Okay, yeah so I know it's got to age. Bottled my first batch last Tuesday, set a bottle aside with a vacuum cork in it for sampling. So here's the deal, I'm impatient, so I tried a little last night just to see if I had done any good. It's a Pinot Char, from Cal. Con. Looks great, taste kind of bland though, watery if that makes sense, very little mouth feel and just a touch off dry. I'm really hoping that this will change with time. Am I in too big of hurry? Will this kit get much better with age? I've got a batch of Merlot in the primary now..

Bottle shock: Yeah I have heard that mentioned before, guess I just didn't know what to expect. I mean the wine was pretty decent the day I bottled it, but last night it was just kind of wierd tasting. Guess I better leave it alone for a while and crack open a few bud lights instead.
Dave, Steve,
Thanks for giving me some hope.. I guess I'm going to have to settle for some store bought wines until this stuff get old enough to drink. Glad it won't have to be 21 yo for that.
Think I'll head off to the basement to check on my merlot and maybe put the shrink caps on my white.
