While their usual weekly tastings are on hiatus for December, owner Michael Herndon has offered to host a special, Wallyhood-readers-only wine tasting this Friday, December from 5 - 7 pm.

PB&J Latte

No, I'm not drunk.  Yes, this entire post is about a peanut butter and jelly latte. Never heard of it?  Me neither.  I'll  admit I've ordered more than my share of flavored espresso drinks over the years - everywhere from Austin to Miami to Brussels to Rome.  But I had never, not once, not ever, heard of a "peanut butter and jelly latte."  Not until I walked past A Muddy Cup's sandwich board this weekend. WTF?  So of course, I had…

New store to open at former Meridian Market site

Wallyhood reader David snapped this picture for us yesterday, showing the new brown paper covering the windows of the space formerly occupied by Meridian Market (2201 N 56th St).  "I'm hoping this means something new is in the works," David wrote. Indeed, it does!  Looks like the space will soon have a new tenant.  EveryBlock Seattle shows a new liquor license application for a grocery store, called the 56th Street Market, to sell beer and wine. Thanks for the tip, David!
