masi Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I had a Dehesa La Granja 2001 a few days back. Made of 100% Tempranillo grape, mid to deep red color with a lush scent of cherries oak mild spice and vanilla. Body, finish and tannins were elegant. Bods, Storm, Boomouse, idunno, just to let you know that eagleyes is still in town and anyone of you looking for an impromptu eb, let me know. Quote Link to comment

masi Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 saan sa fort? i think it will be very close to the "strip" which is very close to your place. at any rate, pareng storm is sorting out the details and we'll hear from him. Quote Link to comment
new2dabeat Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I'd push the cork as far in as possible - more cork in means a better seal and restricting the amount of air inthe bottle. You can also get a vaccum cap system taht lets you pump tha air out of the bottle. This supposedly helps - I've never tried it myself. The other option is an aerosol can of nitrogen (generally available here in the US under the brand name "WineSaver". You fill the bottle with nitrogen, displacing all the air in the bottle. Since nitrogen is inert, the wine has nothing toreact with and should keep. I tend to stick with the simple method - cork in as far as possible, bottle int he fridge (even reds!). The lower temperature slows down any bacterial action and any reaction between the wine and air. David Bruce (of the winery by the same name in Santa cruz County) used to claim that a good bottle of wine shoud last at least 4 days after being opened. I typically finish off a bottle in 2-3 days. I've used (and continue using) the vacuum method. Simple enough to use (specially designed stopper and a hand-pump to vacuum the air out once the stopper is in place) and quite effective in my opinion. I've had wine stay quite drinkable upwards of a week. YMMV of course depending on the initial quality of the wine. Quote Link to comment
