Variety Notes More Info	Geneva White 5 (GW 5)- is a progeny of 'Pinot blanc' x 'Ontario'. It has not been named by Cornell University. They claim there are too many other varieties of this same style. We propagated this variety many years ago from Karl Bailey's Vineyard in Troy, Michigan. Karl was innovative in planting new varieties. Another un-named variety we received from Karl was "Vesta" (his name for it). There is some of it planted in a generic white row we call "White Wine".
