Vidal ice wines have pretty well broken through the barrier between hybrids and vinifera. Traminette, though not my favorite, seems pretty widely made too, but I agree, probably not as popular as Cayuga.

You'll find it in all kinds of blends and tasting room staff are proud to let you know that it's a Cornell grape. I would also argue that it makes the most widely acceptable varietal wines.

That's a bold statement in a land of many hybrids. Are you saying it's important because its a workhorse for many varietal wines and blends -- or because of the rumors that it tops off so many middle-of-the-road rieslings?
