Dating Game

We had a lot of fun last Wednesday night as The Dating Game came to Vino Bella!  Special thanks goes to Rick Rizzs, who did a great job as host, and the selected Bachelors and Bachelorettes who walked away with a Vino Bella gift card as well as the option to take their "date" across the street to Subway to split a foot long sub.  Thank you also to everyone who came out.  Join us for our next show on Wednesday, March 14!

 

This week, we feature Michael Gotz, Angelo Pizarro, and Funk E 3.  Get ready to dance, it's going to be a fantastic week of entertainment and fun! 

 

Our next wine tasting is with Tempest Sol and is scheduled for March 13 with Winemaker Gus White.  See the Wine Club and Tasting Events section for more information. 

 

Lastly, March's Comedy Night is scheduled for March 21st and tickets are currently on sale.  More information on the featured comics can be found in the Upcoming Special Events section.  Call 425-391-1424 for reservations.

 

Have a great week and I hope to see you soon.

This Week at Vino Bella

 

Thursday, March 1, 6:00pm - 10:00pm

Michael Gotz

 

 

Michael Gotz

Join us this Thursday night for a night of music with Michael Gotz!


Multi instrumentalist Michael Gotz plays improvisational jazz guitar with accompanying midi foot pedals to bring a unique style to his music.
 
Listening to Michael play, you will hear a passage of classical guitar, a latin rhythm, or a strangely familiar melody winding and shifting through moving improvisational passages.  The choices that Michael makes as a musician reflect the diverse range of his influences, having grown up loving the classical music that his mother played, spending countless hours listening to his sister's Beatles albums, and ultimately discovering the music of Miles Davis.
 
Throughout his career, Michael has performed many different genres of music; standard jazz, jazz fusion, reggae, country, rock, pop, and blues, however, jazz has been the continuing thread.
 
Don't miss this great evening of music this Thursday night!

Angelo Pizarro 

 

 

Angelo PizarroJoin us for an evening with Angelo Pizarro, as he performs Latin, pop, jazz styles featuring fiery, improvisational guitar. 
 
A guitar virtuoso and composer, Angelo writes and performs brilliant, improvisational acoustic and electric guitar music, mixing the traditional sounds of his Filipino heritage with the electrified funk and rock of his youth. In the past several years he has focused on the acoustic sound of the Spanish guitar, blending it into the mix and creating a beautiful eclectic style.
 
His self-produced debut CD Serendipity features original compositions, a balance between technique and creativity, speaking with instinctive clarity, communicating with sincerity the passions that stir in his soul.  Join us for a special evening of music with Angelo Pizarro!

Funk E 3

 

Funk E3Funk E3 is made up of three journeyman funk musicians who are as fun to watch and listen to as they are to dance to.
 
The trio, consisting of John Oliver on drums, James Clark on the bass, and Terry Davison on guitar, has a gigantic repertoire.  They play funk, soul, reggae, rock, disco and R&B with a style all their own.
 
Guaranteed to raise a smile and move your feet, Funque à Trois is always fun. The correct pronunciation of the band name is "funk eh twah" but they are just as happy if you call them "Funk E3"!  I hope you join us this Saturday night for Funk E3 at Vino Bella.

Our March Comedy Night is scheduled for Wednesday, March 21 with headliner Susan Rice and featuring Xung Lam and host Todd Armstrong!

 

Susan RiceFor over 28 years Susan Rice has been a 'chatterbox" for a living.


In 1983, Susan began her comedy journey on a small stage at the Leaky Roof Tavern. Her words, her story.  In 1986, Hollywood called and she packed her VW Super Beetle and off she went. While living in LA, she landed several comedy shows, all of which were national network shows.

 

In 1989, The King of Laugh-In George Schlatter sold ABC a stand up dominated comedy show called "George Schlatter's Comedy Club!"  It was Susan's first television credit and it would lead to others; Comedy Express on Fox, Comedy Club Reunion and the premiere week of "The Pat Sajak Show" on CBS, Rice then moved onto cable and did Evening at the Improv, Showtime Comedy on the Road and the Showtime Allstars show plus Comedy Centrals Stand Up Stand Up

Xung LamIt has been quite a ride for this "chatterbox" from Longview WA. Her career as an actress and a standup comic has spanned over 32 years. Her greatest feeling is the moment her audience recognizes her as someone familiar. "Its almost like a private joke between them and myself, it's wonderful." 
 

Our feature act, Xung Lam, is a veteran comedian whose set has been described as spotless and packed with jokes that run the gamut without leaving the audience behind.  We're also joined by host Todd Armstrong.

 

It's going to be a great night of comedy with Susan, Xung, and Todd. 

 

Call 425-391-1424 to reserve your tickets!
