Sparkling wine sealed with a bottlecap? You decide, America.

Notice anything odd about the bottle of sparkling Shiraz in the photo below? If you said "it's a Shiraz that has bubbles in it," then I guess you'd be right... that is sort of odd. What's odder, though, is that it's sealed not with a classic mushroom-shaped Champagne cork, but with a crown cap -- the same kind you'll find on soda and beer. What the foil?

Events Calendar

Some of you may have noticed that our events calendar (in the left hand column) has had some growth recently. Although all of these events aren't "Young Winos" events we encourage you to check them out and even participate! Here in LA we love wine events and try to go to as many as possible. If you do go to a wine event, PLEASE submit your photos and perhaps a review! See you at the tasting table.
