Here's a brief list of some Grape/Cherry Toms from various catalogs I have.  
This is simply info, not an endorsement for any company, although I've 
ordered from all and have had no problems. 

Juliet & Santa appear to be these "Grape" types, others are cherries with 
grape as part of the name.  It's a little misleading, but then grapes are 
round or elongated too.  Both Juliet (1999 AAS) & Santa are hybrids, so 
simply saving seed will give various offspring.  They could probably be made 
into "stable  hybrids" by selection over a few generations.  I have not tried 
either of these before, but will this year.

Also listed are other cherry types, OP & hybrids.
