Inside a Crew
You’re not alone in this.
A Crew is 20-50 people following the same vintage at the same vineyard.
You talk to each other. You talk to the winemaker. You taste together, decide together, drink together.

Brix update: 23.8, pH 3.62. We're close.
Marie (winemaker)· 1 hour ago
Leaning Friday dawn. 18% chance of rain Saturday. Anyone have strong feelings?
David Park· 1 hour ago
The rain would worry me. Friday makes sense.
Jenny Lau· 45 min ago
Friday. Let's not get cute.
Marie (winemaker)· 30 min ago
Friday it is. Dawn pick. 5am livestream. (You already have the verijuice — save some for the “before and after” comparison.)

- Barrel samples — quarterly pulls during aging
- The finished, bottled wine with Crew attribution
- Livestream access to picks, blend trials, and bottling day
