I live in arguably the best place in the US for good produce (near Berkeley Bowl and the gourmet ghetto), and I must say, I haven't had a good McIntosh apple in years. Either they are just not around or they just don't taste like the fantastic apples of 10-15 years ago. Red Delicious were responsible for me hating apples as a kid. McIntosh were responsible for me starting to love them again.
