"Wine is something larger than we might imagine. Wine is passion. It's family and friends. It's warmth of heart and generosity of spirit. Wine is culture and refinement. And wine is the very essence of civilization and what we mean by the Art of Living." -Robert Mondavi Calling all those in the Washington DC metro area that love to drink and learn about great wine and enjoy everything that accompanies it – great food, travel, culture, building friendships, great conversations, laughter and mem …

Do you love brunch but hate getting up early in the morning? Do you live in DC or are you willing to come into DC for brunch?

An opportunity for LGBT professional women-who work downtown-to spice up their day with dash of social life. Bon appetite.

Split the Bottle is for D.C. area wine lovers of all levels of sophistication, from Franzia aficionados to Cabernet collectors.  We primarily meet up to split bottles of wine over appetizers and meals at local restaurants. We split the bottle because: By sharing the bottle we also share the experience of drinking a particular wine.  This gives everyone the opportunity to practice describing what they're tasting.  For many, this is the most intimidating aspect of wine snobbery, so some may be mo …

I love food. Cooking it, eating it, talking about it, reading about it, watching shows about it. But I’ve had trouble finding people around my age in this city who like to make this a part of their daily life AND are looking for friends that are interested in the same. This is a group for those who want to explore all forms of food the DC area has to offer (restaurants, specialty stores, etc.), cook and bake for others, and meet new people in their 20s and early 30s who want to do the same.

Slow Food is a non-profit, eco-gastronomic member-supported organization that was founded in 1989 to counteract fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world. To do that, Slow Food brings together pleasure and responsibility, and makes them inseparable.

It's easy to halve the potato where there's love. The whole idea behind my supper club was to have “family style” dinners which means that each participant is treated as family. I want to create an atmosphere where people feel comfortable, enjoy dinner conversation and a good meal. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s hard for people to slow down, sit down and enjoy dinner. This is my attempt to bring this tradition back – at least in my home. I miss having people to eat with, I believe strongly t …

Instead of England's early Sunday dinner, a postchurch ordeal of heavy meats and savory pies, why not a new meal, served around noon, that starts with tea or coffee, marmalade and other breakfast fixtures before moving along to the heavier fare? By eliminating the need to get up early on Sunday, brunch would make life brighter for Saturday-night carousers. It would promote human happiness in other ways as well. Brunch is cheerful, sociable and inciting. It is talk-compelling. It puts you in a go …
