BIG NEWS! WE ARE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH FALLS CHURCH RESTAURANT THOMPSON ITALIAN FOR OUR NEXT NEIGHBORHOOD DINNER DROP PROGRAM!
DBW NEIGHBORHOOD DROP x THOMPSON ITALIAN
PICKUP DATE: WEDNESDAY, MAY 11
PICKUP TIME: 5:45 PM - 6:45 PM
If you’re not familiar with our DBW Neighborhood Drop dinner events, we coordinate with some truly wonderful D.C. area restaurants to create a special dinner menu that is pre-ordered from the restaurant website to be picked up at DBW. We provide a few different wine pairings for each drop that can be reserved below, but purchased when you come in to pickup your dinner. All food sales go to the restaurant, we just handle the booze.
ABOUT THOMPSON ITALIAN:
“Our family restaurant is a true labor of love that’s been a lifetime in the making.
Our journey together began in 2007 when we met while working as part of the opening team at West Village’s Dell’anima restaurant. This was after honing our culinary skills at some of New York City’s top-rated restaurants like Per Se, Le Bernardin, and Del Posto. We went on to become chef-owners at three more popular Italian restaurants in Manhattan — L’Artusi, Anfora, and L’Apicio — as well as co-authors of the cookbook “Downtown Italian.” In 2015, we relocated with our two children to Northern Virginia to be closer to family.
Teaming with Falls Church resident and Rose’s Luxury & Little Pearl alumna, Kristen Carson Hamilton (or “KC” as she’s known around here), our collective vision has always been to create a neighborhood spot where people can gather for a great meal in a warm and welcoming place. There’s no better place for that than our own backyard.”
WHEN ORDERING: (Select Pickup Date 5.11 and under the Special Collaboration heading on the ordering page please click on 5/11 Dinner for Two.)
THE WINES:

Fatalone - Rosato "Teres" '2020 (Puglia, ITA)
You may say it's too early for Rosé, but trust us: this is from the southern heel of Italy, and is a dark, rich, dry rosé that suits almost any food you pair it with and certainly these back-and-forth blustery spring days. Don't serve it too cold!
$17.99 - 750ml ($19.99 Regular Price)
Il Vinco - Le Capannacce, Grechetto Rosso '2019 (Lazio, ITA)
Made from a local variety of Sangiovese, called Grechetto Rosso, this is from a very rustic old vineyard in Lazio (near Rome). Break out the checkered tablecloth and the creaky violins -- this is heaven with red-sauce pastas and candle-lit tables. (Organic and Natural)
$17.99 - 750ml ($19.99 Regular Price)
Omero Moretti - Vino Frizzante "Sui Lieviti" '2020 (Umbria, ITA)
“Sui Lieviti'' -- means it's aged on the lees -- that is, it's a pet nat! This is how the winemaker’s grandparents made sparkling wine. Fragrant aromas of yellow fruit, such as apple and apricot. This wine finishes with hints of orange-blossom. Lightly effervescent. (biodynamic and natural)
$20.69 - 750ml ($22.99 Regular Price)
