I know so many people who were thisclose to having wine made at Crushpad, particularly since grape prices dropped so much. A couple of good wineries got their start there.

How much money did people lose on the dream of having their own label, any idea?

[RicRios]

Probably as much as people will lose on the dream of having their own truffle orchard.

[maria lorraine]

Yes, yes, I get it.

Wow. Always wondered about Crushpad, their biz model and sales pitch. Thanks for the news and links.
