I think you are correct, Bob. Growing vinifera in the East is a challange. I believe I have read that Sulphur and Copper sprays are approved for "Organic" grown grapes. In other words, one may be surprised at what qualifies for "Organic Grown".

In California where black rot and Downey Mildew are non-existant, you
might be able to get away with it but growing organically in the
tropical rain forest conditions of the east is another thing. I would
bet most of the organic wines are not vinifera if grown in the east.
