We drove to Saumur to pick up le tonneau for our cave. There is a new wine shop there and Rich had struck a deal to buy a used wine barrel that will serve as a table in our cave. When we got there the owner told us that the barrel had not been delivered because these are busy days in the vineyard. Instead, he offered us a barrel that he had on hand already. He helped us load it into the back of the car and we took it home.
We wrestled the barrel through the house and down the steps into the cave. It was surprisingly heavy. Our cave is now complete and we can start to entertain guests there for wine tastings.
