Wine people.....

So I'm more of a beer drinker, but on a recent trip to Tokyo we we were taken out and treated to some very fine and fancy wine. 2 bottles, about 1200 Usd. About 83 years of age there..... pics of what we had.....

Yea, the 67 was better. the 64 had a slight after taste. It definatly had a kick. For not being a wine drinker, I was supprised how good it was.. Although, I had already drank 4 beers at a Baseball game, then a screwdriver at a different bar. The wine was like the throttle on the Jet as your taking off.... I dont remember much of the cab ride home... haha.

I thought you were paging me, but then I realized you said "wine". Sorry. I have nothing to add about wine that cost more than $15.

haha.... my experience with wine is more in the 3 dollar "fortefied" type.

this was more my style...

These are probably the hardest working beer servers I've ever seen. Carying a backpack keg of beer up and down the stairs. they kept it up to about the 6th inning....

seems a shame to waste such good wine after having impaired your tastebuds on four beers, but cool anyway.

Are those peaking now?

'61 was the vaunted vintage of that decade; i'm not sure about '64 and '67.
