Everyone loves a bargain – Calgary Herald AuctionMart

Posted by Steve | November 15th, 2011

Everyone loves a bargain. Auctions are usually a great place to get just that. Of course, sometimes a few weird items like a tooth of John Lennon’s is on the auction block and that could go for quite a penny. Did you hear about that? A dentist in Alberta bought it. It’s his idea of gaining publicity for a book he wrote. I suppose it might work. But never mind the weird and wacky, everything in this auction is a little more. . .shall we say, appealing to the masses.

If you’re looking for a great price on premium wine kits or a single-cup coffee brewer look no further than the Calgary Herald Auctionmart. We put a few fantastic products in the auction and we’re hoping that everyone that’s interested can take advantage of this great sale. Follow the link below, you don’t need to register to browse. If you decide to bid on something you’ll need to register but that’s quite painless. Good luck with your bidding, I hope you find something you love and get a great deal on it.

Wine Kitz Wine Tasting. November 25, 2011

Posted by Steve | October 27th, 2011

**Update: 89% Sold Out. **

This is the one you’ve all been waiting for. We are holding a wine tasting that will knock your socks off.

I often hear from you that you’re interested in ordering one or more of our limited releases but you just don’t know what to expect. Well you do not need to wonder anymore. We are holding a gala, black-tie event (Just kidding) but it will be outstanding just the same. I will be dressed in my best Wine Kitz apparel, as will all my staff. It’s the first you’ll see all of us together in one place.

Please watch the video, it’s only two minutes long. It will give you all the details you need. If for some reason you can’t see the video, (you may consider buying a computer that was made this century), but until then just call us and we’ll be happy to fill you in on the details. I really, really want you to take a peak at the video. I know how many people watch them because YouTube has a counter and I can tell that many just won’t spend the couple of minutes watching. So please humour me and watch the video. I would really appreciate it. Share it on Facebook, tweet about it, tell all your wine making friends. It’s going to be one heck of an event that you’ll be talking about for years to come. I’d like to stress that this is a wine tasting and not a wine drinking event. Drinking and driving will not be a concern even if you’re coming alone. In fact, I’ll also have some gourmet coffee from Kienna Coffee. If you haven’t tried our coffee pod brewer yet, now’s your chance.

 

When: Nov 25, 2011

Time: 7-9 pm

Where: Varsity Acres Community Centre 4303 Varsity Dr. N.W.

(2 blocks east of my store)

There are only a limited number of seats so please get in touch with us and reserve your seat now.

Posted by Steve | August 22nd, 2011

Tempranillo wine Day 2

I started a Sommelier Reserve Spanish Tempranillo from Wine Kitz on Saturday. Today I took a peak and picture. It’s coming along perfectly. I don’t know about you but I love the smell of fermenting must. Once ready I will be barrel ageing this wine in Oak for a short time.

Have you made one? If so how has it turned out? Please comment below.

Details:

Type: Tempranillo

Yeast: Wyeast Chianti #4244

Additives: Light toasted oak chips. Varietal Grape skin pack, Bentonite.

Water: Purified RO water.
