Since I love the blues (duh!), about once a year I feel I
have to feature the music of my all time fav guitarist, Eric Clapton. No, he’s
not God, but I believe even God loves his music. From his early days with
the Yardbirds and Bluesbreakers to his solo
work, both electric and acoustic, he is like a bottle of fine French
Burgundy that just keeps getting better with age. The first numbers below are
electric while the last few are acoustic. All blues, what else would you expect
from the blues meister? Enjoy!

Can’t afford that fine French Burgundy that goes for more
than $500.00 a bottle on average, but I can recommend a really nice, affordable
2010 Casarena Cabernet Sauvignon from Mendoza. The wine is deep ruby color with
a bouquet of blackberries and dark chocolate. The taste is a mouthful of
blackberries and cassis with a hint of chocolate, mocha, and just a touch of
sweetness. It finishes long and spicy with smooth tannins. At $15.00 a bottle,
I don’t think you’ll find a better bargain. So uncork a bottle and hit the deck
to enjoy one of the premier blues guitarists of all time, Mr. Eric Clapton.
Cheers!
