    We did this a few years ago. Made a good grape wine from our grapes in the back yard. Tried elderberry , got vinegar. Made a strawberry that should have a bourbon label on it , it warms the whole way down.

    We make our own wine from juice that we buy in the Finger Lakes area of NY. We have Traminette, Noiret and Dry Rose' made from Iona grapes. Took some to a recent GD owners "gathering" and those who tried it seemed to enjoy it as much as we do.

    I make from juice as well. Hard to get good grapes in Ohio. I make a wide variety of reds, pinot noir, merlot and such. I also make chardonnay and dry riesling. I Keg my wine now and we laughed at the sight of 2 5 gallon kegs of wine in our camper. One red and one white. Hey, it was only a 2 week trip ����������

    Funny you should start this thread I was just digging around in the storage room in the basement and found half a dozen bottles I made from grapes in our yard thirty years ago. Must've been some good stuff since I never tried again LOL and left those bottles untouched. Now just stick to brewing beer

    Cheers,

    We always take a few bottles with us when we head out. Camping without wine is just sitting in the woods.

    Steve c,

    My son got into wine making about four years ago. Up to this point I've been making wines from kit that I purchase from various suppliers, and have purchased my own American Oak barrel that I substitute for the oak chips they include in many of the kits. I have made about a dozen wines so far, and plan to expand deeper into the hobby now that I retired on March 1st of this year (2019). Too hot in Arkansas in the summer, so I limit my wine making to fall thru spring, trying to schedule it around our traveling in the rv, and visiting children and grandchildren.

    One of the many things I like about wine making is the ability to out things off of you have too much going on. Secondary fermentation is about the only thing you cant put off. It's a procastinators dream LOL. I make from both kitsch and fresh juice. I get my kits from Label Peelers. Best prices I've seen. You do have to put the item in your basket before you see the low pricing though. It has to do with WinExperts price structure they make the stors follow. Been making wine for 10 years now. It was a goal to out make my consumption till I couldn't post drink anything until it was 2 years old ���� I moved into a new house last fall. I realized i had 27, 5 gallon kegs of wine. Time to slow down i guess lol
