August Q&A

03:35.00 - You mentioned different types of wood barrels - French, American, Hungarian, etc. You did a great job breaking the differences down between these. My question is that under these types of wood - like French Oak - are their different barrel types, construction materials, etc that make each French oak barrel different? And how do these things change the wine? 10:53.00 - We love the MTGA Pinot Gris at our house. You mentioned it was a 60/40 split on wood vs stainless aged (I think that was the ratio). Is the difference in the product coming out of these two aging methods a stark one? Or is it not as noticeable as you might think? 17:02.00 - Have you gotten a chance to experiment with a concrete amphora yet? I agree they sound like a pain to clean. Wondered if you had tried anything with those yet in the last year since that first episode aired. 20:38.00 - What effect will the Vintage Wine Estate bankruptcy have on the industry? 28:24.00 - After the "shopping for additives" episode why do you mention multiple items as being "okay" but you would not use them?
