I started making wine in April of 2010 so I’m a beginner. I work mostly with country fruit wines made from fruit I pick here in the backhills of Northeast Pennsylvania. I consider this hobby a exercise in patience. It is not for the person who needs results now.

Hello Scott – I’m enjoying seeing what you are doing – sign me up for the email updates! Wayne
Thanks Wayne, I’ll try and add you to the e-mails sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t.
How wonderful to find your site. I also decided to start making wine last fall and had 3 batches on the go before I had a clue what I was doing. Dandelions, strawberries, apples, raspberries, cranberries, blueberries, etc I very much look forward to reading your blog! It’s exciting to find someone willing to share as they learn, mistakes and all.
Hi Scott, Just found your site, and it has been a big help. Been making
fruit wine for 6 years and have just acquired a juicer, looking forward to trying I will use your recipe for black berries.
Thanks Again Curt
Hi Scott, I see that you have made a number of “chocolate” wines. I am currently making a one gallon batch of raspberry wine. I would like to experiment by making one of the bottles into a chocolate raspberry wine. Can you give me some tips on how to do this?
Bob
For 1 bottle the best way would be to add a little chocolate extract a drop at a time until you have the flavor you want.
