Oyster Frenzy at Flying Fish Restaurant
Yours truly poured for thirsty Sauvignon Blanc fans at the Oyster Frenzy at Flying Fish Restaurant this weekend. For those not familliar, Flying Fish is in Seattle's Belltown area. Here I am posing with the Oyster Lady. I had so much fun working this event. I even had time to taste a dozen or so oysters. I really love the Hama Hama and West Vancouver oysters. Blowing kisses to Jeff for the continuous stream of oysters! This is a very popular annual event (4th year in a row!) and indeed there was a line around the block before the doors even opened. I think at it's peak there were a few hundred rabid oyster fans filling the event rooms. I met a lot of Chinook wine fans and I think made a few new ones. We talked about wine and oysters, oysters and wine. Is there anything better in the world? Thank goodness I had a wingman, my friend Jeannine. She worked the event with me which was a godsend especially when things got very busy. She also had a chance to sample all the delicious array of oysters. I had a few nice surprises. I had a few long time friends show up at the event and we had some time to catch up afterwards. My friend S works for NOAA and vouched for the ocean's water quality and a great season to eat oysters. Nice to know someone with the inside scoop. I will definitely be back for this event whether to work or be one of the frenzied fans.
