Lenni was only 17 when she was brought to Glasgow’s hospital for medically hopeless cases and met Margo, who was 83. They got to know each other in art class, and when they realized they had 100 years between them, they decided to commemorate this fact by creating 100 pieces of art together while telling the stories of their lives. These friends will have you considering what makes a life well lived and how important relationships are while sharing the tender moments of their lives with them. It’s a great story of getting life in, before it’s too late, and we learn about what makes wine get better (or worse) with age. We tempt fate and drink a mature bottle of 2005 Château Berlière Montagne Saint Emilion, which smells of leather, black fruit and hay. After talking about Merlot, we discuss ideal storage conditions and which wines age the best. Also learn what not to do when storing wine. Savor each moment and enjoy the anticipation of beautiful things to come.
