        <content>Well we finally went on friday around 5:30.  Found a street parking place close by and all!  What i like about it 

1.  It's a nice big space with a very big bar and nicely spaced out seats
2.  There are windows all around so it's very light and airy and spacious feeling
3.  The wine choices are quite good, the wine preservation/cooling system is always appreciated
4.  The cheese was good

What i didn't like:

1. they have ONLY American wine and cheese/charcuterie (i know, this is their 'gimmick')
2. They are nowhere near the Cleveland Park metro
3. The dining choices nearby are very limited

So doing an Enology vs Veritas theme (since it is the same owners) this sums it up:  Veritas has a better international selection of wine and cheese; Enology has a better, lighter, roomier space; Veritas is public trans-friendly and there are a gazillion restaurants of all ethnicities, prices, and formality nearby.  I would choose Veritas over Enology all other things being equal, but next time i'm in the area of Wisconsin and McComb, if it's happy hour, I'd stop at Enology!</content>
