Default Name that grape ( ? )

I have a grape vine and do not know what type it is. A potted
plant was given to me 5 years ago. It thrived and does well here
in Sandhills section of North Carolina. The vine bears white grapes
( green up until ripening at which time it takes on a golden blush ).
At this time (18 May 08 ) it is slam loaded with clusters of 1/4 inch
sized grapes. They ripen early, some time between late July into
early August. They ripen medium size grapes - very sweet. The
vines is very prolific, and the year before last produced a nice
fruity wine. Last year it got hit by severe frost when the new
growth was forming ( 3 - 4 inch long ) and I thought it would die,
but it did recouperate as soon as things warmed up

Not sure what else to say. If my scanner was working I'd scan a
leaf for upload. I do not have a digital camera so that is out.
Anybody have any ideas ? The fellow who gave me the plant has
no idea what variety.

TIA
