According to the very long list of grape varieties in Sunset's Western Garden Book, the following cultivars will succeed in Sunset Zone 24:

American and American Hybrid Varieties:

Black Spanish (Lenoir)
Champanel
GoldenMuscat

European Varieties:

Black Monukka
Delight
Early Muscat
Flame
Perlette
Ruby Seedless (King's Ruby)

The Sunset pages also advise on pruning habit and best use of the cultivar: fresh eating, raisins, and/or wine.

I hope some of these succeed for you. :D
