Glenora is a high-quality seedless variety that produces medium-sized blue berries with mild and pleasant flavor.
Reliance produces large clusters of round, red, medium-sized berries with tender skin non-adhering to flesh. Color is pink to red when fully mature with delicate Labrusca flavor and aroma, without noticeable seed traces.
Vanessa produces medium-sized clusters of bright deep red berries with moderate bloom, firm flesh, and crisp texture. Flavor is mildly aromatic but not of Labrusca type and is considered among the best of red seedless grapes.
New York Muscat produces reddish-black fruit with fine muscat flavor. Used for sweet muscat wines and as a dosage in champagne, its largest drawback is lack of winter hardiness.
A sister seedling of La Crosse, St. Pepin typically produces fruit with low acidity and is used for German style white wines and for ice wine. Not self-pollinated so must be planted near another variety that blooms at the same time.
A full sibling of Himrod, Lakemont has milder flavor and more compact clusters with fairly small berries. Not as winter hardy as Himrod.
Blanc du Bois is a Pierce's disease tolerant cultivar with very good wine quality potential. Grown successfully where temperatures do not drop below +10F (USDA hardiness zone 8). Grown in coastal areas in the southeast United States (South Carolina to Texas) and north into the Texas Hill country....
Developed as a table grape, Edelweiss has medium-sized berries on large loose clusters. Wine is usually finished sweet and has pineapple overtones; fruit should be harvested at 14°- 16° brix to avoid strong Labrusca flavors.

In the early 1800s, Isabella was widely planted in the North Atlantic and New England States where Catawba could not reliably ripen, but it fell out of favor after Concord was introduced. Isabella can withstand tropical and sub-tropical climates and is the most widely planted grape cultivar in so...
Suffolk Red produces medium to large, loose clusters of mild-flavored red berries. Winter damage and poor fruit set are often problems, but flavor is outstanding.
Fredonia is an early Concord-type, ripening about two weeks earlier. Valued for both table grape production and for wine.
A sister seedling of Himrod, Interlaken is very early ripening. It produces clusters of small, white berries with strong American flavor.
Thomcord is highly productive with large clusters of medium-sized berries, but unlike Concord, it has adherent skin. The aromatic Labrusca flavor is similar to that of Concord but mellower.
Villard Blanc produces a late-ripening white grape in large, loose, compound clusters and has good resistance to Pierce's disease. Produces an outstanding table grape, and is typically used for blending to produce more neutral white wines.
