Hosted by David and Nycci Nellis. Today:

• Ruta del Vino (that’s Spanish for “Wine Road”) is a very cool wine bar in Petworth. It carries only wines from Latin America. Chef Willie Harner and Justin Logan are in with sips and samples.

• And, speaking of wines, City Winery has come to D.C.! Located at 1350 Okie Street NE in Ivy City, this will be the brand’s sixth location established over a decade of pouring wine and presenting unparalleled entertainment to guests. In studio are winemaker Pascal Valadier, beverage director Vanessa Phillips and talent buyer John O’Neill.
• Chef Frida Johansson has served as the executive chef of Sweden’s ambassador to the United States since May 2010. During that time, Frida has had the opportunity to cook for such notables as King Carl Gustaf of Sweden, Queen Silvia and Prince Daniel, as well as Vice President Joseph Biden, government ministers, members of Congress, Nobel laureates, the Washington Capitals, and more.
