Tonight is the second installment of my Chicago Blues series
and the featured artists are Magic Slim, Mike Morgan & The Crawl, James Harman, Fenton
Robinson, Maria Muldaur, John Katke, John Studebaker & The Nighthawks, and Lonnie
Brooks. Brings back fond memories. So give a listen to some blues, Chicago
style.

If you finished the three-liter box of Octavin Pinot Grigio
I suggested on Monday, you probably don’t need any more wine this week. But in
case you took it easy, here’s a great Spanish wine to sip while you listen to
tonight’s installment of Chicago blues. The 2007 Bodegas Vina Magana Dignus ($19.00) is a blend
of 50% Tempranillo, 25% Merlot, and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon. Apparently their
Merlot vines are taken from cuttings shared by Chateau Petrus, whose wine, if
you’re an oenophile, you’ll know goes for about $2000/bottle. The wine is deep
purple with aromas of blackberries, coffee, and chocolate. The flavors are
dominated by blackberry and black cherry, a very full mouth feel. It’s a very nice choice for sipping along
with the blues.
Cheers!
