My local Publix is having a 'special' on Moon Drops Grapes this week. I'm going to try them. After doing some reading last year on Grapery, the California based grower who created them, I found many other flavors I'd like to try, but haven't found them here.
Any of you taste these new flavors of grapes, and what did you think?
*Here's an article on the 'Moon Drops' and the Grapery.
These and the cotton candy grapes are always very expensive at our local stores, compared to traditional varieties, and I certainly don't even like plain grapes enough to pay extra for novelty varieties.
I haven't heard of the moon drops but the cotton candy grapes are spectacular. I think the season is August and September. I haven't seen them outside of those months.
When I was a kid, the fun in going to a Fair was for the cotton candy.

Sorry to hear that. Here, that isn't so, as you can clearly see by the price of the regular Red grapes listed under the Moon Drops. Perhaps the prices are falling due to they are now becoming market mainstream?
I love grapes, hope you at least drink the dark, concord type juice TabulaRasa.
I give plasma about once every 3 months, due to having special antibodies in it, they beg for me to do so.
Point being; I am told by the Floor Supervisor there, that of all the fruits and veggies, meats, etc., blacks and deep red grapes have the most healthful amounts of Resveratrol, beneficial for blood/plasma building and staving off Alzheimers. She says if I only eat one thing for a few days before donating, eat the black grapes.
Lol, I guess you could get that in a glass of Merlot.
Sagacious, yes, those were good days. Still love me a piece of Cotton candy.

The Moon Drops are pretty good. I got the cotton candy grapes for my kids once and they were underwhelmed, so I've never gotten them again.
For me, it's hard to beat a really crisp and juicy plain red or green table grape. The kind that pop in your mouth when you bite into them. Seems like finding those is hit or miss.

Cotton Candy grapes taste exactly like their namesake. Gumdrops are sweet and a bit spicy, and Moondrops are a little less sweet, but with a lot of depth, almost like wine.

I just tried them recently. The name was enticing. However, they tasted like regular grapes. Moon drop sounded pretty. I thought they would be exceptionally sweet or delicious.
Other than their funky appearance, I noticed no difference.

They're good but expensive - out of season now. I enjoyed the container I purchased. They sort of tasted like cotton candy, but not in an artificial sort of way. They had a slightly brownish skin somewhat like a muscadine but not as thick.
By the way, there's no added flavorings, real or artificial - they get the flavors through horticulture, not flavor baths or injections (the Grapple grape-flavored apple is flavored by soaking it in a flavoring bath). Quite an impressive achievement
Speaking of muscadines (also known as scuppernongs) -- if you're a grape fancier, don't pass up buying this Southern grape if you happen to see it in your local store. A truly unique taste experience - kind of musky/spicy.
