Germans from Russia - Dandelion Wine

We went out to the mountains today to do some fishing and looking around. It was cloudy and windy, but otherwise it was a good day, and we caught quite a few trout of the smoker.

At one place we stopped, we saw a lot of dandelions in full bloom:



This site reminded me of a Germans from Russia recipe for dandelion wine that I had seen:



I don't know if my grandfather ever made this wine; I don't remember ever seeing it, and I certainly don't remember drinking it. Having said that, it is a favourite of the local Hutterite colonies in this area, so I decided to give it a try and got to picking:



This will be my first wine project with the wine kit that The Beautiful Mrs. Tas got for me for my birthday:

We'll see how it goes; I'm expecting it to be good.

Let me know how it turns out. Didn't somebody write a song about that stuff?

Very nice, good luck!

I remember spending hours hunched over picking dandelions with my dad. Was too young to try the wine we made with it (a shame), but I hear it makes a nice dry wine.

lavaca,

I remember watermelon wine by Tom T. Hall. Don't remember dandelion wine. Sounds good, doesn't it?
