Hosted by David and Nycci Nellis.

On today’s show:

·        Shawn Townsend, president and CEO of the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington, on to chat about a proposed law in D.C. that would reduce liquor liability costs and better protect restaurant operators from frivolous lawsuits;                                                                                                                                     

·        Along with it being International Women’s Month, March is Maryland Wine Month. So it’s fitting that we get a visit from a prominent woman in the wine biz from Maryland. She’s Regina McCarthy, general manager at The Vineyards at Dodon, a stunning, 555-acre tract in Davidsonville, MD that produces amazing wines;                                                                                                                                       

·        Jack Maher and Jack Walten are cofounders of Sea Suite Cruises, setting sail this year with Whitlow’s on Water, a 50-foot floating tiki bar sailing the “high seas” from Georgetown Harbour and the Navy Yard;                                                                                                                                                      

·        From a Kensington pop-up to a Bethesda brick-and-mortar down the street from their alma mater, Walter Johnson High School, Dalia’s Falafel owner Ben Assaraf and his partners, Kevin Gill and Cody Chatham, have hit on a fast casual concept that’s quickly becoming a Bethesda go-to for those in urgent need of a tasty, Middle Eastern food fix;

·        Drinkin’ wine, wine, wine! We have more talk of wine – ros­é

in particular — as we’re joined by Josephine Carr of Castle Hill Cider and Matt Harmon of Harmony Wine, who created Daze of Rosé, their special, pink twist on a traditional springtime wine festival.
