Had a wonderful dinner there in the fall, but we weren’t informed of their one-bottle-per-table corkage limit despite a call to check ahead of time. The best part was the snooty somm telling us that it was a DC law!

The only good part about this is that they are the largest holders of Comte Liger-Belair in DC. Also I heard they have Cathiard for ridiculous prices.
There are options even if you don’t pack your own.

Hmmm… guess we’ll be going back sooner than expected. Thanks, Don and Jon!

Merrill, wondering if you have ever dined at Nora’s on Florida Avenue NW? That is another favorite restaurant for me in DC and has many organic food items on the menu. I’m really happy when the duck breast is on the menu–some of the best I’ve ever had. They also have a nice wine selection and have hunted out a half bottle of red Burgundy for me when I was dining alone. One time the table next to me was occupied by a professional polo player from South Africa who was celebrating his engagement that day. I told the waiter and they brought out a gratuitous bottle of Champagne.

Sorry, Jane, I missed this first time around. I was searching for something else and just saw you asked me a question.

No, I have never heard of or been to Nora’s in DC. I will check it out for my next trip. Not sure when that will be, but certainly April of 2015 at the latest.
