Learn Winemaking Secrets and Techniques

Columbia Crest Winery, set high above the Columbia River in Paterson, Washington, has a very clever program for its Cabernet Sauvignon.  The 2014 vintage will be Crowdsourced Cabernet.  What a great opportunity for neophytes and nerds alike!  Here’s your chance to be a part of the whole production from harvesting, to sorting, to barrel, to bottle.  With the gentle guidance of winemaker Juan Muñoz-Oca, you and your fellow crowdsourcers can make the decisions facing winemakers every day.  It’s a challenge but a great learning experience, rewarding and fun.  Imagine serving a bottle to your friends and telling them you helped make it!

Hurry.  Harvest is around the corner!  Be a part of the 2014 vintage of great Cabernet Sauvignon.  No cost.  No sweat.  No dirty hands.  What could be better? http://crowdsourcedcabernet.com/
