Connoisseur's Choice - John Metz

Aqua Blue – Co-Founder/Executive Chef

The philosophy behind your wine list: We list some well-known wineries that have a reputation for the quality of their wines.  And we also find great quality wines, which are not so well known, that we can offer for a value.

The biggest trend in 2006: Pinot Noir – of course.

Wines I am drinking now: Italian Reds; there’s so much to learn!

Favorite wine word: Hearty!

The quintessential pairing: Oysters and Chablis.

The bottle I can’t wait to uncork in 2007: A 2001 “2480”- or maybe not yet?

The next new thing in wine: I can’t wait to find out! Perhaps Rieslings, which is one of my favorites.
