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 …

This group is for any young couple interested in hanging out with other couples who are Fun, Kind, Outgoing and Open-Minded.

Our goal is to meet other great couples and make REAL lasting friendships, not just networking (like those "other groups" do). There was an article in a recent Washingtonian that stated that married couples who had many couple friends reported having a …

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.
