How acceptable is it to store unopened wine in the refrigerator? Not long-term storage but keeping a couple of bottles for a week or two. I could use general advice but the wines in question are white; more specifically Chardonnay and Riesling.

My Ah-So cork puller also broke yesterday trying to open up a bottle of Moscato d'asti. To open it, I pushed the cork down into the bottle with a knife honing steel. Time to stop getting gimmick cork pullers and just get a screw one, I suppose.

How do you guys feel about wines from Texas? With liquor and beer I always try to buy locally, you know, 'Texas pride' and everything. However, I just have a hard time determining whether they are actually good or not.

It seems like the "worm" being hollow like a spring instead of solid like a screw is the preference. I'll probably get the waiter-style since it's cheaper and there are too many of the Screwpull models to sort through.

I didn't want to push the cork into the bottle because I reuse the bottles for homebrew.

Determining whether it's actually good? Drink it, like it? It's good!

I tried a couple different Texas vineyards around here in the Hill Country. None of them were particularly amazing. I suppose I'd better give them a few more decades to refine their techniques or something, I just really like supporting local businesses.
