Best wine you ever tasted.......

Three:

La Carraia '97 Fobbiano, drunk on the sand at Long Beach, Washington, at 3:45 am, during the Perseid metror shower, with the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. (This one may be all about place, time, and company)

1977 Masi Campolongo di Torbe Amarone

1995 Peter Lehmann Stonewell Shiraz

Bonus Wine: 1990 Sean Thackery Orion

Holy Cow! Almost forgot maybe the best one: A 1977 Chateau Musar, sampled with Serge Hochar here in Bellevue two years ago, just after his lecture on the history of Musar. It was elegant, funky, powerful yet delicately knit, surprisingly fresh, and unlike anything else I've ever tasted. Maybe not the absolute best but very close.
