"Weygandt Wines" - Washington DC

This is not an advertisement for this new shop in DC. We know nothing more about it than what you see here, and in this item from Daily Candy:
"October 23, 2009 Washington, D.C. Call Yourself a CabWeygandt Wines Opens
After a glass or two, you’re besties with the bartender and vowing allegiance to Dionysus, god of wine.
It’s a vine affinity that would fit right in at Weygandt Wines.
The new Cleveland Park shop skips the middleman, importing hundreds of wines directly from vintners throughout France, Italy, Austria, and wherever else the good stuff grows.
Rich descriptions of the producers (an 11th-century monastery in Burgundy, a 111-year-old family winery off the Danube) and flavors accompany the wines — most of which count owner Peter Weygandt as their only U.S. importer. Framed shots of Europeans in wine caves and fields paint a merry picture.
Perch yourself at the lengthy tasting bar with twenty open bottles at any given time, so you can ask questions and sample before you make a match.
Then hustle home to live in zin.Weygandt Wines, 3519 Connecticut Avenue NW, between Ordway and Porter Streets, suite 10 (202-362-9463 or weygandtwines.com"

The reason this is here is that one of the things many people have come to appreciate with age is wine. This does not mean high-priced wine, necessarily, nor does it mean wine snobbery. Rather, it is that we can put a bottle of wine in its place and enjoy doing so.

If there is a trend toward toward direct import of wine from other countries, and if the story here is true about all of the wine that this store makes available for tasting, why wouldn't you want to leave your wallet home and go for a free taste test of what they have on offer? Consider it one of many returns on all of the bottles of wine you have consumed over the years!
