Not the Kenridge one, but I made the California Connoisseur Vieux Chateau du Roi a while ago, and it's lovely. It's gone down well as tastings on my homebrew stall (with those that like a full-bodied red anyway). I will definitely do this one again.

Just out of interest, I was once told that there wasn't much difference between the Kenridge, Beaverdale and CC kits. Is this true?

Vieux Chateau du Roi, for those that don't know, is the kit maker's name for Chateau Neuf du Pape (or Chateauneuf du Pape, if you prefer).

I don't know about Beaverdale because that brand is not available in Canada. Also, over here, CC usually means Cellar Craft, but I'll assume that you mean California Connoisseur. Both Calif Conn and Ken Ridge brands are made by Vineco in St Catharines Ont Canada. The Calif Conn (7.5 l box) is the lesser of the brands, then Ken Ridge Classic (10 litre box), Ken Ridge Showcase (16 litre box), and Ken Ridge Founders Series (18 litres plus grape skins in the reds).

I'm a big fan of the Ken Ridge Classic Merlot, and the Ken Ridge Showcase. I keep saying that I'm going to make the KR Classic VCR but haven't. I also want to get around to trying the Founders Series.
