Message sarro beers 134 º places 6 º 09:58 Fri 3/27/2015 I’m no Uli and this may be sacrilegious to some, but I want to blend a couple ounces of white wine into a bottle of Anna to reproduce Ann. Was thinking a mild New Zealand Sauv Blanc or a French Chardonnay. Thoughts?

Message b3shine P beers 12200 º places 372 º 11:07 Fri 3/27/2015 Why not message Shaun and ask him what type of wine barrel he’s used? He’s grassrootsvt on ratebeer.
Message HaStuMiteZen99 beers 1111 º places 27 º 11:07 Fri 3/27/2015 Originally posted by MacBoost So it’s wine aged in French oak barrels. Thanks for that. You’ve narrowed it right down. We should have no problem finding it from here.
Message sarro beers 134 º places 6 º 11:10 Fri 3/27/2015 Ok, French Sauv Blanc and a dash of Boon oude geuze should do it
Message MacBoost beers 2074 º places 37 º 11:10 Fri 3/27/2015 Yeah. But the key words there are "barrel" and "resident microflora". Not sure dumping an ounce of some box wine into anna is going to magically turn it into Ann. But what do I know.
