I just read a great article on Marquette and if we decide to do hybrids, that may be one of the grapes we plant.
Here's my dilema. I live in Northern Virginia (Frederick County) and it's considered zone 6B. I love Petit Syrah but don't think it will survive our harsher winters. I prefer to avoid hybrids (for now). What red grape gives the best tannins for wine making that can survive 6B. Is there anything that comes close to Petit Syrah for this area?
Apologies if I'm asking a redundant question. It just occured to me to ask the forum since I'm always going to the forum for winemaking advise. Maybe someone can help.
Thanks,
Donnah
