their football programs back then weren't as irrelevent as they are now.

If memory serves, that's when they were watching the 1960 Presidential election returns. They had put together a campaign for the guy who lost.

I think my Tivo said something to the effect that this week's episode is about someone's presence, or return, threatening to ruin the office Christmas party. Don't remember the details but it did mention the office Christmas party specifically.

How did you find that? Weren't there two games in that episode, or did I mess up the timeline?

How old is Don now? Maybe the age difference is starting to come into play.

That said, I would assume they would make note on the menus of an additional wine list (for example, http://images.nypl.org/index.php?id=1687373&t=w). But, even in that link (from 1956), wine isn't by the glass but by the case. "Vintage wines may be ordered by the case and reserved in our wine cellar."

Regarding this trivial issue, I'm going to go with Champagne. I saw an old movie where they were serving Champagne in these wide glasses, not flutes.

Yeah those "wide glasses" are called Coupes

Princeton was undefeated in 1964 and had some national caliber players.

The mid-sixties were golden years, brightened by Cosmo Iacavazzi's hurdling touchdown leaps, Stas Maliszewski's skillful line-backing, and Charlie Gogolak's renowned place-kicking. The 1963 team shared the Ivy title with Dartmouth, missing sole possession by a single point in its 21-22 loss to that team. The 1964 team achieved Princeton's first perfect season (9-0) since 1951, and set an Ivy League single-game record, beating Penn 55 to 0. In 1965 the opposing teams in Princeton's annual encounter with Rutgers were captained by twin brothers, Peter Savidge for Rutgers, Paul for Princeton. Poetic justice called for a tie game, but Charlie Gogolak's six field goals and two goals after touchdown led Princeton to a 32 to 6 victory. Gogolak ended his Princeton career that year, the possessor of six national collegiate kicking records; one was for 50 consecutive goals after touchdown, six more than the previous record, set by his older brother Pete at Cornell. The Gogolak brothers were soccer-style placement kickers who came to this country with their family from Hungary during the revolt of 1956. Both later kicked for professional teams.

Good call. That's totally what she was drinking out of. Fixed your link. And this is from the article: "The coupe was the champagne glass of choice through the 1960s. The coupe, for many years overshadowed by the flute, has returned to fashion due to its use in the 1960s-based AMC series, Mad Men, known for its cultural authenticity."

Champagne coupes are great.
