The Corkscrew

In the early Shop days at The Wise Old Dog I had a customer we called "Sarge."  He was a training officer at the local barracks and always in tip-top uniformed shape.  Fit and finish!  He'd stop in faithfully five-six days per week and buy a single Budweiser can.  His routine, as we proudly reported, was to then hop in the car, head straight home, climb into a favorite chair, and enjoy his tallboy.  He would say, "'Cause Gents, you know you're HOME when you've got your socks off..."

I open a LOT of wine.  I open wine at The Shop, in the dining room(s) of my friends' restaurants, at private dinners, wine shows, on the road, and...at HOME.  There's one corkscrew that, no matter what does not leave my house.  It's my favorite color Navy Blue, lives in a sacred spot in one of our countless kitchen drawers and nobody's allowed to touch it but me.  Rather unremarkable in many respects, I just love it.  I've held it tight and trusted it for my most important evenings: those spent at home with my family and friends.

And now, you, too, can enjoy the reliable utility of a classic Pulltaps corkscrew, the very best in simply-hinged, two-stage design.  This one is that same classic navy blue replete with a custom-printed white logo from our partner The Wise Old Dog.  As we slow down together, this once promises to be there for you for at least the next 3,000 bottles.  Snag one today.  limited item.
