You are welcome. I learn something every time I post too. It’s great how that works.

I started looking for alternatives to citrus for vitamin c. Then I was looking for recipes for using rose hips, and just accidently tripped over an article which included a reference to rose hip wine.

I’d also like to get him to try some elderberry wine making. We have bunch growing wild. Wasn’t it elderberry wine referred to as the “recipe” in the Waltons TV series?

Oh, I sure have heard of elderberry wine before (that would be fun too!)... but I don't recall it in connection with The Waltons. (I was more a Little House on the Prairie viewer.)

Two summers ago, we had an enormous amount of marigolds planted, and they did very well (so pretty), and I read that one can make marigold wine, so I was about to set forth on that, but the dog living below us decided to set forth all through our garden. Sad scene. But maybe another time. We have a wine-making, beer-making, store about three minutes away.
