I’m going to do something a little different this week.
Since I’m from Chicago and was raised on the blues, I’m doing a multipart
series on Chicago blues starting with a video that includes the work of George Baze, Pistol Pete, Ron
Hytower, Lonnie Brooks, Hubert Sumlin, Junior Wells, James Harman, and Magic
Slim. I won’t give names, but I sat at the feet and played with a couple of the
guys you’ll hear this week. There’s a full hour of music each night, so kick
back, put on the video, and taste and see that Chicago blues is good!
You’re going to need
a lot of wine this week so I suggest getting a 3 liter box of Octavin’s Pinot
Evil Pinot Grigo. The wine is sourced from Hungary's Matra region, which lies
northwest of Budapest and just southeast of Hungary's famed Tokaj wine region. The
wine is pale yellow with a floral nose of tropical fruit and citrus. Crisp and refreshing with
typical peachy, citrus flavors and a slightly sweet finish, it’s an easy
drinking wine. It paired great with the butternut squash-black bean enchiladas
that I made for dinner and it’s light fruitiness is a perfect match for a long
session of Chicago blues.
Cheers!
