Oooh. I was so excited to actually have someone out there, from France no less, contact me for a product announcement! I got a nice note from the producer of these lovely corkscrews and he was hoping for me to put in a kind word. Since I'm not a commercial blogger, I thought it best that I buy one via PayPal and give it a test before putting out the word.
This is a substantial piece of machined metal that feels great in your hand, and has enough heft that it feels like it won't break, but isn't too heavy in your pocket for that hike in the Italian Alps. As it has no leverage to speak of, it delivers a mega-pop of the cork when you pull it...most satisfying. If you have a gift to buy for an oenophile, check out their website and order one. I think I also spied it at the Ferry Building wine shop...
