Here’s a couple recent songs posted and their pairings:
“Goin’ Out West” by Tom Waits
Pairs with: a slug of Rye
You ever have a slug of Rye? It’s real easy to make. You take some Rye, you pour it over some ice, and you get everything else the hell out of its way.
“Goin’ Out West” hits like a buckshot, with a venomous bite that would make a rattlesnake shake. It’s lyrics are bold and Waits’ voice is loud and rough– just like a good Rye Whiskey.
Keep the devil on a leash.
Pairs with: New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc (from Marlborough)
This song is built around light citrusy guitar licks, and tangy notes of wild abandon. There is no other wine to drink to this song but a Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough New Zealand. In fact, Sauvignon Blanc would like to dedicate this song to it’s long time “Mr. Shankly,” Chardonnay. NZ Sauvignon Blanc is willing to do whatever it takes to “go down in (wine drinking) history.” It is now so popular it has even influenced some of those stalwarts of tradition in France, specifically in the Loire Valley, to create more modern expressions of the grape.
