“Dear PoPville,
ABRA told the manager of D’Vines this weekend that they were no longer allowed to sell growlers, since they are a retailer and not a manufacturer. You can read about it here if you haven’t. I’m pretty disappointed, since I really like the store and it seemed to be a great boost for them.
If you’d like to express your support the OP also sends a letter he sent to CM Graham:
Dear Councilmember Graham,
I am writing you concerning the recent decision of ABRA to bar the wine shops D’Vines and De’Vinos from selling growlers of beer. I have enjoyed shopping at D’Vines since it opened; they have good wine at a good price, and a good selection of beer. I also want to support our local businesses, and I hope you do too. ABRAs decision, that D’Vines is not allowed to sell growlers under their current license, hurts local business, and serves no valid purpose of their regulatory scheme. The growlers are sealed immediately after filling, and they are not consumed on the premises. I hope that you will consider ways to encourage ABRA to reconsider their decision.”
I believe that ABRA is enforcing the current law so supporters should probably encourage CM Graham and the Council to change the law so that it would be legal to sell growlers at D’vines.
De Vinos is located at 2001 18th St. NW in Adams Morgan and their sister store, D’Vines, is located at 3103 14th Street, NW in Columbia Heights. We discussed the growlers here.

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!
