ONCE1019 - To Oak or Not to Oak: What's all the Fuss about Barrels and Wine?

Course Description

Aging wine in wood is an integral part of winemaking. We will discover how exposure to wood changes the character of the wine by smoothing out the tannins and adding layers of flavors and complexity. We will compare and contrast wines from the same grapes aged or not in oak barrels. Come learn, sample and decide your favorite style.
