Cabernet Sauvignon - Columbia Valley
2003 Chateau St. Michelle Cabernet Sauvignon - This wine was elegant and had a crushed velvet character. I thought it was a Chilean Cab blend, but there wasn't enough terroir to prove my point. The eucalyptus mixed with the willow-bark took away from the fact that this was a $15 fruit bomb from Washington. I was suddenly feeling stoned from the Sativa. Last tasted 8/18/07 Drink now-2015

Wine and Waves
I'm lucky to be a 31-year-old surf punk that gets to sample rare wines like the 1922 Pol Roger, the 1959 Petrus and the 2001 D.R.C. Richebourg--that doesn't mean those wines are always good, or worth the price. Since I've worked as a sommelier (in Monterey, CA) for high-end restaurants like Casanova, the Sardine Factory, and Marinus, I've honed my palate and I can choose a good bottle that won't break the bank. When I have enough time and money, I like to travel with my girl Lindsay Jackson to places with great wine and waves. I'm a certified sommelier (Court of Master Sommeliers) and am available to drink wine. Call: 831-521-8606 or e-mail: pwetterau@gmail.com
