Taste the Difference! Enter the barrel room and see what it's all about!
May 19 and 20, 11:00am and 2:00pm both days
Have you ever been curious why wineries age wine in barrels? Wondered why it matters if the barrel comes from America or from France? And what does toast level have to do with anything?
Well, you are in for a treat this weekend. Assistant winemaker Jon Affonso will be taking you into our barrel room to see, and taste, the difference.
Explore old vs new oak, French vs American oak, medium vs heavy toast levels, standard barrel aging vs puncheon aging, and most importantly, finished vs unfinished wine.
We will hold two sessions each day; the first at 11am and the second at 2pm.
Limited availability, RSVP to claim your spot! Email to erin@renwood.com or call (209) 245-6979
