High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Isabella grape is a cultivar derived from the grape species Vitis labrusca or fox grape which is used for table, juice and wine production. The skin of Isabella when ripened is a dark purple, almost black with a tender greenyellow flesh. It has large well formed fruit clusters with thick bloom. It is a slip skin variety, meaning that the skin separates easily from the fruit. The grapes are used to make wine, most notably Uhudler and Fragolino. The Isabella being of the genus Vitis x Labruscana imparts a foxiness to the wine and because of this is thought to be objectionable,therefore it is not seen as a grape capable of making fine wines. For the table the flavour is good though with the astringent tough skin and foxy aroma is objectionable for some tastes.

Concord grapes are a cultivar derived from the grape species Vitis labrusca which are used as table grapes, wine grapes and juice grapes. The skin of a Concord grape is typically dark blue or purple, and often is covered with a lighter colored bloom which can be rubbed off. It is a slipskin variety, meaning that the skin is easily separated from the fruit. Concord grapes have large seeds and are highly aromatic. They are often used to make grape jelly, grape juice, grapeflavored soft drinks, and candy. The grape is sometimes used to make wine, particularly kosher wine, though it is not generally favored for that purpose due to the strong foxy flavor. Traditionally, most commercially produced Concord wines have been finished sweet, but dry versions are possible if adequate fruit ripeness is achieved.

John Hollanders Blue Wine and Other Poems, his first collection of verse since the appearance of his new and selected poems, Spectral Emanations, shows one of our best poetic craftsmen in America moving into a new phase in his distinguished career.Poems on painting and sculpture, in which Hollander examines the static/dynamic interaction of life and art, are balanced against a graceful lyric cycle, which is itself a commentary on the meaning of art songs. The longer poems in this volume Blue Wine, Monuments, The Train, and Just for the Ride move beyond Hollanders unique blend of meditative elegance, closely observed detail, and learned wit. They explore even further the realms of mythological vision beyond the boundaries of easy irony.Of the title poem, Blue Wine, Hollander writes, I visited Saul Steinberg one afternoon and found that he had pasted some mock (or rather, visionary) wine labels on bottles, which were then filled with a substance I could not identify. This poem is an attempt to make sense out of what was apparently in them.
