Holy something but this is worse than crap. I was planning on a Napa/Sonoma trip this year but may rethink thator hire a driver. With just a couple of these tickets I will spend as much as a Tuscany trip.

Mike, I made this guy 2 years ago (single kit) and fortified with VSOP. It took right at 1000 ml to get it up to 17% ABV. Iadded an additional med toast French spiral for 2 months. It came out with a very nice vanilla tone and I must say at this point the Brandy has blended in very well as Bill...

Flem, I just picked up a MM Masters Pinot Grigio and have it in the primary as we speak. According to Joseph this one of the bestItalian style PG (dry, citrusey). If you want an off dry kit give them a call as there are others that they will likely recommend.

Oops, forgot. Welcome to the forum. There are a great bunch of folks here.

I also live in Texas anduse an interior closet. We keep our house in the upper 70's in the summer. For that reason I only make wine during other seasons when the house is coolerand do thebulk aging and bottlingthe rest of the year.

Welcome to the forum. I too have watched the videos multiple times and learn something new each time I watch.

I have made other brands with grape pack up to nowbut plan on trying a Mosti with grape pack. One other thing I did on my last AJ kit was add additional oak and Tan-Cor. This helped considerably. I also agree with Mike, purchasing separate grape pack would be a good add for these kits.

Ratflinger,I have made several Original All Juice kits and felt the same as you. To me they didn't have enoughbody and seemed weak. I havea Barolo in this kit that isover 2 years old now so it isn't an age issue. For this reason I have started makingkits with the grape packs.

Merry Christmas everyone. Have a great day with family and friends.

Welcome to the forum. Never seen Mustang grapes this nice. Great label by the way. Look forard to hearing more about this batch in the near future.

This jewel (the wine kit that is) may be next on my list to make. Any comments on the level of earth tones to this one? I typically don't care for Merlot or Malbec because of the earthiness.

Glad to hear. It is easy to sample along the way until happy with the level of oak. Are you saying it got stronger with sampling while bulk aging or now that you are opening bottles?

Out of curiosity, do any of youadd additional oak to this kit besides what came with the kit or is the supplied oak dust and beans sufficient?Just started this kit 1 week ago. Can't wait.

Do you know if this is a fairly new kit in this series or has it been around a while?

Honestly the one I had my eyes on is the RJS Winer Series Chilean Carmenere with Carmenere Skins. The Cellar Craft blend it also sounds great.

No decision yet. I will likely make other kits first to give me timeto talk to George about these and pick his brain.

I am a firm believer in the health benefits as well. The "often infirmities" Waldo quoted has all but disappeared for both my wife and I. We started drinking red wine about 10 years ago and since then, neither of us hasbeen sick at all. Nocolds or flu or anything. Just the occasional sinus...

I am looking for recommendations and tasting notes on theCarmenere kits? Several available look really good. In the last year we have been trying different commercial wines and find them to be hit and miss. Some are great but some are so-so. I guess that's true for all wines.

Great looking as always. I also will be curious to hear about this one. I have been pondering making the Darlington Point Shiraz.

Great job on the label.
