Nero D'avola


2010 Cantine Colosi Nero D'Avola, Sicily, Italy ($12.99 at Whole Foods)
This wasn't a memorable bottle but we liked it and finished it. We feel that Whole Foods offers higher quality reds than Trader Joe's. I remember not liking it at first, but my palate got adjusted to the wine and it tasted better with every sip. I think I remember it being fairly tannic with sour cherry and wet bark that you'd find in an Italian forest.

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
