RE: Describe your wine epiphany

Posted by mchad on August 27, 2011 at 20:50:50:
I personally would expect a dessert wine if my host(ess) stated "it was time for dessert", but that's just me. A sublime wine is a sublime wine and I'll not say the Pahlmeyer meritage wasn't so as a pairing with a nice cheese/bread serving like the OP has stated.

My personal wake up call with wine revolved around a beautifully prepared apricot tart and a nice aged split of Rieussec sauternes while dining at a friends home. We are still very good friends with the couple that shared that special bottle with us in 1993 and we share dinners and many different types of wine on a pretty regular basis to this day. It's fun to enjoy wine with those that appreciate it and I have my friend and his wife to thank for our indoctrination into the world of wine.
