Just pulled the trigger on the WE Oregon Pinot Noir.

 

[SouthernChemist]

Decided to get the KenRidge Australian Shiraz/Grenache and the RJS RQ Spanish Monastrell/Petit Verdot. Splitting a WE Oregon Pinot Noir with a friend (she's making it, though).

 

[Jericurl]

I just ordered the Winexpert LE2013 Pacific Quartet. It's ridiculous how excited I am.
It's supposed to ship in February. I hope I get it in time for my birthday. It'll be my birthday present to myself.

 

[H2O]

They are cheaper than the regular priced so why not pre-order:

RQ2014 - Spanish Monastrell Petit Verdot
Kendridge - Shiraz/Grenache
Kenridge - Grand Red II -x2
Mosti Meglioli - Barolo Meglioli

Great choices. I didn't order any of those and wish I had ordered them all. So many wines and so little time.

I've added to my list.

So now its:

1) Kendridge Tempranillo Garnacha
2) RJS Torrontes
3) WE South African Shiraz Cabernet
4) RJS Monastrell Petit Verdot
5) WE Australian Grenache Rose

First two are cleared. The Shriaz/Cab is on deck. #4 and #5 have not yet arrived. 4 should be this month, 5 in April.

 

[byathread]

I kinda wish I'd ordered the Torrontes as its a varietal I really enjoy. I even think George still has a few, but 7 kits in 5 months in our tiny house has the wife annoyed already. Hopefully enjoying some of finished products this summer will change her mind. Besides, I think my next few kits will be the Showcase OVZ, Merlot and possibly Eclipse Chardonnay. Oh yeah, and I planned to make a couple lower end kits before making those.

Good job me, you talked yourself out of the Torrontes at least.

Yeah, but you really should make it. ::

 

[Dino466]

jees, I think Boatboy is a divorce lawyer (or gets a commission from one). Yes sometimes the wifes get upset when you have 7 carboys on the go and 2 in the primary and 3 on deck - my only saving grace is she really doesn't like wine - and since more then half of what I own is wine - I am safe for now

 

[tonyt]

I never mentioned what I settled on.
In carboy;
KS tempranillo granacha
KS Shiraz Granache
In primary KS grand red
On deck MMM chardonnay del veneto & MMM amarone
On the way MMM old vine zin.

Its the OVZ that I am most excited about. Never done one and can't wait.

Yep, the certificates are posted to our accounts. AND George has announced $15.00 off all limited release kits still in stock. I ordered the RJS Nero d'Avola for $101.00 less the $60.00 certificate. Forty bucks for a LE kit aint bad. The Megliolis are under $150.00. As I have been typing three items have disappeared from the in stock list.

Talk about a sweet deal! I was going to pull the trigger on the MM Meg Barolo but it flew away faster than I click my mouse!

Jim, if you haven't ever made the MM Barolo, I would highly recommend it. I finally gave in after bottling only two months ago to try a bottle yesterday and wow!!!!

This thing had such a strong aroma from a few feet away. The finish on this is super long and lingering, like sweet smoke and tar. The flavour description said blackberries and violets and truffles. I couldn't taste the truffles, but man I got major hits of flowers and berries. One other plus is that could not detect that dreaded kit taste I have come across in all kits I have made so far.

Apparently this one takes about 2 years to age, but from what I tasted yesterday it is going to be had to get there.
