RSS FeedWine Tasting & Auction On Thursday
This Thursday is a big day for auctions, so if the Street Sense event isn’t for you how about this one?
The National Museum of Women in the Arts is hosting Wine Is Art, a wine tasting & auction featuring an “international group of winemakers will be in attendance to pour their Gold Medal wines.” The event is not cheap at $150 a ticket, but it does promise to be interesting. The event runs from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm and they expect approximately 450 people (business attire). Some of the auctioned items include:
- 19 Bottles of Rare and Wonderful Burgundy from the collector’s vintages 1995, 1999, 2000 to include 2 tickets to the 2005 tasting and dinner with Allen Meadows aka “Burghound” at the University Club;
- Dinner for 8 in the home of the noted architects (Zatinya, Bistro Bis, SomaFit) Theo ADAMSTEIN & Olvia DEMETRIOU prepared by Chef Yannick Cam of LeParadou;
- Master Class with Armani Make-Up artists and Italian Wine Tasting conducted by the Wine Director/Sommelier of the Willard Continental Hotel, Caterina Abbruzzett with Hors d’Oeuvres prepared by Chef Legret of The Willard Room;
- 6 Bottles of Bordeaux to include 2 dinner tickets to the Bordeaux Dinner with Jean-Michel Cazes of Chateau Lynch-Bages and Anthony Barton of Chateau Leoville-Barton at the Park Hyatt Hotel.
We’re told a TV will be avaialble to watch the VP debate. Review the invitation for more information, or email Neisha.Taylor [at] gmail.com for details. The museum is located at 1250 New York Avenue, N.W.

We are slightly amused that a temporary banner is still considered temporary when it’s going to be for 10 months.
Street Sense Silent Auction This Thursday
We buy Street Sense, the homeless charity produced “street” newspaper, from time to time to catch the vibe about what’s happening on downtown DC’s concrete and asphalt. It’s got a perspective you just wouldn’t get otherwise and we do like the program as it gets homeless people engaged in an enterprise that teaches them skills they can use to lift themselves out of their situation.
Street Sense is hosting Movin’ On Up, its 3rd Annual Silent Auction & Reception fundraiser, this Thursday, October 2 at the Josephine Butler Park Center at 2437 15th St, NW. Tickets start at $25 a piece for access to the auction, endless appetizers, beer and wine, and great fun with Street Sense vendors, board and staff.
