This past Saturday was our barrel seminar given by Jerome Aubin. Mainly wine club members were in attendance. Jerome talked about how barrels are made, the difference between French and American oak barrels, and what effect they impart onto wines. Attendees enjoyed themselves and said they learned something new. This was a very educational event, but in the end people were able to try some wines to experience for themselves what the difference barrels make on the wine. Jerome brought a Chardonnay and Jack brought out our Trenton Station 2006 Syrah and compared it with our Trenton Station Reserve 2006 Syrah. The reserve was in oak 6 months longer and it has made quite a difference.
