First Post here: Hungry man from outer reaches of Montgomery County; yes, urbanites, there's still farm land in MoCo.
Spent 20+ years working in DC; still eat there frequently, but also divide time between metro DC and Balto. So, will probably post about some places up there too... unless I get slapped down too frequently. I am trainable.
be well-

Wife and I went to Grapeseed last night. While we eat here relatively frequently, and the food is always good or better, the scallops in lobster sauce and cauliflower, especially paired w/ the Gruner, was truly outstanding. One of the best meals I've had in the DC/Balto area in a very long time. But as the dish is rich, if you don't go with the suggested Gruner (which has a very interesting flavor profile, especially on the under side of your tongue), you'd want a similar 'crisper' white to work against the richness of the food. Wife had the pan fried chicken which was a disappointment; she hoped (incorrectly) that Gillian Clark's influence might have rubbed off... but no, although the breast itself was moist and flavorful.
