Assmanshausen - ferments slowly, somewhat spicy, needs added tannins for red wines.
Beaujolais - strong fermentation, fruity taste for red wine especially nice for berries. 
California Champagne UCD 505 - settles out easily in clumps, makes racking easy for honey wines, for honey wines or white wines made with aromatic fruits. 
Chanson- Medium fermentation rate, produces fewer sulfites than most, needs sufficient nutrients or it sticks, settles out well, nice for fruity wines, especially apples.
