Foodie And The Beast

Hosted by David and Nycci Nellis. On today’s show: • Bottles Wine Garden bills itself as an oasis for wine appreciation – and appreciation for the hard work of female winemakers, in particular - on the stretch of Pennsylvania Avenue between Georgetown and Foggy Bottom. An indeed it is. Our old friend Angie Duran is operations director and Erika Parjus is head sommelier. They join us to pour and discuss some of the good stuff to be found at Bottles; • She’s a combo high-powered hospitality industry business leader, foodie extraordinaire and all-around delightful human being. Kathy Hollinger, president and CEO of the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington, is in with the skinny on D.C.’s gala of galas, RAMW’s annual RAMMY Awards, the local hospitality world’s version of the Oscars, only more fun. Kathy is in with lots of info, including how you can attend the RAMMYs, coming up Sunday, July 24 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center; • We met Becky Harris many year
