Welcome aboard. There are a few wine kits that will make wines your wife would like. Look at the Island Mist or Orchard Breezing kits. I made an Island Mist Exotic Fruits White Zin that was very good. The regular White Zin kits like the Wine Expert Selection kit is very good as well. Better than most any commercial white zin you will taste. I look forward to your posts and particularly the fruit wines you will make. What you have growing on the farm there?

We have lots of wild blackberrys, wild plums, wild persimmons. We have some nice pear and peach trees, and my wife is trying her hand at strawberrys. We also have a few mulberry trees. I think I'll try the blackberry's first.

Welcome to the forum Hoxbar. Your not to far from where some of my family came from, Hugo. Nice selection of fruits you have there to make into wine, have fun!

I agree with Smurfe. The Exotic Fruits White Zinfandel is loved by most people who try it that aren't huge wine drinkers. They never last long when they try it.


Interesting story about the name. Don't worry about wine stories- you will aquire them as you go.

Freeze all the fruit you can or do as others also do and get a steamer to juice the fruits. I will be making some of that Mulberry wine myself this year.

Found out that a friend of my wife's has a large mulberry tree in her back yard. I plan to stake that one out this spring myself. She doesn't eat them, but the birds sure do.

Hox stick around, they will make winemakers out of us yet. I've got my 2009 season planned in my head.
