Rusty Grape Offers Friday Night Fun

Dinner, Music, Movie and Wine.

What’s your idea of a fun Friday night? Dinner and a movie? A little wine and music?  Hanging out in the backyard with friends? How about if you could combine all those things together? Well, that’s what the folks at Rusty Grape Vineyard have done; and you’re invited!

Start your evening with some wine tasting, then get ready for Marianne’s Open Mic Friday from 7 to 9 pm, or get up onstage yourself and sing a song or two. When the music is over, it’s time to settle in for this weeks movie on the lawn, Star Trek. Don’t forget to bring a sweatshirt or blanket, once the sun goes down, it can get a bit chilly!

Hungry? Visit the Rusty Grape’s own Patina’s Cucina for some artisan breads, spreads, cheeses, and even some imported and domestic beer. (Yes, beer, at a winery ). Also, Galeotti’s will be there grilling up some delish dishes (and the most awesome cheesecake ever!), or feel free to bring your own picnic or pizza with you.

The details: Rusty Grape Vineyard (16712 NE 219th St); Friday Night, August 27, 2010; Tasting Room opens at noon, Open Mic at 7pm, Movie at 9 pm. Wine Tasting, Music and Movie are complementary. Food and wine available for purchase.

13th Annual Vancouver Wine and Jazz Festival

Bravo! Vancouver.

Hot jazz, fabulous wines, fine art, and delicious cuisine…experience it all at the 13th Annual Vancouver Wine and Jazz Festival taking place in the heart of Vancouver, USA, Esther Short Park, on August 27,28, and 29, 2010.

This year’s Festival features a diverse lineup of American “jazz legends”—including blues, fusion, Cajun, straight ahead and contemporary bands. Local and regional jazz bands will also be performing, and the Festival’s Jazz Education Stage will also provide an opportunity for middle school and high school musicians to perform on the same venue as the Grammy winners. More than 20 bands will be featured throughout the weekend!

In addition to the music, the Festival features over 200 wines from around the world. Attendees can sample wines, or purchase a glass to sip while enjoying food from 9 restaurants. The cuisine ranges from Northwest to German, Lebanese and Italian fare. Art lovers can shop the 40 fine artists from California, Idaho, Washington & Oregon. “The Festival is a true arts festival, in that we present American jazz music, fine arts and crafts, premium wines and great food” says Dr. Michael Kissinger, Artistic Director. “Our goal is to create a rich cultural and artistic environment, a palate from which people can sample and hear great music, drink a nice Northwest wine, purchase a piece of art, and just immerse themselves in an arts-rich weekend.”

Bravo! Vancouver produces the Vancouver Wine and Jazz Festival which is “one of the most important jazz festivals on the west coast.” Advance discounted tickets are on sale now, but tickets will also be available at the gate.
