I really thought someone would have a real answer for you by now. I haven't been able to think of anything since my smart-alec response.

If you didn't need much how about potato based vodka?

How did you make it, is it clear, sweet, dry, cloudy, orange or white, made from yams or sweet potatoes? A little information might help. CC

I made it from boiled sweet potato juice and it a cloudy orange color I am going to put some amylase in it to get rid of the starch haze and then use some sparkeloid to clear it up I hope I think I can top it off with a cheep white wine what do y'all think

BOLLA SUAVE would be a nice complement it's cheap and has slight nutty flavor to it. IMHO

You could also use mixture of Cinnamon and butter

sorry couldn't leave it alone

Well, I am a mere novice but why couldn't you use a light bodied white to top-off something that would not be over powered by the potatoe wine. Also, Shoebiedoo, I know you were joking but Cinnamon Tea would be a good top off to this wine if you ask me.

Gosh I have 3+ year old sweet potato wine and it is the best smelling like sweet potatoes but taste mild like vodka. My first 5 gal batch was Jack Keller instructions with a twist... Shar creation. I have made over 40 gal. grow my own purple sweets and oh what a pretty colored wine! It is fantastic for top off with other wines because it will not alter the wine your topping it off with. I love it, have tried several different strains of yeast, and added lemons and oranges to one or more of my batches. Last fall I had muscadine "ice grapes" then made a batch using those, wow is that good, even green. It makes the most amazing blends with muscadine wine. It has a flavor of it's own. I make mine dry or slightly semi-sweet.
