There are two separate vines in that area. They look similar but have distinctly different character on the palate: most specifically is the elevated tannin level in this vine, which is of course a big nagging deficit for grape varieties currently being grown in this area. Hopefully this late spring will translate to a later harvest and I'll squeeze some time out to vinify a small batch of one or both of these and see how the wine is. I have to believe that they would both have some nice characteristics as wine. It is indeed the same vine, George. There are two separate vines in that area.

If so, I have a couple dozen seedlings (from seeds sent by Dorothey) up here in Montreal. I plan to transplant them to KC in the Fall, where I can observed and select from them. I'll keep you posted if I run into anything exciting. Best to kT-- George Clyde, is this the wild vine near the door of the store?
