Just discovered an interesting approach to the wine business – set up a facility in the middle of a city full of wealthy entrepreneurs, silicon valley-esque millionaires where the more eccentric of the lot can make their own wine. Dogpatch WineWorks (http://www.dpwineworks.com) is doing just that. They leave their model open to some interpretation however – if you were so inclined you could create your own Wedding wine or a namesake wine for your restaurant.Potentially a cool idea – though that’s got to be an expensive operation. There is a tasting room on site which I am sure will be the primary money making operation.
What wine would you create if you could use any grape from anywhere in the world? And, what would you call it? Do you have different ideas for different things in your life?
My wedding: Prosecco from Italy; Petit Verdot from the Hunter Valley; Pinot Noir from Dundee, OR; Brandy from France…
First born: Pinot Gris (OR) or unoaked Chardonnay (WA), Sparkling from Dundee
Family reunion: Sparkling rose from Barossa, Muscadet, Shiraz from McClaren Vale/Barossa
Hhhmmmm I wonder if they have lifetime memberships at this place???
