Engerer gave no indication Latour is even interested in trying screw tops. I thought they might want to put some cases under screw top just to see what happens – after all, if the wine doesn’t age properly, then that would justify their cork use (then again, maybe they have done so and aren’t interested in giving out the information – who knows).

With food-wine pairing, it’s tough with Chinese foods, because at a typical meal you have a whole array of dishes that already match well to each other (unless you serve the meal one dish at a time).

It’s rather interesting reading why Latour won’t be a fine match to asian cuisine due to its inaccessibility when young.

It seems like the winemaking philosophy is largely ‘can’t be bothered’ with the advert of screw cap and the movement in fine wine prices by simply denying their involvement and influence.

BTW, would we continue to buy Latour? I hope so … but prices are beyond our pay!
