Hi All! One thing that is a constant in all of our lives is change.  Some of us embrace it while others have a hard time accepting changes. I, for example, do not own a cell phone and still use my 35mm Vivitar camera to take photographs. "That actually has film in it??", a bewildered friend from New York inquired just last week. However, one change I embrace whole heartedly is screw top wines.

I know it has a haunting past reputation as only "cheap, cruddy wine" is screw top. I am also aware that a lot of you cannot bring yourselves to purchase it. Take a deep breath and sit down for this news because the entire wine industry is slowly moving toward this change. Almost all of the wines imported from Australia and New Zealand are screw top. I am also noticing more French, Spanish and American wineries following this trend with each vintage change. Are you assuming only the "inexpensive" wines are going screw top? Plumpjack Cabernet Sauvignon is a highly allocated wine, which retails for $90.99, has been screw top for at least two vintages. A lot of high end Australian wines are also screw top.
