That's cool to hear Wade because at $39 a bucket, the Grenache is definitely priced right! 
I bought their Pinot Noir tonight in the meantime on my way home from work, and already have it warming up and absorbing oxygen in the primary before I yeast it up tomorrow morning. Their Pinot Noir is excellent from year to year, and this is my second batch started of it since last fall. The cab they sell is always hit-or-miss for some reason, with this year being a miss unfortunately.
This is the first year I tried the Barbera, and it's fruit heaven and my wife loves it. It wont age, but even perfectly dry it's like candy. It's currently oaking, and I'll bottle in 6 months and drink before 2 years. Their Shiraz and Lambrusco are also very good, and those are bulk aging now.
I really like trying these different grape varieties. Some of them are as different from each other as elderberry is from chokecherry. Plus they're half the price of a kit and a lot easier. No messing with added water and stuff.
