Growing this year as well as Little Willie Mouthful. We will see. I usually can rely on Tania description to be right on for me.
I'm trying Tel Aviv Train , too! Did we all get it from Gary's Swap? Sounded good.

Sungold is liked by everyone we grow for.

Red Ambrosia is a good sweet red one.

Oranje Van Goeijenbier produced good tasting orange tomatoes during a 73" rainfall year.

Matt's Wild Cherry is tasty and plentiful.
Going back to the post I made, I would add:

Medovaya Kaplya
WOW
Sweetie

We're growing all on my original post except Matt's Wild this year.

Tel-Aviv Train sounds like a tomato worth trying. I've nevet taken the Tel-Aviv train (I always used the bus from Jerusalem..) but I heard it's wonderful scenery. Never grew an Israeli tomato, and I know there are not so many known Israeli OP varieties. The country is more famous for its modern agriculture innovations and hybrids that feed Europe in wintertime..
(going to peel a Jaffa orange soon..)

I believe it is a heart, not a cherry, but I have Jerusalem for the first time this year as well.

And yeah, Salt, I think I have a few plants of the Wow cherry as well.

I grew Wow cherry one year and didn't think that it compared to Sungold.

hmmm, I always have been a little skeptical of Fedco's seed descriptions. I'm not saying they are dishonest, just a little too optimistic for my taste.

I also just found a few plants of Malawi, which I believe is a red cherry. I have not grown it yet, either.

Not a big time cherry/grape.
But right now I have the following in my Garden :

Black Cherry
Chocolate Cherry
Esterina F2
SunGold,
Store bought grape tomato.
Juliet (I call it large Grape size).

So probably, I can live on Cherry alone.
So fat Black Cherry and SonGolld have tomatoes
