When presented w i th a cork tod ay, feel it to check for its
integrit y, read and mat c h t h e bra n di ng on the c o rk to the
bott le a n d set it as ide. There i s lit t l e to be learned from
the cork. The proof is in t h e w i n e .
“C orked” w i nes. If you’v e ever had a wi ne that smelled or
ta st ed of mo ld, you’ ve experi enced a wine that ma y have
been “cor ked.” Today, between five an d eig h t per c en t of
wi nes a r e ta inted wi th Tric hl oroa ni sol e ( T C A ). Thi s

Myth 3: When age w o rthy wines peak, they m u st be
