Corkiness and soft corks

[Randy Caparoso]

Okay, I'm understanding your point a little better. I'm just not a careful reader. But my point was that the control that the producer has is in his selection of cork material. It's just like distribution -- a producer may not actually be in control of their wine once it leaves the premises, but he can still exert considerable amount of control by choosing the best possible methods of shipment, distributors and even clientale.
