Greetings all ! 

  Well the fermentation ceased on the bananas Foster wine.  I am pleased 
to report that after getting caught in one of Floridas afternoon rainstorms 
and a resultant trip to the local provvisioners of rum.. I found some 
Appletons Estates Rum on sale for about half price.. Soooo  that was the 
deciding factor... I took it home and after the fermentation ceased I 
added it in.. back sweetened a small glass.. and gave it to the testing 
lab (the Mrs) and it got outstanding reviews.   The only problem being it 
tasted NOTHING.. like bananas foster at all !!! 

It had a great cinnamon and Banana nose.. but the taste was more like a 
grapey, chardoney with notes of citrus, hay and carmel.. very wonderful 
taste.. but not what I was looking for at all !!    How wonderful are the 
happy accidents ! 

Has anyone else done this ? 

Mark
