Sylvan Gaume variety?

My original title for this question was "Where have you gone, Sylvan Gaume?" Realizing that folks might perceive this to be a search for a long lost member, and because I've only received one reply, I've decide to try again.

I happened on this variety, which I haven't heard of before, on the tomatoeden.com seeds website. A check of previous posts yields a lot of rave reviews a few years back, but it seems it has since fallen by the wayside. I'm wondering why. Those who have grown it, what was your impression? Has anyone grown it recently?

The reply is from rxkeith: "i grew it a few years ago when i was living downstate. i thought the taste was outstanding. i didn't get a large number of fruit, but what i got was large size, and great taste. i should try it again, and see how it does here in the U.P. more people should grow it."
