Cayuse loses to flawed corks

[Peter Creasey]

Bad stoppers could cost Christophe Baron’s winery millions of dollars

A batch of faulty corks is forcing top Washington winery Cayuse Vineyards to shelve the release of many of its 2015 wines, a potential loss of more than $3 million.

Nearly 3,000 cases of 750ml bottles are affected, plus 2,678 magnums. The wines include some of winemaker Christophe Baron’s most highly rated bottlings: Bionic Frog, Cailloux Vineyard, En Chamberlin and En Cerise Syrahs.

Per the article, Cayuse is working with their insurance company to refund money to subscribers. Will the insurance company go after the cork maker in court?
