Has anyone tried the 2014 Rifle Range or the 2013 Rod and Spur? I usually buy both.

Fortunately I've only had one bung bottle form them to date (2011 Semillon) but I've probably only consumed 50 - 60 various bottles over the last few years.
But that's an amusing observation
While Robert has anything to do with it (and I hope he does for many more years yet!), the premiums won't be getting screwcaps.

I don't disagree as I don't dislike cork, I just don't like the prospect of my very few bottles kept for specific occasions failing over the next 10 - 15 years when opened.
I started reading the Rag last night night and apparently after many years and dollars of development, their cork supplier can now provide cork that prevents TCA. It sounds like Rockford shall test for a year and report about it in next years Rag.
If that stops potential failures, I'd be happy to keep pulling cork.
