Wine and their little gadgets!

I remember our very first night ever in our Airstream.  We drove all of 15 minutes from our home.  We reserved spot #1, at Sea Clliff State Park.   We had the best site, the waves could be heard breaking on the beach, great view of the beach and about 20 feet to the beach.  We set everything up by the book, the rain began to fall, and we were so proud of ourselves!  We took the doggies for a short walk before dinner, set the beef stew simmering on the stove, opened the vents and went through a light rain.

As the rain increased in intensity we rushed back to our silver castle dry and toasty.  We began our first meal preparation and settle in for the night.  The stew’s aroma, the warmth of our coach and the music on the radio set us up for a romantic triumphant evening.  BUT we chose our bottle of wine and . . . .  NO BOTTLE OPENER!

So we ask what is the best bottle opener for our trailer?  THE ONE YOU HAVE! LOL,  well luckily about a half mile away and up a hill was a local liquor store that actually had not only a wine bottle opener but a great selection of wines.  Five years after our maiden voyage we have acquired a moderateAirstream photo and 090 collection of bottle openers.  Guess we like the ones we buy for home use too, then forget to put them back and there we are again, no opener.

 

Everything we need to open, filter, mix and store our libations!

Yep a filter was sent to us in a shipment from a wine club and we have learned to love it!  When we first saw it we did not know what it was.   We are such great wine lovers.

After we bought a utilitarian opener on our first night we now have our favs!  We did also learn some bottle neck widths are just a little different and the old non screw but “wiggle” ones work wonderfully.
