Where to obtain
According to email correspondence with with Dr. Ramming, the plants can be obtained through mail order catalogs. However, neither of us know of a reliable source for this information, so it cannot be added to the article. –  VisionHolder « talk » 17:25, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Thomcord grapes are being distributed by Fazio Marketing, Inc. in Fresno, CA. Personally, I found them at Safeway in Rohnert Park, CA tonight.Deluxe (talk) 08:50, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
 * The fruits can be found in many places. I used to buy them at farmer's markets in Thousand Oaks, CA.  However, the "Availability" section refers to the plant.  The "History" section talks more about the selling of the fruit.  Unfortunately, there's little published information out there to expand upon. –  VisionHolder  « talk » 12:38, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Reference
Should the 3rd reference link to the full newsletter and also provide a month (October 2004) and page?Smallman12q (talk) 22:55, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Good call on the month and page number—I have added them. However, I don't see the value to the article in linking to the full newsletter.  The (archived) PDF contains all the information needed to verify the content that it is cited for. –  VisionHolder  « talk » 11:35, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Slip-skin & seeds
I'm sitting here eating these right now, and can tell you that 1) they are slip-skin grapes and 2) there are seeds. Unfortunately this is so-called original research and as such I assume cannot be used to correct the inaccuracies on the page.Deluxe (talk) 08:48, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
 * If the ones you are eating have a slip-skin and seeds, then you are eating Concord grapes. They must have been advertised wrong when you bought them.  I've eaten both types, and know for a fact that the article is correct. –  VisionHolder  « talk » 12:41, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
