Seattle, WA

I have so much to catch up in my Blog but for right now I want to recommend a restaurant in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle called "How to Cook a Wolf".  Strange name?  Maybe...or maybe not.  It is named after a cookbook with the same name and no there is no wolf on the menu.  You will find small plates meant to share with a very impressive wine list covering all regions of Italy.  I do not have any pictures to share but will tell our story.

To start we paired grilled octopus and porcini arugula salad with a beautiful Montefalco wine.  Next we moved on to bruschetta and a mixed salumi plate with a wonderful Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.  Both complemented each other perfectly bringing out the best in each other.

Mix the wine, neighborhood crowd, small intimate setting and stories told from our high school days and it made for a perfect evening.  I thank my friend Heath Haley for introducing me to this wonderful small trattoria.

Tonight could be even better?!?  More later and pictures to follow!

Saturday night did prove to be an amazing culinary experience.  We visited a place called "Canlis" which is probably Seattle's best fine dining restaurant.  Amazing wine list with so many choices.  Plan to spend a little money there but it is worth the dining experience.  The hours will melt away as you sample local cuisine and enjoying looking through their wine book...or as they refer to it wine menu.

Thanks again Heath Haley for the wonderful company.  Enjoy...we sure did!
