If you're including the '97, then the run would be '55 to '97, so the name could be "The Meaning of Life: 42 Years of Fonseca"?
It should have something crossword-y built into the name, seeing as it's the annual ACPT tasting.

But, obviously, I fail at anagrams. :wink:

You're using the Niepoort anagram rule, aren't you?

Not intentionally... "on faces" mixed up is Fonseca

FYI,

if we include both the 60' and the 63' the cost of the wines goes up to 120$/person. Is that okay for everyone?

disclaimer: these bottles are representative of the ones we are opening for tomorrow, many of the bottles at the tasting will instead come from gman's cellar. That unlabeled one is an F55 standin, we'll have to get a real picture tomorrow :)
