My son has a wedding coming up in June of next year and I'm looking for some suggestions for a Wine that 1)can beaged enough to be good to drink in that short of time,2) one that's popular or liked by a large audience, and 3) something I won't screw up since I'm new to wine making. (I do have my first batch percolating right now though.)



I'm thinking it would probably be a white wine, and perhaps something a little on the sweet side. Perhaps like a Kiwi-Melon or something?


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Swede,
Can't go wrong with a Reisling or Sav Blanc

Most any white will be ready enough by that time frame if you get it started pretty quick. That White Zin Wade suggested is a fantastic wine. It is a favorite around here. The Sav Blanc would be a great choice IMHO as well.
