"Susan S. Oehlers 512-245-3686" <SO02@...> Ok, I dug around through my recipe mess and found the recipe for the infamous "Chile Petine Wine". I'm going to type it in just as it was written by my friend. I know nothing about wine making in general so have no idea how accurate the instructions are. I have never made this but I have drunk some and remember it as being pretty good (this was also 20 odd years ago and there were a number of things I liked that make me cringe now!).

Chile Petine Wine -- from a family recipe of Alan Voight: Take a 4 gallon bucket and add initial ingredients and fill with water. Add ½ packet wine yeast. Let ferment 1½ weeks.

Then add 2 cups of sugar, 2 oranges and the other ½ packet of yeast.

Let it go, but watch it. Strain 3 or 4 times over 4 month period. Drink.

If anyone actually decides to try this, please let me know what results you get.
