 The blues release David Jacobs-Strain: Geneseo is a work of art that begins with the packaging, and continues when you unfold the paper case, and find the beautifully printed CD and a small poster inside reminiscent of 70s albums where one looked forward to discovering each nuance. The experience continues with blues slide guitarist David Jacobs-Strain's rich vocals, poetic lyrics, and an impressive group of talented musicians. This release deserves a coveted spot in your music cache and repeated listening.

 BarSol Pisco Selecto Acholado is an award-winning pisco from Peru distilled from the best selection of three pisco grape varietals: Quebranta, Italia, and Torontel. The result is heady and aromatic with a long, lingering, elegant finish.

 The Redding Roadhouse located in Redding, Connecticut is a picture-postcard perfect restaurant and tavern with lots of New England charm. Long established as a local favorite, new owners since July 2012, Chef Wirt Cook, his wife, Karen Cook, his sister Colleen Cook and husband, Ted Stonbely, have given the restaurant, and the menu, a slight facelift, and have retained the live music Thursday through Saturday. The result is a delicious balance of adventurous and comfort food on the menu, where you can experience formal dining, come with children, or have a casual bite and listen to music in the bar. Excellent cuisine, attentive service, and welcoming ambience make this restaurant worth the drive to Connecticut.

 BarSol Pisco Primero Quebranta is an award-winning pisco from Peru, so take a sip and drink in Peruvian tradition, culture, and history. Pisco, the oldest brandy produced in the Americas, became popular in the United States during the California Gold Rush days from 1849, and continued until a little thing called Prohibition came along. With the growing trend in all things Latin, pisco proves its versatility beyond the Pisco Punch and the Pisco Sour.
