Cordelia Fishbar’s All Hallows’ Eve Wine Dinner: A Ghoulishly Good Night Out in Union Market

Published October 15, 2026 at 12:45PM

Halloween comes a few days early at Cordelia Fishbar. On Thursday, October 29, the Union Market seafood spot hosts its All Hallows’ Eve Wine Dinner, the second in its Fall Wine Dinner Series.

Chef Josh Hunt built a five-course menu around fall flavors and the charcoal cooking Cordelia Fishbar is known for. The night opens with salted cod croquettes topped with caviar, then goes dark with a spooky squid ink risotto with charred calamari and a kick of Calabrian chili oil. Lobster cannelloni with corn & potato crema and a teres major with smoked hay bordelaise follow. Dessert is a pumpkin cheesecake with candied pecan caramel, because it wouldn’t be October without a taste of pumpkin.

As for the wine, Beverage Director Miles Hunter and the team chose a fittingly wicked lineup: Black Soul ‘Alma Negra’ Brut Rosé from Mendoza, Argentina is a perfect autumnal sparkling rosé to start off dinner, an Enchanted Riesling from the Eden Valley of Australia casts its spell on the risotto. The lobster cannelloni meets its match with Enfer d’Arvier from Danilo Thomain, a rare light red from Italy’s Alps, whose name references the hellish heatwaves its microclimate can bring. A Chianti Classico from haunted estate Castello di Brolio is a perfect foil for the meaty Teres Major cut, and a beautiful ‘Noble Rot’ botrytized wine from the Tokaj region of Hungary finishes off the sinfully delectable dessert.

Montgomery County’s clean energy sector is growing: Bethesda-based Centrus Energy raises nearly $100 million

Montgomery County, Maryland, is building a growing presence in the clean energy economy, with companies developing technologies to support more reliable, efficient, and lower-carbon energy attracting steady investment. In September, Bethesda-based Centrus Energy Corp. raised $99.82 million through a secondary public offering, the latest news of a local clean energy company raising a significant amount of capital.

Centrus Energy, which employs over 460 people, supplies nuclear fuel and services to the nuclear power industry. Its latest capital raise highlights the importance of nuclear energy and domestic fuel capabilities as the United States explores ways to meet rising electricity demand and strengthen its energy supply chain.

Centrus’ secondary public offering follows Rockville-based X-energy’s recent IPO. The company, which develops small modular nuclear reactors and specialized fuel designed to provide reliable, low-carbon energy and has over 1,000 employees, completed an IPO in April that raised more than $1 billion, bringing global attention to the County’s clean energy ecosystem. The company also recently expanded its Montgomery County presence, adding approximately 24,000 square feet to its Gaithersburg headquarters.

Other Montgomery County companies are also addressing energy challenges from different angles. Rockville-based Liatris is developing high-performance insulation materials designed to improve building energy efficiency, while Rockville-based Chaberton Energy is developing sustainable infrastructure and renewable energy projects. In fact, Chaberton also earned a spot on the 2025 Inc. 5000 listing of America’s fastest-growing private companies.

As demand for reliable, clean energy solutions grows, Centrus Energy’s September capital raise is just one example of the investment flowing into companies in this expanding sector, one that Montgomery County is well-positioned to compete in, with its deep talent pool and supportive infrastructure.
