I think the world needs more establishments like Nick's. Wine is something that everyone should be able to enjoy but over time people have made it intimidating and difficult to understand. I've been going to these wine events in Georgetown at Two Tartes Cafe called Thursday Wine Moves that make learning about wine fun and interesting! Always a great crowd and awesome vibe which is the type of environment wine should be consumed in. Sounds like Nick's place will be awesome too!

If its in a box, on tap or in a can, if the wine is good people should drink it! Here's to the new generation of equal opportunity wine drinking!

The problem with wine in restaurants is that it is TOO EXPENSIVE. A glass of house wine should cost the same as a pint of beer. Every ordinary joint, whether bar or restaurant, should have a $4 glass available, and it should NOT SUCK.

This is why wine is intimidating: because it's still a class signifier and not a beverage.

Please wait...
