JJ -

I made a 100% strawberry in 2003. It is now in the bottle for one
year. I too was shooting for as close to dry as the wine would allow.
This turned out to be 3.8% RS or about 1.010 on the hydrometer. It is
only slightly sweet, which as Joe points out does bring out the flavor
of strawberry.

The wine had just a tad of harshness that did take the full year to
soften. It is quite a lovely wine and I enjoy it (cold) with acidy
'red' foods like pasta w/marinara, pizza, or even hamburgers.
