...Cotton candy grapes!


Satisfy your sweet tooth with grapes that taste like candy

It's harvest time in the vineyards near Bakersfield, California, and farmers Jack Pandol and Jim Beagle walk every field tasting for ripeness.

"We take it right up to the edge. The tremendous flavors come in right at the end," said Pandol, founder of Grapery.

Those flavors might surprise you. Cotton Candy is one of the Grapery's six varieties. With names like Gum Drops and Flavor Promise, the grapes are specifically bred with one goal in mind: taste.

"You know, there's a reason that when you go to a store down the aisle, that half the candy in the aisle is fruit flavored. Because that's what fruit should taste like," said Beagle, CEO of Grapery.

That last bunch of grapes I bought were too sour to eat.
