Butt Dialing: I hate taking selfies. I know all of you out there love them. But basically there’s something wrong with my body. My arms are too short and my face is too fat. So I end up only with a closeup of my nose. So if I want a photo of myself eating crab cakes at a local restaurant I get the waiter to take it.

But my friend Charlie had a recent selfie emergency that turned crazy. He woke up one morning and discovered there was something wrong with his rear-end. I’ll spare you the details.

Anyway, he called his doctor and described the problem. The doctor listened patiently and said: Why don’t you just send me a photo of it. So he did. Of course he had to lie on the floor and try to stick his head between his legs. Finally he sent it off to the doc, who said everything looked OK. That should have been the end of it.

But no, it wasn’t. Over the next week, Charlie accidentally sent copies of the photo to more than a dozen friends and acquaintances. His boss got a tush shot over breakfast one morning. The next door neighbor got one. And even his bank manager got one.

And of course he sent one to me. It was one of the most horrible things I’ve seen in my life.

I tell you if my doctor wants a photo of my rear end.... I’ll get the waiter to take it.

A grade school teacher in Kentucky asked her students to use the word “fascinate” in a sentence. Molly put up her hand and said, “My family went to my granddad’s farm, and we all saw his pet sheep. It was fascinating.” The teacher said, “That was good, but I wanted you to use the word “fascinate, not fascinating”.

Sally raised her hand. She said, “My family went to see Rock City and I was fascinated.” The teacher said, “Well,

20

that was good Sally, but I wanted you to use the word “fascinate, not fascinated.”

Little Johnny raised his hand. The teacher hesitated because she had been burned by Little Johnny before. She finally decided there was no way he could damage the word “fascinate”, so she called on him.

Johnny said, “My Aunt Gina has a sweater with ten buttons, but her boobs are so big she can only fasten eight.”

Special Delivery: I published the first Rivertown way back in September 2000.

My best friend Kevin and I worked on it for about two months in my attic.

Next month will be the eighteenth anniversary. A lot has changed. The first issue was only about Nyack. Now it covers the whole county.

I couldn’t afford anyone to deliver the magazines, so I did it myself. It took me all day. But I had something to look forward to. I made sure that my delivery run always ended up at a local bar, where I’d stop and have two or four refreshers.

Now I have a professional delivery service. They deliver more than 17,000 copies every month. So far as I know they don’t stop for drinks.

Because they had no reservations at a busy restaurant, my elderly neighbor and his wife were told there would be a 45 minute wait for a table.

“Young man, we’re both 90 years old,” the husband said. “We may not have 45 minutes.”

They were seated immediately.

Dear Candice I have two grandchildren who are 6 and 8 years old. They visit once a month and sleep over. The problem is I have only one guest room that I also use as an office as well as well as for adult guests.

I need to have two twin beds that are comfortable. I need storage space of some type for clothes. Also, a desk would be helpful.

Right now I have an old sofa bed and other odd pieces of furniture I want to replace everything. So I need suggestions for the window covering. The only thing that has to stay is the carpet which is about two years old and is a a neutral beige, The room is a good size about 11’ x 10” I like a clean contemporary look and want some pretty blue accents.

I have a very limited budget, is any of this possible?

Thank you and I appreciate any advice you can give me. I have been reading your column for years and always learn from your suggestions. - Dianne from Haverstraw Dear Dianne, Not only is this possible but we can accomplish all for under $2500.00.

Here we go. As you said you are replacing everything but the carpet.

When working on a budget remember it is not about the price of the furniture or accessories but how you put it together, First purchase two comfortable twin beds. Place them on your largest wall and separate them with a white dresser about 36” wide from IKEA. Leave the top drawer empty for overnight guests IKEA.s furniture is affordable, attractive serviceable, simple and I suggest their products often.

Add photos of your grandchildren framed in chrome on top of the dresser. Add a a

This look creates a division between the beds, adds storage and adeequate amount of light.

The bedding should be white quilts with white tailored dust ruffles. Instead of headboards use white shams to match quilt. Place your sleeping pillow behind the white shams.

To bring in your blue add two toss pillows to each bed. They can be any print you like or one with sayings. Something fun for your grandchildren. These can be purchased anywhere. Home Goods, Bed Bath and Beyond offer affordable great looks.

Above each bed hang artwork bringing in your colors. . The size should be about 24 inches wide x 36 inches high. This look creates a headboard look without the expense and adds color and interest to the room.

dresser and place it flat against the wall.

This desk can be up to 36” wide, add a lamp in white. Purchase a lucite chair on casters. Above the desk add a mirror so it can be used for guests for their overnight use.

The mirror frame should have a chrome finish to coordinate with casters of the chair. Add a white waste basket. Also on top of the desk have an attractive basket to hold your personal items that can be easily be put away when company comes.

Paint the walls Benjamin Moore flat Decorator White 01. This will keep the room crisp and clean looking and goes well with the carpet.

For the windows purchase 2” wood or faux wood blinds for the windows.

Once completed, you will have your clean, contemporary guest room/ office which will be fabulous looking and to enjoy for years to come.

Have fun and let me know how you did.

Maximize your qualified business income deduction Here we are in August already! Small business owners should already have a plan in place to maximize their 2018 Qualified Business Income (QBI) and, more importantly, their 2018 Qualified Business Income Deduction (QBID).

When I discussed this new tax benefit in my column back in March many of us were still preoccupied with 2017 taxes and likely not thinking much about this new 2018 “huge” tax benefit for small business owners. Well, there are still 4 – 5 months left in 2018. It certainly is not too late to consider how to maximize your tax savings.

Let’s take another look at this new tax deduction for business owners. Individuals who are sole proprietors, partners, members in LLCs, or shareholders of S corporations, may be eligible to claim a QBID beginning with the 2018 tax year. This includes owners of rental real estate. The amount of the deduction is generally 20 percent of the taxpayer’s qualifying business income from a qualified trade or business.

Example: In 2018, Joe’s has earned $100,000 QBI from his business. Joe’s QBI deduction for 2018 is $20,000. Joe will take this deduction on his 2018 personal tax return. Tax will be due on the remaining $80,000. This deduction will likely save Joe anywhere from $200 $7,400 depending upon his tax bracket.

Most of us are now thinking that this

26

benefit, like most sneaky IRS tax benefits, will not be available if their income exceeds some ridiculously low threshold, or will be lost due to alternative minimum tax (AMT). Well, for most taxpayers this is not the case. Income phase out thresholds are quite high and do not even apply to many small businesses. Also, the QBID is allowed for AMT. With some careful planning most small business owners will be able to benefit. Lets take a look at the restrictions: • This deduction does not apply to wages or partnership guaranteed payments. Planning to minimize this type of compensation will likely maximize your QBID. • This deduction is subject to a phase out for most professional service businesses like Doctors, Lawyers, and Accountants. These phase outs do not start to kick in until taxable income exceeds $157,500 for singles and $315,000 for married filers. With proper planning taxable income can be reduced so to possibly fall under these thresholds.

• The QBID for other small business owners who have taxable income in excess of the above thresholds is limited to the greater of 50% of wages or 25% of wages plus 2.5% of qualified property.

This is a tricky one. Advance planning is needed so to maximize your allowable QBID. • The QBID is limited to 20% of the business owner’s total taxable income (from all sources) if that amount is less than the QBID. Low taxable income may result in a lost QBID. Planning is

needed.

• This deduction is not available for rental income that does not rise to the level of a trade or business. Confirming that your rental property does rise to the level of a trade or business is crucial.

• Your choice of business entity (sole proprietor, partnership, corporation) will impact the amount of QBI available for the deduction. A change of business entity should be considered.

• Entities with losses must be offset against entities with income before a QBID is calculated. Net losses must be carried forward to future years and applied against future QBI. Planning for business losses is a must.

• Most states have not committed to following the new federal tax rules.

State tax planning must be coordinated with federal tax planning.

Small business owners should ask their CPA to review their 2018 and future year tax status now so to be sure to maximize each owner’s QBID and overall tax savings. Your CPA can assist you to navigate the law and to implement a strategy that will help you to get a full 20% reduction of your business income tax bill.

This brief summary of the tax reform act is provided for your information. Any major financial decisions or tax-planning activities in light of this new legislation should be considered with the advice of your CPA. He can help you determine how the new law affects you.

Question #1: We are not familiar with much of Rockland County and having been searching the websites and have seen a few houses we like - but are totally confused that when we click on a house we see different agent names.

We would like to work with the agent listing the house because we feel they know the home and area the best but after pulling up the listing, we are not getting the actual listing agent, how can we be sure who is who?

Answer: When you inquire through the internet or have a one on one conversation with an agent the first question you should ask is “Are you the listing agent?” It is your choice who you would like to work with. I don’t agree 100% with just working with the listing agent. What I think I would do,

if I was you, is work with an agent that is familiar with the towns you are interested in.

My Tip For August: to both buy-

ers and sellers is don’t take time off because it is summer and you want to go to the beach. This is The Ideal Time to list or buy a house.

Dana Pest Control has the no-chemical, no-poison answer to your mosquito and tick problem Story: Tom Riley Richard Effeldana told us: “I’ve been in this business for 37 years and my dad started Dana Pest Control 55 years ago.

“I can tell you there has been a tremendous increase in calls for mosquito and tick control this summer. It’s probably because we have the most experience in pest control in the Hudson Valley.

“Our Mosquito Barrier is a very strong liquid garlic made from very potent garlic cloves. The garlic used is more potent than the garlic found in grocery stores.

“Garlic has a natural sulfur which repels mosquitoes and ticks. Spraying garlic to keep insects away is not something new.

Farmers and master gardeners have been doing it for many generations.

“Now Mosquito Barrier is America’s premier mosquito repellent for grassy areas; yards, parks, athletic fields and golf courses.”

Richard Effeldana is owner of Dana Pest Control and Dana Pest Management located at 272 North Liberty Drive in Tompkin’s Cove.

“Just one spraying by our staff of the all natural, liquid garlic-based Mosquito Barrier will keep mosquitoes and ticks out of your yard and away from your home, 24 hours a day for nearly a month.”

Richard added: “Are you having an outdoor special event and you need immediate help in eliminating mosquitoes

You never know who you’ll see dining at the Sparkill Steakhouse

Story/Photos: Tom Riley Steak lovers throughout the Tri-State area are sometimes surprised when they dine at the Sparkill Steakhouse and see celebrities like boxing great Vladimer Klitcho and famed lawyer Mark Saperstein dining at the table near them.

You never know who you’ll see at the famed Steakhouse. Invariably they are ordering Sparkill Steakhouse’s famous Prime Tomahawk Rib Eye Steak for Two. Carlo Cungu, co-owner with Sal Derguti of the landmark restaurant says, “It’s been our best year ever because we are having more parties and weddings upstairs and more corporate parties in the Wine Cellar. ‘“We get many requests for holiday parties, Bar Mitzvahs, Christenings, graduation parties, anniversaries and birthday parties.

Adirondack inspired log cabin avails nature’s bounty

By Amie Butchko “Rustic, Beautiful, Strong.” Realtor Robert Sassi of William Raveis Baer and McIntosh describes this jaw-dropping A-frame log cabin which sits atop the mountains on 50 plus private and wooded acres with jaw-dropping views of New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.

Close to the river rafting of the Delaware, hiking and fishing, yet only miles from the wineries, breweries, farm to table cuisine, shopping, arts and culture that all the Hudson Valley has to offers is a private hunting wildlife-dense 50-acre property with clearings and manicured landscapes worthy of hosting events from fresh air quad riding weekends to multi-family gatherings to fox hunts to campfire vanities to even outdoor weddings!

One man’s vision procured from an immense former colonial farmhouse, a tongue and groove many-gabled log cabin that showcases, from exterior view, stunning stonework, oversized rustic beams and triangular and arched windows creating an enormous hunts-

46

man retreat worthy of the most discerning nature lover; yet accessible for anyone who might just want to capture that lifestyle without, perhaps, all the know-how, or laborious maintenance in keeping it pristine!

Although rustic and authentically huntsmanesque, this home marinates in modern amenity. While many a

husband might seek his cabin in the woods, so too might a wife delight in the colonial more traditional details of the original home, flowing seamlessly from the front room into an old-world manor style layout that provides every necessary space for whatever life may throw into the mix of gathering.

In this amazing 2 story soar-

ing-height room with peaked exposed beams and pine worked ceilings, one is in awe while taking in the austere beauty drenching this sun-filled room, skying 1,461 feet above sea level.

With an entire wall of glass overlooking miles and miles of the mountainous hills and towns below, this private nature view rivals the massive floor to ceiling stone-worked wood burning

fireplace.

Yet, it is leisure that overwhelmingly settles throughout this nature-set haven. It is the outdoors that call. A wonderful, immense yard with garden and an all Trex deck with 8” timbers to further propagate the feel of structural woodsy massiveness conjoin with green metal roofing to sell the idea of true pioneering in the wild, yet making

all so… ready-made, pristine and turnkey for whoever may walk right in.

For a band of hunting brothers, as a New York elite family’s country escape, or for an enterprising B&B prospector, this home is a once in a lifetime find; a singular opportunity that could be purposed in a thousand amazing ways, yet eventually, only to be experienced in one—by residing within.

No matter who you are, if you love the outdoors, if you wish to hunt on your own property, if you wish to share time with buddies or retreat with girlfriends for a lady’s escape--if you wish to begin an Air B&B or events property, if you wish to have a weekend home in the country for family escape or if you want to live your days in the beauty of nature with Minisink schools a stone’s throw away, everything you need for small town life is down your long drive. If any of these purposings describe yours in searching the market, this is the opportunity for you. This stunning retreat-like home is offered for $898,850.

You can call or text Robert on his cell at 845-800-0758 to arrange a preview of this special home as well as others. Robert, and his wife, Patricia, also an associate broker, can be reached by cell or in person at their Warwick New York office at 12 Maple Ave.

Often moves associated with lifestyle changes are voluntary. What is the best approach for when you want to move but don’t need to? For many people, the sales price of their home is a factor in how much they can spend on their next home. And, often people need the proceeds from their current home to close on their new home. If this is the case, you may want to put your home on the market before purchasing your next home. It’s actually quite common and easy. You can put your home on the market with the contingency that the sale of your home is subject to your finding a new home. If you get an offer on your home before you’ve found your next home, your real estate agent and your attorney can outline your options. These may include a short-term rental, an extended close date or a date by which if you haven’t found the home of your dreams, you are not required to go through with the sale. What’s important to remember is that when a move is made by choice, you have many wonderful options. With that, here are the homes in the Rivertowns that sold during June.

Legendary Ted Heads live on Renee Ludwiczak is the proud daughter of well-regarded, self-taught sculptor Theodore Ludwiczak, whom we have featured several times over the years.

Ted lived in Haverstraw, where he developed his sculpting gift after retiring from his career of 30 years making contact lenses.

When he passed in 2016, it was his daughter’s desire to create a means of honoring him, his work, and his continuing legacy. The popularity of his sculpted stone heads has created an overwhelming demand for his work. Not wanting to part with the original pieces, Renee is pleased to announce the birthing of “2nd GENERATION TED’S HEADS.” Having come up with a numbered series, the identical replicas are molded directly from the originals and cast using GFRC (glass fiber reinforced cement), giving them an authentic feel and quality.

For more information contact Reneeludwiczak@gmail.com. Her work is currently available in Nyacks’ Hickory Dickory Dock and Flora Garden & Home in Beacon.

You can see her work at the upcoming Haverstraw’s River Arts Festival on Sat, Sept 15 from 11am - 5pm. http://haverstrawriverarts.org/craftsfood/

Dream home with spectacular river views

By Kenyatta Jones-Arietta I can remember when I lived in the city and visited the River towns of Rockland County. I was fascinated by the beautiful homes that lined the drives of Piermont Avenue and Route 9W... what spectacular views of the Hudson River.

Here nearly 20 years later, I’m thrilled to be representing a few such properties along both routes, as the broker/owner of R2M Realty, Inc. The most recent addition to our inventory, 615 Route 9w South is one of my favorites. It is located in the village of Piermont, a choice destination for NYC day trippers and tourists, nestled in the town of Orangetown. The village is known for its many shops, galleries. restaurants and the ever popular Piermont Pier.

615 Route 9w S. is truly a dream come true. The 2800+ Sq Ft Colonial is located in the Georgia Rose Estates subdivision built by William Brodsky under the Rockhill Building Corporation in 1998.

This Georgia Rose home sits on a .46 acre lot, which lends itself to the most breathtaking views of the majestic Hudson River and abuts neighboring Raymond Esposito Rail Trail, perfect for running, biking and walking down to the village.

When you step into the foyer of 615 Route 9w, you are welcomed by gleaming wedge stained hardwood floors, which pop against the contrasting lighter colored painted walls. The dark chocolate finish is continued throughout the first floor, the second floor, upstairs staircase and the handrail of the balustrade, as seen through the white painted spindles on the upper level.

The arched doorway beneath, leads you into the generous gourmet eat in kitchen before exploding into a 20’ high sun lit wall of glass, exposing a grand view of the Hudson River all the way over to Irvington in Westchester County.

This open kitchen features updated stainless steel appliances, maple cabinetry, granite countertops and an over-sized peninsula just perfect for serving. The kitchen is literally the heart of the house and leads to the living/formal dining room, family room, laundry room and stairwell to the lower level living space.

The dining room/living room, family room with wood burning fireplace and kitchen all offer access to the over-sized Trex Deck via glass framed French doors, which connect the inside and outside living spaces, and are perfect for enjoying the home’s many scenic views year round.

Aside from the fore-mentioned public spaces, the first floor also features an office/guest bedroom and a polished Verona marble tiled bathroom with shower stall, finished with brass hardware and details.

The upstairs hallway is a statement within itself. Sit and enjoy the panoramic views of the river, with additional views of the first floor, which are overlooked from the balustrades on either side.

The sizable hall closet is great for storage and houses the hose for the central vacuum, which can conveniently be used throughout the house on the first and second floor levels. There are three bedrooms on the upper level, all finished with ceiling fan light fixtures, in addition, the front and master bedrooms, are both crowned with cathedral ceilings.

The master bedroom is where you will find serenity. The walk-in closet, outfitted with cubbies and hanging rods perfect for your sweaters and suits, even has space for your longer hanging pieces.

The master bath, with its full sized oval tub and shower stall is quite inviting. It is finished in a white tile with faint gray striations, quite contemporary in feel. It features double faucets with an elongated vessel sink.

The glass shower stall is complete with a well designed niche for your personal care items, rainfall shower head with hand held attachment and finished with smooth noir river rocks at the base.

Mary Callan - the Well Fed Yogi

The summer months present us with wonderful aromatic herbs and a plethora of fresh fruit to use in our food and cooking.

I love to incorporate fresh herbs wherever I can, for instance in the turkey burgers there’s sage, rosemary and oregano.

The Green Goddess Dressing is full of parsley and basil, not to mention lemon, olive oil and garlic, all the flavors of the sun!

The coulis is literally bursting with fresh berries.

The Green Goddess Dressing is divine.

I use it on just about everything, spread it on grilled or roasted meats and fish, use as a dip for raw vegetables or add as a topping to the turkey burgers.

The turkey burgers are so easy to make and can be assembled a day ahead of time, the flavors will just get better. Turkey, as we know can be just a tiny bit bland, it needs some delicious strong flavors to perk it up and make it interesting.

These fully loaded burgers are literally stuffed with delicious flavors, like balsamic onions, apple, celery and handfuls of fresh herbs. Then for good measure melt some sharp cheddar cheese over the top and add a dollop of Green Goddess Dressing.

The coulis is so easy and very delicious, everyone loves this! Don’t feel constricted by the recipe, use any fruit you love, apricots, apples, or any type of berries. It keeps in the fridge for over a week and you can pour it over yogurt for breakfast or creme fraiche for dessert.

Strawberry Coulis 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered 1 tablespoon water 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 heaping teaspoon maple syrup - more

68

if you like a little more sweetness Squeeze of lemon juice Place everything in a saucepan. Heat to a boil then turn down to a low simmer. Cover.

Simmer for about 10 minutes, keeping an eye on everything making sure it doesn’t boil dry!

When the fruit is soft and mushy, remove from heat and transfer to a blender.

Blitz until smooth.

Store in the fridge for up to a week.

Fully Loaded Turkey Burgers For the Balsamic Onions:

Fully loaded Turkey Burger. Opposite - Strawberry Coulis (top) and Green Goddess Dressing.

1 large white or yellow onion, peeled and finely chopped 2 tablespoons or so of olive oil 1 tablespoon grass fed unsalted butter Sprinkle of sea salt 1 tablespoon good quality balsamic vinegar For the Burgers: 1 lb organic free range ground turkey, dark or white meat 1 egg 1/2 – 3/4 cup finely chopped fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage, parsley are all good options, choose your favorite combination) 1 apple grated (skin on) 1 stick celery, finely diced Pinch of sea salt and grinding of black pepper For the toppings: Green Goddess Dressing Raw Sharp Cheddar Cheese

Cranberry Relish Tomatoes, lettuce, onion, pickles First prepare the balsamic onions. Place the onions, olive oil and butter in a saute pan and cook on a medium to low heat.

Sprinkle over a little salt to prevent burning. Be patient and allow the onions to cook down and caramelize, this could take up to 20 minutes.

Add a tablespoon spoon of balsamic vinegar, stir well and let bubble for a moment or two. Remove from heat and allow to cool thoroughly. This can be done up to 4 days ahead of time, they will happily sit in the fridge.

In a large bowl combine all the ingredients for the burgers. Add the cooled balsamic onions to the mix. Combine well.

Shape into patties and place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, place in the fridge for about an hour (they can absolutely be left overnight).

When ready to cook or grill gently brush the patties with olive oil, heat the pan or

grill and lay the patties down. Cook for a couple of minutes each side until just cooked through. Best enjoyed immediately.

Green Goddess Dressing 1 avocado Juice and zest of a lemon Pinch of sea salt and a grounding of black pepper 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 4 tablespoons olive oil 2-4 tablespoon water 1 clove of garlic 1 cup fresh basil 1/2 cup fresh flat leaf parsley So simple - just place everything in a high powered blender and BLITZ! That’s it. Taste and add a little more water to thin if necessary.

Do you remember this?

Like the rest of the world, I’m on Facebook.

I don’t send out many messages, I admit: mostly I use it to follow the travels and travails of my friends and clients, to lands afar and keeping up on births, deaths, birthdays and the like.

I follow one person who feels it necessary to tell the world every place they go. Another is infatuated with food: at least post it when it’s served before it’s a half-eaten plate of food!

I think though, the most personally offensive things I read posted is the “Do you remember this” postings…I’m not senile yet. I’m not experiencing any sort of dementia currently.

Why would I not remember something like a TV commercial or song of the 50’s? Need I be reminded that I am indeed (and I admit) getting older? Are these postings a test to see if I am of sound mind…from my friends!

We all have a treasure trove of memories in our brain of a hard drive, waiting to be retrieved at any time we need. Certainly, as we age it takes a little longer to bring up certain information, but it’s all there. So, my grey-haired friends, I ask you…what are you doing to service your hard drive?

I hear more and more excuses about not remembering- “are you a member of the CRS club?” (if you don’t know what this is, call meI can’t put it in the article!) “Oh, I hate this get-

72

ting older thing- I can’t remember what I came into the room for”, and all those excuses for not recalling something. I agree it’s frustrating and somewhat maddening at times, but what do you do to combat this stage in your life, and keep up on it?

If you have a flip phone, it’s time to go.

Yes, I know all you need to use it for is to make an occasional call, and you don’t want to learn how to use those new-fangled phones. Newsflash: there’s a reason it’s called a Smart-Phone… it’s smart! It’s much easier to use than the old flip phone and most importantly it can help you when you find yourself in a situation where your memory used to get you out of. My phone is called the Samsung Note- note being the operative word here. It has a small pen ready to pop out at any time to make a note for me to remember later. I use it to make my list before I go shopping, mark down someone’s phone number, directions, or a reminder for a good article in the future. Most importantly, it has GPS built in it. You always have your phone

with you, so you will always have your personal GPS with you. We all seem to find ourselves turned about in a place we’ve been a thousand times- all you have to do is preset it in the comfort of your home for when you need it, take out and set it for home, and it will magically tell you how and where to turn and get you right to your front door- without even having to engage or talk to a stranger. If a client comes in and plops a flip phone on my table, I make it a must for them to get rid of it and upgrade to a Smart-Phone… it’s not even up for debate…it’s a must.

Go to the medicine cabinet and line up all your meds, label facing you. Take out your new Smart-Phone (see…you’re using it already!) and take a picture. Now when you go to the doctor and have to list your meds, all you have to do is bring up the picture, and voila! There it is with the names, dates, dosages, etc. Try THAT with your flip-phone! Are you a grandparent?

Love your flower garden? Trying to re-live that vacation where you saw that unbelievable site?

Back to the Smart-Phone…it’s getting better and better- take all the pictures you want and have them available to you at any time…even send them out to a friend! Now, let’s talk Amazon…the 9th wonder of the world! Amazon is an amazing business concept from where I sit…which is why Jeff Bezos, the founder, is the richest individual in the world! With just a push of a few buttons, you can save that trip to the market or Home-Depot, and in most cases have what you need in less than 24 hours, delivered right to your door. (as an investment advisor, I must disclose that I hold no positions in Amazon stock nor plan to acquire any in the next few weeks and am not recommending the purchase of their stock). You may have heard the expression “download the app:” app is short for application. Again, at no cost for most, you can download to your Smart-Phone all kinds of applications we grey-hairs can use to keep our minds sharp…crosswords, scrabble, and a thousand things we can use to help us remember- I haven’t forgotten where I was going with thisapps to help with day to day tasks. Do yourself a favor- don’t give in to the theory as we age it’s an excuse to forget things- fight it with all you’ve got, use every tool available to you and don’t give up no matter what…and for heaven’s sake, get rid of that old flip phone!

We recently attended a Masterclass on aged Alsatian wines led by Thierry Fritsch of Alsace and Josh Nadel, an American Master Sommelier. Only white wines were tasted including Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewürtraminer. The individual bottles represented the best vintages from 1967 through 2009, including some great years in the Alsace region. The tasting ended with a 1989 Riesling Vendange Tardive that Thierry Fritsch had packed in his suitcase. Thierry is head oenologist and chief wine educator of the Conseil Interprofessionnel des Vins d’Alsace(CIVA).

The wine route in this northeastern region of France was started in 1953. It is 105 miles long with 47 trails; you can walk or bike through the vineyards and the villages some of which date back to the 1600-1800’s. This area has bounced back and forth between German and French rule. It was under German rule in 1871 before becoming French again and then back to Germany.

Thierry said his great-grandfather had to change his nationality five separate times! In 1962 Alsace joined the French AOC. The terroir here is ever changing from one plot to another, even meter to meter. There is granite, Shist, limestone, clay, sand, stone with calcerous bedrock, volcanic rock and more.

Most vines are planted between 650 to 1300 feet altitude. There is a tremendous emphasis on the relationship between the soil composition and the resulting wine. This is after all the most geologically diverse area of the world and Thierry insists each vineyard plot will produce individual expressions of the same grape variety. There is also great emphasis placed on respecting the environment through the use of organic and biodynamic farming principles.The wine bottle used in this region is a tall flute, one without a shoulder, generally green in color; Vin da Rhin.

Alsace AOP must list the name of varietal on the bottle which then means it is 100 percent of that varietal. If it is not listed the bottle might be labeled “Edelzwicker” or “Gentil” which are both names used to bypass the AOC regulations.

There are 13 AOP geographical communes which are more restrictive than the general Alsace AOC designation. If a wine comes with Lieu-dit on the label it has even stricter qualifications; small plots, vine density, harvest dates and yields are all controlled. There are also Grand Crus but a very small percentage of Alsatian wine carries this label. The AOP laws apply plus there are only 4 grapes allowed: Riesling, Muscat, Gewürtraminer and Pinot Gris. The other varietals are not allowed to be used in this category, Seyval Blanc, Savagnin Rose, Chasselas, Auxxerois and Silvaner to name a few.

Many of you must have had a crémant d’Alsace. Approximately 24% of Alsatian wine is sparkling. There were more than two dozen Rosé and Blanc crémants for us to try at the general tasting. The crémant Rosé is made with Pinot Noir. The Blanc may use a variety of white grapes mainly Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois and less frequently Riesling.

Alsatian wines are definitely worth exploring!
