$85.57 now...how much lower will they go?

Drank it myself, with friends and family, and used it to top off carboys of other wines, and used it to cook with.

It might be a while before I will be able to use it. I am hoping to get a couple pails from MWS in a month and some fresh grapes this fall. Yes, a 4 gallon basket Tom.

I just started to get interested in small time wine making. This summer I'm going to have a small crop of strawberries (75 or so plants...125 or so pints!) and want to turn some of this crop into some nice wine. I have thought about getting the same kit that mjdtexan ordered a couple days ago...
