Members of the group will help make decisions on how the wine is made and can participate in the winemaking, if in the San Francisco area. You can also contribute to conversations with guest winemakers, and other celebrity guests who'll be visiting during winemaking.
How Does it work?
Well, you click the Join Group link in the bar above, and toss me a message from the page that pops up. I'll then confirm a couple things, add you to the group, and allocate the wine. You can then pay for your "futures" case of wine by going to the allocations section from the Rat Pack group page.

The Pinot 2.0 project is the first of its kind winemaking project which brings you into the winemaking experience. From learning about the soil and climate of the vineyard from which your wine will be made, all the way through harvest, crush, fermentation, and into barrel where you'll be able to taste your wine regularly to see how it's maturing. From anyplace in the world, you can participate in making a batch of super premium wine
