I am very new to winemaking. My first batch of kit wine is still in
primary fermentation.



But I am already looking forward to the next batch.

I have purchased some Cabernet concentrate from Williams Brewing.

I was curious what anyone's thoughts were on using this as my base to
make my must.

I also have questions about obtaining fresh juice. I live in Ohio and
do not have ready access to Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet grapes. I am
looking at local varietals. But most here are very sweet. Concord,
Catawba, Reliance, DeChaunac,

What do others do about getting grapes or juice?

Well, it depends on where you are in Ohio. If you're in the north
east, Presque isle winery offers juice/grapes/young wine in the fall
and mobilia farms offers juice all the time, both in North East (erie)
PA.
