Having to post this a little earlier than usual as I will be on the road. Look below for the April 13 show.
This week I’ll be talking to Chef Nathan Lippy the Blackstone Customer Support, Marketing Guru and the famous Blackstone Griddle demo Chef. I have always enjoyed “Plancha’ style griddle cooking, first in Spain, later with my classy EVO gas cooker. For several weeks now I have been back to griddle cooking on my new Blackstone 36″ griddle. I like it so much I have given two of these to close relatives and built a LIVE auction package that included a 36” griddle and a South American Asado demo dinner with wine. 🙂 Follow Nathan on Twitter.

Before Blackstone became the brand that thousands trust, our founders had a vision. A love for food, family, friends, and the great outdoors gave rise to an idea. www.blackstoneproducts.com
With a dedication to excellence and culinary greatness, that vision became a reality in 2005 with our cornerstone product, the 36” Blackstone Griddle. Since 2005 we have grown considerably both in our product line and our expertise in this amazing world of griddle cooking.
We have partnered with pro chefs, backyard masters and the everyday home-cook to craft a product that meets our highest standards. Our products are designed and engineered in the USA with the latest technology and innovation, but we are more than just another outdoor cooking appliance company. Our main focus is on our consumers and designing quality products that yield the best results.
This is a great year round outdoor cooking appliance that is well built and fun to cook with. We’ll tell you all about it on Saturday April 20th!

Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
2016 Cline Ancient Vines Zinfandel from Contra Costa County California
The 2016 Ancient Vines Zinfandel draws primarily from a wide selection of our oldest, most historic and shyest-bearing Zinfandel blocks in Contra Costa County which make up 94% of this blend. These ancient, dry-farmed vineyards consistently produce fruit of stunning concentration. Lively and supple, with floral raspberry and fresh pepper aromas and sleekly appealing cherry and licorice flavors that glide lightly along the finish.
Wine Spectator 91
The 2016 Ancient Vines Zinfandel shows spicy, bright strawberry, with coffee and chocolate characters. Ripe fruit and soft tannins make this a mouth-coating rich vintage. Aging on new and used oak has lent this wine a subtle vanilla quality that nicely complements the explosive fruit notes. Enjoy now or cellar for 5 to 7 years. #40 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2018
