What does a barrel change?Oak can bring texture and gentle spice to wine. It can also sit quietly behind the fruit. During this evening, we compare six wines in pairs, including white and red styles. We select bottles with different cellar approaches and explain what we know about their ageing. The aim is to help you choose a style you enjoy.Compare before you decideA fresh white beside a fuller example makes a useful first comparison. We then look at how tannin, air and time affect the reds. Not every difference comes from oak: grape, growing place and vintage matter too. We point out those limits rather than treating every pair as a laboratory test. There is time to revisit the wines and ask questions.Six small samples in three pairsWater, bread and a simple note sheetAdvice on opening, serving and storing your bottlesBefore the eveningContact us for dates and the current bottle selection. Tell us how many adults wish to join and mention dietary needs. We confirm the arrangement and price per person before you agree. This is a tasting of styles, with no promise that every bottle is suitable for long ageing. Buying wine afterwards is optional; selected bottles can be reserved for shop pickup.
