...aging wines in plastic corks is a bad idea. '04 Muscadet, Pepiere was oxidized and undrinkable. Hell, if it was sound, Cory would probably think the same.

Fortunately, it wasn't my bottle and I don't own any.
 
On a related note: Did you catch this sentence in a recent Asimov article?:

"He said sommeliers have to understand that some wines are more prone to problems than others, and therefore are more important to check. He mentioned unfiltered white wines, for example, or wines whose cork might have some visible mold on it. I might add to that list wines like white Burgundies, which are prone to oxidation problems..."
 
I went out for sushi last night with a friend. He brought '05 Chassagne-Montrachet "Blanchots Dessus", Jean-Noel Gagnard. It showed a smidgen of fruit for about 10 min. and was then declared DOA.

He's no longer going to buy Cote d'Or whites.
