Speakeasy Big Daddy IPA

Greeting from California - it is a hot afternoon out here - close to 100 degrees and perfect for a brew.  Picked up a six pack of these last week and I'm down to my last one....   At 6.5% alcohol, this one is very hoppy and I can taste the alcohol burn.  Would like a bit more balance and I'm wondering if the sixer that I picked up was a bit long in the tooth.  This beer is just average and I was expecting more from this Speakasy Ales and Lager beer.  I'm sure I'll try some of their other offerings (the Payback Porter looks interesting), but there are many better American style IPAs out there.

The story on the 45?  It's from the Amoeba trip last weekend - Panic In Detroit is one of my favorite from the Thin White Duke and this UK reissue has a great picture sleeve.  It's siting in the A-7 slot of the Jukebox right now!

2010 Chateau Amour Bordeaux

It is a glorious sunny afternoon out here on the Left Coast.  Opened this bottle up on Friday night and had a glass - wasn't impressed.  After sitting a couple of days and opening up, the second glass is going down pretty well.  The wine is a 2010 Chateau Amour Bordeaux from the Medoc region of Southwest France.

The oxygen has liberated some of the aromas and I'm getting some fruit and tobacco from this wine that I thought a bit thin on Friday night.  Not worth a second purchase, as the very similar Chateau Haut Blaignon that I opened up last Mother's Day is a much better crafted wine from the region and a bit less expensive.

Trader Joe's Propoganda on the wine ----->  Fearless Flyer

Just JoeP review of the wine ------->  Just JoeP

Here's my review of the superior Blaignon ---- >  Chateau Haut Blaignon

A bit on the photo of the program for the Pinball Expo - spent most of Saturday at the show in Marin and had a blast - the morning was spent at Amoeba on the Haight digging in crates.   I pulled out a few colored 45's from the Estrus and Douchemaster labels, plus a couple of Rockabilly 45's that I've been looking for.  

Cheers!

21st Amendment Hop Crisis? Imperial Ale

It's a Hop Crisis!  At least that's what the folks over at the 21st Amendment Brewery want you to think.   Clever packaging and a freakin' killer Imperial Ale combine to make this one a repeat buy for me.  First impressions are the most important and this one gives you a nice 2 finger head with a cloudy golden haze that made me wonder what my taste buds have in store.  This one is 9.7 % Alc. with 94 IBUs and is aged on Oak Spirals.  What - Oak Spirals?   Come on - what kinda marketing is that?  Don't know if I can taste the oak (is this supposed to be a Chardonnay?), but the finished product is awesome - highly recommended.  Citrusy, Crisp, Malty and the alcohol is very well balanced.  My crisis now - I need to grab another 4-pack.

This one was a tenner for a 4 pack down at my local Beer Shoppe - well worth it!

Propoganda from 21st Amendment -->  Hop Crisis!

Pinhead Studios Upgrades

The Pinhead Studios are undergoing a major upgrade (a couple of 3 Terabyte drives), so no show this Sunday.  Never fear, I'll be back with the Saturday Night Live Tribute next Sunday.  Have a great week.

Cheers,

2008 Marr Cellars Cuvee Selena Grenache

OK - ya got me -  it's not a Sunday, it's a Monday.  Over here in the US, it is a holiday, so it sure feels like a Sunday.  But I do have a Red for today.  It's a 2008 Marr Cellars Selena Cuvee Grenache from a local producer.  Picked this one up ny neighborhood wine shop on a recommendation from the owner and I'm glad I did. Uncorked it about an hour ago to let it breathe a bit, as the subtle notes in Grenache need some time to develop.  Tasting the wine, I get some nice cherry and raspberry notes on the tongue with a light finish.  The alcohol sits at 13.8% and the color is a very light ruby.

Some Grenache background - Wiki

This wine should go well with the fruit based Soffritto I've prepared to top off some Pork Loin Spiedino that will hit the grill later.  See the recipe below (from the great website Cook the Book):

 In Italian, spiedino means 'little spit' and refers to meat grilled on skewers over an open fire. Today's Cook the Book recipe, excerpted from A16 Food + Wine , is for Pork Loin Spiedino with Pine Nut, Garlic, and Currant Soffritto. A soffritto is a combination of aromatic ingredients simmered in olive oil. It can be used as a simple flavor enhancer; a base for other recipes; or a sauce, as it is here.

About This Recipe

YIELD:

6 servings

Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless pork loin, cut into 1-inch cubes
• About 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1/2 cup dried currants
• 3/4 cup pine nuts
• 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 2/3 cup garlic cloves, minced
• 3 ounces arugula

Procedures

1. 1
   In a bowl, toss the pork with the salt. Cover and refrigerate for at least overnight or up to 3 days.
2. 2
   To make the soffritto, soak the currants in just enough warm water to cover for about 20 minutes.
3. 3
   Meanwhile, add the pine nuts and 1/2 cup of the olive oil to a small, heavy pot and place over low heat. Gradually bring to a low simmer, stirring frequently, and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes, or until the pine nuts have started to brown. Stir in the garlic and continue to cook on low heat for about 8 minutes, or until the garlic is a light golden brown. Watch the soffritto carefully; the pine nuts and garlic will burn easily. Drain the currants, add them to the pot, and then remove the pot from the heat. Let the soffritto cool to room temperature. It will keep, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.
4. 4
   About 30 minutes before cooking, remove the pork from the refrigerator. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water to cover to prevent them from scorching. Prepare a hot fire in a grill, stacking the coals to one side so you have two areas of heat, one with direct heat and one with indirect heat.
5. 5
   Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over the pork and toss evenly. Drain the skewers, and thread about 5 pieces of pork onto each skewer.
6. 6
   Place the skewers over the coals and grill for about 1 minute on each side, or until well seared. Move the skewers to the cooler side of the grill and continue to cook over indirect heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until cooked medium-well but still juicy.
7. 7
   Arrange a bed of arugula on a platter. Place the pork skewers on top. Drizzle some of the soffritto over the top of the pork and the arugula. Pass the remaining sauce at the table. Serve immediately.

A bit about the vinyl in the photo - got a great care package from Wood Shampoo records - digging into it now.

Cheers!
