May I please have your ideas for best white hybrid winegrapes for the Pacific
Northwest? (Portland, Oregon). I want to minimize the heavy spraying required
for vinifera.



Requirements: High disease resistance; early to mid-season ripening; decent
yields; good wine potential.



Grapes on my list to consider (but what am I missing?): Cayuga, Seyval Blanc,
Traminette, Vignoles, Vidal blanc.



Thanks for any comments on those, and any other white hybrid winegrapes that are
your favorites for wine. Some of these grapes are intended for places much
colder than here, so I'm not sure how they'd perform here.



My favorite vinifera white wine flavors: Riesling, Viognier, S. blanc, Gewurz.
NOT Chardonnay.



Thank you,
