However you spell it, Hanukkah makes me smile.  The presents, the food, the lights, I just like it.  And no, I’m not Jewish.  But I do really like presents, food, and lights!

As it’s the first night of Hanukkah today, Cork Market and Tasting Room in U Street is hosting a sparkling wine and latke tasting at 6:00.  The tasting is free, so get yourself over there promptly after work.

For other latke offerings, check TBD’s The List.  I especially recommend Domku in Petworth for traditional Polish latkes.  If you’ll be at home keeping the home fires burning (get it?), Trader Joe’s latkes are not half bad.

Happy Hanukkah!
