Wilson-Daniels 40th Anniversary

I have known Jack Daniels and his partner the late Win Wilson since my earliest days as a sommelier. It was my great honor to be the first recipient of the Wilson-Daniels Master Sommelier Scholarship when I was studying for that test, and to work on the sommelier team for the historic Domaine de la Romanee-Conti tasting, which Jack and Win facilitated for the New York Wine Experience many years ago.

My husband John and I got the chance to sit down with Jack at their historic 40th Anniversary celebration. Over a taste of 2008 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Echezeaux (which was sublime), we talked wine, Win, stemware and much more, spanning four remarkable decades in the wine world.
