★★★★★ OMG!

OMG tastywine was the tastiest of all of my mater plants in 2021, even better than New Big Dwarf and Bush Goliath. Actually probably better than Brandywine too but I don't grow Brandywine anymore because of very low productivity and being disease prone, for me anyways, in my area. I contacted Craig Lehoullier who used to orchestrate an organization named TomatoPalooza when he lived here in Raleigh and wrote an excellent book EPIC TOMATOES. I asked him about using TastyWine suckers to clone more plants. He said that it should work, unfortunately I ran out of growing time by then, but I plan to experiment with cloning some TastyWine plants this year (2022).
