As an aside

Pertaining to the wine discussion below.

I opened a bottle of chardonnay late last week. Inserted the corkscrew. Twisted.

The corkscrew went in much too easily. Took a good look at the top, and realized it was a screw-top. I know that cheaper wines have always had screw tops, but this wasn't bottom of the line wine. I had heard that winemakers were trending away from corks, but I didn't know how far the movement had gone.

I still haven't gotten used to plastic corks...

That's true.

The plastic corks for The Little Penguin wines are cute, seeing as they have little penguins on them. It's easier to print on the plastic, I guess.
