09:22 pm: Made A Liar of Me
On my website I've noted the grape "Orange Muscat" as being mainly a wine grape, and said that while it has intense muscat flavor, it is too soft to be considered a suitable table grape. This year, it decided to contradict me. This year, the berries were firm, meaty, and very much like a table grape. True, it has seeds, but if it was always like this, I wouldn't hesitate to call it a table grape.

However, I don't know what exactly made it come out the way it is this time around. So I STILL can't generally recommend it as a table grape, since I don't know what combination of soil and climate will make it such a nice table grape (assuming you don't mind seeds and can control disease on it).
