You have to do it next time with Adam on your fancy artsy-fartsy restaurants.
Ask for a 59 Lafite Rothschild…
Remeber to put clean hole-free socks though…

An alcoholic will find the bottom of any bottle in any situation at any time, hurdles be damned.

Daddy taught me that french wine had screw-on caps, ala T-Bird and MD 20/20.

I hope they remembered to let the wine breathe before drinking it.

Actually an old trick. I learned about it from a wine rep. when I worked at a restaurant years ago, though we didn’t use a show and a wall.

I thought everyone learned this trick in college. We usually used magazines or soft covered texts to cushion the impact. Lab solutions manuals were about right

I’ve learned something useful today!

I saw a Romanian open one much faster by just pushing in the cork with his finger. I would have thought the tight cork and the pressure in the bottle would not allow this.

Pushing in the cork is a strategy if the cork has rotted a bit and a corkscrew won’t pull it out. You should decant the wine though because bits of cork floating in the glass detract from the enjoyment.

We used to do this with a phone book.

Just don’t try this with champagne or sparkling wines, ok?

# 16 Lou said, on November 8th, 2009 at 4:50 pm

That’s why I drink beer.

“Only the French! ”

Uh, and college students.
Oh, and the guy who sleeps in the cardboard box on 7th Ave…

Note to blog. John finds a way to repost this idea once a year.
