We opened our first bottle of Pineapple Mango wine last week. The wife was afraid to 'encourage' me too much, but she definitely liked it. I talked at dinner over the next few days about keeping my eyes open for Fresh Mangos or Frozen Mango Chunks at a decent price. Her reaction was muted but slightly different than it has been to my talk about new wine batches.So today I was in a Sam's Club in Fayetteville, AR down the road near my VA center. Frozen Mango Chuncks $8.98 for 4 lbs. Did a quick calculation and decided to get 4 bags. for 3 gallons of wine. As I was leaving Sam's the wife called. After I told her where I was (Not what I bought) she revealed that she had just purchased 10 Fresh Mangos @ $.45 each. So I fessed up about my purchase.Guess that means she liked the wine a lot. OH and this hopefully will be a MANGO - Pineapple wine not a PINEAPPLE - Mango wine. Nothing against the first batch but I really want the Mango flavor to show up more.Will post back what the final weights and composition of the batch looks like. Hoping for at somewhere between 6-7lbs of Mangos per gallon and Two cans of Frozen Pineapple Juice. for a 3 gallon batch.Oh and I ran contrary to my own guidelines an bottled that first batch at about 9 months. - The wine was clear and taste was solid. So far no appreciable sediment after bottling.
