The tool which is essential to my job is my Durand corkscrew. We open so much older wine; it saves me an incredible amount of time in not breaking corks.
We were in Atlanta last weekend and a number of the lucky recipients of Durands were discussing how well they work. I mentioned some old ’70’s vintage California wines, and even some ’82 Bordeaux that benefitted from using it. Couldn’t have done it without one.
Also, used it on a 1974 Phelps California Cab last week and it saved the day as well as the bottle.
