Glad I found this forum!
I am a chemist by training, and a wine drinker by choice. Haven't been in the lab for a while and the homemade bug got me. A few years ago started making my own Lemoncello after a trip to Italy, and on batch 4. I think I make a great digestif, but I am biased. Just tried Limecello (pictured) below. Needs some tweaking but its drinkable.
Also just started doing all organic wines (no sulfites, etc..), started with Rhubarb, which is a beloved flavor for me, and yes skip the strawberries. First batch is ageing and clarifying, initial taste is good and I love the color (also below). Going to grab some peaches for the next recipie.
For my normal wine consumption, I do drink very dry reds, especially Italian Brunellos, as I love almost anything from the sangiovese grape. But I have open flavor profiles for non-grape wines. I also love malty rich ales, scotch and bourbon (the later two neat). Most vacations I take involve a stop at a few wineries or distillery.
Home wine-making and liqeur making is keeping the quarantine boredom away. Hope it is for you all as well.
Drop a line and teach me what you like to make.
