Many years ago I wrote a review of non-grape wines, including peach.  There
are some specialty fruit-wine producers (I'm not sure why when they say
fruit wine they mean 'not from grapes') producers here in CA then and now.
I couldn't find any palatable peach wine.  They were either unripe-tasting
or too sweet.  Maybe somebody, somewhere, makes a decent one now, but I
haven't read of one.  I think it's just a difficult fruit.  Maybe someone on
the list has had a good experience.

Hello Tom,

It has been my experience that the flavor and aroma of the peach does
not transfer over in the wine like raspberries or blueberries. Whenever
I have made peach wine, it has turned out to be a very light wine with
little flavor or bouquet. Therefore, whenever I am able to get peaches,
I put them on my ice cream.

I'll be interested to see if any one else on the list has had different
experiences making peach wine.
