Merlot - Carmel Valley
1986 Georis Merlot, Carmel Valley, ($400 per Magnum) - the Taylor Farms party in the Milagro drank five bottles. The subtle brettanomyces nuances are welcomed in situations when the wine is easily quaffed. The deep color and subtle tannins of this wine makes people smile and laugh for no apparent reason. The sediment around the cork makes anyone want to start chewing sediment. This masculine wine shouldn't still have tons of cherry fruit with cigar-box nuances, but it does.

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
