Corked or Cooked or Just Plain Bad?

[Stealthman]

winoweenie,
That's a great idea, I do indeed still have the cork as I have a little 6 bottle rack we put poor beautiful bottles that have given their souls for our enjoyment so we can remember them long after the hangover has passed. That bottle is in that rack. If we can get the foil to slide off intact we try to make a half-assed attempt to refoil them to their original full beauty after refilling them with water and 15 drops of red, 10 drops of blue food coloring. This bottle was left empty as I couldn't get that gol-danged monster cork back in without herniating myself! Just so happens I was going to go over to Napa next week to chase down a couple large formats from BV as I keep seeing people with copies of Wine Drivvel in hand walk out of retailers with cases and cases of my favorite blend [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/frown.gif[/img] and though my stash is in place I think I better get my biggies quick. I'll make an appointment with Caymus for a tasting and wag the cork and bottle along with me. Now I gotta go dig the other bottle out which unfortunately I buried two weeks ago when I reorganized, yikes!
