Hi to all,
Just curious about this: I got into using CC wine kits in August 2010, and initially made a Classique Merlot, and a Classique Pinot Noir - these were $60 cheapies and pretty much all my LHBS had on the shelf. Those wines are now coming on 9-10 months, and are more or less drinkable. Not fabulous, but on a par with a cheap by-the-glass wine at a cheap restaurant - after all, these were simply 7.5 litre kits, no crushed grape packs etc.
Thing is, I'm darned if I can tell any difference between the Merlot and the PN =:O
I now make only the Showcase kits, as they seem like serious contenders, but would be interested to see if anyone has experience with the Classique cheapies, and has noticed the same thing.
thanks for any feedback
