Default Marrow Wine?

Hmmm, another wine to age for 2 years without drinking! Maybe I'll make a
gallon this year and put it beside my banana wine that needs at least 1 year
of aging before drinking. I usually have too many zucchini (marrow's) in the
summer to eat and have to resort to grilling and canning some (very good in
the winter months) or giving them away. Thanks for the recipe.
