When was the wine Tam Lin brought out supposed to be consumed? Include both occasions. (375)
From the text:
It had gone on for hours when Tam Lin brought out a special wine that had been bottled the year El Patrón was
born. It was in a musty crate covered with cobwebs and sealed with the Alacrán scorpion mark. “This is what El
Patrón was saving for his one-hundredfiftieth birthday,” announced Mr. Alacrán. “If he didn’t make it, it was supposed to be served at his funeral. I propose we drink it to celebrate the old buzzard’s death!”
