Starting now on Tuesdays I will bring you just a taste of what's going on around our area. Hopefully, it'll be something to entertain several of your senses and not just one or two! Also, by posting on Tuesday, this gives you plenty of time to prepare if this event is something you would enjoy doing!
Raffaldini Vineyards in Ronda, NC is hosting a very rare and exclusive event! The opportunity to sample wines from their cellar straight out of the barrel with winemaker Kiley Evans. This intimate, wine-focused event is limited to the first 36 Wine Club members to RSVP. The tickets are $20 and are available to Wine Club Members only. If you are a Wine Club member then you need to contact the Raffaldini Event Planner at 336-835-9463 or email eventplanning@raffaldini.com to RSVP. This exclusive tasting will run from 2-4PM on Saturday, March 17.
Well, that's great and all, but what if I'm not a Wine Club member? Well, sorry to say you missed out on this event, but that doesn't mean you have to miss out on future events. Not only does Raffaldini Vineyards already give value to their name; beautiful location, top-notch service, friendly and engaging owners and operators (all this is free which they give you automatically, customer or not!) but once you're a member of the Wine Club, your self value really increases because you are now one of the elite! Access to exclusive events, an invitation to their quarterly Four Seasons Wine Tasting Dinner, recipes, discounts, and oh yeah . . . THE WINE! Like to know more on how to proceed? Want your questions answered? Follow the path, my friend! ----> Raffaldini Wine Club.
Even if that's not what you really have an interest in, there's still plenty to enjoy! The sights, the sounds, and the smells are truly an assault to the senses. I personally have never been to the rural parts of Italy (I haven't been to Italy at all, rural or not!), but this is how I imagine it to be, and for those who have been to Italy or LIVED in Italy, I have heard responses of, "It was coming home again".
Do yourself a favor, instead of being bored or watching reruns of House or Law and Order, go and embrace some culture! You'll feel better if you do, and you'll be smarter than your friends (unless they decide to come with you, then they are smart as well!).

Entertainment: Caldwell Traditional Musicians Showcase
by Wendy Harmon on March 9th 2012 (9:40AM EST)
Posting this article on Entertainment today on Friday, but for future reference the Entertainment articles will be posted on Tuesday. This will give you plenty of time to plan or purchase tickets if you see something posted here that catches your interest.
Showcasing at the J.E. Broyhill Civic Center in Lenoir, the Caldwell Traditional Musicians Showcase is entering it's 14th year of presentation. For the last 13 years the Broyhill Civic Center has hosted this event to the delight of locals and musical patrons far and wide across the Carolinas. The civic center brings together some of our areas most talented musicians and singer/songwriters for an evening of homegrown entertainment! This is a wonderful event to attend in helping support local theaters and entertainers!
In fact, for the 14th year appearing at this Saturdays concert a community favorite will be performing, Strictly Clean and Decent. Strictly Clean and Decent is an acoustic trio which features Patrick Crouch, Ron Shuffler, and Kay Crouch whose blend of brilliant vocal harmonies tops a solid instrumental foundation. They are dedicated to performing a variety of musical styles in an acoustic setting. This group is so popular that since 1989 they have performed in Ireland 8 times! So if you're preparing for St. Patrick's Day which is next Saturday on the 17th, you might want to get your folk grove going on with this group this weekend!
