CJ Berry did not live in Oregon.

I have tasted EXCELLENT Black Raspberry wine.

I have made some Red Raspberry wine from the shady
portion of my back yard - not so good - way too
much Raspberry and highly acidic.

In a couple weeks, I am planting 25 Black
Raspberry plants in a sunnier part of the yard.

Make the wine.
