Food and Drink Grape varieties

**cdcox** · 09-09-2019, 05:20 PM

I have been eating Muscadine grapes the past week.First time in my life I have tried them. They are very different than most other grape varieties and a bit of an acquired taste. They have a thick, leathery, sour and tannic skin that I peel with my teeth and chew--it comes off quite easily. The pulp is the prize, but first you have to fish out a few large seeds. The pulp is juicy, slightly sweet, and phenolic. Very interesting, like an Islay scotch. Anyone else tried/like them?

What grape varieties are you enjoying this summer?

These are the ones we grow...

I quite like the Niagras and the Concord Seedless (smells like concentrated grape juice).

When the heck were those invented? I'd never had them or heard of them, and I accidentally bought some at the store the other day. I don't like them at all, and I had no idea that white grapes came in "flavors".

If you get Passion Fire grapes in your area, they are a good option for a sweet-tasting seedless table grape. No cotton candy weirdness.

My great grandmother used to grow some kind of small red grape with seeds, it was the most grapey flavored grape I've ever had, the gold standard for my taste. I've never been able to find anything like it. She is long gone, and the house is sold, I'm sure they've ripped out the vines by now. Jeez what I would give tontry one of those again...

First time I saw then was at Sam's club about 8 years ago. There are good batches and not so good batches from what I can tell.
