314 Grape Varieties in a Day
May 11, 2010
It’s amazing that we nearly doubled last year’s formidable number of grapes. It’s high time to sit back, take a much needed rest and wallow in the glory that is us.
Here’s the summary in alphabetical order. I’ve pruned as many synonyms out as possible but there may be a few remaining. Some of the varieties listed are probably clones instead of distinct varieties, especially from the 152 grape wine, and will require a closer look. Even so, I think we’ve easily jogged past the 300 grape marker.

I was unable to post online but I was happy to see that the grapes we tastes that day–Refosco and Vermentino–made the list.
Great effort team, but maybe someone tasted Chasselas, not Chessalas.
