I have a few black spanish growing but won't have grapes for another year or so. Don't know much about the taste though...I left one cluster of grapes on one vine this year so I could taste them, but I'm not sure if they are getting enough sun to rippen this year....I might move that vine this fall. Where are you located and where did you get "favorite" from. I remember reading about someone on this forum last year that had a large crop of favorite.
