A Year in Wine

Senior Vice President and Senior Consignment Advisor at HDH, Ben Ferdinand took a look back at his year and remembered some of the wonderful experiences he shared with good company and of course, a good glass of wine.

“For me, wine remains the ultimate conduit to people, sharing and everlasting memories. It naturally encourages all of the senses. I am privileged to have the opportunity to share so many special wines with so many great people in so many great places. Here are a few highlights from my 2025” – Ben Ferdinand.

1974 Conn Creek, Eisele, good folks, an intimate setting and a retrospective of the Eisele vineyard paired with commentary from Bart Araujo
1996 Salon and Buzzard’s Bay
1976 Terrantez Blandy’s, the Rolling Stones, a Cuban cigar and the Gulf of St. Lawrence
1964 Barolo, Cantina Mascarello, live jazz and lots of soiled wine glasses
2008 Chateau Rayas Blanc, al fresco, palm trees and lots of laughs
