Also three magnums of the 1984 purchased on auction about 8 or 10 years ago. My son's birth year, figured they'd be fun for a possible wedding or something. He's still single, gotta pick a different occasion I think!

Ask your son and open a magnum to celebrate with his friends and your family-life is too short.
