Picking up John's cinerea seeds

I met John Barnett and his son Brandon to pick-up cinerea x vinifera seeds for myself and Rich Ellison. In the below picture, you can see the bags of seeds. We also tasted the Plainview and FM 875 cinerea. 26 brix on the FM 875 cinerea, with a nice fruity taste, with a banana hint, that pleasantly lingered on the palate. FM 875 has a lot more juice than Plainview. I had to squeeze about 10 berries to be able to get a brix reading (around 20). Both sets of berreies were picked on 10/3/12. Plainview wasn't really ripe, yet.
