@ Nongreasy Sweatproof
I'm so pleased that you found a proper point d'entrée vis-a-vis the wine-tasting circuit. Furthermore, you came across as genuine in your work interests, your spare time interests, and your desire to meet date-able partners - it's easy to wish you good will.
I genuinely enjoy DC and I sincerely want people who live here to enjoy it too. That's my ulterior motive for posting in this forum. I want to make it as easy as possible, for as many people as possible, to fall in like with DC.
I hope you enjoy the wine-tasting(s) as well as any other cultural events you choose to attend. Since you plan to enjoy some benefit from my advice, wgould you please do me a favor & click the "Rate this post positively" link? Virtuous circles make the world go 'round.
Wishing you good karma & feng shui, etc. from the heart of DC -
