The Niagara grape has a very unique flavor. As you might expect it tastes just like the wine. There was once even a carbonated soft drink that used it called Pommac. It was like champagne soda.

The area of Niagara however is HORRIBLY polluted. I was one of the very few civilians to tour their hazardous waste site that drains into the Niagara falls basin via ground water. Love canal is open again for habitation thanks to changing the numbers that define "hazardous".

One has to go a ~ hundred miles south and 50 miles east to get unpolluted Niagara grapes. The Erie shore used to be prime but near Aor Valley they put in what is called a Demonstration Project that is a fancy name for nuclear radiation land fill. The radiation demonstrated it was able to flow all the way to Lake Erie.
