Excerpt from The Horticulturist and Journal of Rural Art and Rural Taste, Vol. 16: Devoted to Horticulture, Landscape Gardening, Rural Architecture, Botany, Pomology, Entomology, Rural Economy, Etc., January to December, 1861 You request my Opinion as to the best native grape for the production of wine. In expressing my views on the subject, it must be understood that my remarks are confined to this section of country bordering upon the Ohio River, and confined to a limited number of varieties, and some of the most promis ing of these have as yet been subjected to a limited trial only for wine. Within the last twenty years I have had under cultivation and trial not less than thirty varieties of American grapes, and for vineyard culture and to furnish wine for the million, I think it will be a long time before we find a grape in all respects better adapted to the purpose than the Catawba. When properly cultivated and well ripened it makes a good dry wine, superior to the generality of Rhine wines, and a sparkling wine comparing favorably with the champagnes of France.
