This is a new one for me.....Usually I mix the Sandcherries with the Chokecherries in a Wild Black Cherry Wine....
So this time it's just with Sandcherries and red grape concentrate...Hope it has enough flavor to stand on it's own...if not...will bottle it in one gallon jugs and blend it with Chokecherry at bottling.
The juice was pretty mild.
