We are very excited about the quality and pricing of these kits.  RQ kits will be available in January 2010 (2 kits), February, March and April. Please review the descriptions for these quality wine kits below and order early. These 16l kits produce 23l (6 gal) of finished product (30 750ml bottles) and are a great value. All RQ kits also include a FREE set of matching labels to further enhance the appearance of your fine wine.

RQ1 Ehrenfelser

  from Pfalz, Germany

 

This refreshing white is cross between Riesling and Silvaner, this wine is aromatic and very fruity, with peach and tropical notes abounding and with just a hint of rose petal as well. The flavor is fresh and inviting with mineral notes, hints of orange rind and a lingering off-dry finish.

Food Pairings: Goes great with spicy Indian, Thai or Chinese dishes, or a nice afternoon on a sunny patio!

RQ2 Malbec Syrah

  from Mendoza, Argentina

A new world spin on an old world wine! This blend of 2 classic red Bordeaux varietals creates a full-bodied wine with plenty of appeal. The wine is fruit forward and approachable, with balanced toasted vanilla flavors from Hungarian Oak Cubes. The wine has hints of cherries and black currant up front, with darker, richer notes of coffee, tobacco and licorice behind. Round and smooth with balanced tannins and a very easy drinking wine.

Food Pairings: A good solid match for grilled foods as well as heartier meat dishes like Steak and Kidney pie or Osso Bucco.

RQ3 Torrontes 

from Calchaquies Valley, Argentina

The signature white grape of Argentina, this fragrant white grape is related to Muscat , and is one of the ‘aromatic varietals’ distinctive to Argentina and grown no where else in the world. While the wine’s bouquet is rich with tropical fruits, honey and sweet floral notes, the flavor is unexpected—crisp and refreshing with a vibrant acidity, citrus notes and a hint of spice with an enduring finish.

Food Pairings: Great just with conversation, but also pairs well with seafood, spicy ethnic foods or the classic Argentinean hand held snack—Empanadas.

RQ4 Trio do Vinho Tinto 

from Alentenjo, Portugal

Aside from the simple fact that even the name sounds great, rolling off the tongue so much better in Portuguese than English (Trio of Red Wines), this dark red wine is an intensely flavorful blend of Aragones (Tempranillo), Cabernet Sauvignon, and Trincadeira.

The bouquet is rich with red berries, anise and black pepper. The palate is well balanced with many layers of complexity. Initially there is fruitiness followed by notes of mushroom and earth. Rich tannins from the American Heavy Toast Oak spiral and Cabernet GenuWine Winery skins help give this wine a long finish.

Food Pairings: Pair this wine with red meats, Chorizo or other cured sausage or a strong cheese.

RQ5 Cabernet Franc Merlot 

from Stellenbosch, South Africa

This wine is rich in every way—deeply colored, aromatic and very flavorful. The nose has green and black pepper and a hint of spice. It is full bodied with a fruit component—cassis, followed by a later of darker flavors—cigar box and leather. There are chewy tannins from the GenuWine Winery Cabernet/Merlot grape skins.

Food Pairings: This wine will pair beautifully with foods such as goat cheeses, game birds, bagaganoush or curries.
