Grapes have secondary and tertiary buds.  The vines will push these and start growing again.  The secondary buds have a smaller crop than the primaries, but there should be fruit.  If they get hit, the tertiary buds start to grow.

Speaking of this, I have a quick grape question.
I put in grapes this year, (I put them in while they were dormant)  but 
we had beautiful weather for 4 weeks or so and a ton of rain.  Last 
night we had a frost, dropped to 29 degrees for about 2 hours.  Of 
course the leaves got bit and today they look all wilty (technical term) 
and dead.  Will these things leave out again or are they done for the 
year.  What am I looking at here?
