Picture this: you wake up, stretch your arms, step outside, and BAM! There's your very own vineyard right in your backyard. No, I’m not talking about a sprawling estate in Napa Valley or some picturesque Tuscan setting. I’m talking about a revolutionary concept that Mark MyWerds and I have been cooking up: Winery in a Box. Seriously, we’ve distilled the entire vineyard experience into a 16-cube box that you can plop down almost anywhere! This episode is a whirlwind tour of how we’ve transformed the art of winemaking into a sophisticated endeavor, making it accessible to everyone, even if you've got just a tiny patch of grass to work with.

Mark and I dive into the nitty-gritty of this brilliant idea, crafted with the help of a world-class vintner, a bonsai tree expert, and an architect who clearly had a blast thinking small. Imagine bonsai-trained wine vines that can start producing grapes in just one season! Think about it: you get to cultivate your very own grapes, create your first bottle, and celebrate it with a custom label that’s yours forever—your legacy in a bottle! But that’s not all; we’ve included blueprints for a cozy little winery house with an adorable tasting room and a micro wine cellar to store your precious bottles. Yep, we’re talking about a complete wine experience that fits in your pocket—well, almost.

As we wrap up our chat, I can’t help but marvel at how this project not only brings the joys of winemaking into the hands of amateurs but also fosters a sense of community and connection to nature. It’s all about sipping, savoring, and sharing your creations with friends and family—not to mention bragging rights at the next BBQ. So, if you’ve ever dreamt of having your own vineyard but thought it was out of reach, let us guide you through the whimsical world of Winery in a Box, where dreams really do come true, one grape at a time!

Takeaways:

  • Imagine stepping into your backyard and discovering a vineyard crafted by your own hands!
  • This isn’t just about wine; it’s about creating a legacy that you can sip and savor.
  • The Winery in a Box includes architectural blueprints for a tiny winery and tasting room!

Mark MyWerds

Welcome. Welcome to The Best 5 Minute Wine Podcast with Forrest Kelly. Well, hello, Forrest. Hey. First of all, thank you for having me. It's a pleasure being here.My name is Mark MyWerds. Let me just say that we're about to discuss what is going to redefine the way people experience wine.And sorry, there's a little bit of an echo. I'm in our warehouse right now, so. Hey, stack those right over here. Hopefully that won't, you know, be a deterrent or a distraction.

Forrest Kelly

Now, before we get into it just too much, but we have been.When I first started this five years ago, we just kind of had a mixer, kind of met up and I don't know how our paths crossed, but all I know is that every time we go to lunch, you always make me pay for lunch. Even though you've got more money than you know what you know. And that's always sticks in my craw a little bit there, Mark.But we have been working diligently and you finally we're going to be able to release this and to everybody, right?

Mark MyWerds

Yes, absolutely. You know, you paying for lunch, that's one of my, my 10 steps to making, you know, all this money.And that'll be another show that we'll do, I'm sure, at some time. But imagine waking up, stepping into your backyard and seeing your own vineyard. Now let that sink in. Right?Not a postcard perfect estate in Napa or Tuscany, but you, your vineyard, cultivated and crafted by your own hands. Forest.For five years, we've worked on this with a Japanese bonsai exper, a world class vintner, a designer, an architect to create something that is both redefined and revolutionary. Move that palette. Got him over there, Doc. Three.

Forrest Kelly

Okay, are we talking about a box or a kit? Is this a fully realized vineyard experience including bonsai trained wine vines? Is that what we're talking about here?

Mark MyWerds

You're getting it. Absolutely. A vineyard scaled for the modern connoisseur.The vines cultivated through a proprietary bonsai inspired technique, Unique will begin producing grapes within just one season. Now, anybody that's into wine knows that that is really huge. This isn't ornamental. It's real living wine making at home.And to honor your first harvest, we're including something special, a custom labeled bottle designed to commemorate your very first vintage bearing the name of your vineyard, your legacy. We need more boxes.

Forrest Kelly

So with this whole thing that we've put together, you're getting a vineyard plus a complete set of architectural blueprints for a tiny house.And the tiny house has Got its own tasting room and something that we've just kind of added and it's just come through a proper place to store your wine. Included in this whole experience is a set of architectural blueprints for a micro wine cellar.It's an elegant, temperature controlled space designed to fit seamlessly into your tiny winery house.

Mark MyWerds

This order is priority. Just spectacular, isn't it, for us? Every serious whiner knows that aging is an art. Wine matures best under the right conditions.Which is why we've developed a customizable micro wine cellar to ensure that your first vintage and every bottle thereafter ages to perfection. Imagine this, your first harvest, your first bottle, nestled safely in your personal wine cellar, waiting for that perfect moment.This isn't just about making wine, it's about creating legacy that you can sip, savor and share.

Forrest Kelly

So I'm trying to picture this whole thing in my head and even though I've been through the whole design process, want to make sure that our listeners are very clear about this. This is, you know, you usually have to have acres and acres of vineyards and then you've got to have a house.We've condensed it all because we've, we've been dealing with the Japanese bonsai tree makers and we've incorporated a vineyard into the vi, into that bonsai, that small shape. So with this bonsai tree, how much volume are we talking about here, Mark?

Mark MyWerds

Well, that's what makes it accessible to everybody. No matter where you live, you can have some space in your backyard that you can build this wonderful, luxurious asset.It's a bonsai train vendor ready to grow architectural blueprints for your own tiny house and tasting room. You've got a micro wine cellar to properly store and age your wines.A custom labeled bottle to mark your first successful vintage, and of course, free shipping because refinement should never come with a delivery charge.

Forrest Kelly

The bonsai trees are the blueprints, especially the wine cellar blueprints that go under the tiny house. All of this in a box. It's. I'm looking at, you've got the shipping boxes right there. You're in the warehouse. How big a box is it?
