plattetude Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Amazing gadget that lets you pour from a bottle without uncorking it. Very damn smart. http://mashable.com/2013/07/31/coravin-wine/ Christopher 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sneakeater Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I'd still end up finishing every bottle I start, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
taion Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Isn't this effectively a smaller-scale Enomatic? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SLBunge Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Although it says it is not for use with sparkling wine it would be kind of fun to try. Wear safety glasses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SFJoe Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I'd still end up finishing every bottle I start, though. Sure, but now you can refill the fancy ones and sell them for a good price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neocon maudit Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 They are employing the Coravin at The NoMad, which may be a good excuse to revisit the restaurant. According to The New York Times, it's one of only 'a dozen or so' restaurants in America using the Coravin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neocon maudit Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I scanned the wine list, and The NoMad is indeed offering a 'reserve glasses' list 'using Coravin technology'. Some examples: domaine Dujac, Charmes-Chambertin, 2007 ... $100 Alain Hudelot-Noëllat, Vosne-Romanée, 'Les Beaumonts', 2005 ... $80 Tenuto San Guido, Sassicaia, 1999 ... $130 Jean-Paul et Jean-Luc Jamet, Côte-Rôtie, 2006 ... $50 R. López de Heredia, Viña Bosconia Gran Reserva, 1976 ... $110 château d'Yquem, 1999 ... $90 Still fairly steep prices, of course, and not all the vintages offered are of the best. But I do hope the technology and the practice spread, at least to every upmarket restaurant in town. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sneakeater Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Going for the douches. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
taion Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Why would the douches want a glass rather than the whole bottle? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Going for the wannabe douches. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GordonCooks Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Going for the wannabe douches. We call them Louis XIII douches up my way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
