Sure.  Yeah.  Oak. 

I have no idea, I just know that there's something soothing about drinking a couple of glasses of red wine.  I'm only starting to appreciate it, but it's definitely there.

To me the oak flavor is sort of like a combination of the scent of clove and mildew mixed together only as a taste.  A very light touch in wine can be okay but most Chardonnays are pretty heavy on that flavor accent.  To me, it overwhelms just about any other flavor that the Chardonnay might have including fruit, grass, flowers, citrus, or even butter.

Sauvignon Blancs usually do a lot more for me.  I've also discovered that I REALLY like Chenin Blanc.  There's a lot of variety in them and I haven't found a Chenin that I dislike yet.

I was going to say that a Blue Moon with Orange was sounding white trashy to this thread.

Still, not a bad beer.
