Yes, I've thought about that, too. I'm 1978 and she's 1976. There are some good looking 76's around, at least from what I can gather with my limited knowledge. I'm just not certain about spending one or two hundred bucks on a bottle wine whose provenance I can't be completely sure of. How do I know the wine was stored properly for 30 years?
Besides, I imagined with a wine of birth-year vintage, we'd never drink them since it wouldn't have quite the shared sentiment behind it as an anniversary year vintage.
