Corked

Last night we celebrated Dennis' birthday a few hours early.  He made ribs and the wine flowed freely.  Five and a half hours with 4 active drinkers and seven empty bottles.  I had a few tastes here an there but nothing really struck my fancy.
	Definitely want to keep the Pi bottle. Interested to see how the wine tastes. It was a birthday present from Cindy and Jeff. We have been known to buy bottles of wine just for the interesting bottle

A couple weeks ago, Dennis brought home some old bottles of wine and champagne from his parent's garage to dump into our compost pile. He and the boys opened a couple bottles last weekend to see if they would still pop and fizz. They said it was disappointing. Last night Scott brought one of the old wine bottles out to the porch and we opened it just to see how bad it had gotten. I screwed up trying to get the cork out but eventually we had a big enough hole in the cork to pour some into a plastic cup. It definitely smelled like vinegar. Today I decided to dump it and the remaining bottles out. One champagne cork broke in half. I was lucky enough to be able to finally figure out the corkscrew and get the remaining piece out. I did not do so well with opening the last bottle of old wine.
