It's not everyday you get to celebrate with friends who have reached a career milestone: David marked his retirement (but not quite not-working-for) Zurich with a wonderful meal (thanks Kath) and a bottle of wine that was 51 years old. The great thing about The French is that they just don't worry about 'sell by' or 'best before' labels on their stuff, even if it has lain in a cellar for half a century. They did stick a 17% proof note on it as a warning. Once we had decanted this precious liquid onto our tongues, we could truly appreciate that good things come to those who wait. We also appreciate our lovely friends and are thankful for every one of them.
