2005 Pride Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon –At first, the wine had nuances of: dust, bell pepper, chocolate, and mint. As the wine opened up, it seemed to have more fruit. It seemed a bit tight at first, but it blossomed with aeration. Last tasted fall of 2010 (table four) Drink now-2015
1988 Diamond Creek "Red Rock Terrace" - this was a rainy vintage that might have been picked under ripe. The label read 12.5% and the earthy espresso grinds on my teeth gave it an Old World character. Last tasted 2007 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
