Select your vintner as you would any professional service. How much wining experience and product knowledge does the vintner have? Has the vintner competed in any international wine competitions? What wine making techniques are utilized?

What is the quality and variety of the raw materials. And this includes the quality of the water (especially if you are reconstituting a kit wine). The appearance of the winery: is it clean, organized and well stocked? Are you offered a winery tour? Are the staff friendly, informative and helpful? These are some of the criteria to be considered for a quality result: your finished wine.

Wine-making is not instant gratification!

Plan a wine strategy and build a wine portfolio that addresses special occasions and food experiences. The required time for maturation of your wines is one of the most important assets to a conscientious wine maker. Wine-making is a fun and sociable event. It’s a never ending learning experience and you can travel the world at your kitchen table with your friends and family. Salute! So develop your passion and become a vintner that loves…the fine art of wining!

• Now enjoy commercial quality wines!
• First time ever! Wine kits with a crushed grape pack!

Cellar Craft International has created a breakthrough in wine-making technology!

They have mastered a production process to shelf-stabilize “Crushed Grapes” in their ultra-premium red varietal wine kits. This is Cellar Craft’s “Exclusive Grape Pack”. So now you can enjoy commercial quality velvety Merlots, elegant Syrahs, blockbuster Cabernet Sauvignon-Shirazs, spicy Zinfandels and an absolutely intense and powerful Armarone style wine! Because these varietal juices are “vinted on the skins”, extra extraction of aromatics, flavour, colour and body are captured during the fermentation stage. The finished wines show a character and complexity never before possible from a kit! Truly a quality breakthrough! These extraordinary kits are a must for the wine collector who appreciates age worthy wines. So come on in and chat with The Winer at The Towne Winer and learn more about how good – and how inexpensive – these commercial quality wines can be!

I made my first batch of wine with Towne Winer, and I have to say that they made it a very enjoyable experience……they spend a lot of time with me to make sure that I was getting the wine that I liked and I was not just settling with anything

I continue to enjoy making wine at the Towne Winer and getting all my sponsorship gift baskets made up there.
The quality of the wine is superb and I’ve had many compliments. The baskets are always unique and contain both my TW wine and interesting wine accessories.
I heartily recommend the whole Towne Winer Experience!

Always great wines. We have yet to have a batch we were not thrilled with. Good enough to convince my wine-snob sister-in-law that non-commercial wines are not to be shunned! And there's generally a good conversation while you're bottling too!

Elizabeth Reemeyer, a Cambridge client and long-time friend of The Winer and Liz says what sets The Towne Winer apart from the other DIY on-premise places is how clean everything is kept.

"When you're making a food product, cleanliness is not optional, it's essential. The music is on, the expert is on-site if I have any questions. The Winer has great instincts when it comes to knowing what to do to bring out the best in a varietal."
