Hi All,

     Here's a couple pics of some fairly odd grapes from a cross
(06-59) I did of Lindley X Dattier St. Vallier.  Delicious pulp but
the thick skins will dry your mouth out like powdered grape tannin if
you chew them!  Low acidity in the 0.4-0.45% range, Brix about 19 and
pH's above 3.60.  These would make great pollen donors on wild grapes
to boost tannin and skin thickness.  Only the leaves on the lowest 2'
of cane are funky like the one shown on the LindDatt Rouge.  I'd call
them seeded table grapes but for the tannic skins.

Enjoy, Cliff
