Screw Me

Screw/kappa/napa is a good thing. For years I’ve heard about the wine industry bagging the cork and using the screw top. Way up in the little burg of Skowhegan Maine I bought my first bottle of mid –range red wine with a screw top. Its name was screw/kappa/napa and was very good. It actually had a coffee, ripe raspberry and vanilla nose, just like the back label stated. Of course in the cold rainy weather happening a bottle of Jagger would also work. I wonder what my wine friends like Mike Dillon and Wayne Presby of the Mt Washington would think?

3 Loose Screws, a division of Don Sebastiani, do the wine and bottling. If I could keep a bottle around for the five years you recommend, I just might go for the screwing!
