Corked Wines.

I've ranted about this many times before on this board and had lots of discussions with Jerry who seemed to have more than his share. My opinion is storage contributes more to this condition than any single other factor. Jerry stored his wine under the stairs, in the garage, the closet or any other place, consequently, he had a large percentage of rotten bottles. Since I had my present cellar built in 1983 I've had exactly 1(ONE) corked bottle come out of it from wines where I could track the provenance. Some of the bottles I brought down from my cellar in Denver didn't have the same percentage. All I've tried to stress is that even tho brett may be present in 10% of the bottles, with proper storage it wont rear its' ugly smell as often given the maximum 50-55* and 60-70% humididity. So There!. WW [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img]
