Does anyone know where I could get some free (or relatively cheap) wine corks in the Triangle?
I am trying to finish my wine closet and I thought that I had saved up enough (about 8 years worth between family and friends) but I guess they do not go as far as I thought.
Thanks for your help!
Matt

I used to work at a place called Nomacorc out in Zebulon (they make synthetic wine corks), so you may contact them and see if they "rejects" they could give/sell you. Also try some restaurants around town. I know when we went to eat at Tosca, they kept the wine cork, so maybe they could give you the leftovers people didn't take.

The Scrap Exchange in Durham had a 30 gallon barrel full of them the last time I was there (~1 month ago). Don't recall the price, but I'm sure you could work something out.

How about calling Daniel's restaurant in Apex - all of their tables are covered with corks with glass set over the top. Ask them where they got all of theirs....

I'd talk to restaurants and ask them if they'd save them for you. Fleming's would be a great place, as they serve 100 wines by the glass. BTW, when is the tasting? I'll bring something good  |

How big is the "closet". I have beed saving up to make a 12" X 12" cork board so I can't imagine how many it would take to make a closet!  |
