They called me to ask about heirloom grapes and I didn't give them any, because taste is so subjective, as well as   regional.  That, and the fact that tastes are changing in grapes so fast that new varieties of table grapes are very different than "antique" ones.

its "Ark of Taste", a sort of hall of fame meaning 
these connoseurs have decided its the best.
