At the below website it is stated that Bluebell is not great until 4th
year. It is also described as a table grape. My question: Is this
common for a (table) grape to not be "great" until it's 4th year, and
what exactly does great mean? Great taste - great producer etc.... Now
that hardy grapes exist it is more and more tempting to plant them.
