One of my favorite possessions in the world is a wooden corkscrew that I “accidentally” brought home from a vacation at the Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur, CA.

It’s reliable, fits in my pocket, and reminds me of an amazing vacation with Kristan and friends. We drink a lot of wine and this guy is all I ever thought I’d need- until now.

Michael Chiarello has made available what I’ve spent years scouring flea markets looking for. An old school wall mounted bottle opener, available through Napa Style for only $169. Substantial, good looking and just plain kick ass…

KC, if you’re reading this, just a reminder that my birthday is October 1.
