Acoustic Blues Mix &Chateau Panchille Bordeaux Superior

Hump day’s past and I’ve got some tasty acoustic blues to help you get through the rest of the week. These are some, but not nearly all of my favorite artists. If you like pure acoustic guitar blues, you’re gonna love this set. Downhill to the weekend!

With this kind of music, we need a robust red, so I suggest a 2009 Chateau Panchille Bordeaux Superior. The wine is inky purple in the glass with ruby highlights as you swirl the glass and hold it up to the light. Let it breath for two hours and you’ll be rewarded with explosive red and black fruit aromas, complimented by a bit of dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is a wonderfully concentrated mixture of black fruit and cocoa, echoing the nose. The tannins are velvety smooth and give rise to a long-lived finish. Great night to fire up the deck fire pit, watch the moon and stars, and enjoy some of the best acoustic blues guitarists out there.

Cheers!
