I just opened a Petite Syrah from Quixote that employed a screw cap, and the feeling wasn't the same. I felt empty and unfulfilled for a minute. Then, I pulled myself together, poured a couple of glasses, twisted the cap on and set the bottle on it's side in the fridge to drop the temperature a few degrees. Thinking of that benefit, especially with white wines, makes me a believer in Screw Caps. I can agree with you on the nostalgic feeling of a cork.

I do, however, see the benefits of it from a producers standpoint but I just don't get the same nostalgic feeling from listening to a cap being loosened as I do from a cork being popped...POP! That's the sound I like to hear from my wine! I believe it's the first sense used when enjoying wine. I personally do not like the idea of a screw cap.
