Fresno Flyer Vol 4 No 2 by Fresno Flyer

EDITOR’S NOTE Recently, the Publisher and I came to the table to define not just what we want the Flyer to be, but who we wanted it to be. Since the beginning, we’ve been asking ourselves this question over and over, and the answer keeps changing. Sometimes, I feel that’s because we haven’t figured out the magazine’s identity yet and redefining the answer means we’re only getting closer to the truth. This year was the year I realized that the definition of who we are, as the Flyer, keeps changing because our values have evolved. Two years ago, if you had asked me, I would have told you that the Flyer’s purpose was to celebrate all the great and surprising things of the Central Valley. That it was to highlight the positive, to elevate our collective self-esteem so that we began to feel proud rather than embarrassed to be Central Valley residents. And while that may still be true, I’ve realized that it’s only a small piece of the overall picture. There is a massive disconnect here in the Central Valley, each city keeping its cards close to its chest and preferring to remain an island rather than as an extension of a broader community. What’s more, is there’s a longstanding divide in Fresno - the largest of all cities in central California - so vast that Fresnans call it the Tale of Two Cities. As each month passes, the Publisher and I have to decide what topics of articles to print - we do

this by keeping our ear to the ground and plugged into the general climate of local happenings - and what we’ve ultimately found is that to truly love the Central Valley meant taking the good with the bad. And by ‘bad’ I mean unresolved issues, the economic disparity between sections of the same city, and the abundant disconnect among Central Valley tenants surrounding the definition of our own culture. The Flyer isn’t about reporting news (that’s what the local newspapers are for) we’re here to reflect back the culture of the Central Valley as it’s happening in real-time with as much accuracy as our resources allow. It may seem like a pipe-dream, but who and what we want the Flyer to be is the thread that connects the fractured pieces of our community together. We’re not out to create some singular identity, rest assured that we don’t believe in ‘one’ Fresno or valley. What we mean is to amplify as many of the different voices here so that they share the space more equally. So that each community feels like they have a stake in the Central Valley’s future - because they do. Sometimes that means celebrating the good, and other times, it means talking about the issues that remind us of the work that still needs to be done. The Central Valley has great potential, but we can’t realize it unless we’re all in it together. As the Flyer, we just want to do our part.

urning dreams into reality is never a straight forward endeavor. There’s always twists, turns, unforeseen obstacles and surprise encounters along the way. And for self-taught winemaker Christine Flannigan, the idea of creating her own winery meant she literary had to carve it out of stone. The journey began in 2004 when Christine and husband Chuck moved from Sacramento to a hillside home in Squaw Valley. With a little time on her hands, a bit of land to work with, and an interest in winemaking, the vision of creating her own wines slowly began to evolve. “I love wine,” she says. “I’ve always wanted to have wine grapes – and from that, it follows to make my own wine.” That process started in 2006 when she and Chuck decided to make some wine for home use and took on the challenge of creating a small vineyard on the rocky slope beneath their home. Which meant working around boulders and augering through decomposed granite to make the holes deep enough for the vines. Simultaneous, to further enhance her knowledge of the craft, Christine attended winemaking workshops, read books, studied journals, and in 2009 connected with the newly formed Viticulture and Enology Association of Squaw Valley/ Miramonte. Whom she blames for planting the idea of starting her own winery in the first place. “We would talk about it in our meetings, share information and tips. And I thought, I could make better wine than you could buy at the store,” she laughs. That led them to check with Fresno County and Cal Fire to see what it would take build a winery on their property. And promptly encountered a series of obstacles. They knew they wanted to put the winery

in the ground, but how do you construct a building in the ground when that ground is solid granite? This is where Chuck’s long career in construction came into play. Being a superintendent on large scale projects throughout the state gave him access to tools & materials needed for the job. “We dug some test holes around what we thought was roughly the footprint of where the building would go,” he says. “And we see it’s a single rock. So now we know it’s possible.” Then came the Cal Fire regulations.

The south facing vineyard also had to be dug from the granite. The entire operation is solar powered.

Because of the elevation and terrain of the projected site, they were told they would first have to construct a 96,000-gallon water storage tank for fire suppression. That was almost a deal-breaker – almost. “I was on the phone with Cal Fire when they told me about the water tank. I was about to give up when the guy tells me to hold on because he remembers something about a Wine Cave,” Christine recalls. Long story short – putting the structure in the ground, surrounded by 3 sides of dirt and calling it a Wine Cave, essentially a subterranean formation for the storage and aging of wine. Doing so meant there was no need for the water storage tank or a sprinkler system. Plus, due to the insulating factor of the ground, it would be cheaper than installing expensive commercial refrigeration units. With the way now clear, Chuck put a crew together and completed construction in about 3 months. Followed by the time it took to install the electrical and plumbing, purchase the winemaking equipment, and begin the process. Of course, to have wine, you have to have grapes. But not just any grapes. Christine knew she wanted something special for her estate wines. “I chose unique varietals because I didn’t want to make wines you could find easily someplace else, like Zinfandel or Cabs.” With that thought in mind, she launched an international search for those “unique varietals” to plant in her hillside vineyard. “It began with the Carmenere,” recalls Chuck. “Christine read an article about how disease had wiped out the Carmenere in the 1800s in France. Then in

ver wonder why you seldom hear music playing at wine tastings? Generally sedate events, you’d think some soft, melodic tunes in the background would enhance the experience of sipping wine. Not so, claims Clark Smith, co-owner of the Santa Rosa-based wine consultancy company, Vinovation. Considered a wine industry provocateur, Smith has spent years investigating how music can influence the way we perceive the flavor of a wine. He now demonstrates these concepts at winemaking workshops around the country. Chuck and Christine were introduced to Smith a few years ago when they attended one of his pairing wines with music sessions at a conference. And they were so impressed with the science they decided to emulate it when they got home. The process goes like this. “We do a flight of whites and later a flight of reds,” explains Chuck. – “And with no music playing you taste the 3 wines and rate them, best, middle, least. And then we put on some music that more or less matches the wine – and basically, the one you thought was the best doesn’t taste good anymore and the one you didn’t’ like tastes great.” How does that happen? According to Smith’s research, it has to do with how the pleasure centers in your brain process and connect stimuli. He postulates that hearty red wines need music in minor keys with strong emotions to bring out their full flavors, while lighter reds and whites taste best with tunes on the softer side. “So, a hearty, masculine red will change taste if Diana Krall or Sade is being played as compared to some Bruce Springsteen or Bob Segar,” says Christine. “Whereas a Petit Sarah would taste great with Diana Krall or Sade because it’s more of a sexy, sultry wine.” Christine suggests wine drinkers can try this experiment on their own. “Put on a 30-second clip of music and see what music the wine tastes best to.” Chances are that big Cab will totally rock to some “Seek and Destroy.”

... ‘Cave Goddess’ cont’d from pg 3 the 1990s, it was rediscovered in Chile growing well at elevation in rocky, sunny slopes. So that was the first 60 vines she planted in 2006. It was excellent, so she continued with that. That international search for grapes that would grow well in rocky, sunny slopes of Squaw Valley led to Christine’s choices. For the reds, she planted the Carmenere, along with Mourvèdre, grown in Spain and the Rhone region of France, and Aglianico, mostly grown in southern Italy, For the whites she chose Vermentino, also from Italy. So now they have the grapes and a winery, but what to call it? “Sierra Peaks” was the logical name for the winery, but a wine wholesaler in Texas already had a claim to that name. So, Christine set off on another search. “I have an affinity for Native American deities. I was looking for something like Kokopelli or one of the Kachinas, “she recalled. “Then I met Huitaca, the Columbian goddess of drunkenness and indulgence. And she has become my best friend.” The story goes that the moral God, Bochica, grew tired of Huitaca’s antics and turned her into the moon. “He was basically an old grump who wanted the party girl to go away,” says Chuck. With all the pieces finally together, the 1st wines were made in 2014 and Huitaca has been busy ever since. It took time to develop the techniques and employ the right tools for creating the wines, and 5 years of work with the Viticulture and Enology Association of Squaw Valley/Miramonte to get the region certified as an American Viticulture Area (AVA). Being certified as an AVA means the area is designated as a unique grape-growing region, producing unique wines that are distinguishable from the surrounding areas. “There’s a lot of data goes into that - weather, type of soil, how many acers of grapes, what makes this area different from others (rain & snow fall), elevation,” Chuck explained. Then there’s the task of getting people to try the wines. To accomplish this Chuck built a deck above the winery, with a gorgeous view of the valley below, where they

conduct wine tastings every Saturday during the spring and summer. Christine says that she has proven to be a great way to meet the neighbors and teach folks about wine. “We’re so spread out here it’s been great to get an idea of our community. I also like providing an entertainment venue for people because there’s not a lot of that here. And we’ve had people come winetasting that had never been wine tasting before. They love it – they get educated on wine, and they end up buying a bottle or two. And that’s very reaffirming.” They also attract people heading up to the national parks, adds Chuck. “That’s kind of a kick in the pants to have somebody roll in from Australia or the UK or wherever. They see the signs and are curious to sample local wines.” Additionally, they host periodic special events to help enhance the winetasting experience, like matching aromas to the flavor of wine, showing wine-themed movies on an outdoor screen, and demonstrating how music influences the one’s perception of wine. (see attached sidebar) Because Christine only makes wine in limited quantities, about 1500 bottles a year, large retail distribution is not possible. Meaning her wine can only be purchased at the winery itself or at Gino’s Sierra Inn in Squaw Valley, which sells it by the bottle. Huitaca wines will also be featured in a special Wine Tasting event at the Grant Grove Restaurant in Grant Grove on September 14. So, after 15 years of love and labor in search of the cave goddess, are they still having fun? “Most days, yes,’ says Christine. “We have some great supporters here. Owning a business is tough, so it makes a big difference to have people who support you and are proud of you.” “It’s been an adventure,” adds Chuck. “If you told me 20 years ago that I would own a vineyard I would have laughed at you. I’ve also discovered it takes a tremendous amount of beer to build a winery.” --Sierra Peaks Winery is located at 50806 Bramble Lane in Squaw Valley, CA.

Grill Like a Boss with Big BBQ Flavor and Bold Wines (BPT) - Grilling is one of America’s greatest pastimes, and if you love grilled meat, chances are you also like hosting cookouts to show off your pit master prowess. Once you’ve mastered the art of the char, why not take it a step further? Serve wine that blows the lid off the meal, in the best possible way.

The right wine pairing makes all the difference. The aroma and flavor of wines can highlight and enhance the taste of grilled food like no other beverage. And the good news is, it’s not rocket science. Choosing wine depends mostly on what you’re grilling, and how you’re dressing it up - what kind of sauce or rubs you’re using. Here’s a handy guide to wine pairings to take your cookout to the next level.

Bold barbecue needs bold wine

When you’re grilling cuts of beef like brisket, tenderloin, a juicy steak or ribs and using potent spices and flavors like classic Kansas City or Memphis-style barbecue sauce, cabernet sauvignon is a great choice to balance those intense flavors. For example, within The Federalist’s portfolio of wines celebrating America’s heritage, The Federalist Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon is a medium weight red wine with a good grip from tannins, in wine speak - and what does that mean? It means the flavor | FRESNOFLYER.COM |

and body of the wine is strong enough to hold up to the bold, smoky and spicy flavors of your meat. You can also serve it with game like venison, or roasted and smoked vegetables. This wine has an aroma of berries, tart cherries, sweet oak and cinnamon, along with a delicious flavor that will wow your meat-loving guests. Another popular choice to serve with grilled meats like a flank steak is The Federalist Honest Red Blend, combining 53% merlot grapes with 30% zinfandel and 15% cabernet sauvignon. It marries the flavor of dark fruits with some spiciness and a rich, round mouthfeel. You can’t go wrong serving a bold red wine with grilled red meat, as the high-fat content in the meat is balanced by the strong tannins present in red wine.

Mix it up If you’re serving a mix of grilled foods, including pork or barbecued chicken along with burgers and steaks, you’ll want to choose a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of different types of meat and poultry. Since many pork recipes use sweet and tangy sauces, wine with a fruitier flavor may be just the ticket, like red zinfandel or a bourbon barrel aged wine. You may even want to add a little of the wine to the sauce. The Federalist Bourbon Barrel-aged Zinfandel embraces the uniquely American tradition of aging wine in

charred bourbon barrels. The result is a fruity, spicy wine with dark cherry and cola notes, making the wine a great choice to pair with chicken marinated in barbecue sauce or grilled smoked sausages. For a stronger tannin structure and cleansing acidity that pairs exceptionally well with steak, a Lodi sourced zinfandel adds some zing to balance spicy, smoky flavors from your grill or smoker.

Lighten it up When you’re grilling lighter fare like fish or chicken, or if you’re entertaining vegetarian or vegan friends, choose a white wine to enhance and match those delicate flavors and textures. Heavier barbecued meats and stronger flavors can easily overwhelm a lighter white wine, but a crisp chardonnay pairs very well with these foods. Chardonnay pairs perfectly with veggie burgers and grilled vegetables, chicken, and several types of fattier fish such as salmon, trout, tuna or rockfish. You can even serve it with Cornish game hen if you’re feeling fancy. Grilling season is just getting started, so take advantage of it by making your next cookout a standout event. Tap into these tips to help you select the right flavor balance to show off your grilling skills.

BIRD IS THE

WORD How a little brewery in Lemoore is making a big splash with the locals. By: Dave Fountinelle | davebh1975@gmail.com

y first impression when I pulled up in front of Bird Street Brewing, Inc. was, “This looks like a pretty chill little spot.” There aren’t any neon window signs or other outside trappings one would associate with a drinking establishment. It’s just a modest storefront in the middle of the block, next door to a Mexican restaurant, which I almost mistook for Bird Street at first because they did have the neon beer signs in their windows. That initial opinion was further confirmed when I opened the door and was greeted with the sounds of a bluesy rock record being played at a volume that actually allowed people to hold a conversation at a reasonable level. Standing behind the bar, Owner, Phillip Wren, welcomed me with a smile and invited me to pull up a seat at the bar. “What can I get you started with?” He asked. “Would you like a glass or a sample of something?” On a screen above the 10 rotating taps is the ever-changing menu of beers available. With names like “Chubockcabra,” “The Unburnt,” “Sucker Punch,” and “Churroveza,” it’s immediately apparent that this is going to be an interesting experience, to say the least. So, being completely unfamiliar with what Bird Street had to offer at this point, I told Phillip, “show me something that will knock my socks off.” “Ok,” he replied with a grin. A minute later, Phillip presented me with a 2oz tasting glass of what appeared to my untrained eye to be a typical blonde ale. “I call this The Unburnt,” he said. I take a sip, expecting the standard bitter, yeasty, hoppy flavors of microbrew beer, but what I got instead was the taste of a freshly brewed cup of coffee! I was stunned! It was at that moment I realized there is something extraordinary going on in this place.

| SEPTEMBER 2019

Bird Street Brewing, Inc. has only been open for a year. But, Phillip Wren had been brewing high-quality ales, lagers, and IPAs for 4 years before that. Local residents may have seen the Bird Street products in Lemoore at the Best Buy and Save Mart grocery stores, among other locations. After 4 years of fighting for shelf space with large distributors, Phillip made the decision to open his own pub and sell his creations directly to the public. He no longer sells his products in stores, but it’s because he needs every drop to keep up with the demands of his patrons. “Sometimes we completely tap out,” he tells me. “That›s not a bad problem to have, though, really.” The next beer I try a sample of is “Sucker Punch,” a blueberry sour ale that is so mild and refreshing, with a much lighter tartness than I’ve experienced with other sour ales. It’s a perfect palate cleanser after The Unburnt. The next thing I notice about Bird Street is the note on the chalkboard that they give a 15% discount to all firstresponders. Bird Street Brewing, like most small businesses in Lemoore, is very active in the community. They frequently host fundraisers and events at their location and are regular fixtures at food fairs, beer fests, and the like all over Kings County. All this from a guy who started brewing beer pretty much out of boredom while working from home at his old job, doing IT work. “Before I met my fiance, I was sharing a place with some friends, and we had the idea of brewing our own beer one day, just for something to do. I read some books, and we bought the brewing kits and just took it from there.” After moving in with his fiance, Phillip got the itch to start brewing again

| FRESNO FLYER |

for himself and his friends, who were all impressed with the quality of his brews and encouraged him to start selling it. Since then, the hobby has become a passion, and that passion is reflected in both the quality and originality of every beer on the menu. Which brings me to the third and final beer I sampled, “Churroveza.” I had read a little about this beer while doing my research before visiting Bird Street, and I was immediately curious to try “a churro-flavored Mexican lager.” And that’s precisely what I got. I’m not sure words alone are enough to describe this beer. It really does taste just like a churro! The flavors of cinnamon and vanilla were so intense that I thought I was drinking the milk at the bottom of a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, rather than having a glass of Mexican lager. “The most important thing is to always have fun doing this,” Phillip says with a chuckle as he sees my reaction. “I didn’t want to have a place where I just do half a dozen different IPAs, and they all taste pretty much the same. I want to always be creative and experiment with new flavors and techniques. Sometimes they work great, like with the Churroveza here, and sometimes they don’t. But that’s what makes it exciting.” Having fun is the impression of Bird Street Brewing that stuck with me the most, long after I had thanked Phillip for

being such a gracious and generous host and opening my eyes to the incredible things that microbrewers like him are doing. Bird Street isn›t a typical bar, it›s not a place for people to come in, tie one on, and get rowdy. It’s not a place to go for a burger and a brew, either. Other than some snacks behind the bar, Bird Street doesn’t sell food. “I just want this place to be all about the beer,” he says. “I tell people, there’s the Mexican place next door, Ocean City is around the corner for Chinese food, and there›s a great Thai place on the next corner. You›re welcome to go grab some food and bring it back here, I’m happy to promote these other local businesses ... I want this to be a place for people to come and just enjoy some good beer. Come in, hang out, have a glass. If you like it, buy a can, buy a growler, bring in your own growler and we’ll fill it for you. Just please make sure it’s clean first!” --Bird Street Breweing is located at 242 Heinlen St, in Lemoore, CA 93245 Open Thursday 5 PM - 9 PM through Saturday 3 PM - 10 PM 559-423-7748 Visit www.BirdStreetBrewing.com to check out the Beer List

OPINION

RIGHTFULLY REPRESENTED By I. smiley G. Calderón | smileygcalderon@gmail.com

he year was 1992, and voters in Fresno had just successfully voted to change how city government was conducted. In addition to switching to a mayor-council form of government, provisions were put into place to ensure proper and equitable city council representation for the future. Back in the 90s, when Fresno was a smaller yet rapidly growing place, the city’s population was just at about 385,000 residents. Yet the smart voters of the day knew that, as the population increased, so should representation. They understood that Fresno’s government would need to evolve and grow alongside its population increase. In fact, this Expansion of Council Membership guaranty is what was included in the original text of City Charter Section 1504: “(a) At such time as the population of the City of Fresno reaches 540,000, the Council shall add two Council offices to the Council…” How straightforward and clear! Yet, sadly, in 2010, an initiative called Measure A, was passed with about 34,200 votes, that changed Section 1504 in some critical ways. First, it increased the population threshold from 540,000 to 650,000. So now, before additional councilmembers can even be considered, Fresno has to be spilling over with new residents. Secondly, Measure A changed the text of Section 1504 to include a “public review process to consider adding two Council offices to the Council…” which, after completed, would result in a Council “vote on whether to submit to the voters a ballot measure adding

two Council offices…” This critical change effectively emasculated the impact that this important section had in automatically maintaining proper, if not merely adequate, city council representation for Fresnans. Now, because of Measure A, some type of “public review process” would have to be implemented before a Council vote could be cast. All of this just to see if a ballot measure for adding new councilmembers could be presented to voters. Aargh. Why is this so convoluted and complicated? Frankly speaking, because power doesn’t like to be shared. If two new council districts were created here in Fresno, that would mean that existing council district boundaries would have to be redrawn. True, more people would gain more representation - a necessity. But, with new and different district boundaries come less consolidation of city control - a threat. That is, the necessity of better city representation for Fresnans is perceived as a threat by certain individuals who don’t want to relinquish their control, or who don’t want to share citywide influence and power more equitably. Clearly, this kind of politics is in stark contrast to voters’ original 1992 intention of permanently ensuring equitable representation by including Section 1504 in the City Charter. In 1992, Fresno’s population was less than 400,000. Now, compare that with today’s 536,600 - we are the 5th largest city in California - with about a 40% population increase over the past 30 years. Yet,

| FRESNOFLYER.COM |

over these past 30 years, we’ve had no more than 7 councilmembers. And, perhaps that was fine then when each councilmember represented an average of 55,000 Fresnans. But today, with still only 7 councilmembers to represent us, each councilmember now has about 76,600 constituents to serve. What a substantial increase! How does this stack up against our nearby sister cities? Well, take Oakland and Bakersfield, for example. With considerably fewer people, 432,900 and 389,200, respectively, both cities have 7 councilmembers. Now, contrast this with Sacramento and Long Beach, still with less people than Fresno, 508,200 and 475,000, respectively: they each have 9 councilmembers. Clearly, Fresno is behind the times and needs to catch up with its representation. Today, we are a thriving city that is making moves to become another one of California’s favorite destination cities, a vibrant community in the Central Valley with attainable aspirations. But, our voices can’t be adequately heard if we are not correctly represented at City Hall. And, as our collective population increases, if our voices aren’t heard there, then our city vision will become clouded and skewed, and our Fresno future unclear. It’s been nearly 30 years since Fresnans spoke up to make sure they were properly represented in their town - and despite the Measure A setback, Fresno voters are still poised for citywide growth and modernization. So, isn’t it about time for Fresno to get

its representation back on track and get with the program so that we can all collectively move forward in the growth of our city? Isn’t it about time that we were rightfully represented in our city? --This article is open for discussion - Please chime in - Let us know what you think!

SEC. 1504. Expansion of Council Membership (a) Full Text At such time as the population of the City of Fresno reaches 650,000, the Council shall establish a public review process to consider adding two Council offices to the Council designated as Councilmember Number 8 and Councilmember Number 9. For making a determination as to whether the 650,000 population figure has been reached, the City shall utilize census data from the Demographic Research Unit of the State Department of Finance issued annually on May 1st or a similarly reliable source of population figures in the event the Demographic Research Unit no longer provides such information. Within 180 days of receipt of validated population figures evidencing this population total, the Council shall commence the public review process. Once that is completed, Council shall vote on whether to submit to the voters, a ballot measure adding two Council offices. If the measure receives a majority of votes cast, Council shall redraw the Council district boundaries, to reflect the two additional Council seats in accordance with the applicable laws.
