Fritz is also the leader of the Denton group Uver who you might have heard at Twilight tunes or the studio. Starting at 8:30 is the rock steady Purl Snap Shirts perform. Members Joe Stack and Garrett Phelps describe themselves as musicians who are “guitar playing, lyric singing; born to the wolves, and raised among the various communities of Denton, Texas.” Many of the artists have new work on display as we move into the fall season. Art demonstrations and a fall themed community art painting will be also taking place at the studio. Grab a friend and come join the fun.

This group features a variety of styles of music including the American Old Time tradition as well as Irish, Scottish and English folk dance music. Their performance will include a mix of Old Standards (that is to say jazz from the early to mid 20th century), Latin American jazz tunes of various sorts, Balkan and Slavic tunes and a handful of original tunes that might lean heavily on all of the above.

This month Daren Fagan, metal artist, and Tina Alvarez, photographer and painter will be on hand to demonstrate art techniques. Daren has planned a make and take using metal. Bailey Parrish, the dollar a minute sketch artist will be on hand to do sketch portraits. You can also join in the creating of the community painting. Grab a friend and come join the fun.

Vigne News For July 2014

From John Ryan at Vigne:

vigne wine shop denton texasBecause the 4th is on a Friday this year we are pushing the wine club wine tasting to next weekend, the 10th -12th . This evening andSaturday, from 6:00-8:00pm our wine tasting has been selected especially for the holiday weekend. For just $8 you can taste Arche, Ryan’s RED, a WHITE from Airlie, BLUE moon riesling plusCANNONBALL!!!

These wines will also be available as a flight until close on Saturday for $11

Street and Parking lot reconstruction will continue through December. This week they have shut down the parking lot closest to Wells Fargo. As an alternative the city has striped the lot by the old tax office between Oak and McKinney by Oakland St. This lot is only 1-1/2 blocks from Vigne and generally does not fill up until late in the evening.

We have made several changes to our “by the glass” list, several new ports and our First Class Flight is now three great Cabernets.

When Hoochie’s opens (mid-July) they will be an addition to our list of local restaurants that deliver to Vigne. Currently Andaman, Mellow Mushroom and Rusty Taco deliver. Gold Mine BBQ has minimum order to delivery. We also have menus from Queenie’s and Rooster’s both of whom currently only do “pickup” orders, but we are working on them.

Be sure and like us on Facebook. We post our weekend tastings on Facebook ever week but try to limit ourselves to not more than two emails a month.

 The basics:

With 29 wines and ports available by the glass (33-35 Thursday through Saturday) and 8 to 10 wine and port flights, we have something for everyone’s taste, and ranging from $4 to $22 something for everyone’s pocketbook. For the beer drinkers in your group we have 4 on tap and 7 bottle selections.

Our “Last Bottle Sale”, discounts 20-50% off, has sold out but we will be picking several selections to start it back up next week.

Every day we feature a “Wine of the day” which is happy hour price all day.
