Enterprising California winemakers are embracing them too. Don Sebastiani & Sons playfully named one of its brands Screw Kappa Napa. Randall Grahm, owner of Bonny Doon Vineyard, held a mock funeral for the cork in 2002; today 99% of his wines use screw caps. Fetzer and Stone Cellars by Beringer have gone so far as to put their single-serving screw-top wines in plastic bottles. Whitehall Lane goes a step further and uses elegant glass stoppers for its expensive bottlings...
...liven up the rather dry French toast, Stone offered Bonny Doon Framboise, which tasted like viciously spiked cough syrup—cloying sweet, but strangely astringent. “Framboise is the French for blackberry or raspberry,” she said, sipping it. “Yes, blackberry, I think. Definitely blackberry.” Framboise is the French word for raspberry...
...accompanying book, Diane Arbus: Revelations (Random House) includes a detailed chronology of Arbus' life that was prepared with the assistance of her daughter Doon, who controls the Arbus estate and who long refused to allow writers to use Arbus pictures to accompany their work unless they submitted it first to her for approval. But Diane Arbus is no longer shocking in the way she was 30 years ago. To begin with, the world has changed. (A man with tattoos on his face? Take any bus.) More than that, we've absorbed the lessons that Arbus taught. If she still appears...
...item on the increased use of screw tops instead of corks for wine bottles mistakenly referred to Bonny Doon's $130 Cabernet [Your Time, Dec. 30-Jan. 1]. Bonny Doon does not produce a Cabernet or any $130 wine. Our reference should have been to the PlumpJack Vineyard's $145 screw-top Cabernet...
...rotting of the wine. Some manufacturers have tried using plastic corks, but they don't always form a perfect seal and can impart their own flavor. So this year, many wineries are switching to screw tops--the same technology you find when opening a Colt 45. California's Bonny Doon, whose $130 Cabernet opens with a flick of the wrist, threw a funeral for the cork in New York City in October. The cork industry is fighting back with a p.r. campaign, but that won't stop vintners like New Zealand's Kim Crawford, whose bottles are all being switched...
