Grape Expectations (A Sweet Discovery!)

The other day, I was in our office kitchen when Travis, a young coworker, came in to put his lunch in the communal refrigerator.

We began with the typical water cooler conversation but then he asked, “Have you tried Cotton Candy Grapes?”

He reached back into the refrigerator and pulled out a bag of normal-looking, green grapes with a very pink label.

Cotton Candy Grapes - A circus of sweetness!To begin my tasting, I looked at them, smelled them, crossed myself, popped one into my mouth, and bit down. There was no conflict of flavor. These little gems tasted exactly like the spun sugar after which they were named!

Developed and produced by The Grapery, in Bakersfield, California, these sweet, succulent grapes are harvested between August 10th through September 20th and available for purchase until  mid-October. So put down the cupcake and give these a try.

Here in Northern Kentucky, you can purchase them for between $3-$4 per pound at:

Other states can find where to purchase here.

A sip of Yum! Cotton Candy makes everything taste better - even grapes!

I wonder what kind of wine these would produce?
