2005 Corton Charlemagne, Louis Latour – the gold color indicated that it was getting a bit old and it had that brioche nuance. For $125 a half bottle, this wine was disappointing. Although interesting, the wine is headed downhill. Maybe the wines just weren’t stored or shipped properly? Last tasted winter 2010 Drink now
2005 Corton Charlemagne - Henri Boilot - $125.00 Great citrus minerality that was real clean with nice weight on the center of the tongue. It had a nice bite and was pure. I felt like a deer drinking out of a brook. Had a loosely-goosey, friendly approachableness that a Meursault might have and had backbone. It wasn't sour, but made you salivate—a real hot blonde with a bright future. Last tasted 2007 Drink now-2011

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
