Orkeed

With almost everything checked off on my list of things to do in Seattle, I decided to just stroll around. I passed the quaint wine and olive oil shop and the sign in the window said something about wine tasting. That was good enough for me! I walked in and looked around for a minute, then walked up to what seemed like the wine bar where wine tasting took place. The shop was called La Buona Tavola, and was run by this extremely outgoing guy, David.

I was at the correct place were I could sample wine, David poured me a wonderful wine from Italy. I was just in Italy last week, so this brought back good memories. The wines at the La Buona are all from family owed and run vineyards. David actually goes to the vineyards and spends a good amount of time with the families and thoroughly checks out if the wines these family run vineyards are the wines he wants to see at his shop. I found each wine I tasted to be of a high-quality and learned that most of the wines he buys have produced only a few cases! That told me that these wines were out of my price range for sure! But, I was so delighted to meet someone would loves wine to much to cheapen it’s qualities.

Feeling a bit spirited after the wine tasting, I headed back to my hotel in Seattle,so I could take a little nap before heading back out to explore some more. By-the-way, I booked my hotel at this site, I found this site to have the best hotels with the best prices.

On my way back, I would pass some restaurants and if they posted their menus outside, I read what they had to offer. I was great to see so many restaurants using local produce, geo-friendly products and organic foods. There was one restaurant in particular that I’ll have to come back to after my nap. It was the restaurant of the chef I met when I was back in the wind shop. He dropped by to pick up some of Davids better stock.
