One of the key ingredients in the winemaking process is the barrel. An expensive one too.  The average wine lover usually doesn’t get a chance to look behind the scenes when it comes to barrels and coopers.

Barrel Builders has a long history of supplying barrels in Napa and we were lucky enough to spend a little time with Phil as well as his daughter Heather at their facility in Calistoga.
