Have had a number of memorable wines, or wine drinking experiences, the first of which comes to mind is at the John Ash restaurant in northern CA, where the sommlier recommended a wine from the J vineyard.

It was a Renwood Zinfandel that I had at my wife's aunt's house. We had been dating for around a year and I was never really into wine. I took one sip and it was so good. I couldn't get over how complex and delicious this was. I finally saw what the appeal of good wine was.
I think from that moment on I became more aware and interested in wine, so much so that last year, we planned a whole vacation around wine in Napa and Sonoma...and to tie it to the A-16 book, on that same trip we were supposed to eat at A-16 there one night but something came up and we had to cancel our reservation. :(

I remember my first sip of Gewurztraminer. I was at a hip restaurant with my sister and decided to try a new wine. I nearly spit it out! I couldn't believe it was supposed to taste peppery. When I told the server it tasted peppery, he said, "Yeah, isn't it a great example of a Gewurz?" It was the beginning of my understanding and appreciation of wine.

My first glass of Conti Capponi Villa Calcinaia Chianti Classico with my History of Tuscany professor, Niccolo Capponi, this past spring.
Sidebar, I know he was pompous, but has anyone else ever had this wine? It's one of the most amazing reds I've ever tasted and I highly recommend it.
