Trittenheimer


2007 Grans Fassian Riesling Kabinett, Trittenheim (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer), Germany ($11.99 at Lopez Liquors)
This before work treat had delightful acidity that enabled you to keep doing your laundry. A nice amount of residual sugar and low alcohol (8.5% ABV)seemed as subtle as a sip of Sprite. Expect nuances of petrol, lime and other types of deliciousness. This bottle was hidden in the back of the cooler, thus making it the find of the decade--last bottle. Why don't more places have German Riesling?!!

Ostrich

2004 Schloss Vollrads Halbtrocken-Kabinett Riesling from Oestrich, Rheingau 11.5% (8/23/07). This cost $15 at Nielsen's and was worth every penny. The acidity was remarkable and I actually got a russet potato skin nuance that had a sanded wood spice. I felt like I was having a granny smith apple but the color was golden brown. The viscosity was like half and half milk and I thought it was Alsatian in style. Being that there's no sweetness in this wine, a customer would never refuse this. This made me salivate so much that it was stupid-wicked-retarded! Last tasted 2007 Drink now-2012 

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
