If DCist had more disposable income, we’d be taking advantage of the countless special food and drink events around town. They can cost upwards of $50 normally, but sometimes it is worth the splurge to enjoy good wine, great food, all in the company of those who know all these things best: the cultural officers of the city’s embassies.

On the jump, we put together a quick survey of what’s on tap in the coming month or so from TasteDC. Be sure to take advantage and reserve your spot. (Oktoberfest at the German Embassy is sold out!)
