Yes, we just had a bottle last week! Much like you, we were a little underwhelmed when we bottled it at 6 months but it is really coming along. Just at the 10 month mark and we're very pleased :)

Started 4 kits 10 days ago, 2 progressed just like all our previous kits (ready to rack by day 8/9) but 2 of our reds didn't. We're leaving for Vegas tomorrow for 5 days, can we rack to carboy and just not stabilize? SG's are at 1.002 and 1.000. TIA

Just in case anyone is wondering about the other comparable wines we tried, here they are: The Cabernet Franc was comparable to Sandhill's Cabernet Franc The Milagro was comparable to the Red Guitar Old Vine Tempranillo Garnacha And the Grenache Cabernet was comparable to The Strapper...

DG2001 it was called Raven Conspiracy Smooth Bright

We did a wine tasting evening last week where they sampled wines similar to each of the 5 LE17 kits. This is the one they served that was comparable to the Vermentino. It was similar to a Pinot Grigio but with a deeper flavor if that makes sense? Save Save

How are things going with your skittle wine, Marslaura? I just started mine last night, added the yeast this afternoon :)

I just filtered and bottled a couple of carboys of wine this morning using the all in one machine and it went really well. It was our first time using the filter and bottling part of the system so I had a few questions before we started. I went on to the website and left a question for Steve...
