How To Use an Ah-So Wine Opener

Discover how to use an Ah-So wine opener with Winemaker Matt Crafton, recommended for opening library vintages of Chateau Montelena Chardonnay and Estate Cabernet. This easy-to-use tool is a staple in any wine collectors arsenal as it’s the preferred method to open wines 15 years or older, where corks can become brittle and fall apart while using a standard corkscrew.
Pick up an Ah-So during your next visit to the Chateau, at your favorite local wine shop, or online.

Thanks Matt! Very timely for the 2003 cab we just got! Ordered one and am practicing before taking some bottles to the fam in December!

Would one of those devices that pumps air into the bottle through a needle work for this? Or is that a bad idea?

使用气体的取酒器，有爆瓶风险。
