@lindsaylerman Testify! That lil darlin weaved her way into the convo and group dynamic with the élan of a seasoned socialite. Next time, she’ll be hosting the after-party.

@RandallGrahm Howdy old friend! Here in Virginia, Piemontese winemaker Luca Paschina at @Barboursville makes a brilliant #Vermentino! 5 vintages in a row made @VAWine’s Top 12 in the State. Wanna trade btls?? I’ll send you one. https://t.co/MsN4t9kNZe

@JDV1229 @mackenziechilds Oh snap, was she trying to saber? Bring in the stunt double! Also… can we clink cups in 2022 and put some shattered glass behind us?

[TheModernGent @themoderngent]

@TroyAikman Congrats on the new gig! NFL has throwback uniforms, how about a broadcast in the classic gold blazers? Would love to see you & @Buck rock these one Monday Night!

[TheModernGent @themoderngent]

I ❤️Virginia.

[Andrew Whitley @AndrewWhitleyVA]

Huge props to @RalphNortham and to our Democratic majorities who got this done.

Democrats have delivered, yet again, for Virginians.

[TheModernGent @themoderngent]

Look at what’s happening right now in the VA State Legislature. #marijuanalegislation

[VAPLAN @vaplan2018]

Fascinating to watch this discussion. The GOP don't want legalization, don't care about the systemic racism that has incarcerated tens of thousands of people, but they're very worried about protecting capital owners of the future marijuana industry from giving workers rights.

@vaplan2018 I have a lot of 4-letter words I won’t type in response to that. So awful.

[TheModernGent @themoderngent]

@vaplan2018 @FairfaxJustin @GovernorVA So exciting! Let’s have it. 2021. New tradition: 1st of July parties.

@vaplan2018 @GovernorVA Diggin your play-by-play, btw! Ready to light up with a thrilling 3 at the buzzer.

If you dug “Blood, Bones & Butter” & “Burn the Place,” think of this as “Fruit, Flour & Finding the Courage to Feel All Feels but Give no Fucks.” So much wisdom & belonging in this raw, intimate memoir. Join @ButtermilkRoad & me tmrw Eve at @thebookyaya. https://t.co/Me6UwDnRXR

[TheModernGent @themoderngent]

Where is Belonging? And what do @ButtermilkRoad, @canovatheband, @DiodatoMusic, @gumbo_amando, @rosettastone, @PatersonNJ_gov, #CodaDiVolpe, and a fancy word for "nice ass" all have in common? Hint: it ain't random. #SOMMniloquy https://t.co/hdS2ldRlAv

I, for one, would like to defend @tedcruz. I have it on good authority that he went there to fill his suitcases with Mexican sunshine for melting frozen Texan wind turbines. #hero

The Optimist's Dilemma: What is the worth of mirth in a time of dearth? Hmm. Thoughts + @thebookyaya + #BoBech + hot toddies + @kingtuff & @vaneguu & @PetitWTC. https://t.co/XoBO6VlN0A

No members of Congress showed up. Ugh. March with your dollars... into the political fray, yes, but — more importantly — into the indie restos you’d be sad to lose! I’ve got a Sat night rezo at @alewiferva. Gonna bundle up outside and hope for no rain.

[Tim Carman @timcarman]

The symbolism may have been lost on Congress, given no members showed up, but it wasn’t lost on members of the DC hospitality industry, whose plates have become increasing empty during the pandemic. https://t.co/RQafE9wwzq

In a year that outed countless long-standing hardships for women in wine, it’s gratifying to celebrate so many from my fave wine region... in my fave wine mag. @VAWine @Decanter #womeninwine #virginia #vawine https://t.co/SAaQ4jVdDY

Dear @Hasbro, my last game of #TrivialPursuit is under dispute due to a grave error. Veal roasts and chops with white?? @JancisRobinson, care to chime-in? Besides my palate, I checked-in w @FlavorBible. We need the late great #AlexTrebek to declare, “The answer is... Red!” #wine

[TheModernGent @themoderngent]

“Being a good man matters.” Thank you, @VanJones68. And hallelujah to @JoeBiden & @KamalaHarris. Gonna feel so good to say Mr. President & Madam Vice President.

[Amarnath Amarasingam @AmarAmarasingam]

Yes Van Jones.
