When the swimming pool was completed Jerry had two huge wine barrels brought in from Mondavi's which he made into a dressing room and a storage room. I can still remember the delicious smell of the inside of those huge barrels. The surface of the interior felt like rough sandpaper, they were so covered by sugar crystals embedded in the oak (a result of the fermentation process). When you changed into your bathing suit you were enveloped in a luscious grapey environment..... I never wanted to leave.
