Wine that got you into wine?

For me it all started at a party when I was about 25, after
growing up in a family where wine was on the table everyday.
At this party, about 7 or 8 years ago, I was looking for
something better than beer to drink, so I saw a wine bottle from
it's back and asked a bystanding guy "Which wine is that?"
While I poured my glass, without even looking at the label, this
guy said "Chianti". After a sip or two I realized that that wine
was *good*, damn *good*, a whole step above the wine I used to
drink.
So I got back to the bottle to read the label, unluckily I only
remember it said "bordeaux" 
Maybe it was a 5 euro plonk, but it made me start to change my
mind about wine.
