Commercial production of wine grapes commenced in the mid-1800's along the southern shore of Lake Erie. Principal wine cultivars at that time were 'Delaware' and 'Catawba', a situation which still exists today. Strong interest in other wine cultivars occurred as efforts to change the wine law in Pennsylvania were successful, and stronger interest in European-type wines became evident. These facts necessitated investigation as to whether or not cultivars other than 'Delaware' and 'Catawba' could be grown successfully along Pennsylvania's primary grape belt. Therefore, vines of the 'DeChaunac' cultivar were planted in 1967 to determine whether or not this cultivar could be grown commercially in this area.
