Timeless Wines that will Illuminate the Holidays
Memories Etched in Wine
People often ask what are my favorite bottles that I have opened through the years. While I have tasted many stunning and inspiring wines through the decades, I usually reminisce about the occasions where I have shared wines that I have cellared with close friends and acquaintances during intimate dinners and holiday celebrations. These meaningful wines and close friendships are easy to recall as they have invariably stood the test of time.
There are few experiences more heartfelt than gatherings at the holiday table, where the wintry weather contrasts the warmth we share with close acquaintances along with a remarkable wine. Occasionally, I repurchase a wine, only to remember times that have long faded into memories. Sharing these wines during the holidays elevates the moment, not to impress others but to honor our friendships that have matured through the years. The beauty of older wines lies not only in their taste, but in the journey that has brought us together.
