Which one to choose from??

[jhawk]

Well this fall I am going to try making wine with grapes picked local u pick vineyard. I am a big fan of semi dry to semi sweet wines like Riesling and pinot grigio. They have several white grapes to choose from, but I can't decide. I want to make a 6 gallon batch. I figured I’ve made enough kit wines to get my feet wet and try fresh grapes. Any suggestions or recommendations? Here is a list of the grapes they have. Any help would be grateful.<?amespace prefix = o ns = "urnchemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><O></O>

Out of the ones you have listed, there are several I would choose. The St. Pepin,Vignoles, and Cayuga should do what you want. The Chardonel would make a good semi-dry Chardonay type. Personally, I think the St. Pepin would give the fruitiness and sweetness you seek. I will be picking mine hopefully this Friday or Saturday-weather permiting. Let us know what you choose!
