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 …

This is a postitive energy group focused on bringing African American/black/multicultural women (although by no means exclusive) together in Bethesda/Chevy Chase/Upper NW DC for friendship, fun, fellowship and comraderie in this area. All the meetups I've seen are fairly close (Silver Spring, Rockville, PG County, Gaithersburg, Germantown) but can prove difficult to get to in the evening, during rush hour, etc. I'd love to bring together a circle of African American/black/mulitcultural women tha …

I'm a young, first time mom and I've recently decided to stay at home with my 7month old son. I'm the first in my circle of friends to have kids so I'm hoping to connect with other moms who like to get out and have fun (with or without the kids) and be active. There are lots of existing groups out there but I want this group to cater to the mama who would never call herself cool-- but definitely is, the mama who has every intention of putting on make-up and that cute pair of heels even if just t …
