I'm in the market for a new winter wetsuit. Want something for the really cold winter sessions. Any suggestions.

The quality of wetsuits now days is just soo good!
Most mid-range to higher end range suits from the majority of manufacturers are going to keep you toasty in the winter.
I have the a mixture of Mystic, Animal, NP and O'neils suits and once all the seals are in good condition, they are nearly semi-dry suits.
If it's primarily for kiting just remember to get one with ankle straps! nothing worse than cold water shooting up your legs in winter

I have been using Patagonias R3 WETSUIT FOR WHAT IS NOW MY 4 OR 5th season......only 3mm so extremly comfy, very lite and not a single stick out on the suit in 4 years. Best investment ever. I use it in January in the snow with a thermal rash vest. My exel infinity wetsuit fell apart after a season....pure rubbish. By the best....Patagonia. Make sure its the chest zip as back zip is prone to flush. You will not be sorry.
