1988

On Saturday evening Todd and I opened a rather spectacular bottle of wine. Bottled in 1988 the Grange Hermitage we drank was so smooth it went down well. A deep purple red with the flavours of berries and bush fire smoke. Was 1988 a bush fire year in South Australia? It was divine.

We consumed it with mature cheddar and reminisced about the year it was bottled.

We were both still at school although nearing the end.
It was leap year
Perestroika began in the Soviet Union
Wimbledon won the FA Cup Final
George Bush Senior became the US president
Pan Am Flight 103 was blown up over Lockerbie by Libyans
Madonna was working on her Like a Prayer album to be release in 1989
A-ha released their third album Stay on these Roads
And Dangerous Liaisions, The Accused, The Dead Pool, Kansas and She's Having a Baby were at the movies
