Chris,
I don’t believe I’ve tried the Cuvee Elena. I’ll have to check it out sometime. Glad to hear you asked about their closures. I personally really like the glass closures. They are beneficial for the reasons that the lady at Syncline told you and provide a little more “pop” than screwcaps.

Rob,
Thanks again for hosting and for sharing the recap link.

Cheers!

Kori, We visited Syncline on Saturday for the first time. They were not tasting any Syrahs that day, but I greatly enjoyed and purchased some of their Cuvee Elena. Have you tried that one?

Also we discussed their closures with the tasting room lady and she indicated it was for quality and sustainability reasons. Both good enough for me.

They also have gone to some concrete tanks for fermenting and aging wines. That’ll be interesting to see if it catches on.

Melinda,
Thanks for the info on Northwest Totem Cellars. I’m glad to see other wineries giving glass closures a try. Cheers!

I enjoyed your notes for WBW. I will have to check out Kerloo when I get a chance. Regarding glass enclosures, I had a bottle of Low Man Red from Northwest Totem Cellars that had a glass enclosure. According to their website they have gone to glass on all their red wines.
