2005 Weinbach Riesling "Personnelle" - this year produced a dry wine with less fruit than how I remembered in years past. It was a bit closed and a little young, but I enjoyed its petrol complexity. Looks promising, but needs time. Last tasted 2007 Drink now-2015
2002 Tokay P. Gris “Cuvee Laurence” – Weinbach ($92 on Casanova’s wine list). If there were a swarm of bees around, they would’ve slurped this wine down and brought the bottle back to their honeycomb. It was real sweet and syrupy. The customer had asked for Conundrum so I told him to get this. It was sexy, viscous and had lots of honey. It was pretty mature but wasn’t flabby. Table 25 in Casanova during lunch. Last tasted 2007 Drink now-2013

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
