Diam, Wine, and Yard Games: A Sweltering Summer Day with Yoann

Last month, we had the pleasure of hosting Yoann Canovas from Diam, and let’s just say—we corked out!

Yoann gave our team an in-depth training on all things Diam corks, diving into the science behind what might seem like a small piece of packaging but is actually a major player in the final outcome of your wine. One of the biggest takeaways? Controlled oxygen transfer and the DIAMANT® process. Diam corks are engineered to manage how much oxygen gets into the bottle over time, which can have a huge impact on wine aging and preservation. In other words, it’s not just a cork—it’s an oenological tool.

We learned how Diam uses compression and a proprietary cleaning process to guarantee cork elasticity, performance, and consistency bottle after bottle. He even gave us an exciting sneak peek at a new cork coming in 2026—more on that soon!

And what’s a cork training without some actual wine? Yoann led us through a blind tasting that had everyone guessing, sipping, and maybe even second-guessing. It was educational, engaging, and just plain fun.

After the session wrapped up, we took advantage of the sunny Maine heat (ok, more like sweltering heat) and headed to the East End for some well-deserved chill time—yard games, laughter, and cold drinks in hand.

  

We’re grateful to work in an industry where innovation meets community, and days like this are a great reminder that learning and bonding can (and should) go hand in hand. Shoutout to Yoann for spending the day with us—and cheers to corks that go way beyond the surface!
