I also made the Corvina Classico de Veneto this was the only crushendo i have made so for after six months it was a great tasting wine. I tried it now it is almost a year old now and I really did'nt notice that much differance in the taste. Bought the kit when George had the sale last year. I think I'am going to pick up that new Super Tascan. Masta let me know what your thoughts are when you try your corvina agian, it seem to been just as great at six months as it did after a year, just my opion. By the way George still waiting for the Stag Leap Merlot to go on sale, that was the most alsome wine I made to date and after one year of sitting it improved greatly. I running low hope it on sale soon.
I remember from Winestock during the presentation that the Crushendo's actually come around at 6 months. I was actually quite surprised. Does anyone else remember that when Tim had the graphs on the screen showing the age time required for each level of kit? It showed the Crushendo's right with the VR kits if I remember right.
If you want a sale price on the Stags Leap kit, heres how you get it. What you do is buy a whole bunch of stuff from George. After you spend a certain amount your become a member of the FVW Growers Club. You then get a discount on everything so in essence everything is on sale everyday!
After you reach that point you can combine that savings with all the other little perks like the multiple kit discount and for example like I did this month, the birthday discount and you can save quite a chunk of change.
I know when I left Dallas after visiting the store, I was more than quite pleased with the final total of my purchase that day. Nothing was on sale but I got quite a bargain by utilizing all the perks George gives you. There was some significant savings tallied up there that day.
Actually if you look around, the prices here are quite comparable and actually less than many places. Yeah, there are a few places cheaper and normally there is a reason, no customer service. I don't know about many, but that is a top priority for me and it has blessed my buying experience here more than once. And yes, I have ordered elsewhere and yes, I have had some bad experiences. Yes, I have gotten faulty products from here, BUT, it was fixed immediately.
So, there you have numerous tips on how to get a good price on what ever you seek in the wine making world!
