I had the pleasure to visit San Francisco's newest and most popular custom wine facility, Crushpad. Based in the "dogpatch" district of San Francisco, they offer customers the opportunity to create and craft their own barrel of wine. Their customers range from groups of friends to small commercial enterprises with the ability to purchase grapes from over 40 different vineyard sites and be active in the entire process from bottle to label. The team was amazing with my thousands of questions, answering them with patience and humor. It is exciting to see so many people with a passion for wine.

Next stop City winery in New York. Making wine is becoming the new luxury hobby to indulge in!
