4 - Wine-Infused Cedar Grilling Plank Set

5 - Wine Country Craftsman BBQ Chips

After extended use, wine barrels begin to impart less flavor into wine. When this happens, winemakers add oak chips to the barrels. After the aged wine is filtered and bottled, Wine Country Craftsman collects, dries and packages the chips, perfect for grilling and smoking.
