Oak in Winemaking Symposium (8-Tape Session)

The Oak in Winemaking symposium will provide winemakers and enologists with the latest research information and the wisdom of experience in the use of oak in winemaking. In wine production, oak barrels are the second largest expense after grape purchases, so it is important that those purchasing barrels are well informed on the subject. The ASEV has organized a well-rounded presentation of the best information available.
