ENO Wine Bar celebrates its 1st year in Georgetown

Seven vintners and producers celebrate with ENO on its 1st Anniversary

Opened in the fall of 2013, ENO Wine Bar has spent the last year introducing its neighbors to a new wine bar experience. In an approachable, yet sophisticated setting, ENO offers a distinct menu of seasonal small plates, local cheese, charcuterie, chocolate, and wine. The cozy, three-level wine bar offers hundreds of selections from both the Old World and New World with approximately half of the bottles priced under $60. ENO offers 30 wines by the glass, and eight on tap, with prices starting at $9. For ENO’s wine aficionados, the specially curated Bucket List with notable wines poured from a Coravin Wine System start at $30.

ENO has positioned itself as the neighborhood wine bar, welcoming guest to relax and grab a glass of wine after work, hold private events in The Cellar, meet with friends on the weekend, or enjoy a cozy date night. Since opening, visits from our local vintners, cheese makers and chocolatiers have been a monthly occurrence at ENO. Dubbed “ENOversity”, the casual-yet-informative tasting sessions allow guests to brush up on array of wine topics. Our in-house wine geeks, Sabrina Kroeger and Roberto Picado, have also introduced a monthly Sunday wine school of their own, curating perfect pairings and highlighting wines of select regions.

To celebrate the past years success, ENO Wine Bar created a guest-inspired anniversary flight featuring it’s most popular wines; Mohua Sauvignon Blanc, Iris Vineyards Pinot Noir, and Familia Mayol Malbec. Facebook’s fans will have a chance to name this $15 flight which will be available all month. The flight’s name will be announced on Friday, October 17 before the anniversary celebration kicks off.
