Thanks for this explanation, Lon. I was confused about that, myself.

I've got a Jupiter grapevine, and although the grapes were tasty last 
year, I didn't notice anything particularly different about them. Of 
course, for me to notice, it would have to be REALLY different.

I've never eaten a muscadine grape, so I've got no clue there. I guess I 
just assumed that "muscat" meant "the flavor of muscadine grapes." 
Foolish of me.

Thanks again,
