Paulette and PS WIne
(We're trying to get photos.)

Our ’67 classmate Paulette Bullard is today a co-owner of PS Wine, located at 188 South Indian Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, CA 92262, 322-4411. Paulette is Paulette Wright now.

PS Wine has been featured several times now in the magazine Palm Springs Life. The following is an excerpt:

Paulette Wright, co-owner of P.S. Wine in downtown Palm Springs, also counts among her regular clientele a few holdouts.

“I have a customer who absolutely loves The Last Ditch viognier [from Australia], but he will not buy it because it has a screw cap. Other people don’t care at all.”

In fact, Wright says, tourists visiting her store sometimes request screw-cap wines because they forgot to pack a corkscrew. She believes screw caps are fine for white wines that people tend to drink right away. However, she says, “I will never support red wines with screw caps. I don’t think it’s fair to the wine.”

No doubt the traditional and romantic French populace would applaud, particularly in Bordeaux where they lay their wines down for up to 50 years. Though screw-cap French wines are rare, P.S. Wine carries a Tortoise Creek Vin de Pays d’Oc rosé and Cuistot got its first screw-cap wines from France in September. Ironically, it is a French-based company, Pechiney Capsules, that claims the largest share of the wine screw-cap market.
