Bad Delaware Grapes Make Bad Wine

It's just that simple.  I acquired a 5 gallons of Delaware juice, added some voracious and excellent Lavin EC-118, and hoped for the best.  Guess what?  There is no Easter Bunny either.  

This was to be a dessert wine, because the flavors are typically geared for a sweater taste, without the foxy flavors of other native grapes to the North East and Midwest.

Very disappointing result with a batch of bad must that's not even suitable for vinegar.  

Garbage in, garbage out, or maybe it's more like dumpster juice in, dumpster juice out.  

Luckily I've got 20 gallons of the other stuff-- "foxy", musky, sexy native Catawba, Concord and Niagara that's turned out well, just in time to wash back Easter lamb parts.
