In this episode Ruth (the chick Des was going to marry) said he had not had any kind of religous experiance since some team won 5-27-95 According to Lostpedia...

The vintage of the wine bottles and Ruth's mention of Celtic winning the Cup date this flashback to 1995, where he first meets Penny. Desmond's later flashback where he breaks up with Penny takes place in 1996. Normally wine is dated based on the date of the grape harvest, and Cabernet Sauvignon is usually aged in barrels for years before being released, so the date on the bottle is likely a production error meant to show the date of the flashback and not a realistic vintage date.

So I am having trouble figuring out what the timeline is here or if there is a flaw in the time line..
Here is was Lostpedia had to say about the year..

This if it was not a production error would push the date a head more.. So please help if you can... I'm just getting myself so confused right now....
