What Wine Would You Most Like To Taste


My wishes are much less specific than several of the responses I've seen here. Those spoiled by years of tasting fine wines professionally or as a perq of successful careers or inheritance might find my desires a bit mundane and pedestrian, but we walk in the mocbuttins we've brought.

First, let me note that I've still got a couple of wonderful memories from my years in Europe--experiences that opened the door to wine and impressed me with the potential of the grape. The most lasting was a night at Lameloise in France during a five day trip that also included Les Freres Troisgros and Alain Chapel. It was my first exposure to "real" Burgundy. Two bottles accompanied that wonderful dinner and, unfortunately as a beginner at the game, I failed to record the details of vintage or bottler--my only recollection was that the first was a Vosne-Romanee (drawing on Hugh Johnson's Pocket Guide recommendation that "there are no bad wines from V-R"), and the second a Grands Echezaux, which remains as the single most memorable wine I've ever tasted. (Just by interpolation, the vintages would have been around early '70s, since the year was 1980.)

That being said, here's my dreams of wines to taste and I offer them without vintage ('cause I'm not smart enough to know the difference.)
