Default Grape Tomatos

Does anyone know of a good variety of grape tomatoes ?
I have some for the local Pathmark, they are actually very good.
I'm thinking of taking the seeds and starting there, But I don't know
what cultivar they are.
They are slightly bigger than a cherry tomato, and seem to be meatier
with less seeds.


My long-time favorite red grape tomato was "Ruby" but it is no longer
available from my usual sources.

I've been trying various varieties ever since, and last summer's may
have been a keeper. It's called "Sweet Hearts."

Be advised that "Juliet" is much larger than a typical grape tomato,
being more of a very small pear, when I've grown it.

Last summer I also grew a large orange grape tomato called
"Gold Nugget" which was pretty good, and a nice contrast to the
red one.

(I actually dry most of my grape tomatoes and give them away to
friends and family. They easily out-produce what I need fresh.)
