Wine, anyone?

54 Wineries and about 100 different bottles being poured? All within their first three years of release? Is this a recipe for disaster or for a wonderful, fun, unprententious wine tasting? After our Debuts and Discoveries tasting on June 25th, we can say definitively it was a wonderful event! We had about 550 guests in the door and more wine on hand than a French wedding. Amibience, a local jazz band played in Life on the Edge and Half Pack Live!, a Dean Martin/Ole Blue eyes cover band, played in our Puget Sound Great Hall. The Aquarium was filled with people mingling, exploring Puget Sound exhibits, bravely trying brand new wines and reveling on the waterfront. I know I continue to talk up the events we hold here, but this was spectacular! We've always known how well wine works in the Aquarium and now we've brought it to a whole new level. I'm sure this will be the first of many big tasting events here. Stay tuned at www.seattleaquarium.org
