Bill,

Is your NY73 the NY73.0136.17 now named Noiret? If so, I just planted some.
They're doing the best of what I planted. How do you like them and how is
the wine. I saw some info that it had done well in tastings but also heard
lately that commercial growers weren't particularly happy. Any thoughts
would be appreciated.

Dick
