Re: Bananas

Jack - I used grocery store, unfrozen cranberries that I bought after
Thanksgiving.  This wine is quite tart at 1.0% acid.  I'm going to tinker
with the acidity...measure the acid in Ocean Spray Cranberry Cocktail and
use that as a target.  I find the OSCC a very pleasant cranberry drink.  My
wine was better mixed with OSCC at the time of serving.  While too sweet for
my taster I got some nice comments from those I gave the wine to and
requests for another bottle.
