I have about 12-14 pounds of Concord grapes in my freezer. I grow the grapes myself. I usually hold the Concord back to make pies, but I think I still have a bag from the year before. Since they are taking up my freezer space, I’m going to make wine this year. I found recipes on Jack Keller’s site.

My question:
Jack lists three recipes. The first recipe is a lighter wine only using 6 Lbs. of grapes. The second is a heavier wine using 12 Lbs. I’d like everyone’s suggestion as to which recipe to use. If you’ve ever had Manischewitz, that’s not what I’d really like to go for. But I’m having trouble imagining a lighter dryer concord being any good. I suppose I could split the difference. I’m torn, any suggestions from concord connoisseurs?
