The spring event season is upon us once again, with some of Washington’s best tasting events coming up over the next few months. Prime your pallet and work juuuust a little harder at the gym the next few weeks, because you will not want to miss the 2014 edition of the Seattle Wine & Food Experience (@SeattleWineFood), happening on Sunday February 23rd (12-5pm VIP, 1-5pm General Admission). The event is back in action at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall, which has been its home for several years.

Woodinville Wine Tasting Day - November 2013

Wine tasting: it’s what we do here. And thus that quest took us up to Woodinville for a long overdue tasting day with a few girlfriends. While I was on an ultimate mission to show a newbie to the Woodinville scene some great wineries, I also had a personal goal of getting to some tasting rooms I hadn’t yet visited (or visited in awhile). Did pretty well, hitting two that I had never stepped foot in previously and visiting a few of the old favorites

Sips and the whaaaa? Where'd you go Taryn?

Ok, sorry for the unintended hiatus. I have been a horrible blogger and I'm going to change that right here and now. Life has been in the way of my writing, that whole day job and a boyfriend thing seems to take up so much time! But I enjoy writing so much so it's my mission to get back in the saddle and finally produce the posts I have been meaning to do for so long. Look for new content on a much more regular basis from here forward! Thanks for the support from the (probably about 5? Ok maybe 6...and my mom) people that follow Sips & The City!

Cheers!

Upcoming Event: #Cabacon Day - 8/30/2013

 

What do you get when you combine #CabernetDay (August 29^th) and International #BaconDay (August 31^st)? BAM, it’s #CABACON! This new holiday is sandwiched in between these two established days, and this year will happen on Friday, August 30^th.  The brilliant marketing folks at BevMo (@BevMo) came up with this amazing combination to pair some quality Cabernet Sauvignons with bacon flavored items that they carry. “Whaaaat, that’s crazy!” you may be thinking (or rather you may have actually said that out loud…), but we’re not talking about pairing ACTUAL bacon with Cabernet (cause that would be a little weird). We’re talking about pairing some food items that you commonly see paired with wines that happen to have a bacon flavor to them. Cheese and chocolate people, two of life’s great treasures! The good people of BevMo were kind enough to send over a #Cabacon Day kit for me so that I can participate in this unique tasting pairing and write about it for all you fine people (People? Person? How many people actually read this?). So without further ado, I give you the #Cabacon Day contenders…
