Wow! Red flame is nearly flavorless, although very sweet.

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.
