Funnily enough elderflower and elderberry wine were a big thing in dad's family ;p

I spent many a happy childhood hour out picking elderberries

What happened to the elderberries? I remember picking them too, but I haven't seen a plant in ages.

My neighbor makes Elderflower wine from our Elderflowers. I make Wine from the Berries. We've planted three different varieties. You can get them from Fedco, in the spring.

Cool! I wonder if they would grow in Virginia. I've seen the plants in PA.

If you pick the flowers, how do you get berries?
I suppose you'll come back with a snappy retort like you only pick some of the flowers.

My father used to make elderberry wine. (And fabulous mead, but that's not the subject here ...) I'm going to get me some plants and make him some elderberry wine, now he's not getting up and down the basement stairs (to his winemaking equipment) so well now. Thanks!

I don't pick any of the flowers. I let my neighbor pick some of the flowers on alternate years. I gave her some cuttings so she could plant her own.

Only about 10 people on the Cellar will completely get the joke here, seeing as how many do not have a classical movie education.
