LoL....
When I was married one of my mothers friends we were visiting said ‘this special occassion demands a special toast’ He went to his cellar and brought out ‘Dandelion Wine’ he had made. Of course the taste was wonderful which surprised me....smooth as silk and went down just as easy!
My mother’s father made dandelion wine.

My dad made dandelion wine for a couple of years back in the early 70’s. I’ve still got a few jars sitting around in the fruit cellar. Just like you said, “smooth as silk and went down just as easy”. He didn’t have any fancy wine yeast so he used baker’s yeast so the brew has a pronounced bread-like flavor to go with the sweet-citrus flavor of the dandelion & fruit base. After writing this, I think I’m going to have to break out a bottle !
