   Season 13: Fresh, New Varieties For Your Shopping Cart | Episode 8: Loosening Up Vignoles Wine Grape

   Geneva, New York is one of the great destinations in the U.S. for crisp, juicy, semi-dry and semi-sweet wines. Here in the Finger Lakes region, wineries pour popular varieties like Riesling, Cabernet Franc, and Chardonnay, as well as unique hybrid grapes, like Niagara, Cayuga White, and Vignoles. In this episode, you’ll learn how researchers developed loosely clustered Vignoles wine grapes that drastically reduced their susceptibility to bunch rot disease. You’ll also learn how researchers are trying to get more “Foxy” flavor in the popular Concord grape.
