Hey, isn’t that . . . a roomful of VIPs at Georgetown’s Cafe Milano following the memorial service for congresswoman turned diplomat Ellen Tauscher at Washington National Cathedral on Monday?
Milano owner Franco Nuschese, who counted Tauscher as a dear pal, closed his Georgetown watering hole for the day to serve up pasta, seafood and salads for the bittersweet gathering. The reminiscing over rosé was in keeping with the service earlier, at which Feinstein celebrated her colleague, one of the first women to hold a seat on the New York Stock Exchange before serving in Congress for more than a decade and then at the State Department. “Anybody that’s worked with her . . . or drank a little California wine with her knows the special person that she is,” she said.
