This is the oldest liquid I’ve ever had the honor to enjoy, from 1815. Made in honor of Napoleon Bonaparte who passed away 6 years after it’s production. It was so oxidized it wasn’t brown at all. More of this olive-green color to it, and very clean on the pallet. I’ll never forget this. All these unicorn wines were shared with us from Mr. George Dos Santos personal cellar in Lyon. His shop is called Antic Wines — 6 years ago

A Portuguese sparkling treat, brought over by a beloved neighbor post holiday. There is a true minerality & brut character, long & elegant, quite chiseled. White fruits & flowers, hard apples but it’s all about the dry finish. Astonishing in the sense of having no reference point for such sparklers, & would have guessed a quality French champagne if tasted blind. — a year ago
The wine continued to get better over the course of dinner. It had a lot more fruit than I would have expected for a European wine even though it was a Syrah. — 9 years ago
