Ep 257: Screw Cap, Cork, and Closure Experiments with Peterson Winery (Sonoma CA)

This week: a live experiment with Jamie and Emily Peterson of Peterson Winery in Dry Creek Valley of Sonoma, in which we drill down into the effect screw cap and cork have on wine in the long term. We discuss all kinds of bottle closures-- a must listen!   Thanks to our sponsors this week (more below!)                                 A few brief notes: 1. We discuss screw cap and the developments with it over the last 10 years 2. We do our first experiment with rosé and talk about what oxygen does as we explore screw caps that let in different amounts of oxygen into the bottle! 3. We briefly touch on bag-in-box and the advantages and disadvantages of it 4. We do the screw cap v cork show down with the following wines: 2010 Peterson Winery Zero Manipulation red 2010 Peterson Winery Sangiovese 2010 Peterson Winery Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel   All comments, shock, and awe are real! This was recorded as we were tasting the wines, so the reactions and conclusions were made on the fly. Video will be available on YouTube as well!   Thank you to Emily and Jamie Peterson for sharing this amazing experience with us!
