Barbaresco Nebbiolo 1998
Comes in handy when wanting to try a wine before opening another bottle. It’s also fun to share samples with friends. If you end up opening, oh well. That’s what’s fun.
Ok no matter what you do - needling a wine changes it - in particular Rieslings loose their ethereal elegance. Reds hold up better. But putting the wine back for long term storage is just BS. Plus the carriages are stupid expensive so for some time i used off label ones and was able to get rid of the plastic with some soaking in organic solvents and then was able to use any cartridge. There are even some contraptions out there were you could attach a larger Argon tank to the Coravin which I have seen in wine stores. These will last forever! But i am a Chemist by training so i just build my own Argon line with two spouts and a Mega Argon tank under the stove which will last a year.
So i will donate mine. Is old anyways.

Colla’s wonderful winemaking on full display. Transparent Nebbiolo, with loads of Bussia character. Drinking well now but give it lots of air. — a month ago

First time using a Coravin. Not sure I love it. Be interested in others’ experiences. — 11 days ago
