Years ago someone gave ma bottle of Cabernet Sauvigignon , by Bay Bridge. It had been un corked & maybe tasted. Was saving it for a marinade, Now trying to drink it. Not really so good. Now I know why it had been in the fridge for years.

Is it a good wine to soak steaks in before cooking??

Given the price of decent steak today, I would not use it for marinating. BTW, I have never used any type of wine for marinating anything.

Throw that wine out! If it doesn't taste good, it'll ruin the flavor of the meat, too.

Once a bottle has been opened it's good for maybe a week, even if the cork is replaced right away. The oxygen in the air breaks down the wine, initially changing the flavor for the better, but eventually changing it to vinegar.

Storing wine where it is constantly changing temperature, or exposed to temperatures over maybe 78F or so, will also change it to vinegar, even if the bottles are never opened. I found that out the hard way when I moved up here with a couple dozen cases and lost my nice spot under the stairs. Couldn't keep up with the spoilage, and ended up pouring out a lot of wine.

Life's too short to drink bad wine. If it doesn't taste good to you (even if it's not spoiled), throw it away and go find something that does!

I could not locate a regular tin cup.
But I do have a porcelain Coated tin cup. That may attract a higher class of people. More $$ in the cup.

What you think.

Jumped on 3 bottles of sangria today. Down the road I go.

Nope, you're OK, as long as you don't start drinking Thunderbird or MD20-20.
