Default More 1970s vintage wines

Let us not forget Lancers ....sparkling in both the rose and the white varieties (can't figure out how to put the accent over the "e" in rose) ! Chuck's Steak House restaurants used the empty Lancers bottles (which they painted black) for their menus back in the 70's, inscripting the menus in "white" Sorry for shifting this "post" from a Jo Jos discussion to a discussion of "vintage" wines!! Or shouldn't I be "w(h)ining"???

There was another wonderful, Portuguese rose wine, that no longer exists: Avianca, which came in a large, bottle encased in wicker... I still have some of those (empty, of course) at our cottage. Quite decorative!
