TN grapes

Does anyone have any suggestions for disease resistant grapes for TN? I am hoping to get a few vines that are table, jelly, and juice grapes and can be grown without a lot of spraying for diseases (they don't have to be seedless). I was thinking about possibly sunbelt, Catawba, or norton. Has anyone had experience with these or any others?

I found some helpful suggestions here but it doesn't say if they are disease resistant and that is very important to me:

Thank you for the suggested documents. Apparently all of the varieites I was interested in (Niagara, Concord, Catawba, etc) are black rot prone. That is discouraging since they are all listed as good options for TN in the extension I listed. Now I'm not really sure what to pick. Does anyone have any suggestions what has done well for them?
