have you made any other kits from them? wonder about the quality of their products.

I think the Malbec will be closest choice for you. I have made all except the Trinity Red. Sangiovese is our most popular, then Barolo, tempranillo and malbec.

I have same kit, started at 1.065. added grape skins. two days in a row at 1.080 Read the blog and printed it. Feel relieved.

Italian Sangiovese from Winexpert has received the best reviews so far. We have not been disappointed with any kit yet, includes Winexpert and RJ Spagnols. In trying to decide which kit, I look up the types of wine offered by the kit makers and then buy a commercial bottle of same type for...

Thank you for reply. The Amarone is quite potent on the alcohol level. One bottle gives a "do not drive under the influence" effect. The tartness is probably why I we thought it was young tasting. I like it, wife doesn't. Oh darn.

I did the WE Sangiovese. Aged it for a year in a carboy before bottling. Two friends are very knowledgable about wine and wanted to buy everything I had left of the kit. No deal, wife's favorite wine. I top off with a similar wine, never water. Degas with a vacuum system. My amarone did...

Not as much fun as::::: Making wine is fun. Drinking it is better.

Thanks Robie, I missed that in his website. Will have to slow down and read more. Of course, if I did that, I would order so much that I would need a loan. I will definately check the packs. It does make wine better.

I started the same kit on 3/31. It appears that fermentation has stopped. I will be checking it tonight when I get home from work. If SG is at recommended level, I will rack it down. Such fun. I have been concentratiing on using kits lately. I stick to directions, not enough confidence to...

When I first started, I went to a Wine kit store. They were extremely helpful. The way I answer the question is: fermenting bucket, carboy, autosiphon, SG reader and vial for taking reading (tall tube on a Base to put juice and reader into), wine thief, bottle filler wand, carboy and bottle...

My disaster First kit, full of adrenaline, no patience, no thought process. Original eqipment was glass fermenting bottle and funnel. Insert funnel, open kit and start to pour. Out pops funnel from air back draft. Only about 1/2 gallon of 6 gallon kit in bottle. Juice flying everywhere...

Home made wine vs store I just started my 3rd kit, Italian Sangiovese. Ageing a French Merlot and Italian Amarone. Love the dry red style wines. The kit wines I have tasted have beat many commercial wineries. Plus, this has tremendously expanded my tastes in wine. Used to be dry red...
