I am finding some VERY good ones made locally from the same grapes I am buying down south. They are in the $20-$24 range with the exception of one, the one that has won all the medals. They want $38 for their juice but its pretty awesome juice.

I realize this is a very old thread, but I've been hoping for a Cabernet Franc kit for years. I have made several Cabernet Franc Chilean juice buckets and they are pretty good. Winexpert is including a Cabernet Franc kit in their LE16 offering this year. I am one of those wierdos that really likes Cabernet Franc unblended. I always enjoy it during visits to the fingerlakes wineries. So, I ordered 3 kits and can't wait for the delivery.
Cheers!
