Zellenberg
2001 Marc Tempe Zellenberg Riesling, Alsace 8/30/07 ($19 @ Nielsen's) - it has a gold color and there's not much fruit. Nonetheless, the viscous mouthfeel with an acceptable amount of acidity and lemon tart make this wine a decent value. Marc Tempe should lay off the sulfur, sanded wood. Last tasted 2007 Drink now

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
