A memorable wine

Article Abstract:

A wine connoisseur admits that he does not know the vintage of the most memorable wine he ever tasted. He remembers drinking it in a simple inn at Italy's Simplon Pass. He says that he remembers it the most because he drank it in high spirits after an exhilarating drive through the mountains.

Article Abstract:
