The nose of a wine
Dear Wine Ladies,
Does the “nose” of a wine just mean its smell or is it more complicated than that?

Have your wife try some lighter reds first
Dear Wine Ladies,
As a true fan of red wine how it pains me to see my wife missing out on all the fabulous Cabernets, Shiraz’s and Malbecs out there for the tasting! Unfortunately she doesn’t see it, or taste it that way! I find myself often giving in and opting for the Chardonnay or the Pinot Grigio… again. Are there any red wines in particular that a novice red wine drinker might be more likely to enjoy?

How to extract a crumbly cork
Dear Wine Ladies,
This may sound like a silly question but I’m truly at odds on the best way to deal with a crumbly cork! Last night, once again, while trying to open a bottle of wine the cork was dry and crumbly. The harder I tried, and the further I drove the cork screw, the more the cork crumbled and then finally ended up in fragments in the bottle. Is there a way to properly extract a crumbly cork? I’m throwing a big birthday bash and don’t want to be fussing with floating cork! Thanks Wine Ladies!
Chris
