Yes, Virginia has Great Wine Too

Thinking of moving to DC but afraid to leave wine country - don't worry, this is wine country too! There are plenty of wine stores (carrying everything from Californian to Australian), wine tastings, and wine & cheese parties, as well as local vineyards that make great day trips.

One of my favorites is the Curious Grape - the staff is knowledgeable and the setting is very conducive to wine tastings & conversation. Just last month I had a really informative and fun evening sampling pairings of the wines and cheeses of Spain. They also offer full course dinners by renown chefs paired with wines from their collection at modest prices and offer free tastings weekly!

Last month I did a wine tasting / gallery hopping tour of the Dupont art scene. We hit four galleries and had different wines at each! Gold Star Events sponsored the evening and you should check them out - they do everything from gallery showings and singles wine tastings to discounted theatre tickets and over 35 mixers.

This Metro area won't leave you high and dry... or thirsty!
