From an email:
“This weekend, make a detour to Weygandt Wines [3519 Connecticut Ave, NW] for our 2011 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Tasting and Sale, where we’ll offer great prices on every 2011 Châteauneuf-du-Pape on our shelves.
Peter chooses the winemakers he wants to work with for a reason. In addition to a commitment to producing wine sustainably and with a respect for the hands-on methods that ensure quality, Peter’s partners are hard-working, detail-oriented producers that always make the best of the hand they’re dealt.
Laurent Charvin, Stéphane Usseglio, Philippe Bravay, Baptiste Grangeon–these are producers that don’t shy away from a challenge or mail it in when conditions aren’t perfect. Instead, they redouble their efforts to coax the absolute most they can out of every vintage.
In other words, producing great CdP in ’09 and ’10 took hard work, but weather conditions were in the producers’ favor. In 2011, you needed a Weygandt-caliber winemaker to get a great CdP.
Even better, because ’09 and ’10 grabbed all the headlines, 2011 CdPs are available at a much lower price. And because of the vintage’s much more open style, you don’t have to wait the normally recommended 5-10 years before popping one open. Many of these will show beautifully while young (although they will surely improve with age).
To take advantage of this great offer, just make the trip to the store this weekend–the tasting and sale will be in effect both Friday and Saturday.”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
