Join Erin Dudley in a casual seated wine class where we will discuss the uses and effects of oak on wine.

Oak is one of the key points of polarization in wine preferences. Some wine drinkers love oaky wines, while others abhor the effects of oak on wine. There are many reasons why a winemaker may choice to use or not use oak. But all oaked wines are not made the same - the age of the oak, size of oak barrels, time spent in oak, toast of the oak, and many other factors impact the flavors of the final wine product. Let's talk about it.
