Life’s most special celebrations call for something extraordinary—like that big bottle of wine you’ve been cellaring for years. Before you’re in the company of your favorite people and have all eyes on you, learn how to open a large format from our former Alexander Valley winemaker, Christiane Schleussner.

A screwdriver (to open the lid, if the wine is in a box), ah-so, pliers and corkscrew are all you need.
