Corked & Uncorked: The Secrets of Wine’s Unsung Hero

Wine Access Unfiltered

PJ Awe, Director of Marketing and Sales at Amorim Cork America, joins us to dive into cork’s fascinating journey from bark to bottle. As one of the most sustainable products on the planet, cork plays a bigger role than many wine drinkers might realize. We discuss why storing wine bottles on their sides might not be necessary and why cork taint (TCA) is about to be a thing of the past. Geek out with us as we uncork one of Lodi’s oldest-vine Carignane’s and take you down one of the most unexpected rabbit holes of your life.
