Regina vs Home Wine vs Calif Specialty

[ldmack3]

I ordered 4 buckets of Regina Juice from Winejuice.us and got 1 Regina, 1 Home Wine Brand and 2 Calif Specialty.

Cost of shipping (Houston) and temp etc, etc. I kept and started them..no choice really. But does anyone have any experience with the Home Wine or Calif Specialty brands? I ordered the Regina based on comments here but don't see aything for Home Wine or Calif Specialty.
No reply yet from Juan on why the substitution.

I must say the packaging was outstanding. 3 days to Houston and they were all still at about 50F so I put brew belts on them overnight.

Thanks
Les

I have used the home wine brand as well as Regina with the same results

The juice is fine, the pricing is a bit pricey, where are you located?

I pay around $50 to $60 a bucket from Pittsburgh

Cypress...close to Houston
Total of 6 buckets with freight = $1000.
Packed in dry ice on a pallet wrapped in plastic. 3 days they were between 50 & 60F when unpacked. Just starting to ferment.
Buckets are $60-80 but getting any fresh juice here is freight expensive. Most won't even ship this far.
PA and those up north are so lucky when it comes to fresh juice.
