...a very unique jazz supper club in old san juan!

Pianist Carli Munoz grew up in Puerto Rico but at an early age covered a lot of ground musically and geographically. In 1969, he went to Los Angeles on a weekend visit and ended up doing studio work and tours with a variety of artists, such as Wilson Pickett, The Association, Jan and Dean, and the Beach Boys (for 11 years). Eventually Munoz was able to work with artists whose vision was closer to his own: George Benson, Chico Hamilton, Les McCann and Charles Lloyd. in December 1998, he opened his own jazz supper club, Carli Cafe Concierto in Old San Juan where you can enjoy gourmet tapas and exotic martinis under the stars - with a breathtaking view of San Juan Bay from the open terrace.

at that point in time - it was all about the dollar wine

winin’ (as in to wine) is a west indian style of dancing - ˜woman in front and man behind“ right up behind moving bumsy to, well, whatever you choose to call it. soca and calypso rhythms are danced to with a “one step” side to side hip sway. no bouncy, bouncy stuff here - move your hips and waist in a “winding” motion, hence the name. Here’s some well-noted wines I found in the bwia in-flight magazine, caribbean beat - check out the "dollar wine"! let's just say that mr. c led the conga line around the pool each afternoon after climbing out of the coconut tree...smiles!

Wine up: to wine vigorously

Wine down: to wine while lowering the bottom to the ground in a squat

Wine around: to wine in a circular motion, or to move around while wining

Tief a wine: to creep up behind or in front of someone and wine on them surreptitiously

Take a wine: to boldly do same

Give (someone) a wine: to allow someone to wine on you; a pity wine

Wine back: to actively participate in a wine initiated by someone else

Wine to (music): self-explanatory

Small wine: a short wine

Hard wine: a particularly vigorous wine, usually on someone

Slow wine: a wine to a slow song, or on every other beat

Sweet wine: a wine that feels good, arousing

Dutty wine: a wine with bad intentions, a true jamette wine, uninhibitedly sexual
Rough wine: wining fast and hard, usually with someone

Social wine: a polite, non-sexual wine, done by someone who either can’t wine well or who wants people to think they’re too high-class to wine well

Stiff wine: an awkward wine lacking the fluidity of spine that characterizes a fine wine

Tourist wine: the half-a-beat-out-of-time and amateurish wine practiced by tourists who don’t know the art

Dollar wine (after Colin Lucas’s 1991 hit “Dollar”): to wine from left to right, then back to front. The song lyric invites you to put a one-cent piece in your left pocket, five-cent in your right, ten-cent in your back pocket, and a dollar in front under your belt; then you thrust your hips in the following pattern: cent, five-cent, ten-cent, dollar

Wine in time: correct wining, done to the dominant beat of the music

Wine out of time: incorrect wining, done to the offbeat or no beat at all

Walk and wine: in a display of sauciness or impertinence, or overt sexuality, a woman (or man, usually gay) may walk while shaking her bottom

Wine on (someone): to wine against someone, either facing them or from behind

Wine in (someone’s) face: metaphorical. To trounce, to lord it over someone

Wine off (one’s something): to wine so hard that something surely must be broken

Just a wine: Though a wine could mean more, sometimes it is just dancing and nothing else.


alas, however, the time has come to leave barbados...

...but in 13 days, i'll be in...
