1970 Andresen

Post by DRT »

Does anyone have a photograph of this bottle or know where it came from?

Does that mean it doesn’t exist?

It means that this TN is the only evidence we have that it might exist.

The placemats for the 1970 horizontal on 30th January 2009 include sheets for Alex, Axel, Ben, Derek, Dirk, Dominic, Enrico, Julian, Maggie, Mark, Richard, Simon, Victor, and Wolfgang. Perhaps PM them.

(I rather like the /Baskerville-Italic on InlineTitles’d /Baskerville-Bold, with /Baskerville ornaments. Might re-use that design. Though, as AHB rightly grumbled, the tasting-note sheets were too crowded; and the whole thing pre-dated, but inspired, PageOrderingNonDecanterLabelGlasses, FlightSeparations, and VerticalMiddlingTitles. And I don’t like the ‟Ni” of Niepoort in /Baskerville-Italic, which almost needs a ligature.)

I seem to recall this was the event Linden Wilkie attended as well, with a camera. He took quite a lot of photos...

I have had the 1970 Andresen Colheita and it's outstanding. From what Andresen said, it was for private or family use. If you had a bottle, it may've been a gift from Andresen.
