Well... 2009 can be characterized by a year of transition... a year of change. While the overall quality and rarity of the wines I drank this year dropped off a cliff from the past several, those that I was fortunate enough to try sang to me in different ways... I was truly able to enjoy them this year rather than purely assess them. Here is the first part of the list (I'm still compiling my notes for the year...) This is by no means the final (or even initial!) order of the wines...
