MY LIGHT BULB MOMENT
I did a private dinner with my culinary professor for a family in my hometown, the owner of the house brought a 1987 Pouilly-Fuissé, my professor asked me for my year of birth (1988), and told me after: "You´re going to try a wine older than you¨. I did and I ´ve never had such an opening experience.
