California Grapes Ending

Sadly, the California table grape season is all but over.  The red grapes,

particularly the last half of the season have been fantastic — so firm and sweet!  We’re fortunate, because some seasons the fruit has been history before the end of the year….We’ll now starting getting imported grapes.  As it typical with early season grapes from just about anywhere, you’ll be disappointed in the first arrivals in your stores.  They normally lack the sugar content.  Perhaps Chile will prove me wrong this season.   Let’s hope.  But get prepared for sour grapes at the get go.
