It Doesn't Get Any Better
Friday, July 20, 2007

Last night Isabell and I went out with our very good friend Emily - current assistant director of Seattle's biggest indie movie company, absolute wine stud, and major foodie. We started the night at Seattle Cellars for their Thursday night tasting I mentioned in an earlier post. We have a flight of wines from Goose Ridge Winery here in Washington - good stuff. From there we walked down to a favorite of all three of us, Matt's in the Market. The restaurant recently re-opened after closing for several months and expanding. The new place is twice as big, views are even better, and the food still fantastic (Isabell had some amazing scallops). We scored a nice off-the-menu pinot noir from Belle Ponte in Oregon. After dinner we strolled over to Tavolata (pictured above) for one more drink. This is a great Italian restaurant and really cool space.
It really doesn't get any better than good food and wine with great friends.
