CLUBBING

MGM adds Casino Bar to its lineup

S

OMEWHAT OVERshadowed in the hoopla of MGM Springfield’s one-year anniversary celebration was the opening of its new venue, Casino Bar, in the heart of the downtown Springfield resort’s gaming floor.

Located across from the property’s Main Street entrance, the new 1,450-square-foot bar features brews and craft cocktails, six large television screens and 22 video poker machines. The casino itself already has a few branded drinking spots, as well as a large bar in the center of the casino floor.

Casino Bar will also entertain guests during the biggest sporting events, before and after dining throughout the property, as well as concerts and events at MassMutual Center.

Casino Bar is open daily for guests 21 years of age and older.

Speaking of MGM, with football season right around the corner, TAP Sports Bar serves as the ultimate sports hub offering Springfield-inspired menu items ranging from TAP’s Hall of Fame Burger to wings and Reubens.

With the debut of the 100-ounce “Tap Towers,” beer aficionados can discover their new favorite brew from the vast selection on tap — including local brewery partners.

Offering more than 50 big screen TVs — including one massive video wall — TAP will enable visitors to cheer on their favorite sport teams all year long. Guests enjoy an open connection between the bar and dining areas with access to the adjoining arcade and bowling alley.

TAP Sports Bar will also host “Sunday Funday” every Sunday afternoon from 1 to 11 p.m. where guests can indulge in menu items such as 36-inch Big Sandwiches, The Holy Sheet Platter and a Bloody Mary Bar. For more information, visit mgmspringfield.com.

ORTHAMPTON’S Jamie Kent will get some prime time exposure this weekend when he opens for country legend Reba McEntire at Tanglewood.

The show is scheduled for Sunday at 3:30 p.m.

Tickets are available online through bso.org.

“I don’t know exactly what went down behind the scenes,” said Kent. “I just know I got a call this past week asking if I could jump on the show. Obviously I said yes, did a (probably awkward) celebratory dance with my wife, and then figured out how to make it happen.”

Kent was a star of the local music scene before relocating to Nashville.

The move has paid dividends as he has since been named an “Artist You Need to Know”

by Rollingstone. com and a JAMIE KENT “Must Watch Artist” by Huffington Post.

Kent says Nashville has found a way into his rock sound.

“Nashville unquestionably will make just about anyone fall in love with country music,” he said. “And it’ll find it’s way into your writing and performance, whether you know it or not.”

This isn’t Kent’s first goround at Tanglewood. In 2015 he was asked to open for Huey Lewis and the News and delivered a strong acoustic set for an appreciative crowd.

After his stint with Reba this weekend, Kent will be heading into the studio.

“I’m in the midst of recording a new EP with Aerosmith’s producer, the great Marti Frederiksen,” he said. “While country music will always have a heavy influence on

Stone Soul Festival rings in Labor Day weekend Live music, good food, camaraderie at Blunt Park

By Cori Urban

Special to The Republican

Good things lead to good things.

That’s how Jay Griffin, program chairman for the 2019 Stone Soul Festival, explains its success over the past 30 years. “Everybody loves a winner,” and that’s just what the festival is. “We have a lot of people and a lot of organizations that have decided this is worthwhile.”

Last year, 15,000 to 17,000 people attended the event that features blues performers, a gospel concert, carnival rides, an arts and crafts show, a tag sale, minority business wares, a Sunday service, a parade, “Springfield’s Got Talent” performances and the annual barbeque cook-off. There is also a job fair and representatives of social service agencies, health care providers and other community groups.

The Stone Soul Festival will take place at Blunt Park in Springfield tomorrow through Sunday.

hen thousands of fairgoers head to the annual Three County Fair starting tomorrow, many will be looking for the abundance of smash and crash motor sports that dot the event’s four-day calendar.

“They are wildly popular at our fair, especially the School Bus Demo Derby.

It’s controlled violence and destruction that brings the spectators in,” said James Przypek, general manager of the Three County Fair.

It all begins tomorrow with the Minivan Demo Derby and 4-6 Cylinder Derby, followed by the Demo Cross and School Bus Demo Derby on Saturday, Stock and Modified Lawn Mower Racing and 4-6-8 Cylinder Demo Derby on Sunday, ending on Monday with Light Truck/ SUV Demo and a return of the School Bus Demo Derby.

“We also have a new show this year called the Rhinestone Cowgirls Trick Horse Show, who have been on America’s Got Talent on television,” he added.

MONG THE MANY changes with which restaurant owners have had to cope over the past several years, one has proven subtle yet nonetheless profound. Offering delivery, it seems, is not an option anymore; it’s rapidly becoming a business necessity.

The role of delivery was a major theme at this spring’s National Restaurant Association Show 2019, with expert after expert discussing how on-line ordering, take out, and at-home delivery were disrupting the restaurant industry.

One recent study by L.E.K. Consulting, a Boston-based firm, projected restaurant delivery sales will grow at more than three times the rate of in-restaurant sales over the next four years.

In addition, the first eight months of 2019 have seen more and more major restaurant brands fully commit to delivery, many signing deals with third-party delivery services such as Grubhub, Uber Eats, and DoorDash.

Underscoring this dramatic shift to online ordering and delivery are some statistics on consumer behavior — 60% of U.S. consumers, for instance, order delivery or takeout weekly, with 63% agreeing that delivery is more convenient than going out for a meal.

Delivery isn’t just about pizza and “Chinese” anymore. Instead it seems poised to revolutionize the dining out industry in a way that will leave little in that business untouched.

6 California Chardonnay wines under $10 a bottle

W

ITH LABOR DAY just around the corner, I thought now would be a great time to highlight several, affordable American white wines perfect for the last few days of summer.

And before you write to me to explain that summer doesn’t officially end until Sept. 21, for many people like me, Labor Day weekend always feels like the end of summer.

Initially, I thought about highlighting several different types of white wines from across America. But that felt too broad.

So I decided to narrow my focus.

Instead, here are several California Chardonnays under $10 a bottle.

You can’t get much more American than California Chardonnays for under $10 a bottle.

Most Americans love a bargain.

More people live in California than any other state in the nation.

And at least 80% of all wine grown in the country comes from California, according to statistics compiled by Forbes Magazine last year.

Chardonnay is also hands down the most popular wine — red or white — in the United States. How popular?

$7.25 to $9.50 when steak is added.

The Big Chips & Salsa and additional guacamole we ordered were delivered to our table soon after we had queued up to the counter and ordered them.

Not ones to advocate for portion inflation, we were still surprised that Big meant the usual oval plastic open weave dish found in most Tex-Mex joints, but we un-

and flavors were also less pronounced and more subtle.

Overall, I found this wine to have a bit of an identity crisis.

At times, it was a bit too tart.

Other times, it seemed a bit too sweet. This chameleon-like wine would probably go well with different foods. But it wouldn’t be my first choice.

Ken Ross Wine Press

A total of 106,000 acres of Chardonnay grapes are grown nationwide for making wine. Second place belongs to Cabernet Sauvignon, a red wine grape that takes up 101,300 acres of vineyards in the U.S. As for the second place white wine in the United States, Pinot Gris doesn’t even come close to Chardonnay, with only 19,800 acres of vines nationwide.

And when it comes to California whites wines, Chardonnay completely blows away all other white wine varieties. In California, 93,400 acres are devoted to Chardonnay wine grapes, followed by 18,900 acres for French Colombard wine grapes.

But enough wine geek stats.

Let’s get to the wines. And please let me know what’s your favorite, affordable California Chardonnay.

derstood it to still be a deal for $2.75. The rugged corn chips were very lightly salted and took a back seat to the excellent dips. The salsa was mild and tomato forward but with subtle complexity we guessed to come from garlic, cilantro and cumin. The guacamole was of the no fuss, authentic style with creamy ripe avocado married with subtle hints of garlic, scallion and lime.

The Tortilla Soup we ordered to share was not the beef or chicken stock base enriched with cumin, chiles

Fans of fusion, we settled on the Thai Burrito Bowl with chicken. The large portion of mildly seasoned rice was topped with pico de gallo on one side and peanut sauce on the other in what played as a duel between tradition and innovation. The Asian side of the bowl was topped with a healthy portion of grilled chicken and a heavy

My spice-loving guest’s excitement over the Chorizo Burrito was unfortunately not to be rewarded. The core issue: no chorizo. If we are being totally accountable, the menu does say “Chorizo Burrito: seasoned beef and pork”. But the seed was planted: there would be chorizo.

And there was not. All in all,

2017 Fetzer Sundial Chardonnay: If you love crisp, drier, mineral-like white wines, this is the wine for you. Yes, there were still hints of the classic butter taste often associated with California Chardonnays. But the butter flavors were less pronounced the first day. Instead, sea salt, green apples and briny oysters were the dominant flavors.

The next day, those magnificent mineral-like flavors were still there, front and center. They were followed by sea salt and green apple, a beautiful combination for those of us who prefer our white wines on the drier, crisper side.

If you’re over 30, you might recall the expensive battle in 2006 between supermarkets and package stores where the supermarket chains wanted to do away with the threestore limit where they could sell liquor. The liquor stores persuaded voters to keep the limit in place, but by 2011, the

two sides avoided another legislated brawl by reaching a compromise that gradually raised the limit for supermarkets.

But Cumby’s isn’t a supermarket and wants a bigger slice of the pie. Right now, the convenience store chain has 200-plus stores in Massachusetts, but can only sell liquor in seven of them.

’VE NEVER BEEN A big amusement ride guy, but I do recall enjoying the rush of whooshing down the Eastern States Exposition’s famous big yellow slide when I was younger.

So those memories came to the fore when I heard of The Big E’s upcoming ESE Foundation “Sip & Slide” FUNd-raiser. The event will include craft beer, hors d’oeuvres, live music, special giveaways and more, including rides on the giant slide, all to benefit ESE’s youth agri-science programs. The event takes place on Sept.

5 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at The Big E’s Giant Slide.

Now, I’m not sure if drinking beer and going down that massive slide would set well with my stomach these days, but I’m sure as long as you don’t overindulge in either drink or food, it would be fine for most people.

Sounds fun, actually.

An array of beverages will be supplied by vendors such as Harpoon Brewing, Arctic Summer Seltzer and City Roots Cider. There will also be wine and soft drinks.

Food will include feta, cucumber, olive and tomato skewers, baby baked loaded potatoes, chicken and waffles with maple cream sauce, pulled pork sliders, and veggie pizza wedges, along with other offerings. Those with a sweet tooth can try some Big E Brittle, a special treat featuring popcorn and peanuts.

There will also be a photo booth and live music from Ric & Amy Acoustic. Sip & Slide guests will receive welcome bags with event drink tickets plus Big E swag, a Big E cream puff voucher and other surprises. Three Eastern States Exposition-themed baskets will be raffled off – an Ultimate Big E Basket, a Storrowton Sampler Basket and a Farmers Market Basket.

sea salt and green apple - to be a bit too much.

But the next day, those flavors did change quite a bit.

This time, the dominant flavor was green apple, followed by roasted butter and salt. I “liked” this wine better the second day but still didn’t love it. Then again, that’s just my personal taste.

2017 Gnarly Head Central Coast Chardonnay: My favorite wine of the tasting.

This crisp, dry, flinty white wine abounded with sea salt and bright, fresh, tart apple-like flavors straight out of the bottle. This is the wine you would love to have with oysters or a dry, sharp aged cheese.

The next day, those beautiful, bright mineral-like flavors were there again, mixed with a hint of sea salt. This wine was hands down the driest Chardonnay of the six reviewed this week and the best in my opinion. Highly recommend.

2017 Clos Du Bois California Chardonnay: This Jekyll and Hyde wine tasted dramatically different from one day to the next. Straight out the bottle, the wine’s strong butter and salt flavors were front and center and dominated the conversation like a loud house guest.

The next day, the wine had a much more green apple-like taste, mixed with hints of salt and butter. Here again, I found this combination to be a bit odd. It was like the wine was trying to please everyone, which is usually never a good idea when it comes to wine or frankly most things as well.

In my opinion, the best wines are the wines that play to their strengths and do it with panache and style.

Cheers!
