Exciting new toy: Coravin

11 March 2018

Coravin means one can try bottles in one's cellar without opening them

I have been putting my Coravinto good use since I collected a few mixed cases of ready-for-drinking bottles from my own portfolio. Coravin is a genius invention that allow one, via a fine needle, to extract a glass of wine from a bottle without opening it. The wine is replace by a squirt of Argon gas and, thereafter, the bottle may be returned to one's cellar for further ageing.

Many of the bottles I have been/will be sampling have appeared on Bowes Wine offers over the years. And I am sure that some of you will have these wines in your collections, thus I have started a series of video tasting notes:a collection that will expand over time.

First up are:

2008 Barolo Ginestra, Paolo Conterno
2011 St Aubin 1er Cru En Montceau, Marc Colin

With many more in the pipeline.
