Tonight my pairing worked! We enjoyed a couple sips of Fish House Sauv Blanc 2010 with a calamari inspired pasta dish (more on that later). The wine had notes of grass, lemon. Ash says it was dry with a sweeter finish.

My parents are out of town, while sad, this provided Ash and I an opportunity to start throwing together some long overdue ideas! One thing about me that most people do not know…is that I am a Caesar salad connoisseur (I love caesar salads). Ever since my mom used to take me jewelry shopping in San Francisco; we would stop off and get a hand tossed Caesar salad from the jewelry gift center in between ducking into the small shops. Fast forward 20 years I am married 🙂 I started searching for Caesar salad dressing recipes and found a bunch. Two things I wanted in my dressing eggs and anchovies…NO MAYONNAISE <– for some reason a lot of recipes call for mayo…ewww (not having…

Ash & Mark : This cabernet paired well with the grilled ceasar and chicken salad we had tonight. The shaved parmesan with chicken, taken with swig of cabernet was great. This cab sav is slightly buttery and on the drier side with hints of oak.

Saturday night sushi paired with what I would consider my favorite sake’s. A dry, sweet and light sake with an albacore hand roll mmmm.

Last night was our last game of the spring soccer season. Needless to say we lost. We celebrated with a bottle of Apex Cellars Brut Reserve. I had a glass and enjoyed the bubbles with the hints of spice on the nose. Ash likes it.

Today was our first screw top wine in our 365 quest as well as first pinot noir. We paired the wine with Via Tribunali pizza. The wine seemed a little young, green and a mix of a bunch of grapes that are just slightly off…nevermind its starting to open up as I took that 30 minute break 😉 Still slightly acidic for my taste (MM). Ash now…its getting better as its open, its light with not to much depth (she will try again tomorrow).

Portteus Rattlesnake Red 2010. Ash liked it. Was in our wine cellar and drank at slightly colder than room temperature. During the first 5 minutes of being opened the wine had a slight bite…but as the tasting went on…the wine turned awesome and then we bought a bar 🙂 This was our first wine for the challenge and we will revisit again after 30 days!

Earlier today we (theSeattleCook) were invited to the press screening of SOMM. Ash was busy today so I took my dad. Needless to say the movie re-inspired my love of wine. While sitting in the Uptown Theater in Queen Anne I had a moment of clarity (I think)…since we have been lacking on content for theSeattleCook…why don’t we write about the wines we’ve been drinking…hell…why not drink or taste wine for 365 days…and thus I present the rules as defined by Ash and I over a bottle of Portteus Rattlesnake Red 2010… —The 365 Days of Wine Challenge— (updated w/ rules 13, 14 May 28th, 2013) Taste, sip or drink wine, champagne or sake for 365 consecutive days (spitting is allowed) Tasting, sipping or…

I stopped juicing within 24 hours of getting a juicer…just was not for me. But what I learned was that the juicer makes great cocktails and so I figured I could make a soup. I headed over to Whole Foods South Lake Union and bought about 14 zucchinis. I know there is a saying that goes something like…if you have to buy zucchinis, you do not have enough friends; that’s cute but we live in the city and hardly leave. Good thing is zucchinis are cheap. So here is was I did… Step 1 I juiced 14 zucchinis into a sauce pan. Then I slowly heated the zucchini juice over a low-mid heat. Add pats of butter to thicken. Garlic poweder, truffle oil and…
