Any insight would be helpful...
We went to a tasting event last night for the WineExpert Limited Edition wines for this year. It was a packed venue, with a fabulous speaker who described the wines and grapes in fantastic detail with the power point presentation to highlight. All of those present who regularly buy the LE kits were raving about how great they are every year. We were so excited about the choices and couldn't wait to taste test!
What a disappointment. The flavours seemed to be mediocre at best, body was lacking, and to be honest, our Cheeky Monkey kits appeared to make far superior wines.
Am I missing something? Was it just me? Do I need to look at these as items that require much more cellaring? Would it really improve them that much? Or do we have 'cheapie' wine kit tastes? Has anyone else tried these? I have generally liked the WE kits!
Again, it was so disappointing for us as we had been looking forward to this for quite awhile and were really pumped to purchase and start one of these kits.
