Wine Without A Barrel?

The wine has been "falling clear" for the past two weeks. The sediment has been falling to the bottom and the wine is becoming more and more clear (and I might say, TASTY!) Tonight Brad made the decision to get it on oak, but since we're a tiny little endeavor we do not yet have a barrel! The method, if you do not have a barrel, is to put the oak IN the wine, instead of put the wine ON oak. Several weeks ago we purchased oak chips from a winemaker's supply store, and the chips are now settling into the two carboys full of wine. The oak chips will alter the flavor and clarify the wine even more. We will taste it again in two weeks, and eventually will decide when the wine has had enough oak.
