The muscadines and grapes were purchased at a local nursery that assured us that the plants were grafted with rootstock that is resistant to Pierces Disease. I'm not sure about the nursery of origin though. They seem to be bringing in a lot of plants from California this year.

The resistant grapevine was purchased as a cluster of grapes at the grocer. )I have the habit of sticking any old seed in the ground to see what I'll get)
This is kind of strange since I have a couple wild grape vines growing on my property that appear to be unaffected by Pierces Disease.

You’re saying a seed from a grocery store grape? I hadn’t thought of that as I figured they needed all sorts of grafting and whatever to get started. I’ve been wanting table grapes but hadn’t seen them at the local nursery until the last few years. I almost bought some the other day. We have wild mustangs which hubby’s been trying to kill out for some reason. I had thought if table grapes were planted in place of the mustangs, he’d leave them alone (famous last words).

The neighbor was happy to accept the fig I bought but didn’t really have room for. We can share and I’ll make the preserves so all’s good.

It happens like that sometimes. In the quest for flavor, other qualities get lost. See if you can graft onto those wild vines, they might confer their resistance to the grafted variety.
