I have made a very nice hard apple cider in the past and this year I want to try apple wine. I also have peaches and think maybe an apple peach blend might be good, looking to make 5 gallons or so. I was thinking 50/50 mix, remove the peach skins, and let it co-ferment then press and process like my red/white wines? This is my 3rd year making wine from fresh grape.

anyone try this and care to share with the group?

as a good point of reference) I have done both apple and peach wines but not together. I would likely begin it the way you are planning. Sounds delicious already. I sure hope you post your results.
