Make your own wine

Have you always wanted to give someone a bottle of wine, have them tell
you how good it is and then say, "Thanks, I made it!" Well, now you
can! Crushpad is this awesome company that lets groups of people (or just 1 person if you have a lot of dough and need a lot of wine) make wine with the help and guidance of professionals. They source the grapes, you choose the vineyard. You make a wine plan with the help of a professional winemaker, your grapes arrive, they get sorted and crushed with your help then go through all the proper fermentation processes with professional monitoring. So you have little chance of making bad wine!

If you live in the NY area, Crushpad is having an open house for prospective customers and friends of clients. Since I'm a client, and you're my friends, you should go! You can even make wine in SF from there - maybe plan a trip to SF to coincide with the arrival of the grapes - that's the fun interactive part. Then they'll send you tastes of your wine as it goes along. And you can always come back here and visit your barrel.

Cheers!
