Back in January, I put on a batch of wine made from cherry juice from Michigan. I had made cherry wine from sour cherries when I lived in Rochester, New York and my daughter wanted me to make another batch. It started out very high in sugar and therefore very high in alcohol. It was tasting fine until the alcohol started to overwhelm the fruit tast, so I stewed some white raisins and added them to the wine after sorbating. The taste is now very nice and the wine is still "for adults only" but it should make a nice aperitif or dessert wine. It is not something that you can sit around all afternoonsipping unless you want to end up naked in the middle ofColumbus or howling at the moon.
