Remove to heated platter. Blend flour, sugar, salt, and pepper into drippings in skillet. Add wine and cream. Stir over low heat until smooth and thickened. Cook 5 minutes longer, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; add lemon juice and grapes. Pass hot sauce with the fish, and use some on the platter as a garnish, with extra grape clusters. Makes 6 servings.
