Detecting oak taste test

[Georgie]

There are often opinions voiced about the flavor of oak in wine. Since I really don't know what oak tastes like I took Robin Garr's "Detecting Oak" taste test as found on The Wine Lover's page. http://www.wineloverspage.com/ There was certainly a huge difference in taste between the two chardonnays by the same maker. My conclusion was that I preferred the non-oaky taste to the oaky taste. For you other novices out there, this might be a good little tasting experience for you to try.
