Food is near and dear to my heart for obvious reasons and nothing goes with a good meal like a bottle of wine. Sometimes 2!

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!

BTW I wasn't calling your grandma any names. Just typed it wrong.

vodka is kind of like sour mash whiskey. Fermented potatoes then distilled. Easy enough to do but dang! some wicked.

I'll stick to wine.

It would be neat to make your own wine and I"ve thought about it, one day when I get brave but I'll stick to vodka paralizers for now
