Presently three acres (2000 vines) mixed cold climate grapes, including Marquette, Frontenac, St Croix and a few other reds plus LaCrosse, St Pepin, Chardonel, Petite Amie and some other assorted white ones. This coming spring 750 Marquette and 750 LaCrescent 750 Leon Millot and 400 Concord and 400 Niagara going in.

Any favorites for you personal use?

 

[grapeman]

St.Pepin, Chardonel, Petite Amie and LaCrescent are favorites for whites.

Marquette, Leon Millot and Mn1200 for reds. You won't find Mn1200 anywhere, yet. It is the most complex red wine hybrid to come along so far. I'm hoping I can get Mn to release it soon.......... You would swear it was a fancy vinifera selection if you didn't know better.

Merlot
Americano
Unidentified white. (my guess is Chardonnay)

I got room for about 6 more vines, I was thinking of adding more merlot or some cabernet sauvignon to give the merlot more body.

Any idea what the Americano is, what we call it over here? Red or White?

 

[Wade E]

18 Black Currant bushes, 1 Beauty berry bush, a bunch of Blackberries and some raspberries.

I got the Delicious variety from Sirvents Vineyard and Farm in Florahome, Florida. They also might be available next season from Grapes of Kath at Sebring, Fl. I got the Majesty from Florida A & M University, Tallahassee.

I have been trying to research that since I got the go ahead on this project. So far from what I have read in my limited Italian. (and even less info in English) is that an American hybrid was introduced to Europe in 1906 (give or take a year or two) when most vines were destroyed by disease (some claim that the imports brought the disease) Most information comes from some islands off of Portugal which they call it the strawberry grape, not so good for winemaking (sweet, low alcohol content) and there is an outright European ban on making wine from this grape. However that is in Portugal, no info about this variety this far inland. My guess is it a Merlot hybrid but I cant be sure until I have an expert examine it. Found a German recipe on making jam with this grape but no other info. It is a red.

Oh and I dont have to worry about identifying the white grapes as most have died and the remaining two have not produced any grapes in years and are barely alive so I will dig those up and plant an new Merlot or Cab.

I looked at the Womack page. They say that cowart is the largest muscadine variety. That is incorrect. I hope they know more about their vinifera grapes.
