Why don’t you share your findings with us?

I’m generally just concerned about a half-consumed bottle making it to Day 2.

Have a nice day!

Stopper both – and pump one.

Give it more life with a pump from the Vacu Vin stopper.”

Methinks you’re no longer a Doctor of Vino, but, rather, someone who has succumbed to persistent marketing. Here’s that wine class you missed…

Take two bottles, drink half from each. Mix together and redistribute half back into each. (So you have the same wine/same amount in both.) Now, pump one (for as long as you’d like – really!), but not the other. Put both in the fridg. Come back in 4 days. Let them sit out for an hour to warm up. Blind taste test (a good time to see if you can pour from those slippery velvet bags (above) without spilling). Report.

(One hint: do this with a wine that can actually age in a cellar for 5 years without going brown/fading/etc.)

I’ll take several of those, please! And, I must admit a certain hankering for those labels…

I have the Oldman book and as much as I hate to admit it, it’s a good read.
