All of my first recipes through 2008 utilized apples that were 100% Golden Delicious. These recipes always produced a very "yeasty" flavored wine.

This notation comes from the following website: http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/recipes.asp...

*For this and all apple wine recipes, unless varieties are specified, the more acid and sour varieties are preferred and the sweeter eating varieties are to be avoided. Winesap, McIntosh, Jonathans, and crab apples are best. Delicious apples should be avoided.
