wine Rhubarb Wine

One can make rhubarb wine in many different ways: just plain rhubarb but you need a really good rhubarb variety like rubarb strawberry with lots of red colour but depending on the temperature this may not turn out so red but remain green with some red, then you can blend with other fruits......... thus this batch I made a long time ago.

RHUBARB KIWI:

I blended my rhubarb(that grows like a weed) with a case of kiwi(I don't remember where the kiwi came from but it was ripe)... that was in 1998... 12 years ago; today being Father's Day I said how should I treat myself, well I went to my basement and pulled out a bottle of rhubarb kiwi, in those days, I use to name my wine after something, this vintage I called Eugene Extreme after my late father-in-law.... kind of iconic for Father's Day, a Father-in-law that treated a son-in-law like his own son... I called him "smokey" because he loved his cigarettes, an old French Canadien that traveled Canada in the '50's, worked in the mines mining nickle and learned English from comic books. I married his daughter and the rest is history, I never did make a vintage after my own father - perhaps I should.

Here to celebrate Father's Day is Eugene Supreme, looks like a nice Chablis and has a very, very, nice flavour:

Very good story and I'm not a wine man myself, but would love a taste.

I also have rhubarb pineapple and rhubarb strawberry... no more blueberry that I named after my wife, but I do have some red grape wine(barolo) that I named after my first born Samantha.

...but hey Southern, any time you want to come to Calgary.. we have a big rodeo event going on that is recognized world wide, you are more than welcomed.

...just to give you an idea, I spent a night watching the "wailers" of course without bob marley(saw him in 1976 in Toronto), so its not all about rodeo.

Of course, we have the rocky mountains that people from all over the world come to see.

That sounds amazingly delicious!
I am however, pretty into my 'barb!

I like rhubarb wine, it has a great unique taste. I've had the small winerys version & some homemade rhubarb wine, the homemade version had the same great taste but you could tell that it had strong alcohol content.
a neighbor down the road makes homemade wine, let him take some wild grapes from the property & got a bottle of wine in return. it had a smooth flavorful merlot taste to it.

The Rubarb I made years ago I had to stablelies the yeast then add more suger. Was good stuff.

Would I be able to use my Rhubarb and my Concord Grapes together ?

simple answer- yes, but dont know what the flavor would be like,both alone are great but combined ? so its a gamble to mix those types.
it sounds like an interesting combo let us know how it turns out.
