Barbara and Jenna, dolcetti
Aren’t they the little sweet ones? Er, the wines. Barbara and Jenna Bush were spotted sipping dolcetto, the tannic red wine from Northern Italy that literally means “little sweet one,” at Dino in Cleveland Park (Washington DC). The twins may be yin and yang, just like the grape’s description on the wine list:
Delightful: Rich, Straightforward, Friendly, Gulpable
Explosive: Ripe, Juicy, Fresh, Berry Flavors
What’s more interesting than the “star gazing” aspects of the story is the discovery of the restaurant that has an innovative and well-priced wine list, including many wines available three sizes: 3 oz pours, quarter liters as well as regular 750ml bottles. Dean Gold, a former wine and cheese buyer for Whole Foods, opened the restaurant (to somewhat mixed reviews) over the summer and decided to offer wines at $10 above retail. Now for wine geeks (do we count Barbara and Jenna among us now?) that’s worth seeking out!

Sources in Austin tell me that they’re not too particular about what they drink, just as long as there’s plenty of it and someone else is picking up the tab. Good the Harriet Miers is on the case in case sweet little Jenna gets another DUI.
