Most of the wines you would expect were there: Cult Cabernets, First Growth Bordeaux, Grand Cru Burgundies and Chablis, great Champagne and important wines from nearly every major wine producing country.
So you can imagine my surprise when on page 89 I see Mateus Rose'.
What the hey - Mateus Rose'!
I haven't thought about that wine in a long long time.
Actually though, Mateus has some sentimental significance in my life.
This was the first wine I ever drank, and I thought it was pretty good. My friends and I would pour the wine into flasks and sneak it into late night movies when we had nothing better to do. Of course we were all over 21, and the movies were of the highest repute at the time.
Mateus Rose'. A wine to taste before you die. Available at most drug stores, grocery stores and gas stations for around $4 a bottle.

Never liked the taste of that, but as a kid it never stopped me from drinking it
