"WINE TASTING LIKE A PRO"

"CARTOON"

"BEN FRANKLIN SAID..."
"The discovery of a wine is of greater moment than the discovery of a constellation. The universe is too full of stars." -- Benjamin Franklin

"CHARLEMAGNE FACT"

Thus: Corton-Charlemagne!

"WHY CORK?"
Cork was developed as a bottle closure in the late 17th century. It was only after this that bottles were lain down for aging, and the bottle shapes slowly changed from short and bulbous to tall and slender.
