NEWS & VIEWS

Real Estate Related News & Events CAAR Member Pam Whorley Honored with Second Quarter Good Neighbor Award The Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS® (CAAR) announced that Pam Whorley of Montague Miller & Co. – Westfield is the second quarter Good Neighbor Award recipient.

The Good Neighbor Award program highlights local REALTORS® who dedicate significant time and interest to projects that make a lasting impact on our communities.

Whorley was nominated by her Broker, Rives Bailey, for her dedication, commitment, and fundraising efforts for the Charlottesville Women’s 4 Miler Training Program.

Whorley has volunteered for the Charlottesville Women’s 4 Miler Training Program organization for nine years—five of those years as a Director.

Through Whorley’s efforts, the training program has raised almost $36K in the last five years. She averages about 50 volunteer hours per month, and substantially more leading up to and during the event. She has recruited well over 100 volunteers to work beside her in hopes of helping women do more than they thought possible.

“Pam’s enthusiasm reverberates all through that program. Just when you wondered how you could ever run that far, Pam came up with humor and motivation—in equal measures,” said Barbara McMurry, Senior Vice President of Montague, Miller & Co. “Hundreds of women benefit every year from her dedication, and thousands of dollars are raised for a wonderful cause. I admire what she has accomplished!”

A $250 donation was made to the Women’s 4 Miler Training Program in Whorley’s name.

About CAAR: The Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS® serves more than 1,000 real estate professionals and affiliate members throughout the City of Charlottesville and the counties of Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, and Nelson. Widely recognized as the leading voice for real estate in Central Virginia since 1925, CAAR members bring professionalism and high ethical standards to every business transaction.

What’s Happening in Town?

Dominion Asks Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to Approve Atlantic Coast Pipeline Ahead of Schedule In a move to speed up the regulatory process, Dominion Energy and Duke Energy have asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to approve the proposed Atlantic Coast Pipeline ahead of schedule.

The letter requested that FERC “issue an order granting the certificate for the project at the earliest possible time, consistent with the rules and regulations of the commission.” This action was taken unilaterally and on behalf of those companies who would make almost a billion dollars of profit on the project, even if the pipeline never comes into service.

“For 3 years Dominion has been bullying its way through this process, throwing its enormous weight at landowners, politicians and ratepayers,” said Ernie Reed of Friends of Nelson. “Nothing is more dangerous than a desperate bully. This action also clearly demonstrates Dominion’s vulnerability and how much it fears getting its comeuppance.”

On the same day that Dominion’s letter was submitted to FERC, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service submitted comments to FERC on an Endangered Species Act consultation, noting that their biological opinion has yet to be issued.

The letter also noted that “as a reminder, Section 7(d) of the ESA requires that after initiation of formal consultation, the Federal action agency and applicant shall make no irreversible or irretrievable commitment of resources that limits future options. This practice ensures agency actions do not preclude the formulation or implementation of reasonable and prudent alternatives that avoid jeopardizing the continued existence of endangered or threatened species or destroying or modifying their critical habitat. “ “Regardless of the outcome, one thing is certain: Dominion will not have the last word on this,” Reed concluded. n

FALL FAMILY FUN:

Orchard Hopping IN CENTRAL VIRGINIA

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

FEATURE

BY KEN WILSON

F

all colors and fall flavors go together. Fall is when we go leaf-peeping and pumpkin picking, when we make apple sauce and pumpkin butter, when we enjoy stunning colors by day and mouth-watering pies at night. Fall is also festival time at area orchards, of which we have aplenty.

“Apples have been grown in Albemarle County since Jefferson’s time,” says Cynthia Chiles of Carter Mountain Orchard and Chiles Peach Orchard, whose family has been farming the same land for 100 years. “He was a big horticulturalist and grew a lot of heirloom varieties of apples.”

Jefferson’s eight-acre, horseshoe-shaped “Fruitery” at Monticello held 400 trees, two small vineyards, plus beds for figs and strawberries, “berry squares” for currants, gooseberries, and raspberries, and a nursery to propagate plants and trees. With his characteristic curiosity and scientific methodology, Jefferson experimented with and improved upon European fruit and European growing practices in the New World.

Foodie that he was, Jefferson grew eighteen varieties of apples alone, including the Esopus Spitzenburg, his favorite to eat, and the Taliaferro, his favorite for making cider. Latter day Virginians grow a wide variety as well, making the Commonwealth the sixth largest apple producing state in the country, with roughly 11,929 acres under cultivation.

Jefferson grew pumpkins too, both for himself and his family and guests, and to feed his workhorses, cattle, sheep, and pigs in late summer. Although his own pumpkin cultivars have been lost, Monticello today sells seeds for Connecticut Field Pumpkins, a 19th century variety he himself grew, “good for pies, with yellow flesh and soft skin.”

Carter Mountain Orchard and Chiles Peach Orchard Albemarle County’s Chiles family has been growing fruit for five generations—over 100 years—first planting peach and apple trees in Crozet in 1912, and, since the 1970s, operating Carter Mountain Orchard just down the hill from Monticello.

After a bad freeze in 1974 left the family with so little fruit at either orchard that the usual picking and pack-

ing routine wasn’t worth its while, it ran an ad in the newspaper, “cleaned out a tiny section of an old barn, set up a card table and a cigar box, and wondered if anyone would come.” They did. They still do: what was meant to be a one-time, emergency measure became an annual April through November, pick-your-own-fruit tradition at both the Crozet and Carter Mountain orchards.

Located next to Michie Tavern, down the road from Monticello, Carter Mountain Orchard offers a 40-mile view, and grows 17 varieties of apples plus three kinds of peaches. One of the family’s many little-known apple varieties is the September Wonder, an early variety of Fuji, crisp and sweet. Picking season on the mountain starts in mid-August and runs through November; right now they’re picking Golden

Delicious and Jonagold. Pumpkins, gourds and zinnias are on sale as well.

“At Carter Mountain we call September and October our Apple Harvest Celebration,” Chiles says. “Every day we have school field trips going on, apple-tasting available, and wine tasting and hard cider tasting rooms available. Prince Michel winery has a tasting room here on Carter Mountain as does Bold Rock Hard Cider. We are suppliers for both of those with grapes and apples, so that’s a nice matchup there. On weekends we have hayrides and music and other events.”

Carter Mountain Orchard’s 3rd Annual Halloween “Spooktacular” is October 28. This family-oriented event begins at 10:30 a.m. sharp (pun perhaps intended) with a Pumpkin Carving Contest, free with the purchase of a pumpkin. Registration starts at 10.

Bring your own carving tools. Kids under 15 must have an adult present during the carving. Decorations and props are encouraged. Awards will be given out at 11:30 a.m. in four divisions: Best Youth, Most Artistic, Scariest, and Funniest.

Costumed kids and grownups can march around the barn in the Halloween Parade starting at 1:00 p.m. The costume contest will begin at 1:30.

Prizes will be given in the Youth, Teen, and Adult categories. Kids 12 and under may wear masks. Kids in costume will get free treats from cashiers. Hayrides will be available all day, weather permitting, for $3 per person (no charge for kids two and under). The Caramel Apple Dipping Station will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

There will be more apple picking, apple cider donuts, hayrides, lunches, and wine and hard cider tastings on Veterans Day, Saturday, November 11, when Carter Mountain holds its 5th Annual Salute to Hometown Heroes, honoring local fire, rescue, police, and military personnel.

The American Legion will lead a flag ceremony at 11:30 a.m. Booths will honor and offer services to all who serve and have served. Hometown heroes with ID will receive discounts on all purchases.

Vintage Virginia Apples and Albemarle CiderWorks Another Albemarle County family, the Sheltons, has been farming in southern Albemarle since 1986. That’s the year Bud and Mary Shelton, now nearing retirement, bought a small farm in North Garden, named it Rural Ridge after Rural Plains (the Shelton family seat in eastern Virginia) and built their dream home. Along with their four children, Bud planted about 20 fruit trees—

apple, pear, peach, and cherry.

Inspired by the heirloom apple tastings conducted at Monticello by author and apple historian Tom Burford, in 1992 the Sheltons purchased trees from Burford’s own orchard. Today their orchard has more than 200 cultivars, including the GoldRush, a late 20th century variety developed by Purdue University, and the MonArk, an early ripening cultivar from the University of Arkansas. Burford, known as “Professor Apple,” serves as orchard consultant.

The Sheltons have also collected about three dozen peach varieties, plus plums, pears, cherries, nectarines and apricots, and they sell over 100 varieties of vintage fruit trees, many of them virtually unobtainable anywhere else.

In 2000 the family founded Vintage Virginia Apples, and in 2009 it opened Albemarle CiderWorks.

The Tasting Room is open Wednesdays through Sundays from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Tastings are $5 per person for patrons 21 years of age or older.

Albemarle CiderWorks will hold its annual Star Party hosted by Dark Skies Bright Kids on Saturday, September 23, rain or shine, from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. This evening of astronomical education for the whole family will feature telescopes, laser pointers, infrared cameras, a walk-through solar system, and an inflatable planetarium.

Graves Mountain Lodge Graves Mountain Lodge in Madison County is a rustic retreat that prides itself on down home hospitality, home cooked food, and “unrivaled” natural beauty. The Lodge has been in business for 135 years. Its free autumn Apple Harvest Festival has been happening for a mere 48.

On Saturdays and Sundays October 7, 8, 14, 15, 21 and 22 the Lodge will celebrate with bluegrass music, clogging, hayrides, a hay mountain and hay maze,

horseback and pony rides, and over 70 arts and arts and crafts vendors. Festival goers can visit the Lodge’s farm and its animals, watch apple butter being cooked in kettles over an open fire, pick apples in the orchards, or select their own from apple bins at the picnic pavilion. Parking is free and the Festival will take place rain or shine.

Apple varieties will include Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Stayman, York, Winesap, Mutsu, Fuji, Granny Smith, Rome, and Empire. Pumpkins, gourds, cider, Indian corn, preserves and condiments will be for sale at the Lodge’s Packing Shed in Syria, across the street from Syria Mercantile.

The music starts at 11:00 a.m. daily and runs till 3:00 p.m. Cloggers will dance from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. The day by day schedule is as follows.

The menu will include Brunswick Stew, cornbread, apple butter, applesauce and apple cider, hamburgers, hotdogs, pork barbecue, French fries, and apple pie. Sweet treats for sale elsewhere will include funnel cakes, apple butter donuts, fried apple slices, apple cinnamon ice cream, soft serve ice cream, apple pies, and apple slices with caramel sauce.

Lunch at the main lodge will be served from 12 noon to 1:30 p.m.; dinner will run from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Reservations are required and seating is limited.

Silver Creek & Seamans’ Orchards Nelson County’s Silver Creek & Seamans’ Orchards (SCSO) is a family (or rather, families—Seamans and Flippins) affair as well, dating back to the 30s. Today the orchards grow about 25 varieties of apples, plus pumpkins, blueberries, cherries, strawberries, and wine grapes that they sell to wineries in Virginia and North Carolina.

Apples for sale at Silver Creek & Seamans’ include Empire, Gala, Gold Delicious, Fuji, Jonagold, Red Delicious, Honey Crisp, and Pink Lady. Seamans’ Orchard began growing pumpkins in 1990 using a no-till system, which uses rye as a mulch to prevent pumpkins from having contact with the ground.

Their system conserves water, helps prevent weeds, and keeps pumpkins cleaner. Seamans’ pumpkins range in size from 4 ounces to 30 pounds, and are available pre-picked and pick-your-own.

The orchards have held Apple Butter Makin’ Festivals on the first and

VITAE SPIRITS

RAGGED BRANCH

DRINKING LOCAL: Distilling Spirits in Central Virginia

BY KEN WILSON

A

s an underage college kid, Ian Glomski made “crappy” beer in his mother’s house. As an adult he makes whiskey in an alternative school—a former school, that is.

Let’s not get the wrong impression.

What Glomski is up to in the former Henry Avenue Learning Center in Charlottesville, and what an increasing number of adventurous entrepreneurs in the city and the surrounding counties are turning to for fun and profit, is the entirely legal, economically stimulating, and increasingly creative distillery business. Bourbon and single malt, vodka and gin, rum and rye, and even amaro and anisette—local distillers are making them all, to the delight of foodies and craft cocktail connoisseurs with palates developed well beyond those of school kids and undergrads.

Glomski’s thirst to make better beer led him to a course in microbiology, and a career in the field lasting over 20 years, before disenchantment with the funding process necessary to that work led him full circle. “Making alcohol in some shape or form had been my life ever since I was 18,” he says. “It brought me back to becoming a distiller.”

His Vitae Spirits distillery fired up its newly installed still on Henry Street for the first time in November 2015.

Today it produces gin, orange liqueur, anisette and two kinds of rum, and Glomski’s scientific background, botanical knowledge and zest for local herbs and spices—there are 18 in the gin alone—is reflected not only in the bottles but on them.

“Our labels are supposed to look something like Darwin’s journals as he’s sailing around the world doing sketches,” Glomski says, “and that’s why our actual mark [on the top left of the label] is the ethanol molecule.”

Much of what flavors the spirits within—hardy orange, ginger, lemongrass, mint and cilantro, for example—is grown in the area, sometimes in Glomski’s own backyard.

Vitae’s Modern Gin won the silver medal in the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Another of its most popular offerings is a collaboration with its next door neighbors, Ace Biscuit and Barbeque. “We get fresh sugarcane and grill it over charcoal,” Glomski says, “so the sugarcane stems get all caramelized and smoky.

That’s what we use to flavor our Golden Rum. No one’s tasted anything

COPPER FOX DISTILLERY like it before.” He’s also working with Mudhouse to develop a coffee liquor; a beer-whiskey produced in collaboration with Charlottesville’s Champion Brewery will be released soon.

Over in Afton, Christine Riggleman opened Silverback Distillery (where she makes vodka, gin, rye and bourbon) in August 2014. “I knew I wanted to be a producer when we bought the property,” she says. “I wanted to do something different. It seemed like there were enough breweries around and we wanted to shake things up a little bit.”

By “we,” Riggleman means herself and her daughter Lauren: “We’re the only mother-daughter distilling duo in the country.”

Mother and daughter operate two stills, a traditional pot still, and what’s called a continuous column—“She’s 27 feet tall and I can run her 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” Riggleman says. And she runs it responsibly, buying Virginia-grown grain and Nelson County honey, and donating the spent mash leftover after the distilling process to nearby farmers for use as fertilizer and livestock feed. “We’re also the first distillery in the country to use geothermal technology for our distilling process.”

Riggleman is proud of the results.

“We have won 14 international awards in three years, and we didn’t enter Billy Bob’s Whisky Contest. We entered

SILVERBACK DISTILLERY the hardest spirits competitions in the world and we have won 14 times; we’re not afraid to play with the big boys.”

Peter Morganer is one of five distillers at Copper Fox Distillery, which opened in Sperryville in January of 2005 and produces single malt, gin, bourbon and rye. “We’re a craft distillery, so we start from scratch with nothing but Virginia products,” Morganer says, “malting the grain and smoking it. We have our own mill, to mill it into flour, and then we do fermentation and distillation on the premises.”

“Our flagship is our single malt whiskey. In Scotland they smoke their barley with peat. We were the very first distillery in the world to smoke barley with fruitwood—we smoke it with apple

to see what I could do. I was instantly hooked. Even back then, I was sharing what I’d made with friends in blind tastings, and they were impressed, so I knew I was onto something.”

Aass’s Spirit Lab Distilling in Charlottesville released its tiny first batch of single malt—100 percent barley malt fermented using a wild yeast strain Aass started seven years ago in his kitchen—in December, 2016. The next batch of 100 or so bottles should be out any day now. For his amaro, a potent digestif of Italian origin, Aass and his wife forage wild pawpaws, autumn olive blossoms, perilla, and pecans. “It’s amazing what grows in this part of the country, and how healthy and bountiful the local flora is.”

Local grains and local flavoring agents are foundational to the Virginia distillery biz. But so is local spirit. “We get two to four sets of people a week coming through wanting to open a distillery,” Riggleman says. “We try to give them tips and advice. We help each other out quite a bit.”

“We certainly use physical things from around this area to give us a personality, but it’s not just your ingredients,” Glomski agrees, “it’s the network and the ideas. We’re in a unique location that builds these relationships with all the people around us. That space is defining our local influence also.“ n

and cherry wood. When our owner Rick Wasmund was growing up, he loved the smell of different kinds of fruitwood when he would have fires, and he wanted to bring that into his whiskey.”

Over at Ragged Branch in southern Albemarle County, Alex Toomy and his two distillery partners “do it old school,” even growing their own corn, rye and wheat. Toomy was “looking for something different than development and building as a retirement plan. This seemed like a fun thing to do.”

Watching the History Channel one night, he saw a Modern Marvels episode about American whiskey. The next day he cold-called David Pickerrell, mash distiller and vice-president of Maker’s Mark. “He was real enthusiastic about helping us,” Toomy recalls.

“That was in 2009. We put our first barrel up July 14, 2010.” Ragged Branch currently sells a wheat-based and a rye-based bourbon, along with Bourbon Beef, mash-fed Black Angus available in a variety of cuts. A cask strength, 121-proof, “Cowboy Cut” bourbon and a rye are on their way.

Ivar Aass moved here from New York City in 2012, having lived in Norway, Indonesia and France. “Scotch, whiskey and spirits are life-long passions for me,” Aass says,” and I’d always wanted to learn how to make them, so I started tinkering around in my NYC apartment with a tiny stovetop still
