Chateau Classico 6 Week Wine Kit, Italian Dolcetto, 40-Pound Box

I bought this kit along with a Cab Style back in October. I bottled them January 2, 2010. So far the wine is aging nicely. It has started smoothing out considerably. With a couple of more months of aging I expect it to be a very drinkable wine. Considering that it is $40-50 less than other kits I have made, it holds up well against those kits. I bought this one not only for the price point, but also because it is one of the only Dolcetto kits available.

I was a little disappointed that no oak was included in this and the Cab kit.

All-in-all, one will not be disappointed with the results, and a little tinkering may make it even better.

Update 12/20/2011: I have subsequently made another Dolcetto, this time adding oak chips for a week after stabilizing and fining. This has really added some body to the wine and has improved the finished product immensely.

I added 1 pound frozen sweet cherries to must and allowed to ferment fully. After 2nd racking, allowed to bulk age with french oak for 6 months.

After bottling, allow at least 2 months aging in bottle before drinking.

Improves as it ages. Actually quite pleasant to dink!

I don't follow kit instructions: I do a 1-step fermentation in 6-gal glass carboy and then do my first racking; after approximately 30 days; I rack again and add oak sticks; I pitch all the additives that come with the kit and make wine the natural way.

Eden Foods Organic Brown Rice Vinegar -- 10 fl oz

A clean, clear-tasting vinegar. I make a lot of Japanese food, and this is the the ideal brown rice vinegar for that application.

I use this rice vinegar in my sushi rice and when making a sauce to dip my sushi in. For the sauce I use one part brown rice vinegar to one part soy sauce. I've gotten many complements on that combination. I also love that this rice vinegar is made from brown rice and that it is organic. I highly recommend it.

Ulimana Dark Cacao Truffles

i love chocolates. This chocolate Truffles were okay. I liked that It wasn't that sweet but it wasn't Melt in your mouth yummie good. Enough said.

I've ordered this twice, loved it both time but second time it tasted stale. Would have given it 5 stars if it was consistently fresh.

When it comes to chocolaet you get what you pay for. Organin, raw, dark chocolate. Chocolate is one of the superfoods, at least this chocolate is. These are creamy little truffles. If you do not like dark chocolate do not buy.

I could eat these all day long--but I won't. They taste too good, so I know stuffing myself with even organic truffles would in some way be detrimental to my health.

But still...eating a few a day won't hurt me. And as I said before, they are absolutely delicious!

I found this product in a grocery store approximately 3 years ago. It is the best mix that I have found and everyone that trys my margarita says it is the best one they have ever tasted and wants the 'recipe'. I like the fact that even though it is a powder mix, it is all-natural. I travel to the beach quite a bit and have found that is easy to cart in a cooler (no glass) and just pour over ice. It is also good blended with strawberries or mango puree. When I make mine, I follow the instructions including using Triple Sec but I usually mix 2 or 3 tequilas (white and gold)and add a little Gran Marnier or Cuantro. It is great to have it mixed up, ready to go in the refrigerator. You can also freeze it in the bag and 'squeeze' out for a fast slushy drink.
