Looking great Waldo and glad it worked out well...Sherrie should be pleased with her daddy's mead! I bottled 3 batches of mead myself yesterday but they all are young and need much more time in the cellar.
I would definitely adjust your corker so the top of the cork is almost even or slightly below the top of the bottle. The reason I say this is that some bottles have a short neck so you could lose some the sealing surface if the cork is down too low. Depending on what type of cork screw youuseyou also run the risk of pushing the cork into the bottle when trying to open.
