These kits are a great step up in quality from a 4-week kit as they only add about 20 cents more to a glass of wine, but really improve the flavour. The cost to make it is less than a small to medium Tim Horton's coffee compared to a glass of wine. The feed back we are getting from our customers is that the finished wine is as good, as a lot of so called premium kits on the market.

Even though the manufacturer calls it a 5-week kit, when it comes to the reds we recommend leaving it for 6 weeks before bottling. The crushed grape pack in these kits give the wine a lot more flavour and aroma, but they need that extra week for the grape material to settle out before filtering. It is worth the wait

We carry the RJ Spagnol kits in this line. The RJ Spagnol kits use dried grape skins which give a more noticeable flavour. The really great thing about these wines is that they can be enjoyed very soon after bottling. We highly recommend these wine for weddings because of the high quality of the finished wine. We find that a lot of people making wines for weddings are new to the topic and don't really dring a lot of it. The solid feedback we are getting from these people is suprise at how good these wines are.

Global Cuvee Amarone

Cellar Craft - Think of Valpolicella on steroids.  It is the same blend of Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes, plus there is grape pack made with equal portions of California Cabernet and Barbera grapes and sun-dried red wine grapes.  The result is a robust wine with an earthy aroma backed by notes of spice and vanilla and an alcohol level above 14% which gives the wine a good mouth feel..  When young, concentrated flavours of black cherry and figs compete with un-mellowed oak and firm tannins.  6-months in the bottle will bring harmony to the flavours and softer tannins for a rich, well-rounded mouth feel and lingering finish.  Another year or two of aging will create a truly special wine which can be enjoyed like port or ready to take on your most robust foods like game, sticky ribs, rich pasta or blue cheese.  You will find it hard to find a kit this good for. $96.99
