I checked out Canlis winelist. . .you can download it online! SWEETNESS!

If you guys are ever in Colorado, be sure and go here:
http://www.flagstaffhouse.com/

Sounds like it's semi-on-par with Canlis. Although the Flagstaff House winelist is 160 pages!

 

yeah canlis has a hefty book for a winelist. pretty impressive.

 

Dang! I was looking for some of my favorite wines (Norman Vineyards, Paso Robles. If you like "man wines" you should try "the Monster!") and found another one that I had when I was tasting down there:

Tablas Creek Espirit de Beaucastle. . .I got a bottle of '97 while there for $18. They want $85 for a 2002?!

I guess you have to pay for the view somehow.

 

oh yeah, they had chateau st. michelle bottles marked up 3-4x. we went with cocktails

 

I'm always tempted when I go to nice places like that to ask for bottle of Berringer or Sutter Home white zin.

Or better yet, I should start asking if they have any "boxes of wine."

HAHAHAH!

 

hahaha... boxed wine. my friend's dad used to drink that back in the day. they DID have berringer there if i recall. funny huh? i guess some of it is okay? i don't recall seeing any mondavi.

 

Just came back from Canlis.... OMG! Thats all I can say!

absolutg, thanks for the recommendation man! That steak was freakin INSANELY GOOD! The whole evening was perfect. They brought out our desert with "Happy 1st Anniversary" written on the plate in Chocolate Syrup. Best restaurant in Seattle Ive been to! Canlis FTW!

 

congrats on the anniversary (a bit late), glad you enjoyed the food did you get the canlis salad? loved that... and yeah the wagyu was amazing

next up is herbfarm for me. maybe when i move back up to seattle we can have a mini meet there LOL... only $190 a person

 

nice place. Looks really nice.

I was checking them out long time ago on the web and never got to go there. So far the best restaurant I have being at is the Space Needle restaurant. Best Food Eva.
What is the dress code in that place?

My 5th anniversary coming up in September 7th. I was thinking of renting exotic car or something and just drive around town and dine at some nice place.

Anyone know any exotic car rentals here in the area?

 

Congrats man.

A bit too late but who cares. Congrats anyways.

 

jacket recommended for guys @ canlis.

 

Just wear a suit and have your wife wear a dress, no such thing as overdressed at Canlis. Jeans and stuff aren't allowed.

You can rent an exotic car at Park Place in Bellevue (car dealership)

As for the Space Needle, I haven't been there yet, but I am going there in July with my wife's company for a party.... should be fun!

 

Thanks! Yeah Herbfarm sounds really good. My brother went there for his 2 year anniversary in April. He loved it. A mini-meet @ Herbfarm sounds like plan :-)

 

Agreed, Canlis is fantastic. Their winelist is touted as one of the best in the state. I paid a small cork fee and brought in a bottle I had cellared for years. Was perfect. The only negative feedback was the fact that I had to valet my car. There's really no place to park otherwise.

Heard good things about the herbfarm. Not sure why I haven't made the attempt to go there since there's a microsoft discount (two for one).

 

MS discount? hmm... time to bug my friends who live up there...
