I bought some buckets that were refrigerated the whole time and about the same age, without yeast. When I opened them up checked they were finished fermenting. They were ok, drinkable but I wouldn't do it again and I got them for $20 a bucket from a reputable dealer . You get what you pay for...

My wife and I are sitting out having pizza and Lambrusco from a bucket of juice from Italy 2011. It's great , a little frezanti who h is as it should be. I sweetened it up just a bit. It will be our summer red drank chilled. I paid less than $50 a bucket and will do 3 this fall! Delish!!!

I did the Sonoma dry creek a year and a half ago and its very good. I don't appreciate the oaked chards so i did it by the letter. Around 1 year it was great and we;re still enjoying it. About a case left. Time to start another batch ! God bless, Ed

Exactly right, even the entry level kits will improve with age. Ive given bottles to some of my wine maker friends after they are 1 1/2 to two years of age and give the wines my own names, they dont know what they are and they are very impressed. Thy think i made them from grapes. God bless, Ed

Brunello I made the first Brunello 2 years ago and just started drinking it. It is very tasty. I never had a store bought one, so I can't compare, but it is a great wine. I'm making another this year and will let it alone for two years. I let my reds age 2 years and they all are delish. You...

I made this kit a little over a year ago . No problems. I didn't de gas it though. just keep a bottle in the basement fridge standing upright. Everyone loves it so far. I just pour carefully and the sediment is in the last 1/2 inch of the bottle no problem. Good luck. God bless Ed

Where did you get it at that price? GOD BLESS,Ed
