As we leisurely chatted, we snacked on a light veggie plate with tasty quiche bites. This sparkling wine was complex, sweet, and fruity. I can’t imagine a better way to start the night. We opened with a 2002 Guilio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore from Trento, Italy. My husband and I met up with my Seattle Foodie Podcast co-host Nelson Lau and our good friend Annie Nguyen. We began our evening at Destination Lounge for drinks and appetizers. Tulalip Resort Casino provided a complimentary stay, food, beverage, concert tickets, and spa credit.

The food was well executed and expertly paired with beverages. This summer, I stayed at the hotel and had a chance to try our many of their food and beverage options. I’ll admit that I never thought about Tulalip Resort Casino as a food destination. As a local foodie, I think about food a lot.
