The Perfect Sommelier
I just came across a wine product that could turn out to revolutionize the way we little people drink wine. It's called "The Perfect Sommelier" and what it does is age wine in 30 minutes flat. I'm still not 100 % sure how it works, but apparently, it works. He's a bit from the testimonial Anthony Dias-Blue, the wine editor at Bon Apetit Magazine, gives -
The skeptic is convinced. I'm the biggest skeptic in the book, so when I received a gizmo called The Perfect Sommelier, which was supposed to 'age' wine in a matter of minutes, I though "Oh sure!" For sake of experiment, I set up a tasting of an Italian Brunello, a wine that's known for being tight and unapproachable when young. One glass was exposed to the effect of The Perfect Sommelier; another wasn't. Frankly, I was surprised to find that there was, in fact, a rather large difference. The wine will show softer tannins and rounder fruit, as if it had been aged for several years."
The system costs between $40 and $55 and works using a pair of magnets. It's supposed to work great on a younger, average wine that could stand to mature. I think this is definitely going on the Christmas list.
