TasteDC was founded by Charlie Adler in July of 1997 to introduce Washingtonians to the world of wine tasting and culture through innovative local wine and culinary events.  Since that time, TasteDC has seen more than 10,000 attendees take our Wine Basics 101 class, and created over 600 wine and food events.  What sets TasteDC apart
Charlie Adler's Drinking on the job again!
from other Washington, D.C. organizations is a narrow focus - we just care about what Washingtonians eat and drink and we support local producers, importers and purveyors of fine food and wine!  Many of D.C.'s finest chefs have participated in our cooking classes which are very popular!  We always prefer local, and believe it or not, DC has its own cheese mongers, chocolatiers, bread bakers, and other artisan's of the food world.  Did we mention wine?  Most of our events include a basic introductory discussion and tasting of wine because wine makes food taste so much better!
