1. My favorite grapes! Can't find them in northern Europe (sigh...)

For those of you who can get them, in Brazil I had a wonderful caipirinha made with concord grapes rather than limes. It was sensational!

I don't have a recipe, but I remember that whole grapes were crushed in the drink.

Looking forward to more ripening, and hope to snag some before the birds get to them; just 2 small bushes here.

color for eventually making into wine. But, it is a race between the birds and me, who, as the grapes ripen more and more, and get more and more sweeter, the grapes become a 'must have' by the birds. Have to then watch out for the purple doo doo all over the yard.
