Soy sauce?

Never had that one. Yeeks!

But I am a strong proponent of screw caps. I really hate opening a good bottle of wine and getting that first whiff of TCA. And I've found that I'm super-sensitive to it, noticing it before others.

I went to a nice, sit down, tasting at one of our better wine stores and noticed the bottle of Meursault they served our table was tainted. When I pointed it out others at our table spoke up. The interesting thing was many at the other tables wanted to taste/smell the wine because they were unaware of tainting. This was a invited group who has to buy a lot of wine from this store to be invited, so I was shocked that they didn't know how to detect TCA.
