Chokecherry wine

[sdixon]

So I make chokecherry wine from the chokecherries I pick in the late summer (also make elderberry and blueberry and honey wine). Tonight I racked 5gal into a keg and put it in my kegerator to carbonate. Chokecherries are kinda bitter with a very nice taste (in my opinion). I think they really lend themselves to a sparkling wine... champagne has a similar bitterness/dryness. I'll try to save some for the next meeting at Thomas'. Very tastey... wife loves it Nice to brew something that my wife likes :-)

cool, I'm pretty sure the tree in my front yard is chokecherry as well, I'm interested to try the product before I make some next fall

I have a fairly large choke-cherry tree in my back yard (unless someone cut it down)... perhaps next year I might try making some wine with them if I like the wine... If not, I'd be happy to pick whatever fruit it produces and give it to someone who wants it.
