1977 "Quinta Do Corval" Royal Porto - Quite light for a port but all the easier to drink. The nuances of ripe strawberries dipped in chocolate would go well with any chocolate. There was also a nutty vanilla almond character too. Last tasted 2007 Drink now-2020
1977 Offley Port, 9/14/07 ($295 at Casanova's) - the bright and subtle strawberry nuances makes Taylor Farms employees stay and linger long after the party is over. The bus boy Roberto was born in this year and believes that this vintage has plenty of life. Last tasted 2007 Drink now-2020

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
