August 6, 2008 -- Wednesday Wine Tasting

It's our regular Wednesday Wine Tasting at The City Wine Sellar. Don't let the fact that we had a wine tasting last night stop you from attending this one. We will be tasting wines from the Canyon Road and Firestone wineries. Both well-established wineries in California. We will taste Firestone Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, and Merlot and Canyon Road Chardonnay, Cabernet, and Merlot.

Sarah Murray, Fitness and Aquatics Director at the YMCA will be our Guest Pourer this evening. She'll do swimmingly well, I'm sure.

Sipping begins at 6:00 pm and lasts until 7:30 pm. Cost is $10 per person, which includes light appetizers and a chance to hang out with a bunch of cool folks. It's always a fun time (till cleanup starts). If you've never been to a tasting at The City Wine Sellar, give it a try. We're not a stuffy bunch. It's a relaxed and casual atmosphere. Call 252-335-1163 for more information.

August 1, 2008 -- Chuck Hodges

If there was just one word to describe Chuck Hodges, it would be eclectic.  But who wants to limit themselves to just one word!  Energetic, entertaining, super-duper talented -- I could go on and on.  His mix of music is to die for!  I can guarantee that if you're a musician, you will be both jealous and in awe at the same time.  Chuck can play and sing just about anything.  And he does!  So, don't miss him this Friday night at The City Wine Sellar.  He'll be there from 7:00-10:00 pm. Deli fare served until 9:00 pm.  Stop by and visit with him and friends (you know he always invites friends to join the band and join the fun).  Call 252-335-1163 for more information.

July 25, 2008 -- Ty Fleming

I call Ty Fleming the teddy bear entertainer. He's a laid back guy who simply wows you with his talent. It's been quite a long time since he's graced us with his presence, so don't miss out this Friday night. Ty has a band, but plays as a one man show for us at The City Wine Sellar -- he plays classic rock and some original tunes, as well as a bit o' country. Music from 7-10 pm; Dinner served till 9:00 pm. Come on down to The City Wine Sellar and enjoy hanging out with friends. Call 252-335-1163 for more info.

Friday, July 18, 2006 -- Without Further Adieu

Last week we were entertained by the super-duper group, Further Adieu, and it was awesome as usual! This week, the stars must be aligned perfectly because we're extra-lucky enough to have an encore of sorts. The acoustic duo of Nick Simmons and JJ Jernigan, hereinafter and forever referred to as "Without Further Adieu" (get it?) will be on stage at The City Wine Sellar. So, practice your bocce ball at Mariner's Wharf, but don't forget to swing on down and visit with us on the corner of Main and Water Streets -- the coolest place in town with the coolest customers and the coolest entertainers.

Wine Tasting -- July 2, 2008

I wasn't thinking. It's as simple as that. Although Concha Y Toro winery is a superb winery in Chile and will make for a great wine tasting, I "faux pas"ed (that's French for screwed up). A July 2nd wine tasting should be a celebration of American wines...we have SO many of them! So, to correct my error in judgment, we will make this month's theme "A celebration of our freedom to choose any wine we darn well please." Among our selections: Casillero del Diablo Privada, Carmenere, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc; Marques De Casa Cabernet; and Frontera Rose.

Guest Pourers will be: Terri Arrants and Amy Frazier from Shape Up Salon and Kim Markham from Fitness Warehouse.


Tasting time is 6-7:30 pm. RSVP Requested. Light appetizers. $10 per person. Call 252-335-1163.

July 4, 2008 -- Intelligent Design

You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism. ~Erma Bombeck

Spend July 4th with your family and friends at the beach, in your back yard, on the river, wherever it feels right. Enjoy life and stop to appreciate it. Say a quiet prayer for all of our heroes, past and present. At the end of the day if you're not too tired, full, or sunburned, stop by The City Wine Sellar for some light music. We will have a new entertainer, Justin Dorman, who plays folk, indie rock, and acoustic rock. He says he's good. I'll trust him. Either way, we'll be having a good time.

Music from 7-10; Dinner 6-9; fun and frolicking till we close (around 11ish). Call 252-335-1163 for more info.

July 27, 2008 -- Deacon Blues

Waylon Jennings said, "I've always felt that blues, rock 'n' roll, and country are just about a beat apart." I don't necessarily agree with that, but in the sense that it's all music, it's all good! It'll surely be good on Friday night when Deacon Blues strolls into the City Wine Sellar for their gig. They are a laid back, mellow, and all-around "sway inducing" duo. As usual, we'll have music from 7-10 pm, we'll feed ya till 9:00 pm. Wine and beer will be available to help you get that swaying started! Call 252-335-1163 for more info.

June 20, 2008 -- Ticky Tacky

I can't tell you how many times recently I've heard, "When is Ticky Tacky coming back? We love them!" Well, your wish is my command...Ticky Tacky will be playing this Friday, June 20th. For those of you who haven't heard them, you've missed one of those classic, laid back, chock full of quality-type bands. Bill Luton, Brittany Luton, Mindy Luton and Charlie Hoidal have pooled their talents and, man-0-man, are they awesome! Their playlist includes a hodgepodge of hits from the classics to 90s rock today's pop tops. They'll play from 7-10 pm. We'll feed ya till 9:00, and keep you in liquids till we lock the doors. Call 252-335-1163 for more information.

June 13, 2008 -- Dr. Tom Vinick

Make this Friday the 13th your lucky day with entertainment by Dr. Tom Vinick at the City Wine Sellar in downtown Elizabeth City. With his song list chock full of sing-a-long 70s cover tunes, you'll be ready to get up and boogie early in the evening! Music starts at 7:00 pm and goes until 10(ish). Swing on by and enjoy an evening with friends. If you're new to town, I guarantee you'll make some new ones! Call 252-335-1163 for more information.

Slow down a bit this weekend with some bluesy jazz New Orleans style at The City Wine Sellar, Bakery, Deli & Wine Bar.
