Wairarapa Pinot Noir
2003 Borthwick Pinot Noir, Wairarapa, N.Z., 9/16/07 - I didn't know that $23 Pinot Noir was supposed to taste like sour cranberries and under-ripe plums. The high acidity reminds me of the green leaves from the top of strawberries' head. The leather and rawhide flavor did remind me of prosciutto and bing cherries. 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
