Lon,
I've heard some good things about Jupiter..
While it may not be "highly" disease resistant, is it reasonably easy to grow in
areas where it's not a desert (i.e. Midwest)? I've heard glowing reviews
about the taste.

At present there aren't any highly disease resistant seedless,
so if you want a grape that won't need disease control, expect seeds. The
seedless with relatively good resistance for a seedless grape is Mars, but it
still needs as much disease control as Concord.
You might consider some of
the varieties of T.V. Munson, such as America, Carman, Bailey, Champanel, and
a number of others. To read about Munson's work try "Foundations of American
Grape Culture". It can be read online at:

No,
actually I chose it from Burnt Ridge just going by the description and wanting
a dark grape for fresh eating. They didn't warn me but I guess they
assume I knew what I was doing. So how would a person know if any
variety was suited for SE USA? (not the deep south like the gulf coast).
What should I look for if this one does poorly?
Thanks,
Ron

No denying that Black Monukka
makes good raisins. It just isn't suited for the eastern U.S. Heck, I have
the variety myself and even here in Oregon it's chancy because it will crack
and spoil if there's rain at ripening time.

If you manage a
successful crop in spite of what Lon says about it, I've tasted Monukka
raisins and they're better than raisins made from Thompson Seedless, in my
opinion.
