Wild Grape anyone ever make

OK,

So I'm a bit of an experiementer, and I have Terry Garey's book on home winemaking. Inside she has a recipe for wild grape, which is more like a wild berry than a grape, but nonetheless I thought I'd give it a try.

Here is a shot of the grapes one for comparison, and one of the whole lot.

I had enough for 1 and 1-2 gallons so I made a one gallon batch and a half batch with the rest made up with Welch's concorde concentrate.

About 3 pounds a batch, the grapes (berries) are very potent in the pigment category. Here is a look at the raw crush...

I must say, the raw juice with sugar added reminded me a bit of the elderberry or a grapey blackberry in aroma. As fermentation went on though it got more "woodsey" and wild, not like a grape wine or like the berry wines I enjoy. I'll keep it around to see what happens, but at this point, I'm not looking to try again next year unless it really turns around. I just took it off primary today, but didn't sample it... I want to let it it settle out a bit and will taste at first rack.

If anyone has ever tried this, I'd love to hear comments.

Thanks, Greg
