Fort Myers Resident Rickey Medlocke of Lynyrd Skynyrd Launches Hell House Whiskey

Author Joe Winner

Lynyrd Skynyrd just announced a new pairing of the band and a brand new whiskey. Hell House Whiskey.  Fort Myers resident Rickey Medlocke and fellow bandmate Johnny Van Zant proudly announced the release today. According to the release from Hell House “Hell House Whiskey seeks to embody the very essence of where it all began – the iconic Hell House cabin. This is where the band’s three original founding members, Ronnie Van Zant, Gary Rossington, and Allen Collins, alongside their bandmates, dedicated themselves day and night to create the legendary music that has resonated deeply with their multi-generational fan base.”

Johnny Van Zant states, “There’s nothing like getting out there, playing a great show with Skynyrd, seeing people love this music, and now being able to raise a glass of our very own Hell House Whiskey together. It’s a toast to the timeless spirit of rock and roll!”

Ready to get your hands on some? Hell House Whiskey will be available online at www.hellhousewhiskey.com with a suggested retail price of $49.99/750 ML.

Maybe Rickey Medlocke will bring some by the station?

Try a classic Lynyrd Skynyrd Cocktail

    Pour 2 oz whiskey into a collins glass almost filled with ice cubes. Add 4 oz orange soda and 4 oz orange juice, and stir. Garnish with an orange slice, and serve. Personally, I’d go with double the whiskey, but you do you.

 

10 Hot Spots For Chicken Wings In Fort Myers

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times.  There is a national holiday for just about everything nowadays.

According to National Day Calendar it’s time to honor the chicken wing because National Chicken Wing Day is on July 29th.

How fitting it falls on a Saturday this year.  I just wish we had some football to watch, to go along with the wings.

Anyway, with the day quickly approaching, I thought I’d find out where we can find the best chicken wings in Fort Myers.  So, I enlisted the help of the friendly folks over at Yelp!

As most of us know, Yelp uses customer reviews and ratings to determine their rankings in a given location.  While I do agree this list is full of some delicious wings, two of my favorites aren’t included and I refuse to leave them out.

Of course, Hooter’s is my number one!  I have yet to find wings I prefer over these breaded bites of joy, covered in the hot sauce, nothing is better.  And my second favorite, also not on the Yelp list, are the wings at Pott’s Sports Cafe, extra crispy, hot, to die for.

Enough about my favorites (although you should listen to me), here are 10 hot spots for chicken wings in Fort Myers.

Next up we can debate ranch vs blue cheese 😉
