I've been busy as heck at work (60-70 hours per week the past month or so). My poor web site has been neglected the past month or so.
I've been able to pop the cork on a few bottles of Chardonnay the past week or two, but thats about it. I'm going to open up a 2002 George Duboeuf Syrah-Merlot tonight or tomorrow. My daughter thought the bottle was "pretty" so she picked it out for me while cruising the isles at Sam's Club.
I wanted to mention also that I found a new wine opener (fancy corkscrew) at Sam's for $6.99. This is an awesome opener. I couldn't find a picture on Sam's for you, but here is a link to the same opener at Costplus World Market (for x3 the price):
It's the smaller of the two openers pictured. It makes pulling a cork a
2-3 second ordeal with little effort. If anyone is interested I'll post the manufacturer information.
Hope everyone is well, and is enjoying some good bottles.
Take care!
