artificial corks

[vinman]

Just tonight we opened two reds, normally aromatic, and full of flavors... but both were corked! Now, you say that the wines were transpoted 'hot' or I left them in my car, under the sun, or whatever.
What was true was that the wines were four years old and shipped under less than desirable conditions, in a container without climate control, as much of he lower hemisphere wines are currenly shipped. No surprise. Screwcaps! Stupid as I am,even Randall Grahm understands.
