Be sure you get white grapes as red or purple ones will stain the 
walkway and the carpet when they get tracked into your house (which 
of course is inevitable).

Also take a look at http://www.hevanet.com/lonrom/varieties.html, the 
website run by Lon Rombough who is a grape expert.  His email and 
phone are on the site as well.
