You’ve had a long week. Take a load off. And then enjoy a nice glass of wine, or four. Check out the two — count ’em, two — wine-centric events at The Local Vine this weekend. Load, officially, removed.
We’re hooked. Harnn Aromatherapy made its US debut in November, but we can’t get enough. Nor should you.
Lend a helping hand with your stomach.
Last week’s earthquake and tsunami impact on our neighbors over the Pacific has hit close to home. Relief has been rallying from all corners and specifically in one of our favorite fashions – through our stomachs. Check out the ways around town you can appease your appetite for both food and charity.
You rarely need an excuse to enjoy a nice bottle of wine. Other than “I’m thirsty” or “It’s Thursday.” But thanks to the women of O Wines, you now have an extra reason to add to the excuse bank.
Owners Kathy Johanson and Stacy Lill created O Wines (the “O” stands for opportunity) to fund scholarships for low-income, high-potential young women. And 100 percent of net profits from their wine sales are donated to these “Opportunity for Success” scholarships.
It’s true that sometimes the things that take more effort are, in the end, that much more rewarding.
This is the case with Las Brisas, the Mexican eatery located far from the standard dining-out comfort zones of downtown. Sure, when you think of “night out” you don’t picture yourself driving north to Edmonds, but trust us, the extra effort is worth it.
The perfect pairing.
The wining-and-dining experience at Tulalip Bay exemplifies the reason why wine enthusiasts and foodies rave about the perfect pairing of food and wine. And you have until April 3 to experience firsthand the same pairing menu that I marveled at last week.
Simply Irresistible.
Imagine waking up to this view.
The 2,778-square-foot penthouse sits 38 stories above Seattle’s famed Pike Place corridor, making it one of the most coveted condos in the city.
If you wondering what life is like at the top, look past the $4,499,999 price tag and follow me for a tour as a 1521 penthouse homeowner.
