1981 Wine and Port Vintage
Italian: The good 1981 Italian vintage produced a large crop of consistent wines. The best examples from Tuscany and Piedmont are now at their peak of their maturity, and will offer a good drinking experience.
Bordeaux:
Portugal: No vintage port was made in 1981. Our recommendation would be for a 1981 Colheita port from 1981. Kopke are renowned for their colheita and this would make a wonderful gift for a 42 year old Birthday or Anniversary this year.
Spain: 1981 was considered one of the great vintages for Rioja, and this wine is at its peak of maturity.
This Year in History: Fun Fact: "Little Miss Bossy", the first book in the Little Miss series (the female counterpart to the Mr. Men series) is first published.
