Collected from the Yerevan Armenia Flea Market

I've posted most all of this in the "Today's Finds" sub-forum, but thought I'd do this just for fun. Along with the Cognac, I've also found an old Soviet manufactured porcelain figure of a Cossack.

"20 Year Old Armenian Cognac"

Will it survive another 20 unopened?

reminds me of the time I was in Damascus in Syria in 1980

and was given a bottle of Canadian Black Velvet by Canadian soldiers with U.N.D.O.F.

the bottle was dated 1974 and remains yet in my brothers home in Ireland, unopened.

Kevin, the cognac is a birthday present for my son and I'm going home for a short visit in two weeks. So, no; it's days are numbered.

I received a great bottle of Port from the commander of a Portuguese airborne battalion in Bosnia in 2003; it didn't survive either. But I still have the wooden box with the battalion's regimental insignia carved into the side! :catjava:

I am sorry I have to weigh in here ... I drank every last drop of my 1er RPIMa case of wine (last bottle consumed 29 Sept 2010 St.Michael's Day) vive les Paras!, vive les Rapas!
