Boat boy, since you guys brought up some good points, I went ahead and checked with George and sure enough he had one on hand and I got it yesterday. I think I'm going to basically follow the directions with the exception of a little bit more aging. Maybe a little bit of oak but I haven't really...

Going to take a little getting used to, but so much better than before.

Southern chemist, that is correct I miss read your post you had mentioned a wine expert Pinot Noir but then later referred to a winery series that had gp

Hmmmm... Good to hear that you guys are both happy with both the New Zealand Pinot Noir's. I wonder how they compare? WE, I believe is a 16 L kit w/ gp which is unusual EP , I believe is an 18 L kit w/ no gp Both look interesting. I also see that the Meglioli has a USA Pinot Noir - 23 L w/ gp...

I have a CC Red Mountain cab that I'm about to bottle this week, and an Eclipse Lodi Ranch 11 Cab being delivered tomorrow. Will give updates in about 1-2yrs.

Well southern chemist and boat boy, you guys made some good points and convinced me that the LE Tempranillo/Garnache is worth ago. I'll check with George and see if I can still get one. Knockabout, elderberries? Nice... I just may put that BC Meritage on my list as well. Think I'll start...

Southern Chemist, I really like the looks of the Ken Ridge Tempranilllo/Garnacha. I can probably still get one from George. The only reason I have not is because it does not have the grape pack. Though I do not have any wines ready to drink yet, the advice on the forum has led me to gravitate...

Thanks rocky, but the iPhone app does not appear to work the same. Hmmmm

I accidentally listed merlot 2x. I meant to put a Pinot Noir on the list. I ordered a WE Oregon Pinot LE, but it will not be here until March. edited the original post,but can't figure out how to delete this one.

Want to see if I can get some recommendations on the following. My wife and I have a few kits on deck but are wanting to start planning for these. We are in Dallas, so CC, RJS, & MM from George are most convenient, but we will consider ordering WE etc, if we get good enough recommendations. So...

Sounds delicious. I don't have that one, but I'm working on a Celler craft red Mountain cab and just got in an eclipse Lodi Ranch cab to Start. I hope these turn out as good as yours.

Congrats on your first bottling! Nice label. So exciting.

Thanks everybody for the input. Southern chemist, thanks for the link. Very interesting. Looks like maybe the Australian Chardonnay might not be the best for sur lie. Rocky, did you do sir lie on any of yours or when you get this kit? If so, or if not, about how long did it take to age to...

Just received an EP Australian Chardonnay and a Grand Cru Muscat. Does anyone have an opinion whether these would benefit from Sur lie?

Okay now guys, I was hoping for some encouragement on how good my OVZ was going to be. Now I'm getting a little bit worried. Oh well I guess it is what it is. I'll just plan on letting this one sit for a good long time and cross my fingers Does anybody have any ideas for tweaks that might make...

I'm guessing my white chocolate white port style will be ready to drink long before the red ports. Is this accurate?

Hmmmm... So far, no compelling reason to buy one. I'm not much interested in all juice pales but it's the Masters kits that are 23 L with a grape pack are somewhat appealing at face value. I've been wanting a premium Amarone kit. George highly recommends the MM because he says they use juice...

Either nobody has experience with the MM Master All Juice, or are we following the old adage, "if you don't have anything good to say, ...."

James, thanks for the link

Good. I'm using a floor corker, Portuguese I think. No problem getting them in the bottles.
