Hello All, I posted in the Oak Tutorial but it doesn't seem to be getting any hits. So I thought I would repost here:
I am about to oak for the first time. I have those disposbable cheesecloth socks from my LWS and the correct kind of oak for my wine. Here is my plan:
I am going to pull out about a cup of wine before I oak and save for a base line taste test
put my oak in
wait for a few weeks?? (chime in here as I am pretty confused as to how long I should oak, everyone tells me "to taste")
Pull out a cup of "oaked" wine and do a taste test with the "pre-oaked" wine to see how I like it.
Sooo.... How long do you oak??
