    Amex Travel Credit - covid implication

    I get the feeling from my calls that they originally thought that people would let the credits lapse - win for AMEX, however they really cannot get away with it when pushed. It's dubious conduct.

    How do you store your wine [+ Fridge/Cabinet recommendations]

    From memory it was a global issue in the 70's caused by the fashion for cork shoes. I've recently opened an 82 Wynn's Cabernet with a stunning cork. Of course TCA barely exists in modern cork thanks to recent technology to detect the bacterial at the cork production stage.

    I'd suggest you start with a Shiraz blend from a good vintage 10+ years old to see if you like the style. Can find at reasonable prices at auctions such as MW Wines, wickman oddbins etc.
