Private Preserve - funny taste?

[lizardbrains]

Hey! Long time no "see"! I am still suffering the effects of a baby on my drinking habits, so I'm slowly easing back into being able to drink wine again! I had asked a while back about how to get a wine to last a little longer in the bottle after having been opened, and I do believe that Private Preserve was suggested... so now I have a follow up question for ya!

I opened a bottle of red wine, drank a glass or two, and then used my Private Preserve (an inert gas that you spray into the bottle) and corked it quickly. Two nights later I went to drink the wine, so I opened it, poured it, and tasted - it tasted really weird... perhaps like the Private Preserve? So I dumped that glass and just recorked like normal (not using the Private Preserve). The next night I had a glass and it was back to tasting normal.

So... what's the point of Private Preserve if it's going to make my wine taste funny? Or should I have let my glass of wine air out for a few hours before drinking it??

(I know, I know - you're going to ask why on earth I'm not finishing the bottle! With my hubby on deployment, and since I'm still nursing my baby, I really don't have that sort of drinking stamina right now!!!) :-)

Thanks!,
Elizabeth
