We were there last night to see Micky Dolenz. As always the food was great. We had the blended burger, which was amazing! Micky was a dream realized for this Monkees fan. He put on a great show, well worth the price of admission. All in all, I would rate the entire night five stars except for one thing (mostly beyond the City Winery's control). Unfortunately, we shared our table with four women who came in late, stood in front of us while deciding who would sit where, then proceeded to place their drink order without consideration or concern for those of us who were trying to enjoy the show. Then, when the wine steward delivered their wine, she, too, stood in front of us at the end of the table and blocked our view while presenting the bottle, uncorking it, presenting the cork, allowing for a taste test, then pouring the wine. Sadly, Micky was singing a personal favorite of mine during the wine episode. I literally would have paid to hear him sing just that song. Yet I missed it for a bottle of wine. I realize the fact that I enjoy neither the taste nor the feeling caused by alcohol precludes me from understanding the finer points of a good bottle of wine. But try to understand my point of view. Seeing a Monkee was like opening a rare bottle of Cabernet Sauvengon for me. However, as a whole, I truly love The City Winery. This was the first and only negative experience I've had there. And I must reiterate that I am well aware that most of it was out of control of the winery. I just wanted to share my experience in hopes of reminding others that their manners during live performances are deeply appreciated when used, and well noted when not.

I always love the Nashville Flea Market, even though it takes me days to recover! I can always count on a great selection of merchandise, great deals, and vendors who are friendly and helpful. Make sure you grab that item that grabs your heart when you see it, though! As a collector (sort of) of Madame Alexander dolls since I was a child, and a lover of Gone With The Wind, I walked away from a fantastic Scarlett doll, and she haunted me all night. I ran back over after church today, and she had already been sold. If you think something is a great deal, someone else will think so, too! The multitude of available items, from the brand new to cool antique finds, always kick my creative ideas into high gear, and I can't wait for the next flea market in a month. Recommendations? First, take the free shuttle up and down the hill from the parking lot. Even if you love being active, walking all day on concrete takes a toll. Be good to your body, and ride the shuttle. Next, bring a shopping basket that rolls. Even if you don't purchase much, letting the basket haul your handbag and/or purchases makes the day more comfortable. If you don't have one, buy one there! Next, have cash, and don't be afraid to ask for a better price. If not paying credit card fees, many sellers are more than willing to engage in some gentle, Southern-polite haggling. Let sellers who do NOT have what you want know what you are looking for. A gentleman manning a booth of honey, jellies, and tech items pointed me toward a building where I could find perfume. Most of all, don't be in a hurry, talk to strangers, and let yourself have fun! You'll be back next month, too!
