2003 E. Guigal Grenache (blend) – Gigondas, France
This spicy, gamey pounder is lot like a Chateauneuf du Pape but a lot less expensive. These winemakers are renowned for their triage system in which they check to make sure each grape is up to par (i.e. not bruised or overripe). Last tasted 2007 Drink now-2010

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
