Just curious if anyone is into making their own wine from kits. I've used many from Vineco (St. Catharines) with very good results (except for the occasional headache - ouch!). I'm especially fond of their merlot made with California grapes, next would be their Valpolicella (I don't think I spelled that right). I've also made Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Reisling, Gewurtztraminer, and now am making a Chianti for a friend. Let me know if you have any favourites and how they turned out. Kyle |

re: Wine kits
Hello kyle,
I don't personally make my own wine (too lazy, perhaps) but several close friends have over the years. As near as I remember, not one of them used the same kit over and and over. I checked with one of my friends who told me he didn't use kits at all but preferred to work from fresh juice. He has nothing against the kits (and thinks most make pretty good wine) but fresh juice was his choice. If you are in the Niagara region, you could probably buy juice directly from one of the wineries.
Cheers! -- Marcel
