| There is a grape tasting in the recent CRFG newsletter and I was surprised to see both NY Muscat and Muscat Hamburg near the bottom (Muscat Hamburg was at the bottom in fact).  What I think this says is these dark-skinned muscat grapes do not fit the mold of what most people think is a grape these days.  Jupiter was not in the tasting but my guess is it would have done better due to greater firmness and less muscat flavor, but it still would not have been near the top.  I had been recommending muscat grapes to people since they are my favorites, but these ratings made be pause a bit on that. Scott PS here are the actual ratings if anyone is curious:  1 Red Flame   2 Fantasy   3 Reliance   4 Suffolk Red   5 Interlaken   6 Himrod   7 Venus  8 Muscat St. Vallier   9 Golden Muscat   10 Cardinal   11 Marquis   12 Captivator   13 Jefferson   14 Brilliant   15 Buffalo   16 Iona   17 Alden   18 NY Muscat   19 Mars   20 Herbert   21 Muscat Hamburg Jupiter is firmer, and the vines are more productive than NY Muscat, but NY Muscat has more muscat flavor. -Lon Rombough |
