February 4, 2009 -- Red Hot Wine Tasting

The color red is dynamic, on the color palette and in our lives. It represents love, warmth, and comfort as well as passion, excitement, and intensity. It signifies danger, yet portrays a strong sense of confidence. Artists dab it into or splash it on their creative works to express infinite emotions and meanings. Red is a powerful hue that elicits deep and dramatic feelings in the color spectrum of our souls.
That’s why we chose Red as our theme for this month’s tasting. That, and the oh-so obvious “Red” connection with the month of February – the Month of Looooovvve and American Heart Month. Don’t fear, my wonderful white wine lovers. We will not be limiting our selection to only red wines. We will taste wines with “red” as part of their names.
So, make February 4th a Red Letter Day in your life by joining us at The City Wine Sellar for our monthly wine tasting. Sipping, snacks, and socializing from 6-7:30 pm. Dress the part--wear a red dress, red hat, red lipstick, red tie, red socks, red undies...whatever puts you in the red-hot mood! Cost is $15 per person. RSVP is requested. 252-335-1163 or d_malenfant@yahoo.com.
Our guest pourers for February will be red-rose-lovely Lisa Winslow and Mary Temple from the Arts of the Albemarle.

October 31, 2008 -- Karaoke with Kathi Hartzell

It could get a little frightening this Friday night, with an evening of karaoke at The City Wine Sellar!  Showcase your goulish talent (or lack thereof) with friends and guests cheering you on. 
The rules of a (fun) karaoke night -- be bold, go forth alone or in large groups, pick cheesy dance songs, pay attention to the monitor, ALWAYS hail the performer, and HAVE FUN!  The best karaoke is when it's not necessarily the best karaoke. You know what I mean.  
Don't fret, however.  Even if no one has Karaoke Kahonas, there will still be entertainment. Kathi Hartzell, our Karaoke Kween for the evening, will showcase her professional singing talent for your enjoyment.  Just remember...
"On Halloween the thing you must do
Is pretend that nothing can frighten you
And if somethin' scares you and you want to run
Just let on like it's Halloween fun." (Author Unknown)
Entertainment 7-10 pm; Deli and Cuezzo's Cafe open till 9 pm. Call 252-335-1163 fmi.
