...and for Prohibition we don't care a straw..."
A good buddy of mine has been learning the art of homemade winemaking from his grandfather. This isn't your fancy vineyard wine, but your oldschool backwoods "I make wine out of just about anything that ferments" wine. He sent around to his friends and family bottles of his batch of elderberry wine (which turned out freakin' fantastic). Right now, they're starting on dandelion wine and as we get into summer they'll be doing peach, cherry, wild strawberry, and blackberry wine (unfortunately I won't be around for that).
Home winemaking is entirely legal in Ohio by the way (I'm assuming it is in the rest of the states too) so they don't need to worry about the Revenuers comin' 'round (though there are still a few folks around here that make some of that white lightning).
