2007 Ghost Horse Phantome
2010 Screaming Eagle
1986 Pape Clement
1990 Beaucastel Rouge
1992 Leflaive Batard Montrachet
1989 Leflaive Chevalier Montrachet
The 1964 Barolos shared at the convention
Too many great 2010 Bordeaux...

Not the ten best; certainly not the ten worst, just some I remember from 2014 (excluding wines at the BWE convention):

2005 Gambal Criots-Batard-Montrachet (one of the best dry whites we drank)
1983 Lynch-Bages (almost the equal of the bottle of '89 at the convention)
1988 La Lagune (big surprise)
2002 St. Innocent Seven Springs Pinot Noir
2001 Nicolas Potel Clos Vougeot
1926 Haut-Brion
1988 Lafite
1970 Pichon Lalande
1907 Latour
1969 La Tache (my WOTY, thanks to Tim)
