Make your own wine?
Friday, September 5, 2003 by Chef Garry | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Anyone here make their own? From grapes, juice or concentrate? Which ones worked best and what varieties do you like?
I have a Cabernet Sauvignon ready for bottling this weekend. The Piesporter is just about ready to drink, yum!

My grandma came from a long line of moonshiners. She used to make what
she referred to as wine, but I had my doubts. She used blackberries,
elderberries and something else along with pure grape juice. People always
said it was good after they drank it, but I suspect it was because they were
toasted at that point
An uncle on my husbands side makes beer. (We call him uncle beer). He made a really nice honey wheat beer as a wedding present for us (we had a small reception, so a keg of it was enough).
I have no experience with it at all. The craziest thing I make is a sweet squash soup that has italian sausage in it (everyone thinks it sounds nasty until they taste it.....) I wish I knew how to make wine, though...it goes so nicely with cheese, and I *love* cheese!

It is also why Bacardi donates so much money from each bottle sold to their preservation, at least that is what a Caver friend told me once.

It's actually almost wine season, and he's got 20 huge barrels ready. You know where I'll be
