Hi all! I just wanted to give a shout out to Willow Restaurant, where I work and an event coming up tomorrow. The East Coast Rhone Rangers are having events around the city and we are proud to host three of them for a tasting with paired dishes. The event is at 7:30, for $45 plus tax and gratuity, and you can sign up on the website or call 703-465-8800. It isn't likely that I will review these wines, as I have to work on the line tomorrow, and I have a tough time tasting in a 110 degree kitchen. Everything tastes hot under those conditions, dunno how the festival and big outdoor competition judges do it!
Anyway, we are featuring...
