2000 "Oberhauser Brucke" Nahe Eiswein - this wine was so good that I almost cried! It's complexity and low-alcohol content was greatly appreciated. I'd take this over Iniskillin in a second. The intense, bouquet, flavor and acidity were delicious ($235.00 per half bottle). The ladies who gave me a taste, started with 90' "Sugarille" Brunello by Anjelo Gaja and a 99' Cristal Brut.

2000 Donhoff Riesling "Eiswein" "Oberhauser Brucke" - Nahe - $250 per half bottle on Casanova's list. People love to hear about how the grapes aren't picked until the first freeze after the normal harvest. Even if you’re full, you could have a glass of this. The wine was so good I'm almost cried. Breathtaking acidity with a heavy viscosity. Intense everything! 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
