Item Description

Up for auction, a two-hour wine tasting for up to 10 people. Weygandt will tailor the event to your tastes or suggest themes such as a Loire Valley tasting, Sparkling Wines, Italian Reds, etc. They will pour up to 6 wines (per DC law) of the winner's choosing.

Weygandt most recently worked with FRESHFARM on our concert benefit with the great composer Philip Glass this October.

Wines with an extra dimension of character come from special winemakers—people of talent who work hard, but also have that extra feeling about what they do that comes through in their wines. The main objective of Weygandt Wines is finding these people from all around France, Austria, Germany, Italy, Spain and Australia.

Since 1987, Peter Weygandt has been an importer of French wines and has gained a national and international reputation for the quality of his selections and his portfolio of top “boutique” French wines. Peter Weygandt Selections are a near constant feature of top wine journals including Robert M. Parker, Jr.'s The Wine Advocate, The Wine Spectator, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, and Burghound, and Peter Weygandt has been mentioned in articles in Time Magazine, The New York Times, and featured in Business Monthly and numerous times in various wine publications, most recently Food and Wine Magazine. In recent years he has expanded his portfolio to include Italian, German, Austrian, Australian, and Spanish wines, more than 100 producers in all . . .

Weygandt Wines shop is at 3519 Connecticut Avenue, between Porter and Ordway in Sam's Park 'n Shop.
