My wife and I relocated from California to Alabama a couple years ago and
this is my first year making wine since leaving CA. Excited about making
wine with local fruit, I decided to make my first attempt an apple wine. I
just bottled this week and I'm quite happy with the results (thanks in part
to the great advice received from this group).

As I'm bottling this year's wine, I'm pondering what I'll try next year. I
have a few personal taste issues to deal with. First, I'm not particularly
crazy about the foxy taste of muscadine or concord grapes. Second, I don't
get too excited about wines whose primary source of sugar comes from
something other than the fruit for which it's made to taste like (i.e.
flower, herb wines). I'm looking for personal recommendations from the group
for good fruit wines. I've heard apricots and pears make good wines.

Any suggestions???

Thanks Again,
Charles

PS - Anyone interested in exchanging fruit wines? I was thinking that might
be a good way to try other fruit wine types...
