Congrats Scott, looks great. You'll be hooked now! About having the 1/2 bottle left over, I too am new and was told by someone that when you get good at bottling; you'll always have a partial bottle left over to enjoy right then.
I have 5 more kits brewing and 1 in the box waiting to start.

Looks Great Scott!!
Just a note on your White Zinfandel you are making, when I make mine (Spagnol's kits) I add 2 cups of sugar boiled in some water and cooled when I bottle as the pack with the kit is not sweet enough for most tastes.
Scott, wow, very clear wine!!!! Did you filter this??? And I think there is a memo somewhere that when you have a 1/2 bottle left over you have to consume it.
I've not ordered it yet. I know I want a wine kit but I cant decide on the one I want. I like the fruit wines really well but I still want to have a kit around. There are to many choices.
