Me?
I started waiting tables and then bartending in a fairly nice restaurant, a step below white table cloth, when I was 21 and that was about 16 years ago. That was my first taste of good steak and good wine. We had weekly wine tastings with the wine reps. I've enjoyed drinking it since.
I did get to taste Opus One back then. Can't recall the vintage, whatever was available in 1999. I think 36 bottles came to the entire Birmingham, AL area and we sold enough of that rep's wines that we were allowed to buy 6 of them. Probably the only time I'll ever drink that.
