Is there a better feeling than getting Spring cleaning finished and sitting out on the deck with your smoker and an ice cold beverage?

Absolutely super photo! I can almost feel the warmth. Been a long and cold winter here..  Your wine barrel and set-up is #1.

I love it, and want one for my outdoor entertaining area!

Some years ago I was in the Walla Walla area and was visiting one of my favorite wineries, L'Ecole, when I casually asked the person at the wine bar if they had any barrels for sale. She said she would ask. Fortunately the wine maker was there and told her I could have a barrel for $10, so naturally I jumped on the deal. Fortuitously I had a glass round at home that perfectly fit the barrel top and made this tasting table for my cellar.

Wow.  You gentlemen are living it up!

Next halloween I'll be knocking on your doors with a glass in my hand.  PZ, I'd come out briefly on February 2nd.

Thanks fellas, can't tell you how much I appreciate your kind words and compliments!

PZ, that looks like an awesome spot to get 'lost'  I'll meet you there after dinner 

That’s a beautiful patio Carnivorous and awesome wine cellar pz.

Thanks for the kind comments, gents! This is the only room in the house that is all mine 

Next halloween I'll be knocking on your doors with a glass in my hand.  PZ, I'd come out briefly on February 2nd.

  any time, pmillen
