Alexander (also known as Tasker’s Grape) is a spontaneous cross of vines from which the first commercial wines in America were made. It was discovered in 1740 in the neighborhood of Springgettsbury Philadelphia in a vineyard where James Alexander (d. 1778) William Penn’s gardener had originally planted cuttings of Vitis vinifera in 1683.
