I see alot of recipes for non grape wines, but can't find any (online) for standard wines like Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Chablis, etc.
Anyone have a basic Zin recipe for say 1 gallon, made from Sam's Choice White Grape juice.
Thanks

Sam's Choice White Grape juice is not the juice of Zinfandel grapes... You can't make Zinfandel Wine without Zinfandel Grapes. You may be able to make this wine from your juice:

The reason for that is that only grapes contain everything necessary to make table wine. All other fruits require addition of sugar, water and acid in some combination prior to fermentation. IOW, there isn't any "recipe" for making wine from grapes.
It is true that grape winemakers often "adjust" grape juice to achieve a better balance among those three elements, but it is usually relatively slight. Many wines are made with no adjustment at all because the fruit came in from the field with perfect numbers.

One problem you might have is that you can't really make a red wine from white juice.

Do a search for "jack kellar" he has hundreds of recipes on his website. I've used some and they are good.
