I have a strong belgian ale that I brewed and I was thinking of racking it onto wine lees and oak at bottom of a carboy that has had wine in it for 3-4 months. I am about to bottle the wine, so this is the lees from the third or so racking. At this point, do you think I would get much flavor out of them or do you think it would be mainly tanniny?

Or should I just stop being so lazy and just get some wine must from my homebrew shop 30 minutes away?
 
Maybe just pull the oak out and use that. It should have enough soaked into it to give some flavor if you secondary with it for a while
