[quote=Russell]Maybe I missed this question in the thread? Has anyone drank wine that they, or a non-expert friend made that was pretty good? How many tries did it take them? How much did they make?
Does anyone like blackberry wine? I just googled it and some review of a Mogen David was very complimentary. Curious, because I planted a bunch of blackberries. They have the potential to produce well the second year.[/quote]
In fact, I did and love it. The local Bevmo in Carmel Mountain Ranch carries a kind of Kosher blackberry wine for ~$4 a bottle. It tastes great to me but might be a bit too sweet for most of the wine snobs here 🙂 I also love the concord grape version, both having at least 40% juice in it so says the labels.
I also love dessert wines. The australian muscat at Costco is very very good.
