Lopez Liquors Delivers



2010 Don Rodolfo Torrontes, Cafayate Valley, Argentina ($10 at Lopez Liquors, Pacific Grove) The color wasn't too gold or like the color of water. It was light gold, but not super light. It had a super floral aroma like that of a Viognier, but the alcohol wasn't as high (13.5%). There were excellent grapefruit and citrus notes, but it was a little heavier than that of a Sauvignon Blanc. We knew we were serving lingcod with citrus and butter, so we thought this would be a good choice.

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
