[SOC] SOC Certificate

[Norm Lee]

Hang about guys - Living here in the McLaren Wine District of South 
Australia I can give you the tip that all the BEST wine now comes in 
screw caps (called stelvin caps here, cos we invented them!!)   There 
are a few wineries still holding onto the cork, but apart from the 
sparkly wines, it's all Stelvin.  It started when Portugal and Spain 
sent us a bum batch of cork which oxidated the wines.  Apparently Oz was 
down on the list of who to send the best cork to, way down the list from 
France and Italy and Germany etc.  So, we said - in true Ozzy fashion - 
Stuff you, we'll do it ourselves!  The moral of the story is that wines 
in Stelvin caps don't age anywhere near as fast as corked wines, so you 
can drink you Semillon/Sauvignon blanc 2005 and it will be as fresh as 
your 2009!   So, Ban the cork and drink only the Best Ozzy Wine In the 
Stelvin Cap.  And thereby have a Very Happy Christmas and a peaceful, 
prosperous new year.  I will - just got meself a Squid Pole and an 
HB-1A.  BLISS.
