The Dragon Blood is an easy and early drinking recipe. To be honest though, I think doing a kit, such as a Vintner's Reserve, can't get too much easier. Everything is in the kit that you need. My first wine try (just 6 months ago) was the Mezza Luna Red and I thought that was good very early as well (its gone except 4 bottles I'm saving for a year.) My sister who travels the world visiting vineyards even thought it was pretty good, or she was blowing smoke up my #$%!
