Community Crush Chicago
/Winemaking. It can be mysterious and seem difficult. I want to start off by saying that anyone can make wine. But
without access to quality vineyards, equipment, winery space, and expertise, making a great wine is almost impossible. But thanks to Crushpad, the average person has access to all of this. Choose your varietal, and your grapes will be gathered from California or Bordeaux single vineyards, then turned into a full barrel (about 500 bottles)of great wine by their experts, with prices starting at $5,700.
Now if you don't want to make that kind of commitment, Crushnet might be for you. You can be involved with a community barrel, or one that you started with friends, with commitment starting at one bottle purchase. And for Chicagoans, we have been given the unique opportunity to become part of a remote hands on experience in the
creation of a wine. I have just become co-leader of Community Crush Chicago, an interactive experience with the 2009 vintage of the Two Pisces Vineyard Pinot Noir. For the low price of $26 per bottle, you will have access to a post-harvest grape tasting, winemaker Noah Dorrance, video updates and live streaming of the wine, post-fermentation and barrel sample wine tasting, designing of the label, and parties with your community of fellow Chicago winemakers! A full barrel of wine or 511 bottles will be made, so make sure join the group, reserve your bottles, and join the community.
