2004 Ghostblock Cab. Sauvignon. Oakville - Lot's of dry earth with cassis, violets and chocolates. It was big with luscious espresso dirt that would explode in your mouth like "Pop Rocks" for terroirsts. I got so much earth from a baseball field that it's spooky. Last tasted 2007 Drink now-2015
2004 Groth Cabernet, Oakville $75 – Pretty rough wine with nuances of herbaceous crème de cassis. Would somebody save these guys $70 and buy them a five-dollar Chilean cabernet blend. Last tasted 9/26/07Drink now-2015
2003 Detert Cab Franc, Oakville - Cinnamon-cherry candy that reminded me of the candy on the outside of a candy apple. It had a Big Red bubble gum aroma that was a bit pepperminty. The wine was masculine, but had a feminine elegance that stood out amongst the "Big Boys" 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
