Just when I think I’ve reached an apex in my wine career and tasting journey, I discover there is another level.
One of the lessons wine continues to teach me is that it is truly a lifetime journey—measured not only by bottles and vintages, but by the friends, mentors, and fellow enthusiasts who share them.
An unforgettable lineup that spanned nearly a century:
• Corton-Charlemagne (2 vintages)
• 1975 Leoville Las Cases
• 1966 Chateau Langoa Barton
• 1985 La Mission Haut-Brion
• 1985 Mouton Rothschild
• 1981 Lafite Rothschild
• 1992 Bryant Family, Pritchard Hill
• 1988 Lynch-Bages
• 2018 Chateau Tour des Termes
• 2000 Cos d’Estournel
• 1940 Chateau Lanessan
• 1928 Pontet-Canet
• 1929 Chateau Romer du Hayot
From the power and elegance of First Growth Bordeaux to bottles that have survived wars, generations, and history itself, this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
The oldest wines were nearly 100 years old, yet still had stories to tell.
Grateful for the opportunity, humbled by the history in the glass, and reminded once again that the more you learn about wine, the more there is to discover.
🍷 Cheers to great wines, great friends, and lifelong learning.
