This wine felt like a lot of alcohol however still seemed to sip well throughout dinner. Great color with a moderate intensity on the nose. Simple pleasure.

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.

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.

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!

With no real destination in mind, Mark and I set out in his VW to eat an early dinner….and/or find something tasty to bring home. Oysters have been on Mark’s brain for the past week so we naturally ended up at Taylor Shellfish in Capitol Hill after briefly walking through Melrose Market. We had a couple glasses of white wine and enjoyed a couple dozen oysters- Kumamoto, Olympia, Pacific & Shigoku…a little sample of what is to come at this weekend’s Oyster New Years at Elliott’s. ***If you have not been to this event, we highly recommend it! Endless varietals of oysters, oyster appetizers and Washington wine/beer…even an oyster shooter luge!! Can’t wait :0) Still a little hungry, we decided to get a Dungeness…
