It’s my birthday and I’ll blog if I want to

One of my writing friends, Gretchen Roberts, is a wine fanatic. She loves wine so much she’s dedicated a blog to it. Everyday Wine launched this week and one of her posts pointed me to Decanter.com’s quiz Am I a Great Vintage? This page tells you which of the “world’s most desirable, enjoyable and unmissable wines” coincide with your natal year. Today’s my birthday, so I thought I’d check it out.

While the Beatles were tearing up the charts with Love me Do and Please Please Me, vintners were hitting sour notes. Only the port was potable. This was also the year Coca-Cola unleashed TaB on the world — although Decanter makes no mention of this beverage.

Not sure what the history of my birth year says about me. Hate TaB; love the Beatles. Guess that proves I’m a Gemini through and through.
