| 2006 Palazzo della Torre |
The
other night we opened a bottle of 2006 Palazzo della Torre. I noticed we bought
it from Lombardi's Everett Marina several years ago. As it turned out we bought
it after one of Lombardi's wine events. This one was called “Wines on the Waterfront”
and took place, May 15th 2010.
“Wines
on the waterfront” was hosted by the fabulous then wine rep Julie Hillman. The
wines were paired with appetizer bites created by then Everett
This
wine tasting was one of a series of what Lombardi's called ‘small bites’. The
‘small bites’ series was great to taste wine and matching food without breaking
the bank.

Out and about - Visiting two chain restaurants
While out one Saturday with two gift cards in hand we stopped at two chain
restaurants . The Claim Jumper and The Keg Steakhouse and Bar located less than
one mile apart in Lynnwood, Washington
Our Observations:
We found the decor in both restaurants was very nice and matched their
theme. The wait staff was well trained and on their game.
We had a pizza at the Claim Jumper. Unfortunately, it reminded us of a
box pizza, not very appetizing looking. The flavors were just okay. Our beer
came in plastic glasses, not the best idea.
At The Keg Steakhouse and Bar we had two appetizers the escargot and a chicken
dip. The escargot had a unpleasant mustard flavor and the escargot fell out of
the mushroom. The chicken dip was okay.
Even though there were some disappointment in some of the appetizers we had a great
time and would definitely go back for dinner service.
