Wine Rack Store Blog

I am not one to spend more than $15 on a bottle of wine. But when the opportunity arises for me to try pricier bottles, I do. Last week my mother and I had lunch at a ritzy seafood restaurant in Seattle with some of her childhood friends. These people like to have a good time and spend money while vacationing. They ordered like half the menu so we could get a taste of everything. They also ordered two bottles of Veuve Clicquot Chapagne Brut at $100 a piece to wash everything down with. My jaw nearly hit the table. I have never had something so expensive at a restaurant. I am very conservative with my money so I would never order something so pricey.

I enjoyed every sip of that champagne. I also enjoyed all the shrimp, salmon, clams, and calamari which I seldom have normally. I hope one day I can fill my wine rack with pricier, more exotic wines.

Being on the east coast, I have been trying to take advantage of all the different fresh seafood available. I haven’t managed to have a lobster yet. The last time I had it I was 7 years old. I remember my mom making me eat it saying I wouldn’t get it again for along time. Now I think I am old enough to actually appreciate it. I wonder what type of wine would go best with it. I am sure a waiter will be able to suggest something off their wine rack.

I have been seeing commercials for $3 lobster bite pack at a fast food restaurant. I assumed it was too good to be true and it is. These lobster bites are not made from real lobster. They are made from a squat lobster, which is more closely related to a hermit crab than a real lobster. After seeing the picture of the little creature, this really grosses me out.
