As Time Goes By.... My Rye Mistake

I was a fool! I was visiting the Rose Bowl Swap Meet this month and stumbled upon a booth where this man was unloading his grandfather's bar. The grandfather apparently didn't drink, but kept the bar for guests and perhaps appearances?! One of the items for sale was an unopened bottle of Old Overholt from 1957! The kid wanted $20 bucks for it and I was out of cash. Rather than RUN to the cash machine... I went looking for this Fedora seller I've seen before.... Of course by the time I got back to this kid, he had sold a number of bottles including the Old Overholt! (Sob!) It may be one of the grandest "Fish that got away" stories I will henceforth be lamenting.
