Whoah, Louis/Dressner really stirred up the shit with this post

Great post, thanks for linking.

I was stumped by the reference to wood allowing contact with air. I presume they use old barrels, and my understanding is that, after the fourth or fifth use, the pores of these have become completely clogged, so contact is only through the bung hole and by not topping up. If so, other containers would do the trick equally well, no?
 
Solipsistically, I understood that as a reference to (what I've found to be) a loosely inverse correlation between aromatics (e.g., viognier, torrontes, gewurz, etc.) and acidity.
