Count me in. Winexpert™ Eclipse Napa Valley Stag's Leap District Merlot Wine Recipe Kit Made this kit before, and it was very nice.

I'd be so very happy if I won one of these, oh please, oh please....

I have actually already ordered some of the "shavings" from the link provided, since I could not find powdered. Just surprised the powdered is not available, since the kits from several different producers use the powder, and it seems to work so well. Thanks,

This was my first kit, and everyone liked it. I did add oak cubes during the secondary. I have a second batch sitting in a carboy right now with some oak slats in it, will probably bottle this weekend or next. For the price I think it is a very good wine.

I picked up four kits. With the three I have going now, I should be good for the rest of the year...:dg
