I am going to start the CC Showcase Cab/Shiraz kit early next week.
I was a bit confused by the instructions -
The kit has 2 oak packages - one oak powder and one oak shavings. Are both packages of oak to be added at the same time? I figure they should be, but am not sure.
Those of you who made the kit - how did it go and would you change any of the steps?
Seems if bulk aging, one might consider adding some oak during aging.
Has anyone actually tasted the finished wine, yet? My hopes are up that it will be a very nice blend... I love blends, anyway.
