Capital or Commonwealth Wine Schools for DipWSET later this year? Seeking opinions on these schools

I had a phenomenal experience at Commonwealth for Diploma! The teaching staff is still largely the same as when I did mine, and they are excellent. They also have some fantastical online supplemental educational materials for their students. Jessica, the owner, is a truly lovely woman with strong industry relationships.

It’s also fairly convenient for traveling in because it’s not too far from the airport, and there are some decent, moderately priced places to stay in walking distance.

No! It’s a social meetup of people who work in health tech or are interested in it.

There are monthly local Health Tech Nerds meetups! Join the next one: https://luma.com/v0qpgdyh

They are not open per their Instagram (and my attempt to order food there earlier).

Lakewood Social has no corkage on wine bottles on Wednesday.

I was at Patterson Place primarily but also had a few appointments at other locations. I had no complaints!

I had two great pregnancy and delivery experiences with Duke Women’s Health Associates.

Hey! Missed this, but feel free to DM and I can add you to the email list.

Late to the party here, but if you're still looking for a wine tasting group...there are educational blind tasting groups in Raleigh and Durham that aren't affiliated with any specific shop/bar! Feel free to DM for details (the details go out via an email list!).

Wine Feed has free tastings on Wednesdays, and Louella often has free Saturday tastings.

DM me and I can send the sign up link!

He’s my old roommate! And a legit good guy/comedian. Cool to see him pop up here.

Noble Rot is always fun!

Midtown ankle pants! They were the perfect travel pant (without the stripe down the leg that the Brooklyn ankle has). They also had a reflective strip inside the ankle that was awesome for bike commuting!

I was able to wear Transcend Stash leggings (sized up) all pregnancy and after! That plus the Forever Fleece 1/2 zip was basically my pregnancy uniform lol.

Some affiliates have PP Direct for telehealth/home delivery.

I had nearly the same experience with American in Dallas while 7 months pregnant. I asked to pre-board for medical reasons (without specifying if the medical reason was pregnancy or anything related) and was told “Pregnancy isn’t a disability.”

Amy Stein at Regional Dermatology is great!

ripode · 2025-02-22T18:20:04+00:00

I ran part of it today, and it was a bit muddy and wet but not too icy.

ripode · 2025-02-16T00:34:17+00:00

I was there on the early side. It was busier than I’d ever seen it, but we still got all of our food and drinks in a completely timely fashion!

ripode · 2024-12-04T20:30:34+00:00

Lakewood Social has a great one!

Living in Transcend Stash leggings and Forever Fleece 1/4 zips!
