Cedar?????

[earl]

I really love a wine with some Cedar notes in it. My understanding is that the cedar comes from the grape and not from the barrel or from the addition of cedar to the wine.


Has anyone ever tried to add a little cedar to the wine to get that taste??

Would there be any concerns about the natural oils in cedar wood making the wine rancid?

cedaryou use for buildingdoes not have oil in it unless you use the aromatic type. The problem with using cedar I think is that it has natural properties that make the wine toxic. I'll have to do some research on that.

If you were to use it and I wouldn't, I would think to use very little
as it has a very strong taste to it as I use it alot to build stairs
and decks and it stinks up the whole shop during the milling process.

I think Angell is correct. I would not use any Cedar. Think about BBQ. I dont think I would like any chicken or ribs or whatever smoked with cedar.
