So, about 4 weeks ago I was in a field in Byers, Colorado (about 30 miles East of Denver) waiting for the Replacements to hit the stage. This is the story of that day and the music that was played by the Mats.Here’s the Setlist:1. “Takin a Ride”2…

2011 Honoro Vera Monastrell
Got a Spanish Red open and some Pigskin on the tele. Wishing I was in Chicago right now, as the Mats will be playing in a few short hours. Looking forward to news of that show and also to Denver where I will be seeing the Replacements live in just 6 short days!
The Red I have open tonight is a 2011 Honor Vera Monastrell from the Bodega Juan Gil Giminez winery in the Jumilla region of Spain. The Monastrell grape is better known as Mouvedre in France and is used typically in southern french blends for it’s dark red color and perfumed nose.
Monstrell (Mouvedre) on the Wiki —–> earthy notes
My impression of this one is very favorable, especially if it is allowed to open up with a bit of oxygen. The first glass I had last night was a bit closed and tart, but the last glass I am enjoying this afternoon is just wonderful – nicely scented nose and some great fruit and leather notes as it runs across the tongue. Not bad for a wine that you can snag yourself down at Trader Joes for less than 10 dollars.
Pulling Corks and Forks review —–> good fruit
Recently found a great app that I would like to recommend for all. It is called Delectable and I’ll put a link to where you can follow me on the app. My first “post” is about the Monastrell.

Drake’s Black Robusto Porter and Jeremy Porter’s Partner in Crime
Ya know, some things are just perfect together and the Porter that I have in my glass is going great with the Porter coming out of my speakers. Here’s a bit of more on both of those –
Drake’s Brewing Company Black Robusto Porter
From the Drake’s Brewing Website – “Drake’s Brewing Company is an urban craft brewery operating from the former powerhouse of a long-gone Caterpillar plant in San Leandro, California.” The brewery started in 1989 and has a nice selection of 10 year round beers and many seasonal brews. I’ve chosen a 22 oz. bottle of the Black Robusto Porter and here is the propaganda from the webiste
“Drake’s Black Robusto Porter is a deep, dark “Robust Porter,” a beer style known for being darker, fuller-bodied, and higher in alcohol by volume than a standard Brown Porter. Our Black Robusto goes down smoothly with flavors of bittersweet chocolate an slight roast from Crystal and Chocolate malt. A touch of spicy, herbal hop character from Willamette hops balance out the finish. Enjoy a pint with dark, lingering satisfaction.”
Upon pouring, you notice the dark as night color and the creamy tan three finger head. The first taste is of roasted malt, then a stream of coffee, chocolate and a bit of cherry materialize. Smooth as silk, very easy to drink and nice to see a dense web of lace left on the glass.
Jeremy Porter and the Tucos – Partner in Crime
Yes – a copy of Jeremy Porter’s new album can be yours. Jeremy was kind enough to send me a few copies to give to the kind listeners to the show. Listen to tomorrow’s show and about half way in, I’ll let you know how to secure a free copy of the album.
Now, I have played a few songs from the album already on the show, but I haven’t played my favorite from the album, the title track – Partner In Crime. A close second for me are the one-two punch of the first 2 songs – Castaways – Little Miss Awesome. This is one of those albums that I’ll be listening to months from now and my favorites will have evolved into a completely different direction, as the songs will have soaked into my conscious and revealed their power. So – get yourself a copy – from my little giveaway or directly from Jeremy at Jeremy Porter and the Tucos. If you are an iTtunes user, it is available there as well. If you are a Replacements fan – I would not hesitate, Yes – this is the Paul Westerberg solo album that you have been waiting for.

2010 Santa Rita Reserva Carmenere
It a bit dark and dreary out here on the left coast today, but I’ve got a nice bottle of Red Wine to boost the cheer. This bottle came all the way from Chile, courtesy of the Santa Rita Winery. This Reserva Carmenere is a fine example of the Varietal. Some nice layered dark fruit notes with just a hint of residual sugar that is bringing out the Vanilla and Caramel notes of the aging. Salute!
Here’s some propoganda from the Winery’s website —– Santa Rita
From the Wines of Chile website –
Carmenere hasn’t always gotten the respect it deserves, and it was a typically rebellious and misunderstood teenager, back when it was “rediscovered” mixed among the Merlot vines in the early 1990s, but as it turns out, this former diamond in the rough polishes up quite nicely and the world is coming to respect our very Chilean Carmenere.
