900 Bucks for Grapes

I love grapes but I couldn't imagine spending over $900 for 35 grapes (or about $26 per grape for the mathematically challenged). That's how much one hotel manager in Japan paid for a bunch of Ruby Roman grapes at an auction in Japan's northwestern Ishikawa region where the grapes have been under state development since 1994. Before you all head out to Japan to find work as a hotel manager, this gentlemen purchased the grapes to serve his hotel guests. These tomato-colored grapes are supposedly sweet, refreshing and very well-balanced. G Luxe Crew Member Tandori is currently in Japan so we'll have him see if the grapes are worth the price.
