Yes, the two pictured on the tasting table were my favorite. The other pictures fruits are the ones we brought home and are not ripe/haven’t been eaten yet. I was hoping to ID those too at least.
What's the point of a blind tasting unless you find out how the varieties were rated???
I was there for the tour/tasting also. R6T11 is probably El Bumpo and R3T2 is probably Ott. Of those you are holding, the third one down is probably Lucida and the fourth one down is El Bumpo. They didn't label the tasting table fruits so that there would not be a bias in the tasting for those varieties that are well known. They alternate years when the fruits to taste are labelled or not.
Pick 3-6 are from Rudy Haluza collections. he has donated more than 20 of his private varieties to Screc throughout the years. Pic #3 is an AtemoyA I suspect African pride and the unnamed cherimoya is from his collection at his villa park property.
I was there as well and liked R3-T1 and R6-T11. R6-T11 is most likely El Bumpo. I emailed Tammy asking for variety names.
Yea, we were talking about R3-T2 and how the first plate of it was not good but the second plate of it was fantastic. I wonder which one was picked earlier.
