My neighbor has a Meyer lemon tree. They mentioned to me last fall that they don’t know what to do with the fruits and don’t particularly like the taste of them. So, back in March, I grabbed a bunch of the lemons, did some research, and made a gallon of wine out of them. I mostly followed a mixture of the recipes on Jack Keller’s web site, with a few modifications I thought were necessary because I was using Meyer lemons rather than Eureka lemons.

Saturday morning, I went to Corti Bros and mentioned to Darrell Corti that I was making Meyer lemon wine. He said he’d be interested in tasting it. So, I went home and checked out the wine and bottled it. It’s actually pretty good.
