Welcome to The Pit, Grapefarmer! Do you sell wine barrel oak staves, or chunks of them by chance? I'd like to try some. I have tried whiskey barrel stave pieces with great results. I second Pit Boss' words, I am a zinfandel lover, the more peppery the better.
Finally found a great site and sounds like a great bunch of interesting folks. Been smoking and BBQ'n quite a few years but never to old to learn from the pros. Just remember "Napa" makes auto parts but Lake County produces some of the best wines in CA. In fact I use the oak from older oak wine barrels to smoke and the finished flavor is fantastic. Thanks all for interesting info.
