Any perfect flowered grape that blooms at the same time will work. LaCrosse & Swenson Red are suggested because they are similar to St. Pepin in hardiness, ripening time and can be blended with St. Pepin in winemaking.

2) Curious what people have used for pollinators for St. Pepin. Any web site that mentions specific pollinators will mention Lacrosse or Swenson Red, in that order of frequency. Has anyone else used different grape varieties for pollination?
