| Pittsburgh Winery stage |
My blog inspiration book, Everything I Need to Know I Learned From A Little Golden Book, reminds us to, “be adventurous”. I felt adventurous when I tried, the Pittsburgh Winery, which is an urban winery located Pittsburgh's
strip district. Urban wineries do not
grow grapes but import them. Thus they have a variety
of grapes to make the wine. The
Pittsburgh Winery offers an opportunity to sample good wine, and hear national artists in an intimate setting.

Reflection
I was looking for someplace unique to entertain my friend from out of town. I was successful with the Pittsburgh Winery. Wine and music are always a good combination in my
book, but I really enjoyed the atmosphere
and the quality of the music at this place. Entering,
you proceed to the basement of an architecturally interesting old bank building. It opens into a softy lit room with
wine barrel tables, local art on the walls, and an intimate music
stage. You can bring your own food, (we brought sushi), get one of their
bottles of wine, and listen to good music.

We saw Mutlu. I had never heard of this singer but I took a chance when he was described as having a jazzy, bluesy, soulful sound. He could really reach the higher octaves when singing Prince's, "You Don't Have to Be Beautiful". Everyone was ready to "get caramelized" when he broke into the bluesy song, Caramel . The audience in unison rhythmically began to spell - C-A-R-A-M-E-L. It was so fun! (Don't miss Mutlu.He will be back in February).
It is easy to enjoy music
when the sound is, "up close and personal."
I felt like I was in a NYC or Chicago club, or should I say, what I imagine one would be like.
The Pittsburgh Winery is staying in my survival tool box for great atmosphere, good wine, pure fun, and the chance to explore an interesting musical line up. (Winery Line up).

Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don't be impressed with yourself. Don't compare your self to others (Galatians 6:4)
