GROS MANSENG – PETIT MANSENG Are these the same ? Neil

No.

The books say they are related but doen't give details. Different clones??

The Gros/Petite refers to grape berry sizes.

To my surprise I found Petite Manseng is commonly grown in Virginia.

I like how Wikipedia calls them "variations". That's a fairly vague term

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manseng

Variation is meaningless in this context. Still, it's wikipedia, not an authoratative source

What?? Wikipedia is not the ultimate center of the universe??

I disbelieve

Look at all the college students who submit papers solely relying on Wikipedia!
