Syrah is heralded as one of Washington’s best varietals and the ever-popular 15th Annual Sexy Syrah returns to Salty’s on Alki Beach, one of Seattle’s hottest view restaurants, from 6-9pm on Thursday, April 28, 2016.

“Syrah is seducing wine enthusiasts who have an affection for red wines with bold spices, rich fruit and silky texture,” says Sommelier David LeClaire, who co-produces the event with Salty’s Sommelier Tim O’Brien.  “Salty’s goes overboard with a generous array of foods and there’s a  great lineup of over 35 wineries.”

Salty’s Executive Chef Jeremy McLachlan presents an ambitious menu of appetizers designed to showcase Syrah’s outstanding affinity for food.  Passed appetizers include brisket sliders and crostini, and the buffet table will offer beef shank ragu and roasted leg of lamb, among other ohhh-so-perfect-for-Syrah pairings.  This year, several wineries will also be pouring Syrah-based blends and refreshing Rosés made with Syrah.

Editor’s note: This event is always a sell-out, so purchase tickets early if you plan to attend.

When: Thursday, April 28th
Where: Salty’s on Alki Beach
Regular Admission: $50, entrance from 6-9pm
Earlybird VIP Entrance: $65 — Arrive an hour early at 5pm and taste with the judges 
and media before the crowd arrives (hurry, limited availability).

Tickets: Must be purchased in advance online at here at John L. Scott Foundation. A portion of the ticket proceeds will benefit Children’s Hospital working with John L. Scott Foundation.

Salty's on Alki Beach is one of the world's top view restaurants, with stunning panorama water vistas of the Seattle skyline. Salty's is located at 1936 Harbor Avenue. S.W in West Seattle, across the harbor from downtown Seattle.
