This Is the first time that the wine of this
grape has been introduced In SO public man-
ncr, and no little interest was manifested on
the subject. The wine was new and rather
acid to our taste not equal to Catawba,

age will make it d good wine, No was
decided best, and No. next, By close vote.
In fact, the samples are almost identical.
