FAWQ: My Most Memorable Bottle of Wine?

This FAWQ comes directly from Winer! The question reads: What’s the most memorable bottle of wine you’ve ever had, and what made it special? This is a great question that I don't get asked all that often. The short answer is: Cru Beaujolais from Morgon. Find out why below!

Like most industry folks, I have quite a few to go to wines and Beaujolais, located at the southern end of Burgundy in central France, is one of them. This particular bottle of cru Beaujolais was from Morgon, one of the 10 crus [top rated regions] of the area. It was particularly memorable because I was sharing it

with a very close friend who has just begun getting into wine. We drank the wine, she cooked dinner and we had a really great time. Although I have had many bottles of fantastic wine, the best bottles are always those shared with friends and family around.
