It doesn’t get much better than ripe Muscadines. I look forward to Muscadine season every year. Who else has been enjoying Muscadines lately?

What varieties are your favorites?




Triumph and Cowart are the ones I’ve been eating, because my other varieties are several years behind the Triumph and Cowart. Triumph are a bronze/pinkish self fertile and Cowart are a black self fertile. I definitely prefer Triumph out of these two—better flavor, size, and texture.

A buddy of mine will soon come home to find that he has been "cooned". (Raccooned, that is.)
I love those things.

Ison is my favorite early black. A large domestic with the taste of a wild muscadine.

Early Fry and Pam are my favorite bronze.

I am finding a few ripe wild ones here but it is still early.

I’ve had Ison. They were good, but he has developed some that have much better flavor than his Ison variety in my opinion. Of course my taste could be different than yours.


Either way, Ison is the king of Muscadine development

There is a vineyard near my house that has many, many different varieties. Probably at least 30. Muscadines were Muscadines to me before I visited his vineyard.


Now I know there’s a huge difference between varieties and I have an entirely new appreciation for grape connoisseurs

Having spent my childhood picking and eating mostly wild blackberries, muscadines, mulberries, elderberries, huckleberries I'm kind of partial to the not as sweet slightly tart flavors of the wild.

Call it nostalgia if you will but part of me would go back in time in a heartbeat and that wild flavor is as close as I will ever get.

Spent a many a September Sunday afternoon climbing trees with muscadine vines in them when I was a kid. I knew where all the best vines were. Carried a bunch home in a lard bucket with a homemade bailing wire handle with a hook so I could hang it in the tree while I was picking. The resulting jams or jellies went great on hot biscuits with breakfast. Yea, I am an Old Fart!
