They have an off taste to them . Almost like a fruit forward , but that
isn't what it is . They do not have the body that they should .
I guess it is kind of fun to try and make them palatable , but if I can't
make a premium wine kit that is at least as good as a bottle of Woodbridge
Select , then why bother . I don't want to sound snobbish , but for a
hundred bucks , it should at least be drinkable ...... to me . Everyone
that I give the bottles of wine to love it . Either I am very picky , or
they don't want to hurt my feelings .

At least all of my Stout comes out great .
