I've grown weary of the same old, same old, and was cleaning house.
I came across an old copy of Winemaker magazine and found a short article about tomato wine.
But just rounding up some tomatoes and throwing it together isn't really my style, so off on Google I go, trying to find WHICH VARIETIES are best for Tomato wine. I did find an article that mentioned that three different varieties are used, but that the "winery" actually grows 6 kinds of heirloom tomatoes for wine:

So anyone out there venture into the obscure world of Tomato Wine?
I'm thinking the low acid varieties might be better. bit then perhaps a blend of sweet/acid would be best?
OK. so throw tomatoes at me, (and the idea) I'll gather them up and put 'em through the juicer!
EDIT: Found a recipe that calls for yellow heirloom tomatoes:

Edit #2 I've gathered several varieties of honey for some craft mead (hydromel) experiments, I think I'll use tomato in secondary and see what happens.
