Open discussion: goals

I've been working up a list of 'breeding goals'.  Here is what is come to mind as 'North Texas October Grape Project goals':

1. Suitable for growing organically (as defined by one of several groups) here in North Texas
2. Avoids or tolerates late spring frosts
3. Ripens in October when refrigeration isn't necessary for creating a decent wine.
4. Makes a delightful and uniquely North Texas wine.  A vine that allows fruit to hang until a North Texas fall frost won't ripen many other places.  That makes it a 'uniquely North Texas' grape, and the wine it produces will be uniquely North Texas.

I was tempted to add 'likes high pH soils' and 'likes salty well water', but these issues can be addressed by grafting.

The organic goal may be a bit too hardcore, but it makes clear our interest in vines that stay healthy on their own here in North Texas.
