    Sweet wine lovers who visit a hockey site. Gotta love that. I even have a better tip for a Chardonnay which I will reveal in a new thread.

    yeah... it's actually quite similar to people and their aversion to wine with screw caps.

    OP, learn to trust your palate over your ego.

    Along those lines, there are plenty of screw top wines that actually drink well. We're no longer in the age of stereotyping every one as Boone's Farm anymore.

    Hell, it's hard to get anything from Australia anymore that isn't a screw cap.

    This means that the bottle of Australian wine you purchase has a 0% chance of being tainted with TCA.

    Love the screw cap.

    Saves me from looking for the stupid bottle opener.
