A Whole New Twist

Geyser Peak Winery is committed to bringing you exceptional wines…in the best possible condition. Therefore, we confidently seal each bottle of white wine with a screw cap.

• Screw caps provide the best seal, virtually eliminating oxidation or the chance that a wine is “corked.”
• Screw cap wines are fresher - alive, abounding with flavors and a pleasure to drink. This is perfect for our aromatic white wine, as their freshness is the cornerstone of the experience.
• Screw caps more effectively preserve the delicate aromatics of our award-winning Sauvignon Blanc.
• Screw caps showcase perfectly our fruit-forward style of Chardonnay - just the way our winemaker intended it.

What Is the Industry saying about Screw Cap Closures?

“When you have a wine quality 'failure rate' of 3-10% based on the organic nature of corks, Stelvin closures are a proverbial no brainer. Study after study demonstrate that this alternative is the way to go for quality control while having the value added benefit of ease of service for staff in restaurants and consumers at home. And even the nay-sayers on wine age worthiness have been shown up with so many side-by-side tastings of wines in cork and Stelvin illuminating the freshness factor of the screw capped wine versus the corked finished example".
- Evan Goldstein, MS, VP of Global Brand Education, Beam Wine Estates

"If any other industry that produces consumable items like the Dairy or Cattle industry had the failure rate in one of their products that we accept with natural corks; Congressional hearings would be called, companies would be devalued, markets would be lost and heads would roll. There is no way anyone would stand for it so why as consumers and wine professionals do we?"
- Keith Goldston, MS

“I think that Stelvin closures benefit the winemakers the most. When one’s wine has a single chance to make a good impression and it is ruined due to a flawed cork combined with a consumer that is not familiar with TCA, it is too big of a gamble to not consider alternative closures.”
- Emily Wines, Sommelier at Fifth Floor

"With a cork failure rate of up to 5%, I am whole-heartedly in favor of screw caps for the vast majority of wines. It is hard to think of another industry that accepts a defective rate of 5% for a consumer product. While corks are still the best solution for bottles destined for long-term aging, these wines represent only a fraction of the overall market."
- Geoff Kruth, Wine Director/Sommelier at the Farmhouse Inn

"Thank you, Stelvin closures! I can't imagine a better friend of any drink-me-now wine - or those buying them. Reliable, clean and easy to store and open. Want it fresh and sound? Screw around!"
- Shayn Bjornholm, MS, Wine Director at Canlis Restaurant in Seattle

"You would be hard pressed to argue the distinct advantages of the screw cap when used on wines that are not made for long aging. For freshness, ease of service and the elimination of corkiness it makes total sense. The large percentage of wines in the USA are consumed within eight hours of their purchase.“
- Fred Dame, MS, Prestige On-Premise Director, Beam Wine Estates

“Enjoying wine at the table today is more communal and less ritualistic. Keep the main thing the main thing. It's what's in the bottle that counts and quality assurance can't be compromised. Twist and Serve with Stelvin."
- John Blazon, MS, Manager of Beverage Standards at Walt Disney World

“At Bellagio it’s our goal to provide a perfect experience for our guest. That experience isn’t perfect if we serve a corked wine. Stelvin closures on young wines guarantee that our guest will enjoy a vital, non-corked wine at its best.”
- Robert J. Bigelow, MS, Director of Wine Bellagio Resort Hotel & Casino
