Thanks for that explanation. What area do you grow in?

  Southern Ontario, hobby farm just above the Niagara Escarpment. About USDA hardiness zone 5. Just a hobby, grow a smattering of different things, mostly hybrids bred by the University of Minnesota ("Marquette" chiefly)

    Intersting. Just did some reading on that grape. I am going to have to try to find a bottle of it try. My wife and I have a large wine collection and we always love finding new varieties we have never tried.

      Shelburne Winery in Vermont makes a reasonable one. With hybrids, you're always fighting acidity and low tannins, so the wine maker really needs to be excellent. They are not forgiving grapes, and because they are often pitched as cheaper bulk grapes (because they are easier to grow) they are often made into low quality cheap country wines, sweet wines, etc. Which gives them an even worse reputation.
