Our last trip was to the vineyards in Campania with a quick stopover in Amalfi Coast before we went on to Sicily. Can’t wait to go back! Thank you Stanley Tucci & CNN for bringing back the memories 😢 #campania #aglianico #italy #wine #food #travel #stanleytucci

Note from guest b/c she didn’t like DC laws we follow for safety of staff & guests. We never thought we would say this but maybe Flight is not for everyone. It’s for those who believe in science. And in kindness. #bekind #USSR #commies #1star #youneverlivedundercommierule

We have followed the guidelines & mandates set out by DC govt & CDC since last March. We continue on that same path today as we leave it up to each member of our fully vaccinated team whether they want to mask or not. We welcome our vaccinated guests to do the same. #thenewnormal

Today would have been Breonna Taylor’s 28th birthday! Bre's bright life was cut short due to LMPD's unjust actions. Bre will never be able to celebrate with her family again — and she deserves JUSTICE! #RestInPower, Bre. 🙏🏾

The CDC has not "backtracked on masks." The unvaccinated did not heed the call to stay masked in far too many areas. Now cases and hospitalizations have blown up in those places. The CDC has "responded" to our collective behaviors. Not "backtracked." There, I said it. #science

Women in the D.C.-area wine industry were quick to raise their hands after Washington Post critic Tom Sietsema didn’t name any female sommeliers during a recent live chat. bit.ly/3p9qrFr

No one checks the weather as often as restaurant owners

Pre-pandemic flashback: when Flight Wine Bar was also a James Beard Foundation semifinalist for its wine program in 2020, I realized hadn't visited the Chinatown bar in ages. I wrote about going back to a place that had undeservedly fallen off my radar: wapo.st/4008CK9

James Beard Foundation Semifinalist for Outstanding Wine Program 2023 - we were honestly caught off guard by the unexpected nomination! We’re over the moon by the news, just as we were when we received our very first nomination in 2020. 🚀 🌙 🍷

I am proud to have an administration made up of remarkable women who are unfaltering in their commitment to our work serving Washingtonians across all eight wards. This month and throughout the year, let’s recognize and uplift the women in our lives. #WomensHistoryMonth
