Oh, Worth, your description of Riesentraube is spot on, especially about the translation of the name.
It's just that when a person asks for a 'grape' tomato they usually want an elongated 'mini roma' looking small tomato. It does get confusing with all the names and classes of tomatoes. |

A couple I've grown from your list that I really love are Bradley and Aunt Ruby's German Green. Bradley is not a big tomato, but the plants are great producers of very tasty tomatoes. They are round, so good looking to some people.
One tomato on your list that I won't grow again is Glamour. They didn't have much flavor to me at all, very mild. Remy
