Whistler Tasting Tour

After our relaxing spa day, we went for a progressive dinner tour around Whistler.  
 Our first stop was Barefoot Bistro, one of Whistler's finest dining experiances
 We were taken down to the wine cellar, which was filled with countless bottles of wine
 Since it was just Robb and me on the tour, he got to open a bottle of champagne with a SWORD!
 He just sliced the top of the bottle right off!
 We had this delicious beet appitizer at Barefoot Bistro
 It went perfectly with the champagne Robb had just opened for us
 Giant bottles of champagne!
 Robb had his choice of cutting instruments!  They said a guy even did it with his Americn Express card!
 Oldest bottle of wine that they had. 1929
 Most expensive bottle of wine, only 3 left in the world
 There was even a Barefoot Bistro bobsled hung on the ceiling!
 This was an entire room made of ice for vodka tastings.  They carved out the little squares to hold the bottles of Vodka.
 The Bistro had a cozy dining room.  Maybe someday we'll get back and have a chance to eat at this restaurant.
 Our next restaurant was Hy's Steakhouse.  I had an appetizer of a curried lentils in filo dough, and Robb had a tuna dish.  It wasn't that impressive, I only took a picture of the table.  Was just like any other steakhouse.
Our dinner was at Quattro, a nice Italian restaurant.  I had some homemade noodles and mushrooms, which sounds boring, but it was incredible!  Robb had chicken parmasean with house special spaghetti Quattro.
Robb about to enjoy his dinner.
Me too!

We even landed this perfect table in front of the fireplace.  Funny thing, it was the exact same fireplace as in our condo!
I forget the name of the dessert restaurant, but didn't forget the delicious cheesecake and ice wine.  Perfect way to finish our tour!
