I have always wanted to try this and your post gave my the inspiration to give it a go. I used Catawba grapes that we planted a few years ago. They look very much like the grapes in your picture. Apparently they grow well in New England, although they ripen very late in the season - like early October! My starter is on day 3 and looking great. I used whole wheat flour. I began by burying the grapes in flour and then (I can't let well enough alone) decided to wrap them in cheese cloth, squish them a bit, and bury then in a flour/water mixture. It's working! Thanks so much for the inspiration. I am so looking forward to sourdough waffles this weekend!
