Jacks Wine Blog Description:
Jack Keller talks about his winemaking and store.
Jack Keller lives with his wife Donna in Pleasanton, Texas, just south of San Antone. Winemaking is his passion and for years he has been making wine from just about anything both fermentable and nontoxic.
Jack has developed scores of recipes and tends to gravitate to the exotic or unusual, having once won first place with jalapeno wine, second place with sandburr wine, and third with Bermuda grass clippings wine.
Jack has three times been elected the President of the San Antonio Regional Wine Guild, is a certified home wine judge, frequent contributor to WineMaker Magazine, creator and author of The Winemaking Home Page and of Jack Keller’s WineBlog, the first wine blog on the internet, ever. He grows a few grapes, still works for a living, and is slowly writing a book on – what else? – winemaking.

The first Wine I was going to make was Oak leaf , but did a recipe I made up
wild grape /concord mix dilluted with water Wild grapes are acidic
Thanks to C.J.J. Berry, we now know we can make oak leaf as well as oakbud wine

I am glad he had so many different Styles to help people be open minded
even greater because He saved a lot of my wines with his winemaking problems page
I decided to learn so I didn’t have to rely on other people , and dump a 5 gallon batch,
and his site was very useful for me.
