This bottle of Merlot almost didn’t make it into my belly because the stupid cork wouldn’t come out. I was surprised they actually used a real cork for this because 1. It came from Australia. Their new-agey new worldy wines should be coming in boxes or screw tops, or at the very least plastic corkers. But nooo, BRL Hardy had to go old school on me and stick a cork in it. Halfway through trying to jiggle this cork out, it cracked. Oh I said one didn’t I? That implies there’s a two. (*ahem*Kaff??) 2. I haven’t had a bottle of real corked wine in a long time. I thought they were for the old traditional (often Euro) wineries. Well, wrong and wrong. Where do I get these crazy notions anyway? So after the cork cracked from my jiggle technique, I rescrewed the decorking device and pulled it out in one piece. Whew, “cork cracked” is hard to say real fast.
It tasted juicy!
Thats why you need to stick to tequila and beer. The only problems you might have with tequila is getting the worm out at the bottom.
yum in whatever form. :p
