Not a question this one, - just passing on some inspiration I had one day....
I began to see lots of different new fruits in the supermarket, like; Granadilla, Kumquat, Mangosteen, Pitahaya, Rambutan and the like, so I began to wonder how many different types of fruit there were in the world and what kind of flavour they would produce in one wine.
Well, I began collecting whatever fruit I could find, from apple and avocado to tomato and Ugli-fruit, and blending, then freezing, 4oz portions in ice-cream tubs.
At the end of a year I had all I could find in frozen blocks of colourful fruit - 84 in all (although a few weren't strictly fruit - vanilla pod, coconut).
I made two batches, one red, one rose (the 2nd from the fruit pulp left after the liquor was strained off).
When it had finally brewed out and matured it was the best wine I had ever tasted. That was way back in 1994 and now, sadly, there is only one bottle left - which will probably never be opened.
I hope this inspires someone to brew something adventurous - or post here any that you have already made?
