I did it - and survived!

So I opened the French wine, and was surprised at the colour. It's held up well, still a hint of red freshness with browner overtones.

The cork simply fell to bits.

On tasting, was like being punched in the mouth by a Port; it has fortified, with a short flat finish. Not too bad, really.  OK, it's shite, and I only had 3 sips, shuddering with each one, but I was happy to put my body on the line for the sake of this blog.

Needless to say I ate my dinner with a glass of water. 

Coming up, Rockfords, Charles Melton and more. Will they be drinkable? Have they survived my garage?
