Chilean Cab. and Chinese


2010 Casa Lapastolle Cabernet Sauvignon, Rapel Valley, Chile ($14)
Since we were sipping Grand Cru Champagne all day, it was hard to walk into a liquor store and find something worthwhile. But, we were headed to eat Chinese food in Chinatown, San Francisco and our expectations weren't too high. So, we bought this, put it in a brown paper bag and quaffed it on the way to our new favorite restaurant Sam Wo. We sipped it out of our of Dixie cups and they didn't charge us corkage. Fig, cassis and plum characteristics paired well with the experience.

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
