I'm 48 and have been making wine since I was 3, I started by cranking the press for my dad and as I got older learned what my dad and grandfather knew about making wine. We made it from the real grapes and not from concentrates.
As far as unfiltered and filtered wines go the unfiltered is the real way to make it, it has a more rich flavour and the only way I can discribe it is it has a smooth creamy taste, we tried all sorts of filters one year and I remember my grandfather calling me down stairs and asking me to taste the new batch and it has a little taste of the filter in it and we both agreed this is not good, we tried other filters and found that if we let the wine filter threw a 3 stage filtering system made up of 3 strainers with each one contaning a coffee filter it filtered out any setement and not changing the taste of the wine.
This takes a while but the end results was great, your jet filters or jet filters do it in 15 minutes but then you end up with a taste that isin't suppost to be in wine.
Someone posted a reply saying only a trained palet can taste the difference, it's like tasting Pepsi and Coke, if you like one you know when someone has given you the other, if your going to make wine take the extra hour and make it the best you can and you will be happy you did when you sit and drink your own.
