Seattle. Great atmosphere, good wine
list and amazing food.

Tartar

the food is this good.
Prosciutto/Cheese stuffed Chicken breast
Mushroom truffle tortellini
Scallops with pulled pork
Rabbit Fettuccine
Pheasant Gnocchi
http://www.thepurplecafe.com/ - Purple Wine bar. Amazing food, amazing wine, amazing desert…
simply amazing. Make reservations or you
won’t get in. It doesn’t matter what
night of the week it is.
Reservations
is a general rule when you are in Seattle.
If they take reservations, make one, I don’t think anyone in that city
ever eats at home. I had recommended this place to a friend and she reminded me that it does get quite loud in there, especially if you are sitting up top in the lounge.
http://beechershandmadecheese.com/ - Right in Pike Place market. Tons of great cheese. They also have their Original and Flagship
crackers to go with the cheese. Both
great for munching on at the beach or if you stop for a break. Huge variety and all of them are
delicious. Go early as there is always a
line.
http://www.lepanier.com/ - Bread place down from Beechers
Cheese. You’ll smell it as you get
close. Amazing bread and treats.
Stay
Westin downtown is very nice. Convenient location, centrally located to
walk everywhere. You can usually find a
great deal on Hotwire.com

Seattle Wine storage – Best of the best in wine storage in
Seattle. Gigantic storage room,
everything is received for you and placed into your space. Good pricing though at the moment we don’t
use it nearly enough. They also have a
tasting room onsite so you can open and enjoy a bottle right there. What is really nice about having a wine storage location like this is while we were touring around Napa/Sonoma we kept asking the wineries if there was any way of shipping their wines up north. After doing some research after getting home, Seattle Wine Storage was found and we are now able to order those amazing wines that you can't find here in Canada and we are always fully stocked when we take a trip south of the boarder. Also if we buy more when we are in Seattle or Portland, we can drop it in there for the next trip.
