Oak Bottle...

Here ya go..the latest thing to enhance your wine experience:
OakBottle

An oak bottle to infuse your humble wine w/ a variety of flavors. I just ordered the "Viagra" infuser bottle and can hardly await till it arrives. Susan hasn't expressed her thoughts on it, though.

Any of you ChiTown folks know this Joel Paglione guy behind it. He's way too cool a looking dude to be a wine geek.

You know...I can just TASTE THIS in my mind's eye. My mouth feels slick right now. Urghhhh.

So, if a wine spent time in each of the infusers it would be a sort of Hairy Buffalo thing? Give that concoction to a MW and see what he/she is able to identify.

Seems to me to be more of a wine re-purposing device.

I've got a better idea . A soluble powder in a pot which one puts on the table along with the pepper and salt. Different flavourings are possible; French and American oak of course, then a variety of different levels of toasting and so on. Then there will be no need for producers to waste money on barrels or chips. And let no producer claim that he needs barrels for the traditional purpose of slowly airing the wine during maturation; there is micro-bullage to do that.

Back to the consumer who just sprinkles enough powder so as to oak the wine to his/her taste. It even caters for people who don't want an oak taste in their wine .

And people claim AFWE are ANTI-PROGRESS!
