Attributes of French vs American

[Waldo]

Any suggested good reading/resources on the attributes of each type oak and it's influence on a partivcular type of wine?

Here's one on oaking in general. http://www.grapestompers.com/articles/oak_wine.htm

That is a nice tutorial, but it says nothing about using cubes, beans, staves, etc.


I will look on the Sta-Vin website.

I posted this one some time ago and it gives a overview of the difference between American and French oak. I know they are talking about barrels but I would think using cubes would mimic the same qualities.
