Over the Hill and Through the Kelp



2006 Marc C. Kreydenweiss, Grand Cru Wiebelsberg "La Dame" Riesling, Alsace, France ($14)
The color was gold and that indicated it's over-the-hill character. We're not sure what this wine's downfalll was, but it was dissapointing. On a positive note, we drank it as we kayaked over the kelp at Lover's Point in Pacific Grove, CA. The wine lacked acidity, but there were some honey nuances that seemed to charm us as we struggled against the south winds. For such a casual moment, this was the perfect wine, as anything better would have taken from 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
