Nothing that I can think of.
Edit: If I can go back about two months I had some EPIC auction level german rieslings. Im convinced that they are the best wines in the world.

Yes! I tried it at the Wine & Spirits tasting in SF and thought it was mind-blowing.
So far this year I’ve really enjoyed an 01 Suduiraut, an 01 La Tour Blanche, a 93 Dalla Valle Maya, and a 96 Poggio Scalette Il Carbonaione.
2006 Alban Reva
2009 Alpha Omega To Kalon barrel tasting
2007 Leflaive Chevalier Montrachet…superb.
1997 Joseph Phelps Insignia
A Tribute to Grace, 2008 - idiosyncratic and delicious
2005 Massa Vecchia Bianco
Although much more humble than many of the above-referenced bottles, I recently had a 2005 Qupe Bien Nacido Syrah that was just fanastic. Like very good CR from a good year. Awesome.
1982 Dom
1983 and 1990 Chateau d’Yquem
1990 1990 Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Santo Stefano Riserva
1978 Joseph Drouhin Chambertin-Clos de Bèze
Those wild pigs are deceptively strong, and mean too.
Had a 96 Dominus the other night that just rocked…Thank you Diane.
Oops almost forgot about the 86 Lafite a few nights before.
Gee, ya think?
2005 MacPhail Sangiacomo was doing really well earlier in the week!
'07 Jaffurs Bien Nacido.
Craig does a great job with Syrah, but this one takes it to a whole new level. OMG, I need rubber pants when drinking this one.
While I’m still standing, the 2004 Henri Billiot Millesime Brut Champagne tonight was almost a knockout. It takes everything I enjoy about the very good H. Billiot NV and dials it up a notch and then doubles the energy, verve, grip, intensity and complexity. While young, the style of this house works young.
Russian River Barrel tasting today: Papapietro 2008 Leras Vyd Pinot
1990 Guigal Landonne
2004 Vega Sicilia Valbuena
2008 Jerome Prevost Les Closieres Extra Brut (100% Meunier, and the best interpretation I’ve ever had with bubbles).
Always a winner.
Almost forgot…
2008 Bevan Cellars Ontogeny
1997 Karl Lawrence Reserve Herb Lamb Vineyard
