Split the Bottle is for D.C. area wine lovers of all levels of sophistication, from Franzia aficionados to Cabernet collectors.  We primarily meet up to split bottles of wine over appetizers and meals at local restaurants. We split the bottle because: By sharing the bottle we also share the experience of drinking a particular wine.  This gives everyone the opportunity to practice describing what they're tasting.  For many, this is the most intimidating aspect of wine snobbery, so some may be mo …
