Too rich for my blood...

Doesn't ripen until September. So what good is the later fruit? Not much unless it stays hot all winter.

But a continuous-fruiting grape would be nice for a yard with kids.

If it's a new variety, shouldn't there at least be patent info?

$100 would be a fair value if it lived up to the marketing claims (no spray, multi-harvest, excellent quality, etc).

I've got grapes now that I can harvest from July thru November, Flame, Summer Royal, Princess, and Crimson. I've held Crimson into February. So where's the advantage of this grape? I don't see it and the eating quality is probably inferior.

But I might try it at a reasonable price of say $20. I bet they'll have a sale in the spring. How many people will pay $98?

Try Nesbitt, tastes identical to a concord.

Now I'd pay $99 for a Red Flame vine that could survive subzero here in N IL.

There is one selection informally released intentionally because it had far less of the muscadine fragrance, so that southern winemakers could make a more-typical grape wine: "Golden Isles"

I have sought high and low, and still unsuccessfully, for a mail-order source.

gonebananas, I agree. My wife was raised in Georgia and she (and all of her family) love them. I had never heard of them until I started going to Georgia. I don't like the smell either. Smells just like motor oil to me.

I never heard of "Nesbitt" as being less muscadine-like and will have to look into it too.

I personally love muscadines in all its food forms (from fresh off the vine to hull pie and wine) but one of the most memorable was a fragrant sweet syrup for pancakes or waffles. I similarly like the fragrant syrup from tropical passionfruit (lilicoi).

Anything new can have a big price, but sooner or later, cuttings will abound, and it can be had for cheap!

They aren't that easy to find in the grocery store- I've only encountered them twice (a bronze variety last year and a black one this year). I'd really love to find grapes with the huge size, taste, and sugar level (17% on the black ones this year) without the seeds. The texture wasn't a problem for me.
