[KAHN-kord] Native American variety that is widely grown in the eastern states, particularly in New York, and in Michigan and Washington. Ephraim Bull first planted these native grape seeds in 1843 in his garden in Concord, Massachusetts-hence the name. The vine's beautiful blue-black grapes often appear to have been powdered with silver. They're most often used for jams, jellies, and unfermented juice and as table grapes. Concord wines aren't well regarded by most wine lovers because of their foxy characteristics, which are often associated with members of this vitis labrusca species.
