Shouldn't that be first equal? or do we have half-years involved...?
56 ?

Have I messed up the counting?
There is a: 1927 / 90 years old (and just realised I should have guessed 1862 - the same whether vintage or months old)
That was then: Nearest so far.

Post by **PhilW** » 18:12 Wed 22 Mar 2017

(previous question withdrawn, my error with order of guesses)
Think we have: >57, and 57 is closer than 90, so <=78

Perhaps 69?

Post by **PhilW** » 18:13 Wed 22 Mar 2017

(also just noticed, not my turn!)

Old Bridge · Post by **Old Bridge** » 18:19 Wed 22 Mar 2017

"Perhaps 69?"
Whatever, you are nearest.

Which I believe tells us the answer. But not my turn.

Old Bridge · Post by **Old Bridge** » 07:48 Thu 23 Mar 2017

To me the answer was clear right from the start.

Correct and it is your turn flash_uk.

I decided that I needed a bottle older than myself in the cellar, so I bought a Ch. Mosse Rivesaltes 1946. What it tastes like, I do not know, but reviews are favourable.

I have just finished a novel about the exploits of a wine merchant. Name the book!

That is unfair.

Oops! Right then. This novel was published in 2016 and I believe is the author's first novel.

More importantly... was it a good read?

Post by **flash_uk** » 23:25 Mon 27 Mar 2017

I enjoyed it a lot! Not a serious read - a mix of some likely very real stories of wine trading, mixed with the story of a chancer. Will bring my copy to the next tasting and you can enjoy!

Google IS your friend, and one morning I shall create a new question. Which morning?

Post by **PhilW** » 06:20 Tue 28 Mar 2017

today! New question to follow.
(good to see there are still a few real posts among the Russian and now French "other" posts...)

Post by **PhilW** » 06:25 Tue 28 Mar 2017

Last week I was singing a track from a "classic" album which mentioned a well-known person. Shortly afterwards the same well-known person appeared in the news. What song was I singing?
