Ooh it might be corked. Ooh I want to see how it’s progressing but I don’t want to open it. Ooh I read once that once you open a bottle it gets really bad on the second day even if you put it in the fridge.
Using the frat boy, Marlboro Man, football player or other common formulas for identifying a “real man,” would any wine geek be one in the first place, with or without a Coravin?
That’s the beauty of the Coravin, if the wine is ready to drink, pop the cork and enjoy! If its not, you’ve tasted a phase of the wines life without committing to the whole bottle. Slip that bottle back in the cellar and taste again next year. Granted, the Coravin isn’t for everyone, but I sure do like what it’s providing me right now.
I laughed also about the dichotomy of me bashing Coravin in one thread last night while popping a Beaujolais for comfort food. Does that result in my Man-Card being revoked?
Real men aren’t afraid to drink Beaujolais. Or Rombauer Chardonnay in a fern bar. Or something with an animal on the label. Real men drink whatever they can get their hands on, and they drink all of it. All in the name of research.
Clearly, Craig, you are incapable of comprehending the milliseconds saved in a 4-hour race by a sexy leg shave. At least the word “Man-Scaping” still has the word 'Man" in it!
Not serious. Original post serious for me personally. And I wouldn’t like a host pouring me a Coravinned glass of wine. Saving the rest of the bottle for better guests?
So if your host coravined a glass from a prestigious wine you would feel slighted? How about if he or she coravined from a vertical of a prestigious wines or a specific year across several producers? Does your objection relate to the amount of wine offered? Maybe I wouldn’t appreciate a single glass of a common everyday drinker but I think I would appreciate any of the above mentioned scenarios.
