Do you still watch TV with rabbit ears grabbing your signal, and then grab those winesaps from the icebox?
I’m clearly joking with you, but the Winesap is such an old variety that it made me chuckle. My folks were commercial apple growers and I haven’t seen a Winesap in a long time.
Cosmic Crisp is my current (relatively widely available) variety as well. They’re really hard to find, but I fondly remember Criterion apples. When picked, they were unbeatable, but their shelf life was horrible. From amazing to mush in a matter of days.

I definitely ordered them from Baldor in October 2021 but obviously it is now late harvest only:
Also, can’t recall if actually got them or not (as Baldor goes). Generally though if I had my choice I’d go for the Ananas Reinette.
We are big fans of the Cosmic Crisp. Cross between Honeycrisp and Enterpirise-both great apples in their own right .
Just had my first Aurora Golden Gala-another great (juicy and crispy) apple .
