If you want to try to make them, and don't have a grape vine, you can buy canned grape leaves. I'd like to try to make them stuffed with meat and rice sometime in the future.
The paradox of the homeless.

Oh thank you Martha...I have grapes and have never thought of stuffing them, though I do make stuffed chard leaves from time to time. I'll dig up that blog post and post it to you. I think you would like those very much. My girls used to like them cold for lunch.
We just had some hot days, so my leaves are probably tougher now too. They are such a beautiful leaf.
I did this one time long ago - it was so much fun to use some free grape leaves! Mine were so deeply lobed, though, that it was difficult to keep the filling inside as I rolled. I imagine that the various varieties of grape leaves have other differences, too -- maybe how thick and tough the leaves are? At this point I don't remember how long I blanched them...
