 Purple Calabash -  The rockstar of flavorful tomatoes, wine-like flavor

 Cherokee Purple, Black (of) Tula, Brad's Black Heart, Chocolate Stripes - These can steal the spotlight...  once the average person tastes these, they will never go back to hybrids

I have an unknown cherry type tomato from Mexico that does extremely well here in my summers I think we hit 104F but the leaves just wilted and bounced back afternight. The fruit are extremely sweet. I do have some left over saved seed.

Thank you very much for suggestions of varieties to try.  I really miss having fresh tomatoes to eat when the summers are hot.

Matthew, thank you for the offer, that is very nice.  Cherry tomatoes are the one type I have that will produce all summer, sometimes we want what we can't have.
