I would agree that trying a wine over time is the best way to see the evolution of a wine but I found the experiment a joke in regards to how negative up front everyone was. A try experiment would have been to compare two wines blind and see which one they liked better. No bias needed with this technique. Also using better wines would have helped give a clearer picture.

The only thing I would use a venturi injector for is to get insecticide or fertilizers to my vines.
I’d open a bottle, taste it, pour it into a ten-dollar decanter, go up to my vineyard, fill the reservoir with whatever I’m injecting, run the water and go back to check on the wine. If ready, I’d let the timer on the water line run out. If it was not ready, I’d go do something else until the wine opened up.

Doc, I have a pair of RedNeks right next to my cellar, which I use instead of my Riedels for romantic occasions. And the point about the travel mug is well-taken. Anyone owning these glasses no doubt also has a churchkey close at hand. I used mine to create a sipping orfice in the lid of one of my glasses, so that, other than the difficulty of getting the candlestick base into the cup holder in my car, I have a travel mug of nearly the utility of a Starbuck’s cup…

Robin – Yeah, the shelf-talkers at that shop could be a cute idea but seem to beed to work on the execution.

Gab – Alert Wine Enthusiast and maybe they will start selling them as such!

some of my favorite wine-drinking experiences have come out of a mason jar. while i appreciate the sentiment, adding a stem seems to cheapen the experience. i’ll drink my mason-jar wine the old-fashioned way

Stating that Drappier drinkers would enjoy both Puccini and Tom Jones is truly covering all the bases. To the point of being meaningless.

If the Venturi aerator can change something it will change something and isn’t that the American way?
