Flight Wine + Chocolate

"Hopefully you like going to bars during the weekend, because Flight is only open Friday through Sunday. We imagine that’s not a problem. Booking a tasting at this aviation-themed wine bar on Capitol Hill is a great way to explore some new wines and eat some standout chocolate in one sitting. It’s relatively easy to secure a table of any size by emailing the bar in advance, though it’s not as easy to refrain from bringing boxes of bonbons home afterward. They serve charcuterie and a delicious gluten-free snack mix, but you can’t miss their phenomenal bark strips, a.k.a. dark chocolate sticks studded with olive oil, salt, and black pepper-toasted Rice Krispies. They pair fantastically with the port that’s served with them." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente

"It’s a well-known vacation dilemma—what the heck are you supposed to do in-between lunch and dinner? That’s where Flight comes in. This wine bar combines boozy grape juice and chocolate in a way that will inspire you to book your next trip here immediately. Tasting reservations are only available Friday through Sunday at either 1pm, 3pm, or 5pm, and involve enthusiastic explanations of each wine and candy from the two owners, David and Kevin. Between the lively interior, bon bons with velvety pudding-like fillings, and copious amounts of Piper Heidsieck Champagne, don’t be surprised if it becomes your new favorite place to consume wine and chocolate. Grab a box of their phenomenal bark strips, a.k.a. dark chocolate sticks studded with olive oil/salt/black pepper-toasted Rice Krispies for the road." - Aimee Rizzo, Kayla Sager Riley

"Technically, there was no vérité shot inside Flight, but we’re excellent detectives, and noticed Paul gifted Micah a branded bag from this Capitol Hill wine bar as they strolled around Chophouse Row. Hopefully, said bag is full of dark chocolate bark strips loaded with olive oil and black pepper-toasted rice cereal and a miniature bottle of Piper Heidsieck. But it’s hard to go wrong with any of Flight’s gooey homemade bon bons." - kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo
