Ep. 21 - The Grape Man
Update: 2025-11-04
Description
Have you ever tried one of those cotton candy grapes and thought “How on earth do they get this flavor in here?” The answer may surprise you.
In this episode, we’re joined by CEO of The Grapery Jim Beagle, who comes from a lifelong background in agriculture and has answers to all our juicy grape questions. Jim shares how table grapes are grown, how they arrive at names like “tear drop” and “gum drop,” which varieties never made it to market, and the unlikely story of how cotton candy grapes took grocery stores by storm.
The Grapery is a California-based grower behind many of America’s favorite grapes. Follow them and learn more here.
