Seattle Wine Outlet


Also on that note, if you are in Seattle and want wonderful, cheap wine and tastings on Sunday morning on the way to brunch Seattle Wine Outlet (on 1st Ave. across from Safeco Field) is the most wonderful place. It looks kinda janky from the outside but don't let that fool you. It is a wonderful gem, Richard who is really helpful and has a true passion for what he does is really helpful. You can get a great bottle of red or white for around $10, tell Richard what you are making for dinner and he'll hand something over to you that you won't be disappionted with. He's the one that first told Mr.S that he was looking to find a wine that tastes like beer :) Enjoy!

Jules Chardonnay


We had the BEST time selecting wines / cocktails for our wedding.
EVE was amazing at hosting the reception, but they took great care of us even before the wonderful evening.
For our tasting I swear we had 12 glasses each on either sides. It was so wonderful.

So we were set on having a 2004 Richard Bourgeois Sancerre as our white wine. We had it once on a special bday for Mr.S and we both loved it for it clean crispness. BUT our wonderful host, Emmanuel at EVE brought us this beauty: Jules Chardonnay from the south of France. This is what Mr.S has been looking for since his baby steps into wine. Something light, refreshing, a little kick with a sweet subtle fizzle. Most people say he is describing a light hoppy beer which he is because he loves beer so much. But I wanted to share our new favorite wine. Try it if you can find it listed at a restaurant. It doesn't look like they sell very much of it per their listings.
