Not only does it care about his products getting to you in good shape, I think I have email him at least 12 times and talk to him twice on the phone and he has always gotten back to me promply in answering any questions I had weather or not I bought the product from him or not. I had only one...

HI Smurfe I'am part of yhe FVW Club and I used my birthday discount last month wine I purchased 3 more wine kits from George and your are 100 percent right when it comes to the man customer service he is as good as it gets. That is the main reason I don't mine the shipping charges because of his...

I also made the Corvina Classico de Veneto this was the only crushendo i have made so for after six months it was a great tasting wine. I tried it now it is almost a year old now and I really did'nt notice that much differance in the taste. Bought the kit when George had the sale last year. I...

rexmor my first kit was a vr cab, it was'nt bad after 3 months but after 6 months it was a whole new wine. It is hard to wait and when I first started waitng was'nt one of my strong points, but all the pro's out there will tell you in the long run it will pay off for the hard work you put in to...

George sell's awe selection estate series Sonoma Valley Unwooded Charonnay which I made and I'am not much on white but it is always good to have around for the guest. The kit was great and it was drinkable fairly quick I think I open my first bottleafter letting it sit2 months after i bottle it...

JC Useing a couple of cheap bottles for topping off works great 24.00 for a low end kit is pretty good. I'am sure the kit will come out good and your cost for your wine should be only about 3.50 a bottle, which should be better or at the very least as good as those 9.00 bottles. Not a bad...

I get between 28 and 30 bottles from my kits the last couple of bottles I keep for my own personal drinking don't mind if there is alittle sediment in them. Making a low end kit is a good idea for topping off. I have done that when I made my we crushendo kit I lost a lot of wine when I did the...

I thank all of you for your input I also agree you should follow the direction, I quest that when you always do the other kits the same way as far as the clearing goes I just wanted to make sure there was'nt some kind of type o. I did read the direction again and it does say to rack off the...

I have made many wine expert kit and when it is time to ad the fining agent to clear the wine you always stirr the sediment back in the clearing agents. The rj spagnols kit tells you to rack off the wine and leave the sediment behind and the add the clearing agent. First time I have ever done a...

Congrats on becoming a FVW Growers Club Member, Just became one myself a few weeks ago, couldn't buy all the kits, but I also pick up one of the 2006 Limited Edition Series but that one will not be out to April, going to be a long winter. Good Luck with those new kits. Let me know how your first...

I think you might be right on that Peter, that is what I think is the differance I'am missing between storebought and my own wine when I say it don't seem to have the same kick to it. Thanks for the thought.

Smurfe when you say you over did it, is that a two bottle night instead of a one bottle?

Thank's Hippie I see VR make a Bergamais I'll have to get one of those kits from George the next time I put an order in.

I have made a couple of fruit wines because I know you can drink them pretty quick after you bottle them, but they are not like cabs. and merlot or the other reds I really enjoy. Do you have any reccomendation on some of the younger wines you are talking about. I thank all of you for your...

Yes I have also stop buying wines and making my owen instead. So far I have made six batches. I have learn the longer they sit is better. I'am working on a [corv. classico cushendo] that I pick up from george when he had them on sale, I must admitted that is going to be a hard one to let sit. It...

Thanks Hippie that is one thing I don't want to do, I have a hard enough time waiting to let my wines age before I shoulddrink them.

Not sure I understand about the acidity. I always try and follow the kits to the letter, is there somthing else I should be looking to do to make my wine kits better.

Thank's Peter sounds easy enough.

Thanks for the input Martina that gives me somthings to work with. What do you mean when you say 7.36=13.58% Is that the valueof the beginning and ending of both of your sg readings

I was just wondering how you can check the alcohol content in your wine. I did buy one of those vinometer from george but find it very hard to read. Also if you want to make your wine alittle higher in alcohol how would you go about it. The kits i have made so far just don't seem to have the...
