I've not been making much wine lately so the "wine fund" has been building up in the bank account. My red wine stocks are getting very low and I am determined not to break into the 70 litres or so of Wine Expert kits that have been bulk ageing for the last few months.
So.... I am distracting myself and treating myself to 3 new kits. Just ordered today from my LHBS. Also need to start something off with the freezer full of pears from my garden.
Reason for the thread... wondered if anyone has any hints or tips worth sharing on any of these kits? Otherwise, I'll follow the instructions. I'm just a bit nervous as the one of the kits is pricier than I normally go too and don't want it spoiling!!
1) Wine Expert International Series Amarone
I have never tasted Amarone in commerial wine, or home-brewed. Hoping it lives up to the hype.
2) Wine Expert Estates Series Lodi Ranch Cab Sav
This one set me back close on £100 and is the one I am nervous about spilling, spoiling or not getting my money's worth out of!! I hope my "investment" is worth it!
3) Wine Expert Ltd Edition Portuguese Douro Tinto.
LImited Edition which comes out in April I beleive. Got my name on one.
Wallet slightly lighter now
