That sounds like a good idea. Camp, do some work, get some wine, enjoy. When would/could this all happen?<br />

I can only go in for 10 bottles, $70-$100. Not a good year for me to be investing in wine, sadly.<br />

If we can't get the money together for an entire barrel, I could probably arrange for a few of us to go up and help him do some work at the vineyard (picking grapes, bottling, general labor, etc. I'll bet he'd kick down some wine if we provided some good old fashioned elbow grease. There is plenty of room to camp there as well. It's a really cool place. Let me know and I'll set something up.<br />

Missed you, Aaron. Glad you're back. I'm down for you camping with us and doing something with wine. It would be good to do a VW Camper Blend. Perhaps a VW Campernet?

Okay here's the deal with the wine. My friends are selling entire barrels at a discount. A barrel = 24.5 cases of wine or 294 bottles. Depending on the varietal, the prices are between $2500 - $2900/barrel. This means the price of each bottle is somewhere between $7-$10. Most of their wines usually sell for $25 - $30/bottle at their tasting room or vineyard. Significant savings. The barrels will be ready for bottling in about 3 months. At that point we could go and bottle it and label it…

At that point we could go and bottle it and label it ourselves. It would make a great day trip to the wine country. Kids are welcome and the bottles and labels are free. We would have to put 1/2 down and the balance when we bottle it. The name of the winery is Christie Vineyards. Here is the link: Check it out and tell me if anyone is still interested.<br />

Great idea, Aaron! I'd be up for participating in bottling some wine. We could label it for events like Bus City or Train Spotting or just make a general VW Camper Family label. Fun times, let's get started.
