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.

The First Supper
Yeay, our first homemade meal as husband and wife :)
I'm still getting used to saying that...husband, husband, husband.
Anyway it was yummy. I got to use our new knife, a
Wüsthof Classic Hollow-Ground Chef's Knife. Apparently it is bad luck to give knives as a wedding present and the giver is supersitiously supposed to be "cut" out of your lives within the year. Once we found that out were really bummed considering thats all we really wanted. Our current knives are some sweet QVC ones that Mr.S had to have cause they were such an awesome deal (please note the sarcasm). I've hated these knives since we got them 2years ago.
Anyway apparently you send a penny to the person who graciously gave to the everlasting gift of knives and your friendship is intact. William-Sonoma sent us the penny. How nice! I appreciate good customer service.
So the virginal slicing were with in-season tomatoes. My knife skills are lacking if you can't tell. I finely sliced some in-season tomatoes and sprinkled them with basil, salt, pepper. yummy.
Here's what we had:
- Tilapia (lightly cajun seasoned)
- Fresh Tomatoe Salad (sprinkled with salt, pepper, basil)
- Fried Green Tomatoes (dusted with mixture of flour, graham cracker, buttermilk powder, cajun seasoning)
- Pacifico beer with Lime :)
It was my first time making the Fried Green Tomatoes. Next time I would use less salt and let them rest longer in their own heat to make them juicier.
