Glad to have you writing a wine blog for us here at DCP. I have a question to ask you regarding flavor additives in wine. I recently had a glass of wine from the Montalcino region, and it had a vanilla-ish flavor that seemed very atypical for the region. It was sort of a perfumy vanilla bean, and it hit on the front and was the pervading lingering taste on the back end as well. I have hiked through Montalcino and Montepulciano, and I've never tasted anything remotely like that in the region's wine. Any thoughts, even though you have obviously not tasted the wine? I've heard that several wineries in California will add oak flavors and possibly other things to their wine from time to time. Ben Hi Mike. Glad to have you writing a wine blog for us here at DCP.

Any thoughts, even though you have obviously not tasted the wine? I’ve heard that several wineries in California will add oak flavors and possibly other things to their wine from time to time.
