Runningwolf · Apr 4, 2011

Teraann, Looks like you got a nice start on your collection. I am glad to see you got some Island Mists which are early drinkers giving you time to age some of the bigger wines. Looks like it's going to be a happy summer for you!

teraann · Apr 19, 2011

Dan -

Yes, the cranberry chianti and strawberry riesling turned out excellent! We have already gone through a couple bottles. Im trying really hard to let it age though

Runningwolf · Apr 19, 2011

I made the Cranberry for a Christmas wine and it is very good. I also made the strawberry a while back and didn't care for that too much. It actually tasted like a Jolly Rancher to me. I ended up blending it with some Rhubarb I had and that turned out excellent. These were both the same kits you made.

teraann · Apr 19, 2011

The strawberry is VERY sweet, I can only have so much. I'm more of a red wine type of gal so a lot of these fruity wines are a change for me but I am having tons of fun! This hobby is very addicting!!
