Nan Chase and DeNeice Guest, authors of Drink the Harvest: Making and Preserving Juices, Wines, Meads, Teas, and Ciders, recently joined Xpress in the test kitchen at Selina Naturally for a demonstration on how to make wine from fresh blackberries.

In this video, Chase and Guest give simple, step-by-step instructions that will enable anyone to make wine at home not only from locally harvested berries, but from many other fruits, herbs and even vegetables commonly found in local gardens and at area tailgate markets.

For more from Drink the Harvest, check out Jen Orris’ interview with Chase and Guest from earlier this summer.
