Question: What place in america was occupied by Norse Vikings and is known for grape vines?

full_context: Document 1: Black Spanish (grape): Black Spanish is now known to be a seedling of an American hybrid grape resulting from a cross of the American "Vitis aestivalis" species of grape with an unknown "Vitis vinifera" pollen donor. This hybridization is not known to have been purposeful, and may have occurred naturally, as was the case with many of the early American grape cultivars. Recently, it was revealed from the microsatellite DNA (a.k.a. Simple Sequence Repeats or SSRs) analyses conducted on various 'Jacquez cultivars' by Dr Jerry Rodrigues that at least two of the European accessions (grapevine collections) which are presently curated in Europe were originally derived from the oldest known Jacquez cultivar (the Madeira Jacquez). The original American hybrid grape parent had found its way to the Madeira Islands early in the 18th century (where it was called Jaquez or Jacquet) and thence to France. Lenoir is another such seedling similar to Black Spanish which was propagated by Herbemont. Many other historical names appeared on the scene throughout the early history of these Jacquez seedlings such as Jack, Blue French, Ohio, and El Paso, among others. For example, Herbemont tells us that he received Lenoir seeds from a man named Lenoir who cultivated it near Stateburg SC, in the vicinity of the Santee River sometime in the 18th Century. Lenoir made its way to Texas early, where it even took on the names El Paso and Black Spanish. From its wild South Carolina parent, Lenoir (and also Black Spanish) carries natural resistance to the Phylloxera pest, as well as to the deadly Pierce's Disease, which is a common threat to "Vitis vinifera" vineyards in warm winter areas of the United States. Lenoir was also one of the American vines which the grape breeder Thomas Volney Munson experimented with in the late 19th Century in Denison, Texas. Prior to its use by Munson, Lenoir was grown and used in wine by Nicholas Herbemont of Columbia, South Carolina in the 1830s, though to a lesser extent than the similar, lighter-skinned variety "Warren" ("Brown French") which become known as Herbemont because of his promotion of that variety. Lenoir was introduced to Europe in the mid-19th Century, where French vintners were intrigued by its similarity to European "Vitis vinifera" winegrapes, and gave it the names Jacquez and Jacquet. It became an important direct producing grape in Europe during the phylloxera crisis, and later was used to some extent as a rootstock to protect the classic vinifera grapes from phylloxera. Ulysses P. Hedrick's famous "Grapes of New York" in 1908 provides the seminal discussion of Lenoir and many of the early North American grapes.
Document 2: History of American wine: The History of American wine began when the first Europeans explored parts of North America, which they called Vinland because of the profusion of grape vines found there. However, settlers would later discover that the wine made from the various native grapes, had flavors which were unfamiliar and which they did not like. This led to repeated efforts to grow familiar "Vitis vinifera" varieties. The first vines of "Vitis vinifera" origin were planted in Senecu in 1629, which is near the present day town of San Antonio, New Mexico.
Document 3: Muscat of Alexandria: Muscat of Alexandria is a white wine grape that is a member of the Muscat family of "Vitis vinifera". It is considered an "ancient vine", and wine experts believe it is one of the oldest genetically unmodified vines still in existence. While today it is mostly cultivated as a table grape or for raisin production, it is still an important grape in the Australian and South African wine industry. It is also cultivated very heavily on the islands of Samos, and Lemnos in the North Eastern Aegean region of Greece, and reputedly Cleopatra drank muscat wine from there. It is also thought to rival the French "Beaume de Venise" in its most refined form. In Italy wine is made from the grape on the island of Pantelleria, and in Spain, the grape is used for wine around Málaga, Alicante, Valencia, and the Canary Islands. The grape originated in North Africa, and the name is probably derived from its association with Ancient Egyptians who used the grape for wine making. It is also a table grape used for eating and raisins.
Document 4: Prayer of Columbus: "Prayer of Columbus" is a poem written by American poet Walt Whitman. The poem evokes the enterprising spirit of the Christopher Columbus in a God-fearing light, who rediscovered the North American continent in 1492, leading to the colonization of the Americas by the emerging European powers. Although the Viking Leif Ericson has generally been credited as having discovered the North American continent roughly 500 years earlier, Columbus' rediscovery has had a more lasting impact on the colonization trends that continued until around the onset of World War I. Thus, Whitman's poem serves as a fitting tribute to the proper explorer.
Document 5: Vinland: Vinland, Vineland or Winland (Old Norse: "Vínland" ) is the area of coastal North America explored by Norse Vikings, where Leif Erikson first landed in c. 1000, approximately five centuries prior to the voyages of Christopher Columbus and John Cabot. "Vinland" was the name given to North America as far as it was explored by the Vikings, presumably including both Newfoundland and the Gulf of Saint Lawrence as far as northeastern New Brunswick (where the eponymous grapevines are found).
Document 6: New France: New France (French: "Nouvelle-France" ) was the area colonized by France in North America during a period beginning with the exploration of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence by Jacques Cartier in 1534 and ending with the cession of New France to Great Britain and Spain in 1763.
Document 7: Vitis labrusca: Vitis labrusca, the fox grape, is a species of grapevines belonging to the "Vitis" genus in the flowering plant family Vitaceae. The vines are native to eastern North America and are the source of many grape cultivars, including Catawba, Concord, Delaware, Isabella, Niagara, and many hybrid grape varieties such as Agawam, Alexander and Onaka. Among the characteristics of this vine species in contrast to the European wine grape "Vitis vinifera" are its "slip-skin" that allows the skin of the grape berries to easily slip off when squeezed, instead of crushing the pulp, and the presence of tendrils on every node of the cane. Another contrast with European "vinifera" is the characteristic "foxy" musk of "V. labrusca", best known to most people through the Concord grape. This musk is not related to the mammalian fox, but rather to the strong, earthy aromas characteristic of the grapes that were known by early American settlers in the New World. The term "foxy" became a sort of catchall for the wine tasting descriptors used for these American wines that were distinct from the familiar flavors of the European viniferous wines.
Document 8: Thorvald Asvaldsson: Thorvald Asvaldsson (Old Norse: "Þórvaldr Ásvaldsson" ) was the father of the colonizer of Greenland, Erik the Red, and grandfather of Leif Ericson, who visited North America centuries before Christopher Columbus. Thorvald's father was Ásvald Ulfsson, whose father was Ulf Oxen-Thorisson, whose father was Oxen-Thorir, brother of Naddodd, discoverer of Iceland.
Document 9: Vinagro: “Goygol Wine Plant” is an Azerbaijani winery with history of 150 years. Established in 1860, the Plant was built by German refugees – Shwabs, who founded Yelenendorf Settlement by settling down an area in Elizabethpol province, in Goygol Region. In 1862 there was established «Brothers Forrer» Joint-Stock company that was directed by sons Ch. Forrer – Gottlob, Friedrich, Heinrich and Christofor. At the same time there was established «Trade house of Brothers Hummel» joint-stock company that was directed by Ch. Hummel sons – Jacob, Albert, George and Gottlieb. Board of the both families was located in Elenendorf, offices and representation were in Ganja, Tbilisi, Baku, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kiev, Odessa, Tomsk, Batumi. The Yelenendorf Wines manufactured by the winery distilleries established by Christopher Forer and Christian Gummel were being exported to Germany and Netherland. On August 8, 1922 there was established cooperative «Concordia» in base of wine factory that became the largest producer of wine, cognac and vodka in Transcaucasus. The company was producing "Kagor", "Old Port", "White table wine", "Red table wine", "Xeres wines", "Garangush", "Extra" cognacs, liqueurs and champagnes. For example during 1924-1925 branches of cooperative «Concordia» registered 1350397 buckets of wine.
Document 10: Former colonies and territories in Canada: A number of states and polities formerly claimed colonies and territories in Canada prior to the evolution of the current provinces and territories under the federal system. North America prior to colonization was occupied by a variety of Aboriginal polities of different complextions, from small independent band societies typical of the sparsely populated North, to loose confederacies made up of numerous hunting bands from a variety of ethnic groups (Plains region), to more structured confederacies of sedentary farming villages (Great Lakes region), to stratified hereditary structures centred on a fishing economy (Plateau and Pacific Coast regions). The colonization of Canada by Europeans began in the 10th century, when Norsemen explored and, ultimately unsuccessfully, attempted to settle areas of the northeastern fringes of North America. Early permanent European settlements in what is now Canada included the late 16th and 17th century French colonies of Acadia and Canada (New France), the English colonies of Newfoundland (island) and Rupert's Land, the Scottish colonies of Nova Scotia and Port Royal.
Document 11: Sena wine: Seña wine was established as a collaborative venture in Chile between Viña Errázuriz and Robert Mondavi . Since 2005 Seña is owned 100% by the Chadwick family, proprietors of Errázuriz, and is the personal project of Eduardo Chadwick. Eduardo's ambition is to create a Chilean icon wine, one which fully expresses the terroir (wine identity linked to local soil, aspect and climate) of the Aconcagua Valley north of Santiago. The inaugural vintage of Seña, which is Spanish for distinguishing mark or personal signature, was that of 1995. The wine is made from a blend of six of the classic red grape varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carmenère, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. The grapes for Seña are sourced from Seña Hillside vineyards within the Aconcagua Valley, in which vines are grown according to bio-dynamic principles. The wine is currently produced at Errázuriz's Don Maximiano Estate winery in the Aconcagua Valley.
Document 12: Old vine: Old vine (French: "vieilles vignes" , German: "alte Reben" ), a common description on wine labels, indicates that a wine is the product of grape vines that are notably old. There is a general belief that older vines, when properly handled, will give a better wine. There is no legal or generally agreed definition for "old".
Document 13: Médée Bay: Médée Bay is a natural bay off the island of Newfoundland in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It faces the modern village and archeological site of L'Anse aux Meadows, whose original name "Anse à la Médée" ("The Médée's Cove") was first recorded on a 1862 French nautical chart and came from a ship named after the Greek mythological figure of Medea.
Document 14: Vikings: Vikings (Old English: "wicing"—"pirate", Danish and Bokmål: "vikinger" ; Swedish and Nynorsk: "vikingar" ; Icelandic: "víkingar" , from Old Norse "víkingar "), were Norse seafarers, mainly speaking the Old Norse language, who raided and traded from their Northern European homelands across wide areas of northern, central and eastern Europe, during the late 8th to late 11th centuries. The term is also commonly extended in modern English and other vernaculars to the inhabitants of Viking home communities during what has become known as the Viking Age. This period of Nordic military, mercantile and demographic expansion constitutes an important element in the early medieval history of Scandinavia, Estonia, the British Isles, France, Kievan Rus' and Sicily.
Document 15: Rhode Island wine: Rhode Island wine refers to wine made from grapes grown in the U.S. state of Rhode Island. Viticulture in Rhode Island began in 1663 when King Charles II of England included wine production among the land uses approved in the royal charter establishing Rhode Island as an English colony. The modern wine industry of Rhode Island began in 1975 when Sakonnet Vineyards was established near Little Compton. Located near the Atlantic Ocean, Rhode Island has one of the most moderate climates of the U.S. northeast.
