Craig Lehoullier ( nctomatoman) and I oncepublished an international news letter about tomatoes and wrote many articles ourselves and solicited articles from many others.

One article was submitted by Will Weaver, who had made tomato wine using the variety Riesentraube which appeared in Philadelphia in the mid 1800's. And that variety had been used before both in Philly as well as in Europe where it existed with different names. We jsut have it with a German name, but I think it was in Hungary that it was known as Goat's T&T, for the nipple found at the blossom end.

Will sent me some of that wine and it was outstanding, like a pale sherry. And no, he didn't age it as long as mentioned above.He wrote his recipe in that article. But since many other links have been given here and it would be difficult for me to find that recipe right now, maybe I could ask Craig if he had the time, so I'll just let the rest of you play around with tomato winemaking and offer to be a taster.
