Want some wine with your Rock&Roll?

5@5 – Steven Grubbs – Eatocracy - CNN.com Blogs


1. Buddy Holly, "Rave On" (1958) and Claude Riffault ‘Les Boucauds’ Sancerre (2009)
"This year everyone went nuts about the 2009's from Europe, and maybe no region on the continent is living up to it like France’s Loire Valley.

As soon you get your nose on the Riffault, you want to make Buddy’s opening noise of ‘WELL-HUH-HEH-UH-ELL." Opulent fruit with loads of minerals, too. Like the volume’s turned up to 12. And soon after, you boogie barefoot on Mom and Dad’s rug.

2. Booker T. & the MG’s, "Green Onions" (1962) and Reuscher-Haart’s Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Mosel Riesling (2009)
"You should fry some sweet onions and have them with Riesling. You really, really should. And when you do it you should wear sunglasses and be super-duper chill.

Maybe make some little shallot rings for your loved one on their birthday? And keep that Piesporter cool but not cold. No need for extremes, man, we’re just feeling."

3. Wilson Pickett, "I’m Down to My Last Heartbreak" (1963) and Robert Sinskey’s Los Carneros Pinot Noir (2008)
"After 'Sideways,' Pinot Noir supplanted Merlot as the easy thing to love, and somehow the side effect was that Pinot got big for its britches. It got cocky, alcohol levels strayed high and there was sweetness without commitment, perfume without personality, makeup without corresponding character.

But, Rob Sinskey makes wine with both slink and backbone. It promises not to do you wrong. It knows you’ve cried so many nights before. It knows you’re down to your last tears, down to one last heartbreak..."

4. Bo Diddley, "Bo Meets the Monster" (1958) and Charles Joguet’s ‘Clos de la Dioterie’ Chinon (2008)
"In this tune Bo claims, 'there was a one-eyed purple people eater lookin at me' - and that monster could be Joguet’s fat Cabernet Franc. The Dioterie vineyard has more heavy clay in it than most of Loire’s Chinon (which equals more weight and roundness in the wine), and it faces northwest (away from the ripening sun - they usually harvest it last).

The result is something unexpected, something grape-y from around the corner. It has muscle, but it has soft spots, too. So good it’s silly."

5. The Rolling Stones, "Under My Thumb" (1966) and Jean-Luc Joillot’s Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune (2008)
"Lean and clean. It’s the moment where you figured out Pinot from Burgundy, figured out what’s great about challenging wine. That it’s not about gushing, it’s about being streamlined and direct. About beating your addiction to baked fruit and coconut oak.

It’s about laying it in on rails, behind the beat, about cool menthol and sweet, sweet tone. You mastered the racing wild cheetah. And what was the key to everything? That there’s power in restraint."
