| "For my 2005 Dry Creek Syrah to be chosen Best of Show from among just
under 600 entrants, at the Orange County Wine Competition, is the winemaking
equivalent of winning the Oscar for Best Picture. It requires working
with and having on the team the "Best Director" (winemaker), the "Best
Cinematographer" (Grapes), the "Best Screenplay" (techniques used for
making wine), and the "Best Production Designer" (Barrels for aging). A
year ago I considered winning this award to be the result of a lifetime
as a winemaker. In fact, this award came to me in
my fifth year of wine making and from the very first instance of using
a Barrel Blasting barrel. This would not have happened without all the
elements in place, and no winemaker underestimates the barrel in the
process. This is not a co-incidence, the Barrel Blasting process and
their barrel made the difference." Frank Walburg, Winemaker |
Rejuvenated Oak Barrels
We offer French and American oak barrels we have barrel blast
reconditioned. They were used just one year and then retired. These are
from some of the pre-eminent wineries which choose to replace all of
their barrels each year.

Did you know...Unnecessary
waste and consumption of non-renewable resources are an increasing
worldwide concern. In California alone, a staggering 200,000 handcrafted
oak wine barrels made from 200- to 300-year-old trees are discarded by
wineries each year, with most being resold as planters or firewood.
