- ShortWiner - 09-16-2003 So I was at a little in-store tasting a few days ago. One of the wines was a mid-level California Zin (sadly I forget the name) that I thought was disappointingly oaky. I said so, and the guy who was pouring told me that if it was decanted or otherwise aired out for a while that this would blow off somewhat. I've heard of that happening with other aromas, but not oak. Is this true? - Thomas - 09-16-2003 Unlikely. - ShortWiner - 09-16-2003 That's what I thought! Too bad, though. I can think of a number of wines that I'd like to blow the oak off of. (...off of which I'd like to blow the oak?)

Seems like another "anything to sell it" line. - winoweenie - 09-16-2003 Finally some posts that make sense to me.ww - Kcwhippet - 09-16-2003 Georgie should be here to straighten you guys out. - Georgie - 09-16-2003 I'm here...just doing this!

Why did you put the word "off" on the title of the post? - Thomas - 09-20-2003 SB, get in the corner and face the blackboard for that one... - winoweenie - 09-20-2003 Was something I missed about this?ww - Kcwhippet - 09-22-2003 ww, It appears that by removing the final word of the subject line, SB is making a statement about his lack of enthusiasm for excessive wood treatment of wines. That's much like the good doctor B's frequent statements on the same subject. |
