Abstract:
Commercial production of wine
grapes commenced in the mid-1800's
along the southern shore of Lake Erie.
Principal wine cultivars at that time
were 'Delaware' and 'Catawba', a situation
which still exists today.
Strong
interest in other wine cultivars occurred
as efforts to change the wine
law in Pennsylvania were successful,
and stronger interest in Europeantype
wines became evident.
These
facts necessitated investigation as to
whether or not cultivars other than
'Delaware' and 'Catawba' could be
grown successfully along Pennsylvania's
primary grape belt.
Therefore,
vines of the 'DeChaunac' cultivar
were planted in 1967 to determine
whether or not this cultivar could be
grown commercially in this area.
