Saturday, April 20, 2024 - Let me tell you a little tale about the 1989 Chateau Gloria St. Julien. Now, this baby had its fair share of haters, but when you're a lover of life's pleasures, you don't let a few bad reviews stop you. So, against the tide of skepticism, I snagged not one, but two bottles, ready to defy expectations.
Thirty years on, I crack open that first bottle with a mix of curiosity and defiance. And you know what? It wasn't half bad. Sure, it didn't have the pedigree of an Opus or the swagger of an Eagle, but paired with a slice of pizza, it held its ground like a true champion.
But here's where the magic happens. With each sip, I'm transported back to a wild night in Mexico City, circa '89. Picture this: me, a Rockstar extraordinaire, surrounded by adoring fans and an air thick with anticipation. And in the midst of it all, a fiery Latina beauty catches my eye, igniting a spark that sets the night ablaze.
Fast forward to the after-party, and what do we find waiting for us? None other than the Chateau Gloria 1989, beckoning us with its siren song. And as the night unfolds in a whirlwind of passion and revelry, that wine becomes more than just a drink—it's a memory etched into the fabric of time.
So here's to the 1989 Chateau Gloria St. Julien—a wine that may have its detractors, but to those who dare to defy convention, it's nothing short of a revelation. Cheers to living life on the edge, one sip at a time.
30 min decant, great with pizza
