The umbrella has a new owner. I was surprised at the positive response on this. If you want one, I suggest you contact your local wine store and ask them if they can get one from their Masi wine distributor. I get the impression that Masi provides them to the distributors to give to their best customers. My local wine store usually has three of them out front of the store. They don't usually survive the combination of Florida sun and hurricane season. The owner knows I have a standing request for them, so he gives them to me when he either gets new ones or one gets destroyed, necessitating a change to keep the three out front the same. I'll tell him to get me some more. Lou Deeter, Orlando FL USA

I have a local wine store that gives me their used patio umbrellas when they get faded or torn. I have a green one with white MASI AGRICOLA lettering. Faded but only small perferations, not like it has been in a hurricane. I think patio umbrellas typically come in two sizes--7 feet and 9 feet. This is the smaller of the two. It isn't worth the cost of shipping to ship the wood frame, but I will ship the fabric only to someone if you are the Masi person who needs everything around you to be Masi. $15 should cover the shipping. Or, if nobody wants to pay for shipping, I can bring it to Cirque with the frame next June assuming my plan to drive stands. Lou Deeter, Orlando FL USA
