$300 wine

So, a few years back, for whatever reason, Aaron's boss (at the time) had given us a bottle of wine. Apparently it was a very expensive bottle of wine. We had planned on waiting for a special occasion to drink it, and once we learned that we were going to be moving, we decided to have it in our new house. Well, we were thinking that was going to be in Chicago-so another year goes by-with no house, and not drinking our pricey wine. Now here we are in Ohio, finally in our house-and we decided to celebrate and drink up!

We first wanted to open it when we were done moving everything in-however we couldn't find our corkscrew to open it! On the 4th-between cooking out and fireworks-we decided again that it was time to try again. My parents were here along with my friend Crystal. We could still not find the corkscrew (I still can't-and I believe that every kitchen box is unpacked-hmmm). Crystal's friend Karl came over-and came to the rescue bringing a corkscrew for us to use!! We were excited to finally taste what a couple of hundred dollars tasted like in a wine.

Aaron goes to open it-and the cork splits in half!

We were unable to get the other half of the corkscrew out of the bottle. It became quite hilarious as we were trying to figure out what to do! We ended up shoving the other half into the wine (little cork pieces and all). Even jokingly got out the strainer to pour our wine!

It ended up working out okay-a few pieces of cork here and there to pick out of your teeth-but not too bad. The wine was actually very delicious-I wish I could describe it-just perfect!!! Too bad there wasn't a second bottle to go around! Oh well!!
