Most of us can point to an instant that changed our wine lives. For some, it's a single bottle that captures the moment (1968 Heitz Martha's Vineyard for me), when a wine transforms into something extraordinary.
There are great moments, and then there are great eras, and the benchmark vintages that define them. For me, the vintage that changed everything was 1982.
