I like C-W, and buy the majority of my wine there. But their Italian section strikes me as rather limited. It is, no matter, the closest to 4000 Connecticut.
yeah, I know its weird, but a couple people don’t drink beer, and since its a work thing, I figured it would be better to have wine than tequila. Plus, it would be funny.

The 2008 Villa Montefiori Cabernet/Sangiovese is shockingly good and I think better than its $20 price tag. Although I have only opened one so far so maybe it was an outlier. But i did reload after trying the first one.
4000 Connecticut Ave NW is the Intelsat building, so you may just be in town for work for a few days – you didn’t say. If so, with regard to proximity to the building, Calvert-Woodley is literally a three-minute walk (five if you catch the traffic lights wrong); Weygandt is a 10-to-15-minute walk; and the others mentioned here would all require driving, although they are all worth the effort.
