- Tim Connery - 06-21-1999 Just got back from my wine dealer telling him he sold me a corked bottle of wine (Moet Burt Imperial). Said he has been selling wine for 29 years and never heard of it. Gave me another bottle only because I spend $100's there. How can I get this guy some information to educate him? - Bucko - 06-21-1999 If he has been selling wine for 29 years and does not know what "corked" means, I think that I would be looking for another shop! How can you trust recommendations.......... Bucko - Thomas - 06-22-1999 Anyone who has been selling wine for 29 years, and who has no idea what corkiness is, likely is neither capable nor interested in being educated. - Jerry D Mead - 06-23-1999 The only observation I would make here is Tim TOLD his dealer he had a corked bottle...proper etiquette would have been to take the nearly full bottle back to the merchant. Still, there's no excuse for the merchant's ignorance. He can educate himself by sending $3 to: Wine Trader, Attn: "Corky", POBox 1598, Carson City, NV 89702...he'll receive a sample of the chemical which causes cork taint along with an explanation. JDM |
