A regulatory axe to grind (or throw) | Vine Art … from the palate of first vine wine online

My husband Cy and I never miss the Health Code Violations blurbs in the Washington Post every Thursday. While it seems a bit ghoulish, they shine a light on how local government functions. Admittedly, it’s not nice to read that a favorite restaurant or grocery store had a rodent or insect infestation. But some entries are for alcohol-related violations, and the citations and fines are issued by the city’s Alcoholic Beverage Regulatory Administration, or ABRA, which also regulates First Vine. Health Code Violations get reported in the Washington Post every Thursday. Interestingly, many of them are related to alcohol regulation which seems to apply in areas you wouldn’t think it did. Some of the listings are real head-scratchers, but this one about axe throwing really stood out.

New wines relieve the headaches of getting them here | Vine Art … from the palate of first vine wine online

After waiting months and months, a shipment for First Vine finally arrived here in DC about two weeks ago. We have wines from two new producers in Italy and an old favorite from France. Cy took this photo of me as we began unpacking the pallets from a shipment that arrived a couple of weeks ago. Lots of delays in getting it here to DC, but we’re happy to have the wines! So, hooray! I really like the new selections and have undimmed appreciation for the ones I’ve been buying now for more than a decade. And the fun parts of the process were all still there – trying new wines and getting to know new producers (plus chatting with the ones I’m continuing to buy from). Even though meetings were online instead of in person, and transatlantic air shipments of samples didn’t always work out as planned. Still, it all resulted in that familiar thrill when the pallets show up at the warehouse, just waiting to be unwrapped and organized in First Vine’s storage area.
