Lovely surprise this weekend. Made a 1 gallon batch of rhubarb wine using @GreginND recipe over a year ago. Had frozen excess rhubarb from a very sentimental patch and hubby was reminiscing about rhubarb wine at hunting camp (maybe not a well-finessed recipe). I do remember adding some frozen strawberries (amount unknown). After initial fermentation and racking, it sat unattended for too long - "life got in the way." Didn't even add k-meta at 3 month intervals (oops). Finally remembered it and gave it a racking plus k-meta a couple of months ago in prep for bottling. A friend and I tasted it on Saturday - let's just say the 5 bottles one usually gets out of a gallon ended up being only 4. Didn't think I was a country wine fan, but this was really really nice. Not at all what hubby remembers (less rocket fuel approach) and MUCH better.
Thanks to this forum for the skills, the recipe and the guts to take on something new (@BigDaveK, @vinny - not evenly remotely in your league). Planning an expanded repertoire in 2023.
