''A friend's significant birthday is approaching and you're stuck for a present?
''Ryst-Dupeyron has the answer (at least for lovers of armagnac): a bottle dating from the year of their birth. While other stores can sometimes oblige with a bottle from 1967 or 10 or 20 years earlier, Ryst-Dupeyron is a more reliable supplier because it specializes in vintage armagnac, as well as Bordeaux grands cru, port and malt whiskies.
''Not only will the staff provide an emballage cadeau but the label can be personalized with the name of the birthday boy or girl below the date of their birth and the vintage.''
