Did you get some bits of cork in your excellent bottle of wine? Not all of us can be expert wine uncorkers. Don’t throw the wine out or bother decanting. It’s still very drinkable once you get the cork bits out. A restaurant-manager friend told us an easy way to do that…
Stick a paper-covered straw (like the kind you see in bars or in McDonalds…grab a bunch when you get a chance) into the bottle, and the cork will adhere to the paper like a magnet! Carefully pull out the straw. Don’t let anyone make you laugh.
