Baby #3: the wine barrel. Quintessa had one-year old used French oak barrels for sale during my paternity leave, so spent one afternoon driving to Napa to pick up one for myself and one for my friend. A week later, I built a stand using a redwood 4x4 and some scrap 2x4. The wine is now racked, and taking on oak in the basement...only 16 more months to go.
