Saw an email about this new limited release to be shipped end of July.

Any other info around this?

Got that e-mail as well. Sounds pretty good. Although I've got plenty of kits on deck still waiting to be made. But if someone besides the place in FL matched their pricing, I'd buy one.

Was that from LP? I haven't seen it.

the unmentionable place in FL

 

[Boatboy24]

Oh. Maybe they're making it up.

(was that my outside voice?)

 

[geek]

Yeah, that place [emoji16]

I couldn't find that kit on the Winexpert website.

If not, and a more reputable vendor offers it for a similar price, I'm in.

Why is the unmentionable place unmentionable? I've dealt with them unfortunately and they absolutely deserve the bad publicity.... I filed a complaint with the Florida BBB..

There is a sticky located here

The Googler led me to find this kit on another site:
http://www.curdsandwine.com/products/wine-kits/winexpert-limited-edition-forza-italian-red-blend

 

[ibglowin]

Not very specific as to what it is other than a big (high ABV red wine). Could be a Soave, Valpolicella, Bardolino……..

Or Amarone style. There is no Eclipse Amarone.....

 

[ibglowin]

I bet that is it as I read somewhere that the finished wine is ~16% ABV

Forza also means "strong" or "powerful" in Italian.

Curds and wine has it. It states that it's a limited release kit. The varietal is unclear but it states the juice is from the Veneto Region of Italy. Has a grape pack. 16% abv.

Forza also means "strong" or "powerful" in english.

That is funny, I thought it meant "strong" or "powerful" in Italian!

But seriously, that is what influenced my thinking, leading me (along with the Veneto region) to suspect it may be Amarone style.

Oh, Adventures in Homebrewing has it, too: http://www.homebrewing.org/Eclipse-Forza-with-Grape-Skins_p_5784.html

Which is just one of the reasons I won't be making it.

Same price as the Unmentionable Site.

Of course. Remember, WE fixes prices.

Almost like "Fuerza" in Spanish....
