Need help. Last night husband openned a 97 Merlot - cork just fell apart. Someday I need to find one of those long tweezer things. I poured mine into a gray separator and then poured it into my glass. Husband poured a bunch down the drain. Have about a glass left in the bottle and I think I will pour it into the wine vinegar that has a mother. The kitchen island has a wine rack-probably not the best place to store the wine but some has been there so long I doubt moving them would help. I know I have junk mixed with great wine-Husband has been “what shall we open this weekend?” to use up some of the stuff I just had to buy. Have a 1978 Jordan Cab. It was great on our first date in 84 so sometime between then and?? I picked it up. Any suggestions on how to open this one? Should I get out my gravy strainer or mother vinegar?
