Opinions on bourbon barrel aged wine? IMO a marketing gimmick that makes wine worse and just appeals to mass market America.

To add, I’m not a huge fan of oak. Best use of oak in my opinion is Rioja, where they age traditional Gran Reservas for long periods of time in large barrels of old American oak, so essentially it’s nothing more than an aging vessel.

I am quite the opposite. Huge fan of oak in my Chardonnay. That said, not a fan of bourbon barrel aged wines.

Tried this Santorini retailing for $40. Very concentrated but can’t say I was blown away by it. Volcanic terroir dominates almost to the point of obscurity, and it had strong lemon notes, hints of quince, and sea salt. It clashed with Mexican food (hey I knew that beforehand but didn’t think it would clash THAT bad, and usually pair Mexican with Riesling or Gewürztraminer) but I’m going to Greece soon and wanted to drink Greek wine. I drank half at a BYOB, took the bottle home(cont’d)
