That glass is ruined now. Feel free to send my way for proper disposal.

I enjoyed the bottle I had on Saturday, would drink again. Feel free to send any more bottles my way.

Anyone have an idea of how difficult it is to get some wooden Cantillon crates? I remember that they used to be for sale on some of the websites but I haven't seen any recently. Any ideas/anyone have some for trade?

I can send you the exact dimensions if you want to make some.

Soooo there's three pre-orders. Once we hit 10 I'll start manufacturing them

 

[wolfman1201]

I'd happily build a few extras with dimensions. Have plenty of tools. Is this the one you're talking about?

Looks like 1x4s, maybe 4 total boards if you maximize your cuts.

They're 1x3 boards all around and then two thin pieces attached to the bottom for stacking purposes. Mine measures (+/-):

Long side: 17 inch
Needed: 6

Short side: 11 1/4 inch
Needed: 6

Vertical: 9 7/8 inch
Needed: 4

Floor: 12 1/2 inch
Needed: 5

Maybe hotmetal can forge us a L.I branding iron

So are these crates designed to lay bottles on their side?

I'm In...

Finally found a use for the massive stack of pallets in my shop.

Was going to cover the interior walls with them, but this looks a lot more time consuming and the perfect excuse to not be in the house.

Yeah they are designed to fit 12 bottles laying down if you want to stack them, but they easily hold 16 if you're not stacking.

Alright, so the measurements are just slightly more than 3 ea 8' boards, so I figured 2 ea 8 footers and 2 ea 6 footers. You could rearrange the cuts so you aren't pushing board 2 to the last few inches.

Prices were from Home Depot and Lowes. They do not sell cedar or whitewood in a 6 foot board, so you have to buy 4 ea 8 foot boards.

All in all, with some 3/4 or 1" wood screws, built out of cedar, you're talking about $20. Plus blood, sweat and tears.

Edit to add: if you want some of those stacking boards at the bottom to hold the crates together, you can get that board for a few dollars and use it for 2 crates (assuming its 4'+)

I'll need 42 of them.

thise would work better than my current set up.

Anyone had any experience with a cork like this? I drink fou fresh almost always, but was wondering if anyone had any oxidation etc with corks like these.

This came last night and I got to really look at it up close finally after anticipating the box. A perfectly preserved 1997 cork US label Bruocsella with an awesome fill level from when Shelton was apparently based in NC. Single owner/cellar before me. This is now the oldest Bruocsella I have in my little collection.

 

[wolfman1201]

I'll send you 30, and you send me the bottles that fill the other 12 as payment....

Very cool bottle.

The US label is 1000X better than the euro

Agree. As far back as we could find when we were mining the TTB database, here's a copy of the 2001 label approval.

Tons of juicy cherry and some underpinning nuttiness. Nowhere near overly sour. Pretty restrained in the Department of Sour Department. #redundant

I'd like to replicate. Please provide the dimensions.
