Thanks Dean
One of my first thoughts on tasting this grape was that - if I could offer 
it locally - it could actually get die-hard eaters of bland supermarket 
seedless grapes - to switch.

>Hi Del,

>I agree, Lorelei (ES 5-4-29) is a wonderful tasting grape.  Elmer

>other high quality grapes such as Summersweet, ES 5-4-16, and ES
>5-3-89.  Lorelei may be a challenge for it to survive zone 2 or 3,
