One of my favorite dinners was on the menu here at Chez Skip - cassoulet! And my knowledge of wine pairing is as sophisticated as a toddler eating spaghetti, I said to myself - hey I am eating French food and I like this French wine, so hey why not? And that was that. But as wine can be, it evoked its memory of when I had it first. I remember sitting out in the patio and being impressed with it. I thought to myself I could really enjoy French wines, but as history has shown, that was clearly a short lived notion.

Knowing it had been some time, I had an odd feeling, so I checked my Delectable history. Indeed, this was the very first wine I had rated!

So, to my friends, do you remember your first wine on here? Was it anything memorable? @philip Angino @Martin A.

This #wine is a monster. 5 years, at least. Can't think of a more age-worthy vintage than 12 around Salem and Mac. People say 11, no way. — 11 years ago

Delicious Pinot blanc from foothills near the coast of Salem, Oregon. Reminds me a bit of voignier and rousanne - ripe, fruit forward and refreshing. Derby de Mayo Party gift from Mike & Christina — 11 years ago
