Ostrich
2004 Schloss Vollrads Halbtrocken-Kabinett Riesling from Oestrich, Rheingau 11.5% (8/23/07). This cost $15 at Nielsen's and was worth every penny. The acidity was remarkable and I actually got a russet potato skin nuance that had a sanded wood spice. I felt like I was having a granny smith apple but the color was golden brown. The viscosity was like half and half milk and I thought it was Alsatian in style. Being that there's no sweetness in this wine, a customer would never refuse this. This made me salivate so much that it was stupid-wicked-retarded! Last tasted 2007 Drink now-2012

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
