Corked or Cooked or Just Plain Bad?

[Stealthman]

Thanks for the info, from what I'm now understanding I think we have run across two to three potentially corked bottles over the past year, one cooked (the '94 George was purchased this past summer), and who the heck knows with the Caymus SS. As you guys know it has a big ole cork and as soon as I pulled the foil I thought, uh-oh! It had not leaked, but it was spotted on top with wine stain and when pulled the cork sides were also stained with spots of dried wine. Not the typical, wine had worked its way up the sides of the cork stain, that is typical of bottles that have set for a few years. I have one other bottle, purchased at the same time that I'm tempted to pull the foil on just to see the top and sides of the cork. Anyway thanks again and here's to WS not naming any of the wines I drink to any of their dumb lists.
