Yes. Your turn.
Fascinating mix of luck and strategy. Must have been terrifying. No wonder those involved in such conflicts are least likely to talk about them.

Yes and that's without the wildlife to contend with eg saltwater crocs!
Anyhow, my question. I don't go to many concerts these days but who am I due to see in June for the first time since 1985?

Nope Derek, there's no Welsh connection.

That didn't last long, yes, well done Simon, it was the ace axeman last seen amist the mud of the Knebworth festival and before he turned to lute music. Your turn.

My bucketlist ports have been listed following Alex's post, but what is top of my bucketlist in terms of red wine?

I would love to try a first growth '45... But that is not top of the bucket.

It wasn't... But the next time the list is done, that will obviously be a serious contender for the top spot.
It is quite a unique style/winery/brand, and the wine maker has famously discussed this particular vintage.

It probably is early 1980s.
