This is Cordifolia just 20 feet down the fence from "Plainview". Both are holding fruit on November 4, 2012. Note the heart shaped leaf, smooth cane and lack of bloom. Yes, the cordifolia is sweet and palatable. Tastes sort of like a sweet picked salad pepper. Not bad.
The frosted look on some grapes is called bloom. Bloom is the powdery, waxy substance that is often found on the surface of grapes. While this substance may contain the spores of wild yeast, it is not necessary composed of yeast cells. As you can see below, there isn't much bloom.
