Rocky Mountain Wild Wines

I had wanted to make homemade wine but the process seemed too complicated until I came across a recipe published in an outdated copy of Farmer's Almanac for Dandelion Wine. The recipe contained no foreign sounding ingredients and the instructions were easy to follow. For a novice winemaker such a recipe proved inspirational. My wines are flavorful and palatable even though they begin their existence in a cracked crock I purchased at a garage sale. The methods I employ in wine making are basic and unsophisticated. There are excellent winemaking books for the avid home winemaker. However many novice wine makers such as I prefer to begin with the basics. Here are 75 of my favorite wine recipes to help inspire you.
