update on "Gray Street Grape" on my henhouse

Since "Gray Street Grape" is now PURPLE when fully ripe vs. being red a couple weeks, I am now back to thinking it is maybe 'Conquistator' after all and NOT 'Daytona'. I am thrown off though by the reference to ripening in mid July as it was ripening big time 10 days ago. The use of Concord to breed 'Conquistador' could sure help explain the deep purple color and wonderful flavor. John
