Grocery shopping the other day at Trader Joes – one of my favorite stops – I saw a young woman handing out tastes of something called a Thomcord grape with a small piece of Manchego cheese. Although I usually don’t bother to snack on samples when I shop I was intrigued by the grape so I popped one into my mouth. It was so delicious – a little sweet, a little tart with a snappy skin – small as a plain old grape jelly Concord grape and about the same color, but no seeds and no bitter skin. So, of course, I bought some. They are absolutely terrific with almost any cheese – we served them with a cheese selection and a glass of Cava after a light dinner. A wonderful ending!
