    Too much malolactic bacteria?

    WineXpert Eclipse Italian Piedmont vs LE 2012 ITALIAN NEBBIOLO

    I was taking a look at both of these kits today. I realize it's tough to compare a LE kit with a new kit that just came out but I would love to hear what people think. Do you think the LE kit is worth the extra $20? They both appear to be 18L kits with skins but maybe I am missing...
