In this episode, you'll learn from Hazlitt’s Co-CEO & Owner Doug Hazlitt (the father of host Shannon Hazlitt Harts) and Vinifera Winemaker Michael Reidy about the role oak barrels play in making many wines, including Hazlitt's Barrel Fermented Chardonnay. They expertly describe the different types of oak barrels that are used in winemaking and the unique qualities they can impart to wines. In addition, listeners will gain background on the history of oak barrels in general winemaking and at Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards—including how Doug Hazlitt snuck the first oak barrels into the production process!
