One of life’s greatest pleasures is opening up a good bottle of wine with friends and not setting it down until you’ve savored every last drop.
David Duncan, the CEO and president of Silver Oak, one of California’s iconic wineries, has opened more bottles of wine than he can probably count, and in doing so, Duncan has picked up many tricks of the trade.
Today, he’s sharing some of them with Business Insider, recommending six wine accessories every enthusiast should have on hand when they’re getting ready to enjoy a bottle at home.
You can find Duncan’s favorite wine accessories, plus his explanations of why they’re his go-tos, below. If you want to learn more about Silver Oak’s celebrated cabernets — which the Duncan family has produced since 1972 — you can visit Silver Oak’s site here.
