Well, I'm in a state of shock! I just got back from scouring all Liquor/Wine Stores in Southern Maryland looking specifically for some Barolo. I finally found some at the World Wine Shoppe in Waldorf - and the least expensive bottle is $46! The average was around $65. I'm still in shock!
My first batch of wine is a GranBarolo Master's Edition. Thought it would be nice to have a couple of different bottles of commercial wine to comparewith when mine is ready. So, I guess that will be one bottle.
We bought a bottle of Bene Di Batasiolo Barolo 2003 ($46) and a bottle ofAmarone Della Valpolicella Classico 2003 ($28), and called it a day. I could just about buy a whole kit from George for that amount and make 30 bottles! Am I ever glad I decided to try my hand at making wine myself. It's this - or the 5 liter boxes . . .
Cheers!
