His passion for wine began socially in his twenties, evolving by his early thirties into a dedicated, lifelong interest. He started collecting on a modest budget during an era of more accessible pricing, initially sourcing bottles from the LCBO and the Opimian Society before expanding his reach to Buffalo, Rochester, and international locales. This growing collection eventually found a home in his Victorian residence, where he personally converted an old coal cellar into a climate-controlled wine cellar through meticulous insulation and shelving. Today, these decades of careful curation allow him and his wife to enjoy a seamless blend of perfectly matured vintages and contemporary acquisitions.
1989 Dominus Estate Napa Valley from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 92 points, CellarTracker 92 points, Wine Spectator 91 points. This is the tasting note for 1989 Dominus Estate Napa Valley from Robert Parker - The 1989 is undoubtedly the Cabernet Sauvignon of the vintage. The color is a dark ruby/purple and the nose offers up sweet, fragrant scents of black fruits, cedar, herbs, and spicy wood. In the mouth, there is extraordinary concentration, medium to full body, and an authoritatively rich, lingering finish. Terroirists will have a difficult time explaining why the wine tastes more like a Pomerol than Napa Cabernet. Interestingly, Moueix stated the key to his success in 1989 was to wait six to seven days after the rains had stopped before harvesting so the vines could shed their excess moisture. The 7,000 cases of this wine that were produced will be released in the fall of 1993.
