The best kit wine Ive ever tasted is the one you just started. Masta on here gave me a bottle of this a few years back and all I can say is wow!

I started the Renaissance Barolo on May 19th and a Spagnols
Cru Select Barolo the week after. I just bottled the MM one and it tasted really really good !! and could well end up being one of my favorite reds. Compared to the Cru select it seemed to have a little more body. Next taste will be christmas at the 6 mnth mark.
I have not tried the Meglioli line but im guessing it will suprise you with how good it is.

I made the MM Meg Barolo about 6 months ago. It is still in the carboy, ready to bottle.

Never seen a kit wine that dark and thick. Because it is so dark, it was a little bit of a challenge to rack, since you can't see when sediment starts being sucked into the racking tube. I guess that is a good problem.

I am really looking forward to trying this about 2 years from now.

Mines coming up on 20 months, about 8 in the bottle, and it's delicious.

Now that gives me an excuse to try it sooner.

Fishegg, is your a MM Meg?

I generally am pretty good about waiting out a good wine. I'll give mine a try at the 20 month mark.

I chose to use the giant grape pack instead of raisins. Maybe someday we can swap a bottle, so we can compare Barolos, one with raisins to one with the grape pack.

Either way, it's going to be a great wine from kit.

Yes mine was the MM Meglioli. I did a Barolo and a Rojo Grande at the same time back in Dec 09. Both are some of the best wine I've made. I should note that I'm also getting more patient at giving them time to fully develop.

For the Meg. in 2009, I don't think we had a choice between raisins and a grape pack.

The optional grape pack, which comes with the Meg. now, is huge!

What did your Meg's come with and what did you use, raisins or grape pack?

Yeah i would def be willing to do that

No, there were no grape packs then, I just used the raisins. The raisins, however, were different than the ones I got with a recent MMM Syrah I bought. The 2009 kit ones were big, bigger that a nickel, the ones in my 2011 Syrah were small, like a Sunmaid raisin, some even smaller.
