I've never tried the Clinton Seyval Blanc but it's definitely one grape that really works very well in cooler climates. The Breaky Bottom Seyval Blanc here in the UK is pretty good. Hi Arnie,

The reference to a 'local' in England betrays an ignorance, or a regional bias. When I spent a summer in southern England I (Kent and Canterbury) I visited a number of vineyards, and bought some local wines. As in NYState the English produce a SEYVAL BLANC, a 'French Hybrid. As in NYS this hybrid grape does well in a cooler, shorter growing season. I didn't like the English SY Bl, too tart as are many in the states.. However, the outstanding Seyval Blanc is produced by CLINTON VINEYARDS in the Hudson Valley 70 miles north of NYC.It closely resembles a French Sancerre.I did a 15 year vertical and their were no 'bad' years. I prefer to hold it for a few years. Clinton makes a great 'Champagne", bright, tasty, out of this grape. It is made in the traditional methode champenoise. Linden in Va, an excelleny winery, makes a 'nice Seyval Bl, but is a shadow next to Clinton. By the way, Va has some top notch wineries, notably Pearmund, within easy driving distance wet of DC.
