2005 Chalk Hill Chardonnay – I was shocked at how good this was. I sold the last bottle to table six, as we were out of the older vintage they’d requested. This one was balanced in that it was rich with a backbone. Last tasted summer of 2010 Drink now-2012
2005 Nickel & Nickel "Medina" Chardonnay, Napa - Hey, it's not the "Far Niente" but, somehow it tastes pretty close. I taste a mouth-watering and somehow rich creaminess. All women love malo-lactic fermentation, they just hate to admit it. Last tasted 2007 Drink now-2011

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
