As a further note to Rocky's excellent suggestions, Yellowtail is a bit off-dry. Perhaps you should make one of the kits above, but then experiment with mild backsweetening. (Be sure to use the sorbate.)
I have a question. first of all, Yellow Tail is considered a "value wine" not really expensive, around $7.50 to $8.50 a bottle in Florida. I consider all Yellow Tail as a good wine, not a fantastic wine such as those costing 2 or 3 times that or more. I often buy that myself. I am pretty much a value wine drinker.
I think the above suggested kits run from $90 to $150 a kit. No question as to whether they are good kits that produce a great wine.
Having said that, wouldn't some cheaper kits (say WE or world vineyard at around at 75 to 95 bucks) make a wine as good as Yellow Tail. I was under the impression (very well may be wrong) that those level of kits would make a wine equal to a bottle costing from near $ 7 to $12 a bottle.
YOur opinion is very much appreciated.
Rocky - would the CCWS Grenache Shiraz be the same or close to the Ken Ridge 2014
