Varietal Definition
Lambrusco:
Famous for the 'frizzante', semi sweet wines found in 1 litre screw cap bottles, this grape originates near Modena in the Emilia-Romagna region of Central Italy. Much maligned by 'serious' wine drinkers, it produces a fresh, semi sweet, fruit driven wine usually low in alcohol and quite inexpensive. Very popular in the United States.

Concord:
This native American grape varietal (of the genus vitis labrusca) is used in making old- fashioned, "rustic" country-style red wines, often displaying what most people think of as a "grape jelly aroma." In fact, the Concord is widely used in the production of jellies and jams. This East Coast varietal produces wines that have been variously described as foxy, meaning they have a unique aroma/flavor profile variously described as wild and musky. Mogen David is perhaps the quintessential Concord wine.
