Delaware
Pink, Regional (Hybrid) Sep 21 – Sep 24 $87.95
Delaware grapes typically ripen mid-to late-September and have a pale red, almost pinkish color. The skin is tender and the flesh is juicy and sweet. Delaware grapes have small fruit clusters with small berries that do not have the pronounced ‘foxiness’ of other V. labrusca grapes. They are a slip-skin variety, meaning that the skin of the grape is easily separated from the fruit.

Lakemont
White, Regional (Hybrid), Seedless Sep 21 – Sep 24 $85.95
Lakemont Seedless grapes are perfect for fresh eating and have been described as having a delicious honey-like taste. This variety produces an extremely heavy crop with large bunches of medium-sized fruits that mature to a golden yellow color and have a sweet flavor.

Concord
Red, Heritage (Native) Sep 21 – Oct 15 $69.95
Concord grapes are highly aromatic, tangy, and sweet with a unique musky flavor. When consumed as table grapes, they are often considered tart. Their intense flavor pairs well with rich, creamy desserts such as pies, cheesecake, or pannacotta, and, of course, peanut butter. Other complementary flavors include nuts (almond, pistachio, hazelnut, walnut, peanut), fruits (lemon, strawberry, raspberry), herbs (endive, arugula, fennel, rosemary, mint), dairy products (yogurt, sour cream, crème fraiche, goat cheese, blue cheese), and meats (pork, duck, and poultry).

Rougeon
Red, Regional (Hybrid) Sep 21 – Sep 24 $84.95
Varietal Rougeon wines are usually dry, with excellent color and medium body. However, there are also sweet Rougeon wines that can also inherit the beautiful color and medium body, though of course, these tend to be mixed with other sweet grapes. The fruit creates “soft” wines that tend to exhibit dark berry fruit characteristics. Wines created with Rougeon grapes pair well with chicken mole (if a dry wine), pasta with tomato and basil (if a dry wine), and chocolate cake (if a sweet wine).

Aromella
Regional (Hybrid), White Sep 28 – Oct 1 $115.95
Aromella grapes are used to produce a white wine that is similar to the Italian Moscato wine. Full of peach and other tropical fruit aromas, Aromella grapes produce a flavor that is consistently described as aromatic, exhibiting notes of pineapple, honeysuckle, citrus peel, and floral.

Cayuga White
White, Regional (Hybrid) Sep 28 – Oct 1 $89.95
Picked at the proper time, Cayuga White grapes can produce a very nice sparkling wine with good acid balance, structure, and pleasant aromas, or a fruity white wine similar to a Riesling or Viognier. In general, most wines made from Cayuga White grapes are fruity with aromas resembling apples, citrus, and tropical fruit. They tend to age well and are an easy grapy to work with, producing wines with excellent character and a rich mouth-feel. Its wine has been highly rated, having a medium body, and good balance.
One advantage of Cayuga White grapes are that, even if harvested before they’re ripe, they still make good wine, albeit with more green apple flavors. When over-ripe, however, these wines can develop strong hybrid aromas with slight foxy overtones.

Grüner Veltliner
White, Classic (Vinifera) Sep 28 – Oct 1 $165.95
Grüner Veltliner grapes give off flavors of green pepper and lime, often being considered an exotic alternative to Sauvignon Blanc.

It’s said that the tart taste is on par with acidic flavors found in almonds, honey, or liqueur.

They’ve even been described as having complex flavors of black and red cherries with a bit of a musty nose. The grapes are very balanced in acidity and have a uniquely tart finish that makes them perfect for wine or juice. Wines created from DeChaunac grapes tend to pair well with deep-dish pizza, lamb shanks braised with tomato and garlic, and stir-fried beef and vegetables.

Chardonnay
White, Classic (Vinifera) Oct 5 – Oct 8 $169.95
Chardonnay grapes can taste different, depending on where they are grown and the process used to make them into wine. Wines made from Chardonnay can be crisp and clean, or rich and oaky, and are typically dry, medium to full-bodied, with moderate acidity and alcohol. Most Chardonnay wines have an appealing fruity fragrance that often resembles pear, fig, apple, papaya, pineapple, or melon.
Secondary Chardonnay wine flavors/notes can also develop throughout the winemaking process. The first set of flavors include coconut, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg, which stem from the use of oak for aging. Factors that affect the secondary flavors and their intensity include the origin of the wood (French, American, etc.), the shape of the wood (barrels, chips, or staves), toast level, and length of time in contact with the oak. When aged with the use of a secondary malo-lactic fermentation, wines can take on classic “buttery” notes experts often describe.

Chancellor
Red, Regional (Hybrid) Oct 5 – Oct 8 $85.95
Wines crafted from Chancellor grapes typically have full-bodied European character with notes of plum and apple. On the nose, wines made from these grapes give off fairly intense aromas of dried blueberries, raisins, cedar, plum, and dried figs. At their best, Chancellor wines create a spicy, slightly tangy red that is meant for early consumption with hearty dishes such as pepper steak or stews. The grapes and the wines they produce are often of medium acidity.

Noiret ®
Red, Regional (Hybrid) Oct 5 – Oct 8 $85.95
Noiret wines are usually quite herbaceous and fruit-driven with soft tannins. The distinctive red wine is vibrantly colored and has notes of green and black pepper along with raspberry, blackberry, and some mint aromas. In this way, Noiret wines can resemble Shiraz (Syrah grapes). What’s more, Noiret grapes are notably free of hybrid aromas typical of other red grape varieties. A major distinguishing characteristic of this selection is the fine tannin structure that is complete from the front of the mouth to the back. The tannin structure and the absence of any hybrid aromas strongly distinguish this selection from other red hybrid grapes. Wines made from Noiret grapes pair well with steak with peppercorn sauce, spicy jambalaya, and beef rendang.
