I'm not so sure it is weather - we tend to underestimate how unique each of our set of tastebuds is. I've tried KB in different gardens, climates, etc - it does well, it is pretty - it is simply not "my thing" culinarily - ditto for Persimmon, Goldie, Verna Orange - and with such a large selection of varieties to try, to me there is no need to keep returning to varieties that are simply not your cup of tea!
At Tomatopalooza 2, we had an interesting situation - perfectly ripe Black from Tula and perfectly ripe Cherokee Purple next to each other. A small group of us did a sort of taste off - completely different results. One good friend found Tula better by far, I found ChP better by far, others sifted into one category or another.
So, convincing each other to love particular tomatoes doesn't work - same with coffee, wine, chocolate - our senses, how we process inputs - are all so distinct and different!
