Curt Goodsill, Special Advisor/Client Services
A native of Hawaii and 33-year veteran of the cork business, Curt Goodsill landed his first job out of college at Latchford Packaging which was a prominent cork producer in the US at the time. He rose through the company eventually assuming the role of General Manager during his decade-long tenure before moving to Lafitte Cork & Capsule where he continued his career for another ten years before joining Portocork America.
After working for more than ten years at Portocork America, Goodsill transitioned from the role of President to Special Advisor/Client Services providing Portocork's customers with unparalleled continuity and expertise in the cork industry.
The most significant advancements that Goodsill has witnessed throughout his wine industry career are the increasing quality of the wines and the investment by the cork industry in science and research which has resulted in the ability to detect, measure and calibrate TCA. Goodsill enjoys tennis, cycling and, of course, really great wine.
