Empty Bottles BY DAVID FALCHEK Napa’s output grows less diverse in wake of blight

M

aybe a few centuries from now, Napa Valley will be planted all, or mostly, with cabernet sauvignon.

European wine regions had centuries of trial and error to settle upon a few, or sometimes as few as one, grape varieties.

Vines in America’s bestknown wine region have gotten less diverse. A major blight last decade gave most producers an incentive to start over or refine what they grow.

While some regions focused on specialties, many planted the cash crop of cabernet.

Carneros, the cooler region known for pinot noir and chardonnay, also is a cradle of sparkling wines.

Beaulieu Vineyard 2015 Carneros Chardonnay shows smells of baked green apple

and pineapple. More creamy and buttery than oaky, the wine has a bit of almond and burnt butter at the end. The wine strives to be an approximation of a white Burgundy. $19. ★★★★ The northern Napa region of Calistoga is warmer, and grapes such as zinfandel and petite sirah thrive there. It’s difficult to find a zin with the Calistoga viticulture area on the label, but many Napa zins get grapes from the region.

Past vintages of Grgich Zinfandel attempted to cast the grape in an elegant Bordeaux style. They were interesting and intense. But the storied Grgich Hills 2013 Napa Valley Zinfandel, made from grapes off vines in Calistoga, falls short. The wine is peppery and light-bodied with

some blackberry to preserve character, but with a bitter edge. While not bad, the wine is a disappointment at this price. $38. ★★★ Double Lariat 2016 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is full of ripe cassis and blackberry fruit with a silky texture, soft tannins and satisfying acidity. $44. ★★★★ If cabernet does well in Napa, it would follow that other Bordeaux varieties — such as merlot, cabernet franc and petit verdot — will as well.

Merlot currently is out of favor, however. That means what’s available is better.

Rutherford Ranch 2016 Napa Valley Merlot shows cherry and blueberry with a hint of cocoa and vanilla. It finishes soft with a light tartness. $20. ★★★ 1/2

Napa does well with many grapes. I recall being surprised by a good Napa Valley riesling from Trefethen. Napa sauvignon blanc often impresses, too. Maybe Napa Valley will not be better off centuries from now, instead evolving like European regions have, planted with all cabernet and an also-ran.

GRADE: Exceptional ★★★★★, Above average ★★★★, Good ★★★, Below average ★★, Poor ★.

Haggerty’s Tavern marks 13 years serving West Side neighborhood

BY PATRICE WILDING Staff Writer

F

or years, Tony Konasavage worked as a bouncer at the former T i n k ’s d ow n t ow n a n d observed how a bar should — and shouldn’t — be run.

The Moscow native and graduate of University of Rhode Island, where he studied business, got his longawaited opportunity to open a place of his own in 2006.

Through a series of fateful events, including a deal falling through on the property he wanted in West Scranton at the same time that an unrelated deal fell through on the sale of a nearby bar on North Main Avenue, Konasavage staked his claim with a building that became home to his business, Haggerty’s Tavern.

Opened on St. Patrick’s Day 13 years ago, Haggerty’s has embraced its identity with a large Irish flag draped over a wall and a pinewood bar where guests can order a Guinness draught or a whiskey shooter.

Konasavage invested in some renovations to spruce the place up — including plenty of paint, a new tile floor and installation of the new bar top — and turn it into a cozier space.

“It was a landmark spot, but it was rough. It didn’t look like a great idea at the time,” he said with a laugh.

“But the people that work here are great, and it’s turned out well.”

His dedicated crew includes Mike McNichols, a Hyde Park Avenue native who has manned the bar since the beginning (though it was his first job bartending) and become the face of Haggerty’s.

“I love the fact that I learned behind this bar. I love the people I’ve met through the bar,” McNichols said. “It’s a fun job. We’re a neighborhood, West Side bar.

We’re proud of who we are

and where we’re from.”

Meanwhile, cook Brian Gannon keeps the food hot and fresh and has attracted a clientele that loves his work.

“He knows people’s orders when they come in,” Konasavage said. “He’s fast and intuitive. He’s a monster in the kitchen.”

“He’s very good at his job,” McNichols agreed.

The star of the menu is Haggerty’s award-winning wings, which come bone-in and as bites in a variety of flavors. On a recent afternoon, Gannon whipped up a

Up Close & Personal

WITH EMMA BLACK

Anthony Viola has been playing music for 18 years with his best friends, his brother Jesse, and Frank Desando, his childhood friend. With Anthony Viola on drums, his brother singing and on guitar and Desando on bass, the three have performed as a band, Family Animals, for nearly 11 years. They recently released their third album, “The End Is Mere.” Anthony Viola is a graduate of North Pocono High School and Luzerne County Community College, where he studied music recording technology. He lives in Mount Cobb.

Meet Anthony Viola...

Q: A:

What is your music background?

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been extremely passionate about it. When I was 13, Jesse was 10, and Frankie was 12, we started taking guitar lessons. We took lessons for about a year and made the band and loved every second of it. I was always drawn to music. Jesse and I got all my parents’ old records and were into those. My dad loves the Allman Brothers, the Beatles and Pink Floyd, so discovering that music as a kid was great.

siblings who don’t get along or have different interests, but we are extremely fortunate that we have the same dream, we’re a team, and we are on the same page.

Q: A:

Describe Family Animals’ sound.

We’ve been describing ourselves as a psychedelic, indie rock band. There are so many genres these days, and they’re all so niche. The whole idea behind our band is to try to be fluid with the genres we play. Even to say we are a psychedelic rock band is so broad. Our influences come from all over the place. We listen to reggae, classic rock, hiphop, Jack White and Frank Zappa. There are so many influences, and we want them all to come through without every sound sounding the same or being stale. We’re big fans of Pink Floyd, the Beatles, Butthole Surfers, Nirvana and a little bit of everything.

Q:

You recorded your first album almost 10 years ago. Your most recent album, “The End Is Mere” was released in February. How have things changed?

We recorded our first album with our professor, Paul Sinclair. We started recording it in the beginning of 2009 and finished a little over a year later. We released it in 2010. We wanted to produce “The End Is How did your band, Family Mere” ourselves since we went to school for Animals form? this. On our previous albums, we recorded We’ve known each other our whole lives.

For the most part, meeting him. It was way back before I Jesse did the writing. This time, we all started taking music lessons. We always talked about forming a band.

Q: A:

always worried about what everyone thought of me. I guess through music, being around Jesse and Frank and just reading a lot, I’m becoming more sociable.

In my 20s, I had a bad time with some tough personal things. Trying to come out of that and relearn who I am hopefully turned me into a better person who appreciates life more.

SOUNDS / CALENDAR

Sounds BY MIKE EVANS

Drop Mumford & Sons in favor of Phosphorescent, Jeff Tweedy Mumford & Sons — ‘Delta’

THE GOOD: Meh… THE BAD: Keep going…

THE NITTY GRITTY: British folk rock group Mumford & Sons further ditches the “folk” on its fourth album, which means a once sort-of forgettable group that at least SOUNDED unique — because of copious amounts of acoustic guitars, mandolins and banjos — now comes off as even LESS distinct and MORE forgettable. My only reaction to “Delta” is an overwhelming sense of indifference. That, and the fact that 62 minutes is FAR TOO MUCH Mumford & Sons for one sitting.

Seriously. Listen to “Delta” and you’d swear these guys want to be Coldplay. Tracks such as the cool and calculated lead single “Guiding Light” and syrupy sweet sing-along “Forever” try to be so pleasant and predictable, they immediately get sucked into the background, never demanding your attention again.

So I guess if you actually dig the banality of adult contemporary radio (not too hard, not to soft — the perfect mix for your office), “Delta” is the record for you.

BUY IT?: Probably not.

Phosphorescent — ‘C’est La Vie’ THE GOOD: Singer-songwriter Matthew Houck (stage name Phosphorescent) moves from Brooklyn to Nashville and releases his seventh studio effort (and first in half a decade).

THE BAD: Nope.

THE NITTY GRITTY: There’s a sense of “calm” permeating most of “C’est La Vie.” The lead single “New Birth in New England” is breezy and bouncy enough to qualify as a catchy Dawes track or left-of-center Jimmy Buffet tribute tune. And while nothing else on the record sounds quite THAT joyous, the album still can’t shake its feel-good vibe (not a bad thing).

Houck has done the folk-rock, semi-anonymous, singer-songwriter thing since the turn of the century. “C’est La Vie” doesn’t completely shake up that formula, but the move down south with all those pedal steel guitars definitely adds different colors to this musical palette. And those seeking something more heady will appreciate extended bits such as “Around the Horn,” a song resembling Tame Impala’s more accessible space-rock, or the swirling, hypnotic, instrumental “Black Waves/Silver Moon.”

BUY IT?: Yes.

Jeff Tweedy — ‘Warm’ THE GOOD: Singer-songwriter and indie legend Jeff Tweedy releases his second solo album.

THE BAD: Nope.

THE NITTY GRITTY: The ex-member of Uncle Tupelo and current Wilco frontman gave us his first solo record, “Together at Last,” in 2017. It was an album that saw the man reacquainted with past Wilco tunes in an acoustic setting. “Warm” is different. This record’s material is all new; the work serves as a companion piece to Tweedy’s recently published memoir, “Let’s Go (So We Can Get Back).”

So “Warm” is a deeply personal album, exploring many of the same topics the book does (music, fatherhood, rehab, etc.). And even though this is not a strictly acoustic collection, there’s an intimacy and closeness that runs much deeper here than on any Wilco set.

Tweedy also makes the songs spontaneous. Tracks such as “Don’t Forget” and “Let’s Go Rain” are very “in the moment,” with loose jams fast or slow, delicate or forceful. You’re getting to know a guy you thought you knew for decades.

BUY IT?: Yes. Contact the writer: mevans@shamrocknepa.com

Free Will Astrology BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Genius inventor Thomas Edison rebelled against sleep, which he regarded as wasteful. He tried to limit his time in bed to four hours per night so he would have more time to work during his waking hours.

Genius scientist Albert Einstein had a different approach. He preferred 10 hours of sleep per night and liked to steal naps during the day, too.

In my astrological opinion, you’re in a phase when it makes more sense to imitate Einstein than Edison. Important learning and transformation happen in your dreams. Give your nightly adventures maximum opportunity to work their magic on your behalf.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The otters at a marine park in Miura City, Japan, are friendly to human visitors. There are holes in the glass walls of their enclosures through which they reach out to shake people’s hands with their webbed paws. You need experiences akin to that in the coming weeks. Your mental and spiritual health will thrive to the degree that you seek closer contact with animals.

It’s a favorable time to nurture your instinctual intelligence and absorb influences from the natural world. For extra credit, tune in to and celebrate your own animal qualities.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Between 1977 and 1992, civil war raged in Mozambique. Combatants planted thousands of land mines that have remained dangerous long after the conflict ended. In recent years, a new ally has emerged in the quest to address the problem: rats that are trained to find the hidden explosives so human colleagues can defuse them.

The expert sniffers don’t weigh enough to deton at e t h e m i n es, s o they’re ideal to play the role of saviors. I foresee a metaphorically comparable development in your future. You’ll get help and support from a surprising or seemingly unlikely source.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Danish flag has a red background emblazoned with an asymmetrical white cross. It was a national symbol of power as early as the 14th century and may have first emerged during a critical military struggle that established the Danish empire in 1219.

No other country in the world has a flag with such an ancient origin.

But if Denmark’s Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, who’s a Taurus, came to me and asked me for advice, I would urge him to break with custom and design a new flag — maybe something with a spiral rainbow or a psychedelic tree. I’ll suggest an VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Imagine a even more expansive idea to you: create fresh stairway that leads nowhere; as you ascend, traditions in every area of your life! you realize that at the top is not a door or a hallway, but a wall.

CVS looks to help next generation embrace healthy self-image

C

VS announced recently that all unaltered images in the store’s marketing campaigns would denote a “Beauty Mark” to certify the photo was not retouched (smoothed, thinned or digitally altered). This comes after the brand announced last year that it would phase out retouched photos in store ad campaigns — along with beauty brand partners’ ads including L’Oreal, Maybelline and Rimmel — by 2020.

It’s definitely a step in the right direction, and I would love to think what CVS is doing can level the playing field, but the game was changed a long time ago.

Right now, we (my generation: the Millennials and a good majority of Gen Xers and Boomers, since almost everyone has a smartphone and even your grandma has a Facebook) look at our faces more than ever through photos.

By introducing Instagram and Snapchat filters into our world that slim our faces, make our eyes and lips bigger and give us perfect cheekbones, it’s hard not to feel weird — disappointed, even — when you look in the mirror.

So we edit our own photos with apps such as FaceTune that can remove spots, soften lines and even change the shape of our faces and bodies. If not, we’re at least slapping on a photo filter that smooths skin and lines and brightens up our entire complexion.

Some people take that one step further.

Now, instead of a celebrity photo, people are more likely to bring in an edited selfie of themselves into the plastic surgeon’s office, according to a recent story by WBUR, Boston’s NPR station. They’re calling it “Snapchat dysmorphia.”

According to the story, Massachusetts General Hospital had to write a practical

guide for plastic surgeons to help them recognize and treat the symptoms of body dysmorphia disorder, or BDD. There’s no official data that social media has an effect on BDD, it said, but social media has “become more integrated into BDD patients’ symptoms and rituals.”

I truly don’t know if CVS and a few beauty brands can change the culture with how infatuated we have become with looking like the most “perfect” (so many air quotes around that loaded word) version of ourselves.

To be my best devil’s advocate, I have to say that at some point, the pendulum is bound to swing the other way. In some ways, it already has.

The #acnepos movement that took over Instagram last year still holds millions of photos of people proudly showing their acne. Billie, a women’s shaving company, released the first shaving ad to show women’s stubble in 100 years — in an effort to celebrate what women choose to do with their body hair. We also can’t forget how far we’ve come in the body positivity movement either. As a preteen girl bombarded with tabloid images of superthin celebrities, I never thought I’d see a day where models such as Ashley Graham were accepted and revered as beautiful — as they should be.

CVS’s Beauty Mark campaign is the brand’s “pledge to pass a healthy selfimage on (to) the next generation.” Maybe that’s exactly what is it — a way to help the next generation before it’s tainted with Snapchat filters and FaceTune.

Maybe this also is a way to help the next generation not repeat our mistakes.

What do you think about CVS’s Beauty Mark campaign and selfie culture? Let me know.

Advice Goddess BY AMY ALKON Woman’s continued friendship with ex seems to undermine new marriage Youth hostile I’m a 35-year-old woman who’s been married for a year to a 70-year-old man.

My husband’s closest female friend is also one of his exes. He’s known her for 40 years. She’s a real sore point for me. She stayed at our apartment while we were away. She wouldn’t reply to any of my emails but constantly emailed my husband.

Recently, I saw a text my husband sent telling her to just email him at work because I have access to his phone. I feel that a husband shouldn’t have marriage-undermining friendships. I want him to stop talking with her. Am I wrong here?

— Angry Take a counter-intuitive approach and put yourself in this woman’s shoes: Where’s she supposed to shop for men ... the cemetery?

Older women get seriously annoyed at how men their age — typically the wealthiest and most eligible — dip down through the decades for partners. On dating sites, even a 98-year-old man in an iron lung will set his age preference at 18 to 30, just in case some woman is “openminded” (uh, about dating a man who has socks far older than she is).

Another thing to consider: In a relationship, it’s common to ask for and expect sexual fidelity. But how much social fidelity is it reasonable to expect? The notion that a relationship involves becoming somebody’s “one and only” socially, too, sounds romantic but is actually in sharp conflict with the complexity of many people’s lives. Your husband, for

example, has had a friendship with this woman for 40 years — five years longer than you’ve even been on the planet. His cutting her out of his life would mean cutting out somebody who understands who he is and where he’s been in a way few people probably do.

That said, it’s natural that you’d wish he’d give this woman the heave-ho. The jealousy that gives rise to feelings like this is wrongly maligned as a “bad” emotion. However, like all emotions, it’s actually “adaptive” — which is to say functional.

Evolutionary psychologist David Buss explained that jealousy seems to have evolved to protect us against threats to our relationship — alerting us to possibilities that our partner will cheat on us or leave us for another.

But jealousy can also be toxic to a relationship and damaging to the mate value of the partner who expresses it.

(Nothing like endlessly fretting to your mate that he could trade up to suggest that he should.)

Additionally, consider how counterproductive it often is to tell somebody what to do. The late social psychologist Jack Brehm came up with the term “psychological reactance” to describe a motivational state that automatically rises up in us when we feel our freedom to do as we choose is threatened. Basically, the more somebody tries to control our behavior, the more we want to resist, rebel — do whatever they’ve been trying to stop us from doing. (In short, nothing like being shown that there are straps to put someone in a mind to gnaw through them.)

This isn’t to say you’re necessarily off-base about this woman. Chances are, she resents you and is trying to chip away at your bond with your husband. Rotten.

However, as for how successful she could be, do you think your husband married you by accident? Like maybe you just happened to be in the passenger seat when he pulled into a drive-thru chapel: “Oops. Thought this was a car wash.”

As annoying as it must be to have this woman lurking around the borders of your marriage, consider the thinking from psychologist Erich Fromm that love is not just a feeling but something you do — sometimes by being a little more generous than you’d really like to be. This isn’t to say you have to shut up entirely about this woman. You can be honest with your husband that you find her undermining.

Ironically, the best way to control your romantic partner is not by trying to control them but by being so loving, supportive, kind and fun that it would be idiotic for them to leave you. Also, let’s quash any fear you might have that this woman could steal your husband. There’s little novelty (and thus little excitement) in getting together with somebody one’s known and been in touch with for 40 years. Also, recall how men, throughout their life span, tend to be most attracted to the younger ladies. Chances are, if he were to suddenly develop a thing for anything “midcentury,” it would be something like Eames chairs — not a woman who’s aged out of every dating program on TV, unless, of course, you count “Antiques Roadshow.”
