Cayuga
Cayuga is a French-American hybrid that was originally hybridized by Cornell University specifically for growing in the Finger Lakes region. This variety thrives in colder climates and produces large and plentiful grapes. Cayuga is used in many blends around the Finger Lakes, but makes a fine varietal on it's own. It makes a great sipping wine and can be served with lighter fair, hors d'oeuvres and appetizers. Cayuga varietal wines are typically a little sweeter and are wonderful entry level wines for new wine consumers. Cayuga wines are also usually very reasonably priced.

Vignoles
Vignoles, also known as Ravat, Ravat Blanc or Ravat 51, is a French-American hybrid between Pinto Noir and a Seibel hybrid. This variety typically yields small, compact clusters and may acquire botrytis also known as noble rot- a mold praised in producing delicious late harvest and ice wines. This sweet wine is a perfect match for desserts and has a complex, apricot flavor as well as a glimmer of honey.
