A "little more open"?! He's the one with some of the best reds in
Austria under screw-cap: Both Solitaire and 1009 Cabernet!

Another very good guy that offers every wine under screw-cap is
Karl Fritsch in Oberstockstall (both white and red, amongst the
latter an excellent pinot noir).

Btw, there a new guy, Reinhard Waldschütz, little known, but of
impeccaple quality recently, and, as he calls himself, "an
excellent QPR guy". I would underline the latter. He was at my
place two days ago, we tasted 10 wines, and I really liked 8 of
them (which is a huge effort imho). Take a look:
