Question:

I love your site and information. I live in the Clearwater/Tampa Florida area and want to find a place to buy Fresh OR Frozen GRAPE LEAVES.  I'm sue that you know the difference between the taste and texture of the bottles type. Any suggestions?

You would have to visit a local vineyard for fresh grape leaves. You want the new or young leaves that they haven't sprayed yet. In other words, visit them in the Spring when the first leaves have come out, and before they do their spraying.
