Found a new weight loss program – it’s called “Working at Crushpad!!!”
The summer program is Harvest and you get a 12 hour workout starting at 6am. The winter program is No Heat and you shiver pounds away.
At Crushpad, wine is our asset. We need to do all we can to keep our asset in tact. And that means, keeping the winery around 60, if not less.
So, during this cold spell in San Francisco (it was 40F this morning when I drove to work…I know, I know, LA has that, and my mid-west & east coast friends are rolling their eyes cuz that would be a heat wave for them), we don’t turn on heaters. Actually, I don’t think we even have a central heating system. So, I’m sitting at my computer in a t-shirt, a turtle neck, a scarf, and a down jacket, and I’m about comfortable. Feet are a little chilly, but body is warm. Had a wild hair and took the jacket off for a few minutes…not a good idea.
Every morning, I go to the winery (separate area from our office), and they don’t get much natural light (no sun warmth), and they definitely don’t have heating. As a matter of fact, they had the loading dock doors open, so we get a nice cold breeze coming in. It’s gotta be in the 50s in that building. One of the guys wore flannel PJ bottoms under his jeans today - LOL. Again, great for wine…not so great for people.
The best part is when I do product shots (yes, I’m the staff photographer) and I turn the lamp on. Yea, nice, warm glow of fake light to warm me up.
It's so damn cold that I had to move my garage rose' into my bedroom. Yea, too cold for the wine - have you ever heard of such a thing??? I gotta warm it up a bit, so it doesn't stall the fermentation. So, I have a 5 gallon carboy of pinot noir rose in my room - who woulda thought??
See you in LA over the holidays….hoping for warmer weather.
Cheers - Linda
