04 Small-lot Sparkling Wine production is now available at Crushpad - Mike Zitzlaff
Crushpad has never been able to make sparkling wine before because it requires some very specialized equipment. They recently teamed up with Rack & Riddle, which is known for their sparkling wine production capabilities. Now you can make your very own bubbly. For those of you that haven't signed up this year because you didn't want to do a whole barrel or you just wanted to add a 1/4 or 1/2 barrel more, this year Crushpad is doing two new things. (1) YOU can be making your own sparkling wine - both a blanc de blancs and a blanc de noirs and YOU can make sparkling wine in as little as 1/4 barrel increments, starting at $28/bottle. (2) They are offering wine making in half barrels lots (110+ liters), equivalent to around 12 cases, unlikely the typical 220+ liter barrel. Think in terms of signature future weddings, family reunions, holiday gifts, personal satisfaction!
