Re: Who else makes Wine?
I usaly make Grape wine. But last Summer I had to try some thing new, so I
picked up Blueberries at Costco and made 3 gallons of wine with that and let it go dry. It's almost a year old now and I didnt even taste it yet. I better go get to it  I hope its good. As I mentioned before I'm a member on the site www.winepress.us you have a lot of profestional and profestional home wine makers who make wine who are so glad they can help some else make wine. Just like this site with Cigars The there is a Guy Jack keller he is a wine judge in TX he makes wine from almost anything that grows. http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/ Quote:

Re: Who else makes Wine?
Yep, I do agree with you on that, it is another hobby that can get really out of control.

Re: Who else makes Wine?
I've made a batch a year since '07 I think. Some Chilean grape, some California, some local Maryland grape. My best was a Maryland Traminette, a hybrid of Gewurtztraminer and Seyval- it grows on the east cost like a Seyval but has most of the flavor characteristics of the Gewurtz. I fermented dry and then sweetened it a touch with some juice I had set aside. Came out great. Much better than a commercial winery on the other end of the state that bought the same grapes from the same vineyard I did.
Before you ask, I just assumed it was dry because there wasn't nearly enough sugar in the wine to kill the yeast I used and the fermentation stopped on it's own (before I killed the bugs with sorbate). That's good enough for me  I'm a member of winepress also, though I haven't been on in awhile. My family got bigger so my budget got smaller, I make beer now instead
