Sixty Vines brings its global wines on tap to Foggy Bottom

Dallas-based vineyard-focused Sixty Vines opens its first D.C. location Tuesday, on Washington Circle in Foggy Bottom, in a space formerly occupied by District Commons and Burger Tap & Shake, both of which closed during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sixty Vines opened its first D.C. area restaurant last fall at Reston Town Center, replacing the former Clyde’s Reston location, which closed in 2022.

Sixty Vines serves wines from producers around the world, with 60 wine taps, mostly for legged wines. The restaurant chain calls it the closest “from the barrel” tasting experience outside of a winery, and the most sustainable way to serve so many wines at any given time.

Each keg holds the equivalent 26 bottles of wine, and kegs are reused as many as 1,500 times over their refillable lifetime.

Wines are served by the half glass, glass, flights or bottle.

Sixty Vines’ menus are designed to be paired with wines, such as charcuterie boards, salads, wood-fired pizza like fig and prosciutto, pasta and seafood.

The 11,440-square-foot Foggy Bottom location has an open layout with communal tables, both indoor and outdoor seating, a full bar and a greenhouse space for private events.

The Foggy Bottom location is open for dinner, lunch and weekend brunch.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
