They'd also prefer you not know that we've fne-tuned the art of oak infusion so deftly that in many blind tastings, experts chose our favors over wines aged in French oak barrels. Surprising, but true. If you make a special wine and are willing to think outside the barrel, now would be a good time to give us a call. ® © 2016 StaVin Inc. Thomas Bardessono
