Seattle wine shops?


Recommended Posts

A :wub: very very dear friend :wub: of mine is about to turn 21. I am too far away and too tied up to help her celebrate, but I would like to do something nice for her anyway, it is one of THOSE birthdays, y'know?

What I'm thinking is buying her a nice bottle of wine at a shop where she could pick it up? maybe there is a place that'd deliver it?

maybe a gift certificate to a wine bar?

I know very little of seattle, I'd love some ideas!!!

Money is a bit of an issue (we're both college kids) but not much of one.

any advice'd be great!

thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Matt's in the Market - she has to get off the Ave sometime. They have wine by the glass or bottle, great food, funky place. They'll fuss, in an East Coast way over her birthday (as in, give her a bad time, probably no freebies, but you never know.)

They carry a lot of Northwest wines and some European as well with a lean toward German and Australian. They have a good reputation.

I'm all for "shop local" normally, but what about mail/online ordering a bottle of wine for her?

I have friends who've started doing this in the last few years when they want something they can't find locally, and they've been quite happy with the results. if you're interested PM me & I will find out details...

Do you suffer from Acute Culinary Syndrome? Maybe it's time to get help...
