What was I thinking?! my wine is too sweet??

[waitsumore]

your so forgiving it makes me feel at home..........
I just need to find a current thread that suits my recoverable disposition
maybe suggest one for a newby
am looking for some finishing flavours for an unintended Port, maybe some kind of oak that suits my syrupy sweet cherry wine with vanilla perhaps ?

This is a very relaxed forum, welcoming to beginners and newcomers. Yeah, we're unlike the rest of the internet.

You don't need to find an existing thread -- start a new one in the Specialty Wines forum:

https://www.winemakingtalk.com/forums/special-interest-wines.61/
State what you have, possible final goals, and ask for feedback.

Note ... ask a question of 10 winemakers, you'll get at least 11 opinions ...


A year ago I constructed a Port, and while I didn't flavor it, the notes may be useful to you.

Welcome Kimmy. The ranks keep growing.

Wade, that sounds like what happened with my mango wine last year. can you suggest any good sources of recipes that are more 'modern'?
Thanks,
Steve

Well you don’t follow a recipe when it comes to adding sugar. You check your SG first and then add sugar to get to your target

and now you tell me it’s a 13 year old thread…

@waitsumore Welcome to WMT!

Just so you know, this thread is from 2010.

A good year…
