'Mars' – Mars is a blue, seedless table grape with labrusca flavor similar to Concord grapes. Compact clusters of mid-sized berries are ready to harvest mid-season or sometime in late August. It's a slipskin, which means the outer skin is easy to remove from the pulp. It is highly disease resistant, but may require a certain amount of spraying. Very vigorous.

'Sunbelt' - This is a selection of Concord that is recommended for warm climate gardens because of its ability to ripen evenly in hot weather. Plus it is highly resistant to fungal diseases such as powdery mildew and downy mildew and mildly resistant to black rot and anthracnose. Large, blue, seeded berries in small clusters are ready for harvest mid-season.

'Reliance' – 'Reliance' is a pink, seedless table grape with medium to small berries in medium to large clusters. It is very hardy with moderate resistance to fungal diseases. Very flavorful. It's an early to mid season variety so it might work in areas where summers are short.
