I think that it is a pretty good wine. Of course, you have to keep your expectations in check and the description is a little misleading in my opinion. They say that it is, "full-bodied with a robust flavor," but it is more light- to medium- bodied with good flavor. Mine fermented very dry, 0.993, and I have been playing with backsweetening, although at this level of dryness I have been considering carbonating it too. I am also considering the Midwest offer to buy more. Maybe a couple of bananas in the primary or a different yeast. I definitely would not try to make one batch out of two kits; like Rocky said, it would present you with a slew of issues. If you get the two-for-1, it might, I am going to stress the might, be worth it to make one batch to only five or five and one half gallons like some people do with the Vino Italiano kits, but even then you will have to test to keep your acid and alcohol levels in order.
