DC Wine Week Toasts the Town

by Pete Waters 

Wine enthusiasts in the District have reason to celebrate with the arrival of DC Wine Week, which started off strong with its “Official Opening Bash” hosted at Sonoma Restaurant and Wine Bar in Capitol Hill on Saturday night.
The event, co-hosted by DC Event JunkiePivot Point Communications, DC Magazine, and other local supports was attended by such patrons of the pour as attorney/advocate Stef Woods, WUSA’s Lindsay Mastis and Patrick O’Brien — all sampling the fruit of the vintner’s art.  Hors d’oeuvres were also provided, with connoisseurs like Food and Wine Diva Summer Whitford on hand to enjoy them.

Of course, the opening reception was just that – the opener – according to Lisa Byrne, DC Wine Week organizer. Wine Week runs from Saturday the 15th to Saturday the 22nd.  Drink to the full schedule… available here.
