Ay, Ay, Ay...Montepulciano!!!


2008 Pirovano Montepulciano, Abruzzo, Italy ($7.99 at Whole Foods)
This was charming. It was light on its feet, but gave depth to something more spiritual. It was like tree bark. It had bright red cherry aromas, and was like that of damp earth. It had a great feeling and was a great value. It was so good that I wrote a song about it. Click the title "Ay, Ay, Ay...Montepulciano!!!" to hear the song..."Montepulciano".

Wine and Waves

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
