Are You Sure A Jura?


2009 Domaine Berthet-Bondet "Rubis" Poulsard/Trousseau Blend, Cotes du Jura, France ($25.99 at Carmel Cheese Shop)
The color was like that of an old brick barn. In the nose, it had aromas of blood orange and citrus, which made me exclaim, "Slap my ass and call me Sally." Why would I say that? If I tasted it with a blindfold on, I would've thought it was a white wine. We thought this might even taste good if it was slightly chilled, but we drank it too fast to find out. Light-bodied, great acidity and barely any tannins. It sounds like a food-pairing knock out.

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
