2005 O'Connor Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley 8/30/07 - less thin than the Torri Morr and a better value. It had smoky leather integrated with prosciutto. It was subtle without being sour. For $50.00 on list, "What a value! Last tasted 2007 Drink now-2011
2005 Walter Hanzel "K-Hill" 9/6/07 - this Russian river Pinot displayed strawberries that were peppery and had byte. Very nice. Thank you Paul Bullard. Hanzel is so hot right now. Hanzel. 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
