His interest in collecting wine began over 20 years ago while living in Chicago, driven by a simple curiosity about why he enjoyed certain bottles so much more than others. That curiosity quickly led him to Bordeaux—especially Merlot-heavy blends with a softer edge—and Tuscan wines built around the Sangiovese grape. He grew particularly fond of reliable producers like Antinori, who consistently deliver great quality across their entire range. Rather than chasing ultra-expensive trophy bottles, his focus remains on finding the sweet spot between price and performance, making Left Bank Second Growths and solid vintage years the backbone of his selection. To keep everything in peak condition, he relies on Sub-Zero wine fridges, preferring their steady, reliable temperature control over standard cellar storage.
1982 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe from this lot has the following scores - James Suckling 100 points. This is the tasting note for 1982 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe from Robert Parker - with a score of 96 points. Supple and enveloping, the 1982 Haut-Brion is drinking brilliantly today, wafting from the glass with aromas of red berries and plums, tobacco leaf, cedar box, scorched earth, cigar smoke and walnuts. Medium to full-bodied, broad and sensual, it's fleshy and giving, with a rich core of fruit, melting tannins and a long, resonant finish. At age 40, this is the most charming of the 1982 first growths, yet despite its outgoing personality, it seems to gain in stature with every passing year..
