hey Joan, I showed your comments to Stephany, she was definitely happy! Our labels will change, but slightly. I'm curious what "townhouse series" will change to... "SacTown Series"? Maybe a different logo, outline of a house?

@Joan... haha, of course!!! Very proudly, she graduates med-school (UTSW Med) and will start her internal medicine residency in Sacramento, CA (UC Davis Medical). We just visited and found our home and we'll start our road-trip in a couple of weeks. Being close to UC Davis (winemaking) and...

Thanks guys for the compliments, I hope the videos are useful! I filmed with a point-and-shoot camera, the Canon SD750, it's a great deal right now! The carboy is filled, with the Mosti Mondiale Meglioli Amarone... I just need to degas a little more (next episode) and then we'll move on to...

Ok sorry for not posting in a LONG time... the MALBEC is bottled!!! http://www.tintorecords.com/tv/69/epi-24-tintotv-our-first-bottling We used a lot of the gadgets from George and featured them here (@George - I've had a few people let me know they've clicked there way to new orders from you...

Thanks Ras! This wine is going to be a fun one to age! -Nico

Yeah! I have been tasting it as it evolves some... I am very impressed with how full-bodied the wine is and with the overall mouth-feel. This is my first kit, and the overall flavor profile is impressive... I'm happy so far. I need to pump out a little bit more gas, but it should be a happy...

Here's the brief blog post about it: http://tintoverse.com/blog/444/winemaking-first-label-design But if you just want to see it, here it is I'm not sure whether to print on a label (if there's a 3"x4" label) or whether I should just print on paper... it's a first for my wife and me...

So, I've been meaning to post here for a while, especially since picking up my Amarone kit from George: [Epi 21] TintoTV - making Amarone wine at home http://www.tintorecords.com/tv/66/epi-21-tintotv-making-amarone-wine-at-home [Epi 22] TintoTV - fermenting Amarone at home...

That looks spectacular!!! Can't wait to start my Amarone!

It's going well, thanks for asking!!! I don't think I remembered to post the next episode here after the wine-kit start. Malbec's primary fermentation: http://www.tintorecords.com/tv/61/epi-18-tintotv-wine-kit-primary-fermentation We actually already racked a long time ago (a few days after...

I'm also in the same boat! Anxious for this type of kit (never done one like this!). Meglioli Amarone, we're waiting! -Nico

hey David, thanks for watching the show! You bring up an excellent point about voiding the warranty; while I'm fully aware of this, I don't think we communicated this in the video (next time). Also, I agree with you about having a baseline and we're going to be very close to the instructions...

hey Jim, thanks for chiming in here! I certainly did get a great berry aroma - as this is our first kit, I wasn't sure if this was specific to this juice or just kits in general. I'll be sure to post up tasting notes as I test! -Nico

thanks for all the compliments we enjoy doing the show and wanted to share so that others don't feel so intimidated to start! yes, there will be film on the other parts (we've actually already filmed some that follows the primary fermentation, the racking, and into secondary fermentation - but...

So my wife Stephany and I excitingly started recently our first wine kit after working on 3 other batches (blackberry, strawberry, Welch's) and we eager to see how this turns out! In the spirit of our TintoTV show, we filmed our progress to help any other rookies like us out there (and for the...

that looks sooooooooooooooo COOL! I'm hoping to start one soon as well! Keep us up to date with more pics! -Nico

for those that attended the bottling party (a lot of fun!), I have some footage from the latest TintoTV show. I have been posting episodes occasionally on another thread, but I thought it would be appropriate to post here in case people wanted to see what the bottling party was about. "[Epi 14]...

Thanks for the extra tips everyone! That crushendo kit looks cool also! I wish, but $$$ can be a "gotcha" - any donations??? -Nico

I'm a big fan of Italian style wines, and in general appreciate both the new world and old world subtleties and bombs!!! (especially if they're red ) I'm trying to learn as much as I can about varieties I'm not as familiar with, and I have a particular curiosity for these wines from...

It was high in acidity, but not overly so - on my tasting so far, it gave the wine a really tight backbone and reminded me of some of the Tuscan style wines (which I like!) that make sure you feel the acidity up front. We'll see how it turns out! -Nico
