RJ Spagnols What's your Favorite Strawberry Kit Wine?

[JoyofWine]

I want to start on a Strawberry wine and wanted other's opinion on their favorite kit. Or if they've tried any of them before.

Orchard Breezin' has two, Strawberry Riesling, and Strawberry White Zin. Which I am thinking is now, Strawberry Sensation (white), and Splendid Strawberry Blush.

Then Island Mist has a Strawberry White Merlot, but I'm not to sure about that one...I thought Merlot was red, not white?

they have a white Merlot. I know several wineries that make it

 

[JoyofWine]

Oh ok thanks.

Neither of those choices are "strawberry" wine, rather they are the wine of the base grape (ex. Strawberry Riesling is Riesling wine) with a strawberry flavor pack that is added after fermentation.

Real strawberry wine will require strawberrys, sugar, water and yeast. Oh, and time.

And aside from some concentrates (http://www.midwestsupplies.com/strawberry-vintner-s-harvest-fruit-bases.html), I know of no "strawberry" wine kit.

CAD~ Sorry if I worded it incorrectly. I guess I meant "Strawberry FLAVORED" wine kit. I've made about 5 or 6 of the Orchard Breezin, and only 2 of the IM. I seem to prefer the OB, so I just wanted those who may have made or tasted one of these kits to give me their opinions of which they liked better.

She wanted a kit! She is in the Kit thread.
Just go with the kit of your choice Joy. Go to Midwest supplies. they review plenty of their kits there But then again that why I chose the Wild Berry Zin. Yessss, I know its not true Zin!

WE did the Strawberry Merlot and really like it!

 

[JoyofWine]

Lol thanks Tess, I thought since I listed the 3 people would get what I meant. I'm not ready to try a from scratch fruit wine on my own yet. The Wild Berry Zin sounds yummy too! Let me know how it turns out!

Thanks Sammy!

But it IS a true Zin, it just has the flavoring added to it. Oh, and the Wild Berry Zin is a great wine in its own way.
