ABC News’ Dan Abrams celebrates his 50th birthday

Media entrepreneur and ABC News’ chief legal eagle Dan Abrams celebrated his 50th birthday in style last week.

Abrams invited guests including Discovery Communications boss David Zaslav; journalists Katie Couric, Savannah Guthrie and former Hearst chief Cathie Black; and, billionaire activist investor Dan Loeb to a wine tasting of 1966 Bordeaux — bottled the year Abrams was born.

We hear the favorites were the Chateau Leoville Barton and the Pape Clement.

CNN’s Don Lemon showed up after his show at 12:05 a.m., just as the party was winding down, but Abrams tells On the Money, “We went from sipping to a few of us basically chugging the rest of the Bordeaux.”
