One of my favorite shows of the year…LIVE from Johnson’s Garden Center on East 13th here in Wichita for the Iron ChileHead Competition. The smell of roasting Hatch Green Chile, the sound of great beer drinking music, the aroma of fresh brewed craft beer, and the sound and smell of Wichita’s finest food trucks cooking, competing and feeding a happy crowd.
Join in the fun at Iron ChileHead on August 18, 2018 from Noon – 4 PM at Johnson’s Garden Center – 2707 W. 13th St. N. Each participating food truck and brewery creates menus and beers including Johnson’s roasted Hatch Green Chiles, which will be judged by local food and beer judges for the coveted Iron ChileHead trophy! Your vote counts in the People’s Choice Award, so come support your favorite local food truck and brewery!
All ages are welcome, and free to enjoy food trucks and live music presented by the party punk polka band – The Bolzen Beer Band from Lincoln, Nebraska. You can also pick up your own roasted Hatch Green Chiles at the event!

Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
NV Corse, Corsican Vermentino
From producer Dave Phinney’s Locations Series this 100% Vermentino from Corsica in the Mediterranean, South of France and North of Sardinia. All stainless fermented, no oak or Malolactic fermentation keeps this wine bright, fresh and crisp. Golden straw in color, the wine boasts fresh and engaging aromas of honeysuckle, lime zest, and orange blossom. Bright and lively upon entry, it leads to a textural mélange of Meyer lemon, almond, pear, and mountain herbs. There is a hint of wet stone that juxtaposes nicely with an ever-present vein of acidity that provides for a clean finish. www.locationswine.com Twitter & Facebook
Something to go with the complex flavor of mild Hatch Green Chile 🙂
