Recently I finished a California White, and a California Red. All additives had been added and it was ready for the glass carboy when I decided to add more sugar and yeast for a stronger alcoholic content in the red. Ouch! The wine did not referment, and it turned out too sweet to swallow! Today I decided to mix some of the white with the too sweet red in an attempt to tone it down. I do not know if I helped it or not, but if not I'll pour a couple of bottles of brandy in it and eventually drink it anyway. It is just about 5 months old. Do you think another 5 months might help? As you have guessed by now I am a novice.:) Tiredtinker Hi:
