A favorite Pinot Noir out of Oregon with a screw cap is Argyle. Priced around $25 It is the most expensive wine I will pay for. Very tasty.
During a lovely tour of a very “Hoity-Toity” winery in New England, the Sommelier showed us a gleaming room full of idle machinery. “That is the facility we developed for utilizing Screw Caps for our fine wines. It is better than cork because it is a complete seal against the elements, and does not react to the wine so as to ruin it. It is also easier to open.”
One of the guests on the tour asked why the machines weren’t working.
“We are afraid to try it,” replied the Sommelier. “We are afraid that people, who have built up a whole ritual and mystique about the cork will shun the wine as inferior because it has a bottle cap.”
Somehow, sniffing the bottle cap and nodding your assent does not have the same cachet’. LOL! :-)
