A good extension to the New World - Old World discussion would be a comparison of cork vs screw top and the relative merits of each. Where are each most appropriate, hig-low alcohol, aging required, etc. Keep up the good work - also like the Margan wines. Nice to hear them mentioned.

I’m relatively new to wine, I found a label I like - John Irvine, the Eden Crest Merlot, I like to hear your opinion of this producer and any others of a similar price/quality you would recomend to try.

We recorded a show a few weeks ago but lost the whole file and have only had the time to do it again this week. It’s done but i’m in Hawaii for a week so it’s an effort to edit it here. Been setting up a lot of interviews too which will do when i get back. There’s a lot coming up, so stay tuned. Cam, thanks for the patience.

It’s great to hear that the show is helping to get you more into wine - the snowball has started rolling. I know that the more i learn about wine, the more i appreciate it. If there’s any topic you’d like discussed then let us know. Kenneth,
