Sounds as though your attitude towards life is the same as mine Mike. I've been winemaking for 50 years and I'm still learning and enjoying it. You never know exactly how your wine is going to turn out. If it's not quite up to your expectations, mix it 50/50 with soda or lemonade in your glass and enjoy it that way.
By the way, I've just checked back through my records, back in 2004 we made a tea wine for our club competition. The recipe called for
10 tea bags, brewed for ten minutes per UK gallon (4.5 ltrs). It was a wee bit twangy when it was finished but was quite nice with a years maturing. My Chief Executive (my wife) won the competition and the cup

. My own wine I blended with some Lemon Balm wine which got third prize in the sweet white class the following spring.
