a m Very nice and cozy. Probably only be able the squeeze 15 people in there max, so with the 6 employees hanging around in there; that makes only 8 of us (the customers). They have a really nice selection of South African Wine - the Pinotage had a price on it that will definitely lure me back. They don't sell any mixes, or any Sodas.

This is my mecca, my haven, my place of sanctuary, for all that is good in the world of beer. It's a very unassuming, unpretentious place to meet your worldly desires through the realm of libations, and once you come once you will always want to return. Norm's is not big compared to many of the other beer and wine shops in DC, but somehow they always manage to score the hardest to find beers on the market. I can't speak to their wine selection, as it seems pretty sparse, and heavily focused on value wines, so I've never really seen anything to splurge on, but the beers available here have not been surpassed by anywhere else I've seen in the metro area. I just picked up my newest treat from Norm's, a 3Liter of Stone Double Bastard Ale (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/7BfS_m3R2SeW-m1vF99gZw?select=pTA8c-wZAqHxiSv-Bt-2-w). Here's just a tease of what else is available at Norm's: Avery Demons of Ale Series (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/7BfS_m3R2SeW-m1vF99gZw?select=yo3LtnJPrEPUl763_vId2g): Sammael's Oak Aged Ale, Mephistopheles Imperial Stout, The Beast Grand Cru Ale Avery Holy Trinity Series (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/7BfS_m3R2SeW-m1vF99gZw?select=RSYaoCaEyonbj-6dnLf41g): The Reverend Quadruple, Salvation Golden Ale Avery Dictators Series (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/7BfS_m3R2SeW-m1vF99gZw?select=28a8zc0PGvGyTiCPaGfBmw): The Czar Imperial Stout, The Maharaja Imperial IPA, The Kaiser Imperial Oktoberfest Huge selection of Dogfish Head (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/7BfS_m3R2SeW-m1vF99gZw?select=hpPUiBSTgGze1nMCw8XgIg): Black & Blue, Palo Santo Marron, Immort Ale, 120 Minute IPA, Theobroma, Burton Baton, Punkin Ale, World Wide Stout, Red & White Founders beers (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/7BfS_m3R2SeW-m1vF99gZw?select=IZpKKm77sTVmtgs0pEythg): Centennial IPA, Breakfast Stout, Old Curmudgeon Ale, Harvest Ale, Red's Rye PA, Devil Dancer Triple IPA Great Divide beers (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/7BfS_m3R2SeW-m1vF99gZw?select=uzJr9ebeqvCzxg5Vo1W2Ew): 15th Anniversary Wood Aged Double IPA, Wild Raspberry Ale, Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout, Hades Belgian Ale, Fresh Hop Pale Ale All kinds of Oktoberfests (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/7BfS_m3R2SeW-m1vF99gZw?select=C9QKC6iTeLs8nCqNg-D9SA): Sam Adams, Saranac, Clipper City MarzHon, Left Hand Brewing, Paulaner, Ayinger, Heavy Seas Prosit Imperial Oktoberfest, Schneider Weisse, Hofbrau, Dundee, Hacker-Pschorr, Brooklyn, Starr Hill Festie Rogue beers (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/7BfS_m3R2SeW-m1vF99gZw?select=zILN48Sau6JpT_wBu0tN3w): Maierfest Lager, American Amber Ale, Morimoto Black Obi Soba Ale, Double Dead Guy Ale, Kells Irish Style Lager, Dead Guy Ale, Dad's Little Helper Malt Liquor, Mom's Hefewiezen Lots of amazing stuff from Stone Brewing (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/7BfS_m3R2SeW-m1vF99gZw?select=cv-c1psCSFXjZdq3G6wHUg): Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale, Thirteenth Anniversary Ale, Imperial Russian Stout, Juxtaposition Black Pilsner, Pale Ale, Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout, Double Bastard Ale, Smoked Porter A big variety of seasonal anniversary or one-time beers (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/7BfS_m3R2SeW-m1vF99gZw?select=iCuKQYrX0VpfZjSTl0WJ_Q): Avery Ale to the Chief, He'Brew Jewbelation Twelve, Samual Adams Chocolate Bock, Avery Collaboration Not Litigation Ale, Sierra Nevada Harvest Ale, Carolina Blonde Platinum Blonde, Fullers Vintage Ale, Stone 13th, Avery 16th, Lagunitas 13th, Unibroue 17th, Weyerbacher 14th, Stone Vertical Epic Lots of tasty pumpkin ales (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/7BfS_m3R2SeW-m1vF99gZw?select=DFB3_LUNuY7wr4ktAiFX0w): Ichabod, Dogfish Head, Southern Tier Pumpking Imperial Ale, Smuttynose, Weyerbacher Imperial Ale Christmas/Winter beers to keep you warm (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/7BfS_m3R2SeW-m1vF99gZw?select=OawPgE7LehJKnqlU2_yOyA): Anderson Valley Winter Solstice, Gulden Draak Vintage Ale, Troegs Mad Elf Ale, Affligem Noel, Avery Old Jubilation, Gouden Carolus Noel, Bells Christmas Ale, Rogue Santa's Private Reserve, Anchor Steam Christmas Ale, Delirium Noel, Samuel Smiths Winter Welcome, Penn Brewing St. Nikolaus Bock Bier, Samichlaus Bier And of course my favorite, stouts (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/7BfS_m3R2SeW-m1vF99gZw?select=eXRaYZH2WzuGaWxv0MZxDw): Bells Java Stout, Guinness 250th Anniversary, Jeffersons Reserve Barrel Aged Stout, Lion Stout, Starr Hill Dark Star Stout, Bear Republic Big Bear Black Stout, Southern Tier Creme Brulee Imperial Stout, Allagash Black Belgian Stout, Mikkeller Beer Geek Breakfast Stout, Left Hand Brewing Milk Stout, Southern Tier Mokah Imperial Stout, Bells Cherry Stout, Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout, Bells Special Double Cream Stout, Lancaster Milk Stout The best of the best, the imperial stouts (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/7BfS_m3R2SeW-m1vF99gZw?select=c86oUl0Izz8ZrfVRxwUdPg): Arcadia Ales Imperial, Rogue XS Imperial, Samuel Smiths Imperial, Nogne O Imperial, Left Hand Brewing Imperial, Lagunitas Imperial, Victory Storm King Imperial

I was gifted a Groupon voucher to this shop, and while I'm not much of a wine drinker, I was…read moreexcited to stop by when I learned they carry a large selection of other types of drinks, snacks, and specialty cheeses. My husband and I honestly took forever browsing and reading labels. The store manager was incredibly patient with us, even though we probably stayed way too long talking about the cheeses we wanted to try and reading through their recommended pairings pamphlet. She was so knowledgeable and helpful with all of our questions, and even mentioned that they could specialty order anything that might be out of stock for us. Because you can buy their cheese by the 1/4lb, we ended up mixing and matching a selection of five different cheeses and a few cured meats to sample. Everything was absolutely delicious, and they have some really unique flavors available. The wild ramp alpine cheddar was so different to anything I had before, and the truffle manchego cheese was completely packed with so much truffle. The shop is currently celebrating their 10 year anniversary, and I can absolutely see why. Between the incredibly friendly, helpful service and a thoughtfully curated selection of artisanal goods, it's no surprise this business is thriving. This will definitely be my new go-to spot for gifts!

Fun surprise-pre-Thanksgiving wine tasting! Beautiful ship with reasonably priced food and wine.read more

At the bar, we got delicious drinks (try the sesame old fashioned) and appetizers (tamale). The bar tender was very careful to ask if it was gluten free for me. We were moved to a nice table for two next to the window. Luis was dressed as a pirate (it was Halloween) and other staff members joined in the fun too. The menus said happy anniversary on them, which was a nice touch. Luis helped me order from the menu, since they don't identify gluten-free options (my only complaint). I had the braised bison shoulder. It was fantastic! Although we waived off on dessert (so full), they brought a complementary ice cream sundae. It was tasty. We enjoyed our experience and plan to return for our next special occasion.

Evelyn Rose: A Restaurant Worth Celebrating A few years ago,…read morefriends introduced us to Evelyn Rose in Vienna, and we've been grateful ever since. We've made the trek from Arlington several times, and the restaurant has accomplished something increasingly rare: it has never given us a reason to regret the drive. For years, Clarity occupied a special place on our restaurant list: excellent food, impeccable service, and prices that didn't require a second mortgage. Evelyn Rose has gradually assumed that role. It's become a restaurant where we arrive with high expectations and leave feeling they've been justified. Our latest visit was another celebration. October is particularly busy in our household, with my wife's birthday and two of our three wedding anniversaries. Yes, three. To each other. Long story, best discussed over cocktails. We'd already celebrated with a European tour accompanied by 30 friends. This time, we wanted something more relaxed. No grand production, just an excellent dinner together. We arrived early, and the hostess found us two seats at the bar for drinks and appetizers. It was a thoughtful beginning, the sort of hospitality that makes guests feel genuinely welcome rather than merely accommodated. Sarah ordered a Toasted Sesame Old Fashioned featuring yuzu, which she loves, and the Squash Tamale. She's equally fond of squash, although under other circumstances she'd probably prefer tennis. I chose a Godfather, partly because I enjoy them and partly because I'm old enough to order one without irony. My appetizer was one of the best Caesar salads I've had in years. This wasn't one of those timid salads where the kitchen seems vaguely embarrassed by anchovies. It had a kale base, plenty of cheese, flavorful croutons, and, best of all, a generous supply of whole salt-cured anchovies. I realize anchovies are divisive. For some diners, they're a reason to send a salad back. For me, their absence is often a reason not to order one. Evelyn Rose understands that a Caesar salad should have personality. This one certainly did. Just as we finished, the hostess appeared to escort us to our table, precisely at our reservation time. No waiting, no interruption, no wondering whether we'd been forgotten. The transition was seamless, another example of excellent service being most noticeable when you don't have to think about it. For dinner, Sarah ordered the Bison Shoulder, I chose the burger, and we shared Beef-Fat Fries. Not every celebratory dinner requires an elaborate tasting menu. Sometimes you simply want something delicious. The bison was flavorful and, thanks to its sauce, exceptionally rich. Sarah thoroughly enjoyed it, although its richness eventually got the better of her appetite. My burger was, as always, very good. Evelyn Rose understands balance, particularly in its choice of cheddar, which complements rather than overwhelms the beef. Some restaurants pile on so many ingredients that the burger becomes almost incidental. Thankfully, Evelyn Rose resists that temptation. My only complaint? There could have been more burger in the burger. Then again, that's probably my general philosophy on hamburgers. Despite my desire for more beef, neither of us could finish our meals. We packed up roughly half of each entrée, happily anticipating a second excellent meal at home. For Sarah's birthday, the restaurant treated us to a complimentary ice cream sundae. A lovely gesture, although by then our enthusiasm had substantially exceeded our remaining capacity. Remarkably, we took half the sundae home, too. It survived the trip to Arlington and now resides in our freezer, awaiting an opportunity when Sarah isn't looking. But the evening offered one more memorable moment. At the neighboring table sat a group of older diners, some perhaps even as old as we are. We noticed the extraordinary attention they received from staff and management. Clearly, something was going on. After they departed, a waiter explained that one of them had been Evelyn herself. The Evelyn. Grandmother of one of the owners. Well, that explained a few things. There's something reassuring about discovering that the person whose name adorns a restaurant actually eats there. Being the owner's grandmother undoubtedly guarantees attentive service, but it doesn't guarantee food worth eating. Evelyn's presence struck me as a charming endorsement and a reminder that there's a real family behind the restaurant's name. (Actually two, Rose is the chef's grandmother... I wonder where she was eating?) Evelyn Rose has earned a place among our Official Celebratory Restaurants, reserved for occasions when we want something special without going Full Michelin. And considering how many anniversaries we celebrate, it's fortunate we've found somewhere we can count on. Evelyn Rose isn't simply a restaurant we enjoy visiting anymore. It's become part of how we celebrate.

Yet Richmond still has its hands on making Virginia residents pay more for alcohol. If you want booze in VA, not beer or wine, this is where you go in the commonwealth, due to it being a government operation.

As you can see in the pictures, they are trying to have it fit in with private retail. That's nice but prices here are high due to Richmond's involvement.
