Mr. Crowe was extremely knowledgeable. The information from French forests to American bottles is presented in a very relaxed fashion (which is appealing to me as I enjoy wine while I listen). This interview is quite entertaining and a must hear for any serious wine drinker. I agree with the other post that some wines aged in American Oak are good, but the percentage compared to the good/great wines aged in French Oak are miniscule. Thank you GrapeRadio!

Great wines come from both American and French Oak. Your favorite will depend on your taste. I prefer French Oak but many great wines like Caymus come from American Oak.

I was just wondering the other day about wines that claim they were aged in American oak or French oak. Now I know more than I ever thought I would and it was very entertaining. Thanks.

Anyone who cares about wine needs to hear this one. It’s easy-to-understand, yet incredibly descriptive about the often-confusing topic of oak. Thanks, guys. It was one of the most valuable things I’ve come across in my wine education.
