Oh, Diamond, why aren't you grown as much as Chardonnay?  The people love you 1 2 3  
Diamond 3.29 0.5 16.9 8/18/2009 for your grapes AND for your wine.  Don't even bring up a comparison of suitability Diamond
          for growing in the East.  Big, berries, intensely fruity, juicy and multi-purpose. What  
          else could you want from a famous labruscana!                                
          Like Diamond, I can't say enough about Delaware.  Joined by Diamond and Dutchess 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8  
Delaware 3.28 0.84 19.0 8/18/2009 in my 3-D White blend, it makes an amazingly well-received wine.  Whatever people 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Delaware
          may be hearing about vinifera in the World and stores, THIS is the kind of grape and  
          wine they are really clamoring for.  See previous Virtual Vineyards for my praise.                                
          My best flavored muscat.  Seedless, large berried, large clustered, purple and overall 1 2 3 4 5 6  
Jupiter 3.28 0.54 18.0 8/18/2009 simply stunning.  The vine could be more disease resistant, but the fruit is so good Jupiter
        it is worth caring for.  Went into the '09 mylonite white to add fruitiness.  My single  
          vine yielded an amazing 17.94# this year cane pruned.  And a great parent, too!                                
          I got the Romulus before it shattered this year.  The analysis was from a test sample 1 2 3 4  
Romulus 3.06 0.81 19.1 8/18/2009 picked early.  Of the Ontario X Thompson Seedless sisters, this one seems most like Romulus
          a wine grape to me, even though it is seedless.  Still hanging in there after six years.                                
          Can you tell this vine has too much vinifera in it from its chemistry?  Almost as good  1 2  
NY Muscat 3.38 0.52 19.8 8/18/2009 muscat flavor as Jupiter, this old NY hybrid is really a nice wine grape.  Slow growing NY Muscat
          and not very vigorous, it remains to be seen how long it survives on its own feet.  Still,  
          it is an extremely good tasting grape with fabulous wine chemistry.                                
          Captivator is one of my most favored table grapes at the market.  Very aromatic and  
Captivator 3.37 0.45 18.0 8/18/2009 having a translucent red-orange color with gray bloom it is hard to pass up.  Its flavor Captivator
          is best described as "Captivating!"  Someone please make wine from this!                                
          And then there is Winchell.  Unbelievable.  Clearly this grape ranks with Diamond, 1 2 3 4 5  
Winchell 3.31 0.57 21.4 8/18/2009 Delaware and Dutchess as a top labruscana for white wine.  Stunning clusters of Winchell
          medium green-yellow berries with a most delicious labruscana flavor.  Very healthy, too.                                
          Big berries and green-yellow, actually quite like Ontario.  The vine is very healthy 1 2 3 4 5 6  
Swenson White 3.41 0.58 20.0 8/21/2009 and it looks to be a good cropper.  Probably not much advantage her over older Swenson White
          white labruscanas for zones 6+ where hardiness isn't a big issue.                                
          This was a single cluster of first fruit on a small vine, so it remains to be seen how 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 <<< Elvira (cracking)  
Rommel 3.54 0.39 16.4 8/21/2009 Rommel's chemistry develops.  In the Elvira class, it is very healthy and the fruit Rommel
          seemed a bit more Welchy than Elvira is able to ripen to.  Didn't crack.                                
  2.92 0.7 16.6 8/24/2009 16.9#/vine at harvest 8/31.  This is an excellent grape for vinifera-style wine, much like 1 2 3 4 5 6 7  
Rayon d'Or 3.17 0.67 19.4 8/31/2009 its daughter Seyval Blanc.  It is healthy, upright, with big tight clusters - perhaps Rayon d'Or
          too tight.  Yet, it crops faithfully with minimal problems.  Just keep the GBM's out of  
          the clusters to reduce cracking and rot and you'll be home free. (GBM = grape berry moth)                                
  3.14 0.64 19.6 8/24/2009 What can you say?  Get it at pH=3.35 and you'll get perfect wine chemistry!  The 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10  
Seyval Blanc 3.42 0.75 23.2 9/4/2009 wine is lovely, the vines are tough and disease resistant, it crops like a monster, and Seyval Blanc
  3.47 0.73 22.6 9/7/2009 the secondaries make great verjus.  A well adapted grape.                                
  3.16 1.35 20.1 8/24/2009 Baco, like O-595 and many or my wild riparias takes forever to get ripe in chemical  
Baco Noir 3.38 1.05 21.0 9/16/2009 terms.  The acidity of the riparias and their hybrids seems to linger forever, long after Baco Noir
          the birds take interest.  The high Brix, color, and lovely herbaceousness are worth it.                                
  3.15 1.36 20.5 8/24/2009 I still need to work on letting my O-595 hang.  I did better this year, but it still needed  
Oberlin 595 3.22 1.06 22.6 8/31/2009 a week or two more.  I love the long, open cylinders of small black berries and intensely Oberlin 595
  3.38 0.81 23.4 9/7/2009 dark color.  The pepperiness is delicious.  As rank as Baco Noir, but the fruit is a very  
          different thing being smaller berry, tougher skin and darker.                                  
  3.31 1.02 21.4 8/24/2009 The Foch got fully ripe this year and what a treat!  This is a superb red wine grape for  
Foch 3.46 0.79 23.3 9/7/2009 this region and ripens well early to get the new vintage under way.  Making a most  Foch
          delightful, hearty red wine, it should be given all the attention of Cab. Franc and then  
          Virginia would really see what it is capable of making!  Grow it.  Don't even think.                                
          My Lucie/Foch/O595 blend I call "Tobacco Row Moutain Red."  It is one of my dry  
Lucie Kuhlmann 3.36 0.81 19.6 8/31/2009 wine customers' favorites and is in short supply.  Lucie is key in the blend, adding a Lucie Kuhlmann
          tasty pepperiness and more cherry on top of the Foch.  A really superb red wine grape.                                
Ambers 06-5-1          Now here's a nifty new grape.  This was only an early-harvested sample.  I never got back 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Ambers 06-5-1 
(MN1095 X Seyval Blanc) 3.21 1.27 19.9 8/24/2009 to test it later, but will next year as it should get red wine correct.  It looks like black (MN1095 X Seyval Blanc)
          Seyval and did well in the 2009 downyfest.  I have high hopes for this one.                                
Ambers 06-5-5 3.33 0.97 25.6 9/20/2009 Harvested at a more appropriate time than #1.  Small, compact, golden clusters of very 1 2 3 4 Ambers 06-5-5
(MN1095 X Seyval Blanc)         sweet, small beriies.  Like a small cluster version of Vignoles.                               (MN1095 X Seyval Blanc)
Ambers 06-114-1 3.08 1.23 20.7 8/24/2009 My first fruit from a hybrid with the Foxy Vixen!   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Ambers 06-114-1
 "New Bland A"   3.35 1.09 22.3 9/8 stored to 10/2 Tasty red-purple berries, mildly Welchy, open fist-sized clusters.  Vine very labrusca-like 8 9 10 11 12 13 14  "New Bland A"  
          in character.                                
Ambers 06-114-2         A sister of the #1.  This vine has a peculiar leaf distortion malady that crumples the 1 2 3 4 5 6 Ambers 06-114-2
 (Foxy Vixen X Edelweiss) 3.18 1.12 19.0 8/24/2009 leaves so they are never flat or perfect.  The fruit is dark purple and as tasty as #1. Its  (Foxy Vixen X Edelweiss)
          clusters look very similar too: open, fist sized, self fertile, long pedicels and peduncles.                                
          WOW!  How's that for early?!  Kay Gray always is one of my first grapes to really get  
Kay Gray 3.62 0.4 20.6 8/24/2009 ripe.  With its peculiar gooseberry-ish flavor, I am really glad producers up north are Kay Gray
          making wine from it.  It is a very healthy vine and makes a good parent.                                
          Sample was from secondaries!  I sold the primaries at market.  Thin skinned, and a   
Aurore 3.02 1.3 13.0 8/25/2009 lovely white-yellow, Aurore is really a nice grape if you can protect it from the birds  Aurore
          and keep the fungi off early.                                
          A vinifera-lover's version of Delaware!  Med-large clusters of green-yellow berries have 1 2 3 4  
Croton 3.17 0.6 19.6 8/25/2009 a most outstanding mild Delaware flavor with lower acidity and nearly as high Brix. Croton
          Too much vinifera pedigree, but a valuable breeder and stunning to behold.  Graft.                                
          Forget Niagara as the white Concord.  Hayes is a selfed seedling of Concord and is  
Hayes 3.54 0.38 16.7 8/25/2009 very like it in just about every aspect except fruit color which is green-yellow.  Actually, Hayes
          I find the flavor less cloying than Concord, too.  Very good for what it is.                                
          There goes that pH up while the acidity remains!  Cayuga is a nice vine, but with so  
Cayuga 3.41 1.02 17.7 8/25/2009 many wine grapes that have better chemistry here, why mess with it?  Other than Cayuga
          easy availability, I'm not sure I see the advantages of this vine for this area.                                
          Dr. Norman Good's seedless selection available from Lon Rombough.  This vine is 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8  
Dr. Good 3.19 0.84 15.0 8/25/2009 grafted on a riparia seedling and it cracked spectacularly this year - worse than Elvira! Dr. Good
          We'll keep watching Dr. Good to evaluate it in future years.                                
          I still love my Pocklington.  It does suffer a bit from carbamate fungicides burning its 1 2 3 4  
Pocklington 3.51 0.42 16.7 8/25/2009 leaves, but the fruit is just the kind of traditional labruscana flavor I want for my Vixen Pocklington
          Gris wine.  A healthy, productive vine that should not be forgotten.                                
          I decided to try to graft over half my Golden Muscat this year because it isn't the  
Golden Muscat 3.15 0.7 17.0 8/25/2009 most productive and cracks.  None of the grafts took!  Still, it works in well into the Golden Muscat
          Vixen Gris for timing and flavor so I'll keep what's left.                                
          Very mild labruscana flavor with tight, fist sized clusters of blond, elongate berries.  
Rebecca 3.52 0.33 16.7 8/28/2009 A favorite at my grape tasting for the Munson Centennial meeting in September.  Vines Rebecca
          are low vigor, but drought during establishment may have hurt them.                                
Ambers 06-62-3          Here is one of my hybrids that is really special.  Having huge yellow berries as big as 1 2 3 4 <<<< #2  
"Miakota" 3.47 0.51 19.1 8/30/2009 nickles, its flavor is like Himrod but the texture is meaty with a chewable skin that breaks 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 <<<< #3 Ambers 06-62-3 "Miakota" (Lindley X Himrod)
 (Lindley X Himrod)         down in a very peculiar, favorable manner.  Female and ready to accept your favorite pollen!                                
Ambers 06-48-9          This is a particularly lovely little grape with medium berries on open clusters and small  
"First Rose" 3.32 0.56 19.8 8/30/2009 seed remnants that are easily chewed.  The berries look and taste a lot like Munson's Ambers 06-48-9 "First Rose" (Last Rose X Canadice)
 (Last Rose X Canadice)         Last Rose, but this one is fairly early.  Could be used for further seedless breeding.                                
Ambers 06-53-3          Med-large purple-blue berries on a delicate rachis.  I have never eaten a grape like this 1 2 3 4  
"Juice Bag"  3.04 0.66 18.4 8/31/2009 before - it turns into juice when you bite it with seemingly no solids left.  There are a few Ambers 06-53-3 "Juice Bag" (Last Rose X Reliance)
(Last Rose X Reliance)         small seeds, but you don't really notice them.  What a joy breeding these things is!                                
          Oberlin's curious hybrid of Taylor and Chasselas.  Holds its acidity long and gets quite 1 2 3 4 5  
Oberlin 782 3.37 1.41 18.6 9/4/2009 sweet.  Vine is healthy and productive.  Fruit is neutral in flavor like Chasselas, Oberlin 782
          but is much sweeter and more acidic.  Useful in breeding and wine.                                
          I finally let the pH go up on my Ravat 34 and what a treat.  This is a nice, open-clustered  
Ravat 34 3.48 0.79 19.4 9/4/2009 grape that crops dependably and is healthy.  It seems to do very well with cane Ravat 34
          pruning, making pounder clusters that are pinkish translucent.  Quite neutral in flavor.                                
Chasselas (own rooted) 3.53 0.58 17.0 9/4/2009 The old vinifera table grape of France that tastes like a tea-sweet water-bag.  I just Chasselas (own rooted)
Chasselas (grafted) 3.95 0.58 14.0 9/4/2009 don't get those folks' tastes.  Anyway, as vinifera go the vine does well and it is quite Chasselas (grafted)
          amazing how well the own-rooted vines are surviving my heavy phylloxera.  Still, graft.                                
Chardonnay 3.35 0.78 20.9 9/4/2009 See that chemistry?  That's what makes this the favorite grape for the factory winery. Chardonnay
          Be ready to spray a lot.                                
          Another Euro-table-grape with tea sweetness and a watery muscat flavor.  While great    
Chasselas Musque 3.79 0.63 14.1 9/4/2009 for adjusting the chemistry of our wild vines in hybrids, I'm not sure what the Old World Chasselas Musque
          love of this grape is about.  Sometimes listed as a synonym of Muscat of Alexandria.                                
          1 of 5 vines had significant fruit after last year's drought abuse.  These own-root vines 1 2 3 4 5 6    
Chardonel 3.21 0.9 20.7 9/4/2009 are probably suffering phylloxera and don't like being dry.  I don't give them much Chardonel
          more time.  Graft your Chardonel if you want to grow it.                                
          While my Vivant isn't terribly downy mildew resistant, it does crop well year-after-year  
Vivant 3.22 0.81 22.4 9/4/2009 and makes a much cleaner wine than Cayuga.  It would benefit from Captan closer to 1 2 3 4 5 <<<< Cayuga Vivant
          harvest than I am willing, but I get good fruit although a bit low pH picking on fruit condition.                                
          Herb Barrett's ladyfinger grape named after his wife.  What a bizarre thing to see.  
Lady Patricia 3.36 0.81 19.6 9/4/2009 Weird, pointy, mini-footballs on big, loose clusters.  The leaves are pretty lacey.  All Lady Patricia
          things considered, it is much like Villard Blanc with odd fruit.  Very cool.                                
          Another industrial grape par excellence.  Just squeeze it and let the bugs loose.   
Pinot Gris 3.34 0.7 20.5 9/4/2009 What a great thing when you've got 37 truckloads of umpteen bajillion tons of this stuff  Pinot Gris
          to get to the jug.  Like Chardonnay, just be ready to paint on the fungal prophylaxis.                                
          Of my vinifera pollen parents, I think I like Gewurz the best.  It actually tastes like    
Gewurztraminer 3.53 0.72 20.4 9/4/2009 something!  It also seems to help the downy mildew resistance of hybrids made with Gewurztraminer
          it, to my surprise.  I wouldn't want more than one of it, but it is my most favored of the lot.                                
          Traminette is really starting to annoy me.  It  grows like a weed on its own feet and I 1 2 3 4 5 6 7  
Traminette 3.08 0.94 19.0 9/4/2009 have yet to figure out how to get it to produce a full crop.  This year it is entirely cane Traminette
          pruning.  This, at least, seems to cut back on the weedy vigor by getting a few more  
          clusters on the vines.  Fruit quality is quite good, though does sun burn easily.                                
          Now, this makes me sad.  I REALLY want to taste a varietal Keuka wine.  I suspect  
Keuka 3.47 0.54 18.7 9/4/2009 I may lose interest in Gewurz. all-together!  The muscat-labruscana blend in the aroma Keuka
          of Keuka is stellar.  Beautiful red grapes on big, close packed clusters.  What a stunner.                                
          Wow, what a grape!  Esprit continues to impress with its pounder clusters of bloomy 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8  
Esprit 3.43 0.7 18.0 9/4/2009 green-white berries that hang and hang with no interest to the birds.  The wine is much Esprit
          better than Cayuga, in my estimation, and the vines are wicked tough and vigorous.  
          When my adjacent Chardonel dies, I may replace it with more Esprit.                                
  3.18 0.34 18.2 8/31/2009 Uh, why isn't this growing all over the Mid-Atlantic?  Steuben is massively productive 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11  
Steuben 3.35 0.64 18.7 9/4/2009 and has perfect white wine chemistry.  Throw in its beautiful muscat-labruscana aroma, Steuben
          disease resistance, and good bird tolerance, and you have a perfect match.                                
  3.40 0.54 16.4 9/4/2009 I'm down to one America vine due to its overwhelmingly "Munson-ey" character which 1 2 3 4 5  
America 3.59 0.67 18.3 8/30 stored to 10/1 I don't really like.  The clusters won't seem to fill out, and the Brix aren't great, either. America
          Throw in the overly sassafras-ey wine aroma, and I'll pass, even if bullet-proof.                                
          Quite similar to America in chemistry, yet the wine flavor is much more pleasant thanks 1 2 3 4 5 6 7  
Mericadel 3.45 0.58 16.3 9/4/2009 to the hyridization with Delaware.  Very much like America in vine character, but the fruit Mericadel
          sets better and is more productive.  I'll keep these.  Works well in my Blue Quartz Rose'.                                
          Still one of my favorite labruscanas.  The muscat in the flavor is lovely, like in Keuka and 1 2 3 4 5  
Buffalo 3.49 0.63 19.0 9/4/2009 Steuben.  Wine chemistry is great, and the vines are quite disease resistant and Buffalo
          vigorous.  Will see first fruit on Buffalo's mother "Herbert" in 2010.                                
          Dutchess came through with a beautiful crop of medium cluster size, small-medium 1 2  
Dutchess 3.33 0.61 19.0 9/7/2009 berried grapes this year.  What a treat!  Where is Dutchess now?  Like Delaware it is Dutchess
          stunning.  Healthy, vigorous, delicious.  It makes me hate industrial rationalization.                                
  3.39 0.31 18.4 9/7/2009 Look at that acidity!  At 18 Brix it is no wonder this grape tastes like candy!  My 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10  
Lindley 3.62 0.28 20.1 9/8 stored to 10/2 dozens of hybrids with Lindley are starting to produce and prove this grape is VERY Lindley
          valuable in breeding.  It must be preserved.  Please grow a vine of it.  Female.                                
          I do like this grape.  Like a small version of Villard Blanc with Seyval-like aroma and 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9  
SV 23-512 3.49 0.6 20.5 9/7/2009 productivity.  If wineries and grape growers weren't such sheep, they'd be trying all SV 23-512
          the old hybrids, French and otherwise, to enjoy the fruits of these vines.  Diversity rules!                                
  3.24 0.69 20.0 8/24/2009 I finally got enough Wayne this year to make a really solid batch.  It is a really 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10  
Wayne (USDA PI588125 “Wine King”) 3.42 0.57 20.6 9/7/2009 nice vine with proper vigor and crop load.  The grapes are gorgeous.  The acidity is Wayne (USDA PI588125 “Wine King”)
          a bit low for red wine, so it probably needs acidic partners in a blend.  I love it!                                
          And here is a good blending partner for Wayne!  These berries were getting dimples  
DeChaunac 3.26 0.84 21.4 9/7/2009 from raisining, but it still held its acidity and low pH.  The wine came out delicious DeChaunac
          as it took ML very well and came right into line.                                
          A wild species from the midcontinent.  Looks like a hybrid of riparia and rupestris.  It  1 2 3  
Vitis longii 3.16 2 20.3 9/7/2009 has the most upright growth of a wild species I know of.  The clusters and berries are Vitis longii
          small, but the fruit has red pulp.  Very good red cherry flavor.  Thanks, Aaron!                                
          MN1095 is surprisingly late ripening for a seedling from a Manitoba riparia.  It could  
MN1095 3.24 1.16 18.0 9/7/2009 easily hang three more weeks from this sample date.  A very good vine and grape for MN1095
          breeding.  My many seedlings will help define its capabilities.                                
Munson 3.61 0.93 18.1 9/8 stored to 10/1 = Jaeger #70.  The heavy, dark, lincecumii X rupestris from Hermann Jaeger. 1 2 3 4 5 6                   Munson

XLNTA 3.33 0.97 17.1 9/8 stored to 10/1 Munson's super-dark tooth stainer.  Big berries.  Clusters getting bigger with age. 1 2 3 4 5 6                   XLNTA
Alphonse de Serres (V. rupestris) 3.79 1.15 19.2 9/8 stored to 10/1 WIld rupestris.  Amazing chemistry.  Color is extremely dark.                               Alphonse de Serres (Vitis rupestris)
          Rebecca's favorite eating grape.  Pure muscat flavor in crisp, ellipsoidal berries.  The   
Pierelle 3.51 0.96 18.0 9/11/2009 vine is weedy rank and hard to get to produce, but the fruit is stunning.  Delightful in Pierelle
          muscat blends.  I need to cross this to more productive muscats like Jupiter & Buffalo.                                
          Dependable with lovely yellow berries on big clusters.  Healthy, vigorous and makes  
Veeblanc 3.34 1 19.2 9/11/2009 delicious wine with good acidity.  Veeblanc simply came on the scene late as the vinifera Veeblanc
          were taking hold in the East.  Otherwise it would be much more widely planted.                                
          One of my lesser vinifera that was used widely in breeding the French hybrids.  This  
Aramon 3.43 0.69 20.2 9/14/2009 is a fat little clustered grape, so far, and may never be much more as it isn't grafted. Aramon
          Still, its record in the French hybrids is so strong I want to try to get its pollen on something.g.                                
          Aramon's blending partner.  You can see how it would work with Alicante boosting the 1 2  
Alicante Bouschet 3.56 0.85 18.3 9/14/2009 acidity and color in the blend.  A nice looking black grape in open clusters.  I did manage Alicante Bouschet
          to pollinate some aestivalii, cinerea and bicolor with it, so it has served me well.                                
          Squish it and watch it turn into wine.  Another industrial favorite!  This single vine  
Merlot 3.50 0.78 19.5 9/14/2009 has done quite well for me, surprisingly.  On the edge in dry soil, it cropped well (12.24#) Merlot
          and is better than Vidal Blanc in DM resistance.  Still, I wouldn't want an acre of it.                                
          Not as ripe tasting as the Merlot, but does about as well.  The flavor it not inspiring,  
Cabernet Franc 3.52 0.7 18.6 9/14/2009 tasting like a store grape.  It is easy to get decent wine out of, but it doesn't seem to Cabernet Franc
          crop as well (only 6.98#) as the Merlot.  I find most VA Cab. Franc wines also uninspiring.                                
  3.51 0.72 21.0 9/14/2009 Now dig this chemistry compared to the last two.  This is likely a selfed seedling of  
Rosette "B" 3.57 0.57 23.2 9/16/2009 Rosette that popped up in some cuttings I got from Buckingham Valley Vineyards in PA. Rosette "B"
          It has really good black cherry flavor and grows well on its own roots!  Nice stuff.                                
          Landot Noir is one of the standard red French hybrids that is tough and makes  
Landot Noir 3.58 0.8 21.8 9/14/2009 really good wine.  Not grossly productive yet, but these vines are young.  The birds do  Landot Noir
          like its fruit, so netting is advised.  Grow it - love it!

  3.32 1.14 21.4 10/13/2009 wild vines can be improved.  Much to be learned from this vine.  Self-fertile.

          Eumelan Class, earthy light Delaware flavor.  Beautiful properly packed clusters.
