Are you thinking about purchasing an oak barrel this year for your cellar? Consider a reused French oak barrel from Recoop Barrels in Sonoma County at a much lower price.
Leo Prada, the owner of Recoop Barrels, will be presenting on May 21st at our next SHW program meeting on how his method of recycling oak barrels is superior to other methods such as steaming power washing or dry ice blasting. He will also be able to answer those burning questions on barrel care and use for the home winemaker. Reusing barrels is not only economical, but also provides an environmentally sustainable alternative to discarding old barrels. Available sizes are from 15 gallons to 60 gallons.
Thr meeting starts at 7 pm upstairs at the Turn Verein located at 3349 J Street in Sacramento. Front doors open at 6:30 pm. Bring your wine glass and an optional bottle of wine to share.
Questions about the program can be directed to Vice-President Byron Froman at befroman@gmail.com.
