Costco had the two pack of barolo + Cabernet sauv on sale for $40! I had to pick it up even knowing that it is generally considered a poor quality wine.
I picked it up mainly to try experimenting with and to have as a day-to-day wine while my more expensive kits (and good dragon bloods) get some age.
I've done some reading up on modifications and was wondering what others would do?
I personally love the dry/oaky/tannin flavors of a good Barolo so I don't want to change the flavor of that bag too much but am wide open to experiment with the Cabernet.
what I really want to do is improve the flavor and body to make them drinkable soon.
Here is what I was planning:
Barolo:
8 bananas (ripe, cut, frozen then thawed)
2 tsp pectic enzyme
1 tsp tannin
Raisins (will this change the flavors?)
1 package French oak cubes to primary
Cabernet:
3lb frozen strawberry
8 bananas
2tsp pectic enzyme
1tsp tannin
Raisins
Anything else people suggest!
