First was a German Spatlese. I have no idea which vineyard, what vintage, etc.. Just know that up until that all I had ever had was Mateus or Lancers Rose. I was blown away that wine could taste this good. I had just started to work at a cheese and wine shop. I was hooked.

Over the years the wines that still stick out as "Wow!" moments:

1974 Ch. Ste. Michelle Cab., 1974 Joseph Phelps. I still remember this as a vintage you had a hard time finding a bad Cab. These were before the "ripeness" takeover.

Haut Brion Blanc, don't know the year, but the finest glass of dry white wine I have ever experienced.

1970 Cos D'Estournel. I had saved it for years and was lucky to try it at it's peak. Great Bourdeaux is hard to beat.

German Eiswein. Once again, can't remember the exact one but every sip was a new experience.
