Birth year wines Christopher's daughter Emma is two years old. She reminded me of my son when he was the same age, when he was starting to speak a little like she does now. I told Christopher about my son's birth year wines which I bought when they came onto the market two or three years after his birth. I look forward to opening these wines for him on his 20th birthday this March, when he will be able to drink legally in Japan. Christopher apparently decided to go to Tesco supermarket to buy his wines!
