Great Summer Wine

Get it chilled well and pour it into a glass and you have a great, somewhat tart riesling wine with a wonderful green apple finish. Really enjoyed drinking this wine this summer

nice kit

I would recommend this kit. It ferments fast. I'm ready to bottle after 4 weeks. Easy to follow instructions

Great tasting kit!

Great tasting kit. Added 2lb of sugar to the kit and came out with APV of 10%. Not too sweet or dry. Ordered a second kit to have more on hand. Drank some right after bottling and storing the rest a few months.

Great for Parties!

This white wine has been a favorite at our parties, so we are aging our second batch. We recommend it for summer, because it is a lighter-tasting wine.

First wine kit

I wanted to try a sweet wine kit that my wife would enjoy (so that I could get her hooked and I can spend more money) and it turned out great! Very easy to drink for wine drinkers and non-wine drinkers alike. Will definitely purchase again.

Great summer poolside adult beverage

This is definitely a summer wine. Great for cookouts, sip by the pool. I'm on my 2 kit. I use about half of the flavor pack because I don't like my wine too sweet, and have had no complaints from my guests.

Good stuff!

I am really enjoying this wine. I did modify it slightly, so keep that in mind. After reading some reviews for a similar kit, I added 2 cups of sugar and half of the flavor pack to primary. That resulted in an ABV of about 10%, with a very pleasant apple "bite" that really makes you want to take another drink. I expect that making it as advertised would result in a slightly fruitier, sweeter summertime drinker. Great job on the design of this one!

Definitely needs aging.

Not really anything I would serve to anyone at 30 days. Pretty harsh, not smooth, very dry. Hope it gets better with some aging. I've talked to some others that have made the same kit and had the same issue and they generally age it from 6 months to a year for a better flavor.

Just finished my second batch!

This is an easy to make and very refreshing Riesling. I normally only drink reds but this is fantastic ice cold on out on the boat in the summer. Very good without even aging but it only gets better!

Great tasting wine

I have been brewing beer for about 10 years and we decided to give wine a try with this kit being our first. It is a sure crowd pleaser and was fairly easy to make. I would recommend adding sugar though, as this turns out with a pretty low ABV if made with the kit alone. With that being said, it is a very refreshing and great tasting wine. We will make this again!

Very good even on bottling day

I have made 6 reds before this first try at a white. I was pleasantly surprised to find that on bottling day it was very tasty, crisp and refreshing. I added 5 pounds of plain sugar on day 1 to get an ABV of 13-14%. I am very impressed with the quality of this wine especially considering the price. All my friends raved over it. I am looking at buying a couple of the other tropicals. One thing I learned with this first white... be super careful racking leading up to bottling day or get a filter system. Sediment shows up bad in whites.

Great Summer Wine

Much to my surprise this wine is very well balanced on sweetness, not too sweet and not too dry. It seems to be everyone's favorite. The taste is light and flavorful, excellent choice for summertime patio drinking. My friends that have been lucky enough to get a sampling of this wine keep asking for more. This wine will be a summertime staple at our house. The only problem we have encountered is that we did not make enough to last the summer.

This was my first batch ??????????

The only problem was it didn't last long. Family and friends loved it. I'm making another batch very soon.

using this one for my wedding reception!

This wine kit turned out great! I ended up fermenting a couple weeks longer than the recipe called for because my refractometer is giving misreadings and I thought it wasn't finished fermenting. I had suspected an issue so I checked it later with a hydrometer and all was completely fermented at about 6 weeks. It may have fermented a little slower than expected but I will never know for sure because of my faulty reading, however the Riesling tasted very good even at bottling time. I can't wait to try this one after some time aging, I suspect a quality wine based on my initial tastings. I will be making this one again for sure!
