Make Your Own Pinot Noir
Grand Cru Estates is a 13,000 square-foot winemaking facility breaking ground this month in the Yamhill Carlton AVA in Oregon. Partners Domaine Danielle Laurent and Bailey Estate Vineyards have created Grand Cru Estates as an exclusive winemaking club that lets members create a barrel (about 25 cases) of their own Pinot Noir. Each membership let's you interact with the winemaking team at the vineyard and in the winery to make sure you're getting exactly what you want. On top of that, membership also includes winemaking seminars, winemaking dinners, a biodynamic garden for member use and personal access to the winery for private events complete with your own personal concierge. Club membership is available immediately and the wine making starts with the 2008 fall harvest. The initial membership fee of $5,000 for the first 30 founding members, along with a $20,000 fee for each member barrel.
