What priceless junk have you lost because someone just threw it out?
Zero points for "all my porn". Unless it was particularly good porn...

my dad expressed his gratitude to a family friend recently...by giving him MY 2 bottles of 1996 Fixin "Cuvee Napoleon" that had been lying carefully in his cellar since i bought them from the producteur in 1998. i was saving them for my 50th birthday which would have made the wine 22 years old. i had it on VERY good authority that this awfully good burgundy would have been just about perfect by then, 1996 having been one of the very best years of the last century.
i haven't even bothered checking out how much it would cost to replace, it was well over £30 per bottle from the producer 10 years ago.
Grrrrrrrr!

Indeed.Twatting him is the least of what you should do.
And the VERY least he could do is replace it for you. Tell him that as a father I'm telling him that he owes you that much at least.

That's some fucking expensive wineI worked in the wine industry for 2 years and I know. Commiserations!
But 22 years is pushing it for '96 Burgundy. Maybe invest now in a good 2005 Bordeaux and celebrate your 60th? 2005 Bordeaux is pretty much as good as you're going to get at the top end of the spectrum.

For your 50th..2018 will be a good year for a nice Ribero del Duero wine from 2003. Pesquera is the one I'd recommend above all others. Or another Spainish one from the Priorat area - but do your research there as all the producers are pretty small. 1999, 2003 and 2005 are the recent years to look out for. 2003 being my particular pick of the pops.
