Here is an email I just received from Quality Barrels. This is where i bought my barrels and they have thousands of them:


Quality Wine Barrels
Company</font>
appreciates your barrel business and we wanted to contact
you early this season while we still have a good inventory of barrels available
for you to choose from for your 2010 barrel program. Our current inventory and
pricing is attached for your review, and includes red neutral barrels at just
$42.00 each and white neutrals at just $75.00 each. All our barrels undergo a
rigorous 5-point inspection to ensure you receive a wine barrel free of
contaminants, leaks and off odors and ready for wine storage and aging.


Many wineries pre-order for harvest while our barrel selection is still
good, and we offer up to two months barrels storage and maintenance free of
charge for any barrels purchased in advance. This will provide you the
opportunity to purchase your barrels now, while inventory is still available,
but not take delivery until closer to harvest time or whenever you're ready to
recieve.

This season we're also offering additional barrels services,
including:
</font></font>
<ul>[*]Recoopered barrels that are opened, inspected,
shaved, retoasted, closed, leak-tested and shrink wrapped for
delivery</font></font>
[*]CryCleaned barrels opened and blasted with dry
ice for a deep cleaning</font></font>
[*]Cooperage services, including replacement of
cracked staves or heads, leak repair, etc. in house or at your
facility</font></font>
[*]Barrels inserts - in partnership with the best
barrel insert companies we can provide barrels inserts and install them into
your barrels or provide you with our barrels with inserts already in
place</font></font> [/list]Call or email us for more information on any of
these services.

We also encourage winemakers to visit our
warehouse in person, if possible, to choose and personally inspect their barrels
directly</font>, </font>ensuring you get exactly the barrels you need for
your barrel program this season. Just let us know if you'd like to visit our
Santa Maria warehouse in person.

If you need a shipping quote: when you
know the quantity of barrels you'll be ordering, let us know your business
address, whether you'll need a liftgate or you have your own forklift and
whether a 53-foot tractor trailer can get in and out of your facility, then
we'll provide you a shipping quote for barrel delivery.

Let us know how
we can help you plan for your barrel program for harvest 2010.

Thank
you,

oh Al, Al, Al

Ya just gotta think out of the box

Come to California and pick them up yourself - stay here with us - taste wine - start heading east and stop at all your winemaker friends along the way - taste wine - go to Dallas and see George - taste wine - head to Arkansas and stop at Waldo's and Tony's - taste wine - now still head east towards NC and stop and see Jobe - taste wine - see you have friends all over the country - head sorta north to NY and see Appleman - taste wine and Joan - taste wine and others in the area - taste wine - then off to CT and see Wade - taste wine - then crawl to NH and crash. When you are rested and you unload your one barrel you bought in California you can write the whole trip off as a business expense. See, you can have your wine barrel and drink it too!!!!!!

one barrel???? i cant afford one of those things like you rich CA guys :)

i still want to know how you got free time to drive around during the growing season....granted we are in prime greenhouse season here, but i would ever leave my vines unless they were dormant...if i were one of your vines i would be screaming neglect :)
 
wellllllllllllllllllllllll- bud break was just starting and i got 'em fertilized and one application of sulfur and off we went. Plus, I have a partner that looked over the vineyard. So there!!! Guess I better go up the mountain and see how they are doing. Gotta start building a crusher/destemmer rack for Paul to crush directly into his 500 gallon primaries. No more of this pumping and carrying (when the pump stops working) we are gonna go direct. Getting smarter every year, i hope. Boy, his crop is gonna be about double this year. Last year birds got the first 2 rows of each. I am probably going to be ordering some 'bare-hand vineyard netting' to try on some of mine this year too. hope all is well with you.

remember, if you come and get some barrels you now know how to do it!!!
