Default Your first good glass of wine

Let's see, was it the Annie Green Springs when a teen? Nah.

By college I was quite the beer man. After, as I worked in restaurants and
bars, I learned the difference between Pouilly-Fume and Pouilly-Fuisse. I liked
wine, knew a bit, but it didn't grab me.

I guess the wine that made me sit up and REALLY take notice was I think 1991,
at Easter dinner. My friend's husband served a 1982 Ch. Gloria with the lamb.
Layers of complexity I had never dreamed of. Since then I've had '82 Gloria a
few times, now I think of it as a good but not great mature Bordeaux. But will
always have a soft spot for it.
