Happy Birthday to your bride, Marcb7.

Our anniversary was last week, but my wife was still in London, thus celebrating yesterday and today.

Our dating anniversary is later this month, so a lot of celebrating this month.

Our first date was April 1. Too loaded with possibilities for red faces, so we don't mark it, but we do try to mark our anniversary monthly, with at least a nice bottle.

1989 Beaucastel
1990 Gruaud Larose

Not sure which one I'm going to open tomorrow for my 53rd

Happy birthday! I'd love to see notes on either or both of those bottles.

Funny. My wife said the same thing the other day when we were nattering at each other

Seriously, it's been too long since we've shared a bottle. Let's try to make something happen this fall

1986 Palmer. Fingers crossed....

PH

Good luck, PH. I'm guessing it'll need a long decant.

1963 Cockburn, fingers crossed too.

PH

2000 Giacosa Barbaresco Asili Riserva. 'Shouldn't have any problems with sediment, but this is one of those bottles to which I want to give every opportunity for it to perform its absolute best.

I was just chatting with another forumite about this wine, Board-O. Of the 1986s I've had in the last couple of years, this was by far the most evolved and expressive. I decanted the last one for 2 hours, and rebottled for the trip to dinner. It showed very well. If you have one, you might wish to give it a run!

1988 Sassicaia
1990 Cheval Blanc

It just keeps getting better

Please be sure to dress appropriately for the occasion

KSC02, don't worry. I have my shorts and t-shirt picked out. I even bought a new pair of Reef sandals for the occasion. After all, you only turn 35 once.

are you wearing socks at least with them flip flops?

cuz you know, you turn 35 only once.

No self respecting Floridian would ever wear socks with Reefs. Theses aren't Birckenstocks!!!

Instant divorce I've been told for: Bermuda shorts with socks and black dress shoes, comb-over, or short cut-off jeans and tide-dye T-shirt. You don't even want to go to the thong thing

Here's to it showing very well

1970 Warre's port.

Pretty tasty, and plenty of life left in this one.

1985 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou

I've got about 15 bottles standing up, but one I'm going to open soon will be the 2004 Lascombes, based on the positive experience with the 2004 Smith Haut Lafitte.

1966 Lynch Bages for my birthday June 28 and 1990 Paolo Scavino Cannubi Barolo for my wife and I's 22nd wedding anniversary on June 22.

'88 Salon for tomorrow
'83 Sassicaia for Tuesday

Okay, thanks to my friends currently drinking in the great city of Montreal, ( and their text photos) we are adding the '55 Montrose to our off-line tomorrow night.

Good for you and if your bottle is half as good as the one we enjoyed you are in for a treat.

I've enjoyed a number of '86 Beaucastels over the past year or two and I hope your VT shows as well as they did. Post notes!
