I am getting ready to buy a Port kit. What are your thoughts on homebrewed Port wine?
I also want to start an Ice Wine kit. What are you thoughts on the Ice Wine kits?

The Ice wine I am definately intrested in.. We are doing aour wine tour this weekend coming up and I will be tasting some...Hopefully they have a kit for those..

All I will say is that I sell a lot of both and that I think these kits offer the best value of any of the wine kits I sell.

I have never tried one of these kits, but I am a big fan of good port wine.


It is difficult for me to imagine a kit having the same quality taste as a port that has aged the length of my lifetime.

I just bottled my Ice Wine and I am a huge fan. It is very, very sweet. I am sad that I am giving half of them away for Christmas 8O),

How long does it take to make an ice wine kit?

[Coaster]

For me, it took about 90 days to get into the bottle. The instructions said I could do it much faster (30 days), but I bulk aged 50 days (5 in primary <rack>, 15 in secondary <stir, fine, stabalize, do not rack>, 20 for clearing <rack>, 50 for bulk aging <rack, filter, bottle&gt.

Is there a a Muscat Ice Wine kit?

[Coaster]

I've only seen Riesling Ice Wine kits.

Cellar Craft has an orange muscat kit in their dessert wine lineup. I've tried it, and it is quite nice, but not a true muscat dessert wine. Muscat dessert wines are one of my favorites!

Next harvest, I think I'm going to try my hand at Muscat from fresh juice. If I can get enough, maybe even try to do a Moscato (light italian sparkling wine).
