Interesting Essay on Cork versus Screwcap

by Brian K Miller » Wed Mar 28, 2007 7:08 pm

His basic thesis is that screwcapped wines age differently and better.

Quite intriguing argument from his own personal tastings as well as those of the "experts."

This echos what I've been saying for years. People don't know what aged wine tastes like--they know what oxidized wine tastes like.
