Hi.
Though I've made 300+ bottles of recipe and kit wines, I'm still new to different wines (I like Syrah, Shiraz, Pinot Noir, oaky Chardonnay) . One avenue of my wine making is to give away bottles to clients that think it's "neat that I make my own wine". smile. Good conversation piece as long as I don't give them a wine they don't like. smile. Since I live in North Carolina (oh, maybe that doesn't matter), most folks like white or fruit sweet wines, which I have only made the Island Mist Mango Citrus Symphony kit, which is a huge success. But it's more of a summer wine, in my mind (who knows what these people think). So as I think about another KIT to make, I was wondering if any one had ideas for those that like it sweet. Something for Christmas... I've seen: Peach Chardonnay, Peach Mango Chardonnay, Green Apple Riesling, etc. Niagara Mist and Island Mist seem to be very popular brands. I want to do a Kit, since I'm giving it away and don't want to experiment (though I've done Cranberry, Blueberry, Strawberry, Mango, Mango-Peach, Cab Sauv, Chenin Blanc, etc. via recipes). Just thought someone would recommend. thanks. -- DAve |

thanks, Steve. I'm not a Merlot enjoyer (is that a word?), but most
folks do like Merlot's. I'll check out the Blackberry/Merlot.

If they like fruity and sweet, the peach chard. is quite nice (spoken
by a fellow who hates chardonnay!!). It's actually peachier than most of the peach wines I've made from scratch. |
