Sea otters are some cool critters, and we got to hang out with them at the Seattle Aquarium’s “Debuts and Discoveries”, June 24th, 2010. Additionally cool was that money raised from the event will be used for marine conservation projects.

This was a special event for wineries that are “new and emerging” (that is; less than three years old). There have been so many new and wonderful creators of wine in the Seattle area, that this event was a chance to see many of the up and coming sommeliers together (so as to make proper comparisons).

We lucked out and were seated next to our friends from Davenport Cellars and got to get creative with our wine-chocolate pairings. Our experiments were met with enthusiasm by people who visited our tables. It’s so cool to see our “audience” get excited about the same stuff we do (that’s us taking a bow! thank you, dear fans! we’d be nothing without you….really, we mean that.)
