Eat

Borolo - Amazing restaurant right in downtown Seattle. Great atmosphere, good wine list and amazing food.
Our dinner consisted of...

Starting with a little Proseco, Escargot, Calamari, and Tuna Tartar

The meals, sampled by all of course. Who doesn’t like to share especially when the food is this good.

Prosciutto/Cheese stuffed Chicken breast

Mushroom truffle tortellini

Scallops with pulled pork

Rabbit Fettuccine

Pheasant Gnocchi

We had a very nice bottle of red wine with it all as well. Campodelsole Durano Sangiovese - Italian Red http://shop.campodelsole.it/dettaglio_prodotto.php?l=1&m=1&prodotto=10

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.

Pike place market

8am on a Sunday is the quietest time to go. Vendors are just setting up, the original Starbucks is open but there is no line. We walked straight up to the counter and ordered.

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

Other

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.

You basically make it seem so simple with the article but
I find the issue on hertz car rental ukiah california to be really something which I think I would never
fully grasp. It seems too complicated as well as extremely wide-ranging for me.
I am anticipating for your next blog post, I am going
to try to get the hang of it!
