The year of my birth was 1968. I grew up with '68 Grange, '68 Wynn's Cabernet Sauvignon, '68 Chateau Reynella Cabernet Sauvignon and of course, '68 Chateau Reynella Vintage Port to name a few. All of these wines were purchased by my father on release with the sole purpose of sharing them with me sometime in the future. He started opening them for me when I was about 15 and continued until the last Grange was consumed on my 30th birthday. I remember this bottle for a number of reasons. First, the fact that a guest sitting on a couch managed to drop the bottle from knee height to a hard slate floor... it bounced and was caught before descending to the floor for a second attempt at destruction. I am sure they don't make glass like that anymore.
