I don't remember the specific wine, but it was my introduction to Rhone wines at the now defunct restaurant Avenue 9 in San Francisco. Their regular wine dinners in the late 1990s encouraged my husband and I to try many new varietals and move out of a chardonnay and pinot noir rut.
I love it! I do make it at home when I can find it, which is not all that often in NYC unless I go to the Indian markets in Queens. I only make it fried occasionally, more often I just saute it with some cajun seasoning, or make it in an Indian preparation.
San Sebastian, Spain for amazing tapas
Argentina for beef
Japan for sushi

A glass from a $100 Bourdeaux. I do not remember the name sadly.
My first taste of Shiraz at a company Christmas party almost ten years ago - Thierry & Guy Fat bastard.
1995 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon during a small wine tasting event at the winery in Napa Valley
Right after I was married we were wined and dined by my husband's new boss and at that meal I ordered my first ever glass of white wine. That was the best glass of wine I've ever had!
The memorable glass of wine I had was with my friend at the opening of a pizza restaurant.
A glass or two of Santa Rita Medalla Real Cabernet Sauvignon while flying in 1st class on American Airlines to NYC just to have my hair cut.
When my oldest son was born, a friend brought a bottle of wine to the hospital and we toasted his arrival in paper cups. That was the best wine I ever had.
