Just won a bottle of Opus One 1996 at a wine pull at the Great Forest Park Balloon Race. Wonderful event, by the way, and I love to support The Humane Society. The cork dissolved into the bottle the second the corkscrew touched it. I strained the wine through cheesecloth 3 times to get all the fragments of cork out. I would like to know, if in a blind testing, the average wine lover could distinguish this $250.00 wine from Franciscan Merlot or Rossi Paisano.
