Mezza Luna all the way. the only kit I've made twice so far and surprisingly good for a lower-end kit, especially after about 2-3 months (if you can wait!). I have the Luna Rossa on now, it's big brother - can't wait to try it.

sorry for the confusion! yes, $40 off! :slp In my excitement I forgot that wee little word... If they were on for $40 there wouldn't be any more room in my basement

I just picked up this kit, together with the Eclipse NZ Sauvignon Blanc - they are both on sale for $40.00 just this weekend so I got a great deal! I tasted the cab at the store (bottled 3 months ago) and it was absolutely awesome! Fantastic flavour....

I'm wondering if it's from the grape pack? I don't bulk age but still, even with racking you'd still lose a lot, I think. I lost about 5 bottles between the two kits (even after topping up with commercial wine).

I just bottled my Pinot Noir and Tempranillo this weekend - holy sludge at the bottom!!!! It totally clogged my filter and I ended up losing about 2 bottles because of all of the thick sludge.

jrvernon, right now is still hard to tell - it is fairly full bodied, but I only have my lower-end kits to compare it to, and where it's not cleared yet it might be too early to tell. The taste was pretty special - not too dry at all. Can you still get it in your area? If you like Malbec, I'd...

Just had my first "taste" out of the carboy (started this early-mid January) - wow!!!! what a fabulous taste already. I'm very impressed. I did top up with a commercial Malbec. Unfortunately, it's not clearing like it should - maybe I'm being too impatient but my other (cheaper) WE kits have...
