Your first good glass of wine

Salut/Hi Max Hauser,

I have to say that's an extraordinary coincidence.

that might even have been the particular 71

Amazing.

I'm afraid that my wonderful experience with the M-à-V, made me that much more jaundiced when I look at much of the wine produced today. Up until recently, I'd not found any that deserved the name (but I have to confess I didn't look too hard) in my opinion. However some Beaujolais-Villages from Jean-Claude Lapalu near Brouilly, at the insanely high price of €14 a bottle has completely reconciled me!

There IS a good side to the current reaction here in France against Beaujolais Nouveau. It means that some of the more astute growers are now going back to making real wine again. "Hurray", say I. Would that it were true in Burgundy too.

Egri Bekaver (Sp?) was the name I believe - Bulls Blood. My son and I were obsessed with it in the late 70's. Then the quality dropped off somewhat. I'll have to check on it again.

My first real discovery of wine --

About 1972, my college student son arranged a birthday dinner for me at a nice restaurant near the campus. He got a young bottle of Mouton Rothschild, 1969 I believe, and the restaurant provided corkage. The wine was good but in 30-40 minutes on the table it had metamorphosed and a lovely aroma engulfed the table.We have had many good wines since then but we both call that our introduction to good wine.
