Make your own California Cult Cabernet

An update about a company I wrote about earlier. Crushpad in San Francisco allows you to make your own wine. They help you buy the grapes and provide the facilities and expertise. Now, they have made arrangements with the top vineyards and wine makers to help you make your own Cult Cab.

From their press release:

For the My Cult Cab program, Crushpad will source fruit only from luxury-class vineyards that have a proven history of producing spectacular, high-end Cabernet Sauvignons, scoring up to 99 points from The Wine Advocate. During the winemaking process, consulting winemakers will actively provide Cabernet Sauvignon expertise, along with an extra level of attention on each wine. This includes rigorous fruit sorting to remove imperfect berries; extended maceration, if required; superior barrel treatment including 100% new French oak and the use of finishing barrels. Crushpad will complete the process by helping each customer create luxury-class packaging that will complement the wines in the bottle.

Of course, this might just be the opportunity to learn that great wines are more than just the grapes.
