3rd Annual “Premier Drams” @ Jack Rose Dining Saloon
Jun 26 @ 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
On Sunday, June 26, the award-winning Washington, DC whiskey mecca Jack Rose Dining Saloon and owner Bill Thomas will once again host their very own whiskey festival: the 3rd Annual “Premier Drams” – a celebration of cask-strength, new and rare. Self-described as “not your typical whisk(e)y festival,” this afternoon tasting will feature 15+ curated stations of unique bourbons, ryes, scotches and international whiskeys, plus new bottle unveilings, blind tastings, craft cocktails, distiller meet-and-greets and more from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Jack Rose’s 3rd annual event was actually planned for April 2020, but was postponed due to the pandemic. Owner/collector Bill Thomas is thrilled to be able to bring back the popular tasting festival this year.
All three floors of Jack Rose will play host to the massive festival, which sold out in two weeks its previous year, inviting hundreds of whiskey lovers near and far to taste oddities reaching beyond the basic bottles found on liquor store shelves. Distillers such as Kentucky’s Willett, Wilderness Trail, Bardstown Barrel Company and New Riff, and Charleston, SC’s High Wire will bring special barrel picks; while scotch-lovers can taste cask-strength single malts hand-picked by Scotch Malt Whisky Society and Single Cask Nation. Attendees can also explore the world through whisk(e)y, with tastings of international expressions hailing from Japan and India.
Jack Rose’s award-winning bar team will create specially crafted whiskey cocktails for guests, and hors d’oeuvres will be passed throughout the afternoon.
“The festival grew so much from our initial event in 2018, and each year just gets better and better. Tickets have sold out within weeks both years, and we constantly have guests telling us it’s the best whiskey festival they’ve ever been to,” says owner Bill Thomas. “The quality of the whiskey these distilleries and brands bring is incredible, and this year’s Premier Drams will continue to ‘wow’.”
“This year, we’re looking forward to an expanded blind tasting with some incredible prizes, and bringing some new exhibitors on board like the Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS) and Single Cask Nation. It’s the one time every year when you can find some of the best distilleries in the world all in one room, with beyond-baseline bottles to try.
“Of course, our festival is different from anything else. We’re shining the light on hidden gems — rarities you can’t try anywhere else, cask-strength expressions straight from barrel to bottle, limited-edition releases, brand-new products on the market, never-released barrel samples, you name it. But it’s also affordable, one of the best deals out there for the true whisk(e)y lover.”
Tickets to Jack Rose’s 3rd Annual “Premier Drams” whisk(e)y festival are $145/person (excluding tax & gratuity), which includes tastings at each whiskey station, plus craft cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, a souvenir Glencairn glass and more. Tickets can be purchased through Tock at https://www.exploretock.com/jackrosediningsaloon/event/338298/3rd-annual-premier-drams-whiskey-festival.
The 3rd Annual “Premier Drams” takes place on Sunday, June 26 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. throughout the building. The full lineup will be announced in May 2022. For more information, please visit www.jackrosediningsaloon.com or call 202-588-7388.

Romanian Weekend at the Wharf @ Wharf District Pier
Jul 9 @ 8:00 AM – 11:00 PM

The Romanian Embassy to the US, The Romanian Cultural Institute, New York, and Maramures County Council with the support of Banca Transilvania/Transylvania Bank, invite you to experience the best of Romania at the Romanian Weekend at the Wharf, on Saturday, July 9 and Sunday, July 10.

Enjoy live concerts, learn traditional crafts, listen to spoken word performances, and try delicious Romanian food and wine.

The Romanian Weekend at The Wharf is part of a months-long series of celebrations dedicated to the
25th anniversary of the Romania-United States Strategic Partnership, and it is a unique opportunity for
people to get acquainted with both modern and traditional Romania.

The event, which kicks off at noon on Saturday at The Wharf’s District Pier, will feature various musical,
artistic and culinary attractions from Romania’s culturally rich Maramureş region (Northwestern Romania, at the border with Ukraine).

Each day of the weekend will bring concerts by extraordinary Romanian musical artists: the Techno
Witches, a rap group, brilliantly repackaging Roma culture into a modern sound, with lyrics that touch on
social justice, witchcraft, technology, feminism, love, and other themes; Corina Sîrghi & Taraful Jean
Americanu – an all-acoustic ensemble of virtuoso musicians performing both traditional and popular
urban folklore pieces; and Ana Everling Trio, an act fusing Eastern European music with Brazilian and
Afro-influenced rhythms, courtesy of master guitarist Edinho Gerber and percussionist Luiz Everling.
Kicking off the weekend, the Transylvania National Folk Ensemble will create an immersive experience
through main-stage music and dance performances, as well as interactive demonstrations of dance,
traditional garb and crafts in the nearby tents. The event will also feature the DC-based, all-volunteer
Carpathia Folk Dance ensemble. Spoken word performances by well-known Romanian-American
authors Cristina A. Bejan, Domnica Radulescu, Elena Secota and Adela Sinclair will be interspersed
throughout the program.

Throughout the weekend, attendees will also have the opportunity to visit activity tents: “Dancing at the
Barn” for dance workshops, “The Potter's House” for pottery demonstrations with master potter Daniel Les, “Our Story Carved in Wood” for wood carving demonstrations with sculptor Petrică Codrea and
“Does Tradition Fit You”, an interactive folk costume exhibition where visitors can try the intricate
traditional costumes themselves. Other fun activities include the “Romanian Literature in America” booth
for book lovers; the “Gateway to Romanian traditions” booth to learn about ethno-tourism opportunities in
Maramureș; the “Maramureș Photo Booth” for fun selfies; and last but not least, “The Taste of Romania”
tent with a selection of Romanian food and wines to try and buy.

Romanian Weekend at The Wharf is organized by the Embassy of Romania to the United States and the
Romanian Cultural Institute in New York together with the Maramures County Council and The Wharf,
with the generous support of Banca Transilvania/Transylvania Bank.
