What a day! Real wine, real friends, fo’ REAL!
I just can’t fit everything I want to say into 140 characters, so please indulge me in a little blogging.
First, I want to thank Joe Dressner from Louis/Dressner Selections![]()
and Monika Caha from Monika Caha Selections
for coming down and joining us in the battle that is Real Wine. We are so privileged to have them as partners! Their selections are a huge part of what makes our portfolio so special.
Next, a HUGE thank you (and that just doesn’t seem like enough!) to Diane and her crew at Cork Wine Bar in DC for hosting our portfolio tasting. I cannot leave out a warm Williams Corner thank you to all of our fantastic friends who came out to see the new Spanish wines from José Pastor Selections, the new French wines, and Joe and Monika’s fantastic selections.
. After the portfolio tasting we couldn’t just stop tasting all that wine! We HAD to go to dinner at Dino an unbelievably delicous Italian restaurant featuring dishes that hearken back to ancient timesDean Gold’s unwavering commitment to authenticity, quality and knowing precisely where his food came from is beyond compare. Needless to say, dinner was delectable! Dinner at Dino

And I have to mention the “Undertaker” cocktail from beverage director Scott Palmer. Chartreuse never tasted so good! Scott is as passionate about the wine and spirits he serves as Dean is about the food.
