[Waldo]

Put my name in the hat for one George

 

[Wade E]

Yea, me too! Some other company made something like this for a limited
time to right as I was starting this wine making adventure.

 

[otto6183]

This does indeed sound like a 'must have'.

Wade, Spagnols release of their Chocolate Orange Port last year was so successful, that is is supposed to be available again this Fall.

It looks like Ports are in!

 

[PolishWineP]

This sounds like something a princess might need after a hard day in the palace!

 

[Wade E]

Thats the 1 Otto.

 

[Dean]

Wade, I have it on authority that it will be released again this fall. It is strongly being considered to make the full lineup, but sourcing some of the ingredients is a little tough for them.

The OC Port is a good one. Since I liked the WE port before I tried the MM port, I think this one should be outstanding!

 

[Wade E]

Yes, that just sounds good.

 

[jcnoren]

Never made a port before, therefore I don't even have a ball park figure as to cost ... what over $100.00US more?? less absolutely no idea. Park park figure?


JC

 

[trashy]

I'm a big fan of the port.

Count me in as well...

 

[chevyguy65]

Did someone mention chocolate !
Count us in!!!!!!!

 

[summersolstice]

It's my understanding that the Orange Chocolate portwill be available as well. Is there any indication when you'll be taking pre-orders?

 

[geocorn]

I will be posting both this week.

 

[chevyguy65]

Just talked to Mrs. chevy at work and if there is an orange chocolate port .......hold one for us!!! I wonder if it will taste similar to the chocolate covered orangesticks youget at the candy store?

Edited by: chevyguy65

 

[geocorn]

The WE Chocolate Raspberry Port is available for pre-order.






LR001


Note this is a 12 kit and no water is added. No mention is made that it is "All Juice", so I would assume it has been reconstituted by Winexpert.


I will post info on the RJ Spagnols Chocolate Orange Port as soon as I get the info, tomorrow.

 

[geocorn]

The Orange Chocolate Port is now available for pre-order. These should also show up in August. Here is the link:


24707

 

[geocorn]

The Raspberry by WE will be shipped in September. The Orange by Spagnols in August.


BTW, guess who showed up at the store today? The Spagnols representative. They want me to carry more products!

 

[Wade E]

Thats great if thats what you want and have the room to do so as they
carry a few kits that I would like trying with the grape skin packs,
something about that just makes me feel better with using them instead
of raisins even though I know a shriveled up grape is a raisin. So do
you think it is feasible, are they going to give you a big enough break
in price so as that you can make some money and make it worth while?
Are these Port kits going fast or do I have some time before these are
sold out. Kinda low on funds but do not want to miss out on these kits.

[Lenore]

Could you make a double batch of this so you don't have to buy new equipment? I don't have smaller primaries or carboys.

 

[Wade E]

Absolutely Lenore, this is what I did with the Ice wine and what Im
going to do as soon as I get some money do buy 2 of each of these Ports. Didnt realize they were going to be so pricey!
