These are my most recent: grape blend wine and gooseberry sparkling. Grape blend is from Marquette grapes I had planted blended with grape concentrate I had bought from local supply store. The gooseberry sparkling is awesome! Very young only have two left to age but putting them aside for a couple years. Have a carboy of strawberry sparkling clearing in carboy and strawberry wine in secondary. going to make some more gooseberry sparkling soon. Its a bit tricky but a lot of fun to make sparkling wine! My next attempt is to brew a good beer. I also have a gallon of pear, 2 gallons of apple and another grape blend aging

Normal stuff.... Oak powder during primary... Malolactic... Barrel age.. Oak Tannin additions during aging... Any ideas you can give me that would help?

Starting my first ever batch today! Peach and Gorse Flower. Going to hold back on the Gorse flower a little as I only want a slight hint of it. Really looking forward to this!
 
Apart from all the kit wines I've done, I've been enjoying doing lots of different country wines. Eventually I got some software to track what I was doing, which helped. Recently. I wrote up a quick replacement that was more portable and met my needs a little more closely. This is an updated extract from the batch report:
