As I was abroad and a couple of miles from the point of sale I just left it a day and re-tasted it (it still tasted off) however I would have loved to be able to confirm that it was indeed corked.Murraynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780920651237433249.post-19308264185158289172009-09-01T11:41:59.404+01:002009-09-01T11:41:59.404+01:00Yes, I think so as well, the punter must leave the...Yes, I think so as well, the punter must leave the shop happy and, as you say, you can always enjoy the dregs...Gabriel Cooneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05899930885338681838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780920651237433249.post-32627915027873433942009-08-31T20:42:55.956+01:002009-08-31T20:42:55.956+01:00I used to have a real problem with Chateau Musar. ...I used to have a real problem with Chateau Musar.

Sometimes a customer would buy two bottles and con vince himself (it was always a Him)that there was something wrong with one of the bottles. Trouble was he never knew which one one. As he'd already drunk the first he'd bring back (the dregs of) the second. Often the dregs were fantastic as a day had passed since the bottle had been opened. Couldn't educate against it so just enjoyed the dregs.<br />No Quibble: Best Policy.firstpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11190691460610534516noreply@blogger.com
