It's a Capsule, Dude.


"Why didn't I think of that?"
was my first response when old pal Walt Averill told me about his latest creative venture, Capabunga!
A reusable, silicone capsule for sealing open wine bottles. 

 Simple, right?  Well, yes and no.  Some of the most "simple" gadgets and contraptions typically don't come to fruition until something has been tested at least a few hundred times, or in this case, probably a few thousand would be more like it.  Walt said the idea literally came to him in the middle of the night and the following morning told his lovely wife Maire Murphy about it and they went to work.  Nine months later their wine baby was born and Capabunga! 
 The rest is history.

Genius.  Pure genius. 
 Why DIDN'T I think of that??? 
 Well, probably because I am not Walt or Maire.  These two are wine business veterans who have done everything possible in the industry- all the with their infectious energy, hard work, determination, and outrageous humor.  Check out here all the other cool stuff this dynamic wine duo is cookin' up.


Capabunga, dude.  The reusable, silicone wine cap.  Get it.
