Default need help improving quality

Scott,
If you'd like to try the higher end kits or would like more information on
what kits seem to be the most popular, take a look at www.finevinewines.com.
The Discussion Forum is very helpful, friendly, and well moderated. I've
ordered kits from them before and I'm very happy with the service provided
by the owners. Good luck!
