January 4, 2012 - Wednesday Wine Tasting

It's wine tasting time! Every first Wednesday of each month we gather at City Wine and sample a few wines, nosh on a little food, gab with old friends, make new friends, and just have a responsibly fun time. Join us, won't you? You don't have to know a lot about wine. In fact, you don't have to know anything about wine. We sample a selection of 3 whites and 3 reds, and provide you with printed tasting notes. There's no pressure to buy anything. Just come and enjoy.
Tasting time is 6:00-7:30 pm (we usually go a little later than that). It's floating, so you don't have to arrive exactly at 6:00; however, arrive early enough to sample the wines without rushing. Cost is $15 per person and includes wine, appetizers, printed tasting notes, discounts on the wines and great socializing. RSVP not required, but requested (so we know how much food to prepare). Call 252-335-1163 for more info. or to RSVP

December 30, 2011 -- Deacon and Catdaddy of Uphill

If you are familiar with the band Uphill, you'll certainly recognize the names Adam Nixon and Chris Palestrant, two of its talented bandmembers. They have each performed separately here at City Wine Sellar before, but now, for the first time ever, they will perform as a duo named "Deacon and Catdaddy of Uphill." Come for a few of your favorite songs from each of their solo acts, a bunch of new music, and even a few Uphill hits -- all with vocal harmonies and brand new arrangements. So, if you enjoy the folksy-blues counry eclectic mix of Deacon Blues and if you enjoy the rare, kickin' and classics of Chris Palestrant, you'll be in for a treat with the combination of these two quality acts. Deacon and Catdaddy will perform from 7-10 pm as part of the City Wine Friday night music series. They will also play from 5-7 on the same evening during the Bill Luton for NC House fundraising event. Stop by early and meet Bill, listen to music, and visit.
