The Winner Corkscrew

Perhaps the best waiter's tool corkscrew ever created. Designed by and for people who open bottles for a living.

The Winner Corkscrew works quicker and easier than any other style and works equally well with synthetic corks or natural, long or short corks, hard or crumbly corks. In a recent trial with 225 Sommeliers in the top pouring restaurants in America, more than 80 percent preferred The Winner over other corkscrews they have been using.

The Pocket Wine Journal

is the handiest way to remember wines that you’ve had when you’re out on the town. Mark designed this for himself. He would have a wine, write the name of it on a napkin. The napkin gets lost or thrown into a pile at home with other napkins with wines written on them never to be viewed again. He wanted a way to keep the info together and accessible so when he went to a wine shop, he would have the wine names with him. The Journal is only credit card size to easily fit in your wallet, pocket or purse but folds out to over to 9in x 23in! It has over 50 boxes to record the wine you have…but not just the wine, the experience as well…who was with you, what you ate, conversational highlights, etc. The Journal also has a helpful guide on how to order wine at a restaurant and the most comprehensive vintage chart in print today. You’ll have so much fun looking back after months of recording wine experiences and reviewing all of the fun times and good wine you had. It’s amazing how something so small can make such an impact in your life.
