Getting a cork tested

Is there a lab or similar that a consumer can send a cork to in order to have it evaluated for TCA?

This is to settle a stupid bet.

Thanks

Rob,

You might be able to send it to ETS Labs in Napa or Paso.

Of course, if the results are inconclusive it still does not mean you are wrong . . .

Cheers.

Yup, Rob…as Larry mentioned ETS Labs can do that. But the $$ cost to you may far outweigh any $$
you get from your stupid bet unless he was really stupid.
And bear in mind, TCA in a wine doesn’t necessarily come from the cork…though most often does.
Sometimes it’s better to just be wrong and let it go.

Open your most treasured bottle, re-cork with it, and try the wine in a week.
