hortly after reconnecting at our ten-year high school
reunion, Dave asked me out for coffee. After a few cups
and much conversation, our coffee "date" transformed
into dinner at an amazing restaurant in Connecticut.
As we sat down to dine that night, little did I know that the meal
would become the first of many wonderful dinners, and more
importantly, a lifetime of phenomenal wine memories.
Dave handed me the wine list and said, "Choose whatever
you want." I perused the leather book and quickly spotted
a 2005 Jordan Cabernet, which triggered a memory of the
Spring at Jordan event I'd attended during a California vacation.
At Jordan, I'd sipped delicious Cabernets and Chardonnays,
and had eaten magnificent cuisine to my heart's content. I knew
that was the bottle to order! He smiled and replied, "Excellent
choice." Dave and I sat at that table all night-eating, drinking
and laughing until the servers were cashing out their tips and
every table in the dining room was empty.

The next day, my best friend, Melissa, who is quite possibly
an even bigger Jordan wine fan, asked how the date went.
I described the entire day, and we both decided that Dave was a
keeper for many reasons, including his letting me order a bottle
of Jordan Cab!
Two and a half years and many bottles later at our wedding,
Melissa and her husband presented us with the best gift of the
night: a magnum of 2006 Jordan Cabernet signed by John
Jordan. We cannot wait to open this big bottle up one day and
share it with our best friends and family. Jordan wines will always
be a part of the memories created through milestones, gettogethers and everyday happenings in our lives.
