Nadalie USA

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere ~ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr #juneteenth #blackhistoryisamericanhistory @ Calistoga, California

A big THANK YOU to the essential businesses workforce that are out there making things happen, including some of our very own

In the cross hairs ... staves are aligned perfectly at the Nadalie cooperage in Bordeaux. Coming together one piece at a time with wood dowels (no glue is used), the barrel head slowly starts to take shape. The final step is a custom cut to fit the "croze" of the barrel. #nadalie #handcrafted #makingwine #winegram #winecountry

It's Friday and time to meet THE Team...the craftsmen, the hard-workers, the one's that make it happen. We are still hand-crafting barrels each day (with machine assistance in a few areas), which takes time and precision every step of the way. #napavalleylife #ournapa #nadalie #cooperage

Thank you winemakers for making the barrel tasting events in Livermore and Temecula such a success. We can't wait to host them again next year!

Toasting is arguably the most important piece in the barrel making process and requires the expertise and focus of our coopers. What's your guess on how many different toasts we offer and which is the most prevalent? #cooperage #bestwineries #decanter #winecellar #mywinemoment

It's time again for Spirited Magazine's "Best of" Survey We were honored to win in 2 categories in 2019: Best Barrels and Best Oak Alternatives, and we'd love a repeat! You can place your vote for Supplier and other categories here: http://www.spiritedbiz.com/best-of-survey/

How long do you think we let our oak age in the open air before the staves can be used to make barrels? #cooperage #californiawine #wineblog #craftsmanship #nadalie #sommlife

Our Colbert French oak barrel is unique in that it takes extra care, time and effort to create, beginning here in the workshop. It is a hands-on process from start to finish.... #handmadeisbetter #nadalie #winelife
