This Thursday I had the good fortune to meet tepe, his wife and son. I was in Philly on business and returning to CT so I swung by his homestead to meet up. Shortly after few kindred words about our home town of Norwalk CT and extending a hearty welsoming tepe shows me his wine making operation...

So I started this kit 2 months back on January 6th and just tasted it. It is very good, full and fruity with a little oak. I was suprised at how much body it has for being so young. I'll definitely do another cellar craft kits with a grape pack again. Just which varietal?

Specific Gravity is 1.00 and squeezed the grapes again 2 days ago, even more sweetness emmitted so I'll kept doing that until no more perceptable sugar. Kinda makes me wonder if I should have done the same with my merlot kit I got last montg. Next time I'll do the same with all kits with...

Yes , the tan cor grand cru, have some en route.

Hello All, just checking in. The Specific Gravity is 1.05 now and I put the Merlot Grape pack in I have from my last kit, still had some life in it.

Will do and thank you. I checked the specific gravity and we are at 1.09 with about a 1 inch head on it, looks like a Guiness Stout draft. :-) I stirred to my enjoyment and thencoveredit back up. I'll peek again Sunday.

Thank you all. I also have a grape pack from a cellar craft merlot kit that has some life left in it, I might put thatin there too.

Alrighty, I havethe kitcooking and have something to report back. First thing I noticed about the instructions what that they specifically stated leave the I the primary lid loose to allow oxygen. Also to stir daily to circulate, you all know I'm a "stirrer" so I liked that part...

Just ordered a Riserva Mondiale Cabernet Sauvignon.Thank you in advance George. I intend toadd Tan'cor Grande Cru to it after fermentation, sampled some additions @ Stache's place a few weeks ago and was very impressed with that product. Thank you Stache for sharing the experience!

Number 2 is my choice too.

Welcome aboard Mike! What is the sugarlevel of the watermelon you grow? Careful of the neighsayers, don;t let them discourage you. Spoilage can be controlled quite well with careful sulfite additions and temperature control throughout yourfermentations. Watermelon wine sounds great!
