I agree 100% with JohnT. Additionally, if you try to cork a bottle that is not designed for corking, you run the risk of crushing the necks and cutting yourself. Please don't go there.
Thanks, Al. As you probably remember, I like my wines bone dry. Especially my reds. I'm sure yours were great. I've sampled a few. Are you going to L'uva Bella for the meet and greet?
