WINE COLUMN

LOVE IT OR HATE IT, OAK IS IMPORTANT IN WINE

BY DAVE MCINTYRE
The Washington Post

Last month, in my list of five things
to know about chardonnay, I argued
that the wine “should not taste like
a tree.” That was my lament not just
that too many winemakers overdo
the oak treatment so the wine tastes
more of the barrel than the grape, but
also that we consumers have come to
expect wine to taste more like wood
than fruit.

That isn’t a diatribe against oak.
Nearly all of the world’s finest wines see
oak in some form before they ever reach
a bottle. Here are five things to know
about how oak influences the flavor,
quality and price of the wines you enjoy.

Blue at 8050 will have a large pool
with cabanas, a clubhouse with gym,
a putting green and fitness trail,
among other amenities.

The condos are listed with Brown,
Harris and Webb, and four have been
sold, so far, with another sale close to
being closed, according to Webb and
Zana.

“The buyers so far are all folks from
Indian River Shores,” says Webb.
“They are people looking to cash out
of larger properties in John’s Island or
some other community who want to
reduce their monthly costs and still
have great luxury finishes and new
construction.”

Zana plans to go vertical with the
first two buildings in October, as
soon as he has his building permits,
and he expects sales to accelerate
