KING OF RANT Comedian Louis Black tells it like it is at MontBleu nown as the king of the rant, Lewis Black uses his trademark style of comedic yelling and animated finger-pointing to skewer anything and anyone that gets under his skin. His comedic brilliance lies in his ability to make people laugh at the absurdities of life, with topics that include current events, social media, politics and anything else that exposes the hypocrisy and madness he sees in the world. Receiving critical acclaim as a stand-up, actor and author, Lewis Black has performed for audiences throughout Europe, New Zealand, Canada and The United States. In 2012, he performed eight sell-out shows at The Richard
Rodgers Theatre on Broadway. In 1996, his friend Lizz Winstead tapped him to create a weekly segment for a show she was producing on Comedy Central called “The Daily Show.” The segment, a three minute rant about whatever was bothering him at the moment, evolved into Back in Black. It became one of the most popular and longest running segments on the show and also created a long and successful relationship with the network. Black will be on stage at the MontBleu Resort Casino in Stateline on Friday, Feb. 6. Tickets start at $45.50. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster.com or the resort website: www.montbleuresort.com. F

Deanna Carter graces Jackpot stage
D
Work of Mexican artist Romero on display at NMA RENO
JACKPOT
eana Carter didn’t find an easy route to stardom, but instead chose to defy the conventional expectations of the typical Nashville artist blueprint and make her own mark. And she did, undeniably taking the industry and fans by storm with her wildly successful multi-platinum international debut “Did I Shave My Legs For This?” more than a decade ago. Anchored by the dreamy super hit “Strawberry Wine,” Carter showcased her own blend of country and retro-rock sprinkled with the folksy singer/songwriter qualities that have garnered Deana Carter well-deserved respect and wild acclaim. Carter will perform Saturday, Feb. 21 at Cactus Petes Resort Casino in Jackpot. Today, as she readies her latest bundle of uniquely crafted tunes for upcoming release on Southern Way of Life, Carter explores many subjects commonly shared over a quaint dinner, afternoon coffee or a sunny day hike with a good friend. The songs weave through the sometimes rocky terrain of adulthood, including loss of love, relationships on many different levels, trials, tribulations and simply put – life. Instinctively autobiographical, the subject matter mimics the interesting ride of Carter’s own life – so far. The daughter of famed studio guitarist and producer Fred Carter, Jr., Deana grew up exposed to the wide variety of musicians her father
worked with, including Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Waylon Jennings, and Simon & Garfunkel. Their strong influence would eventually seep into Deana’s own country-pop style, which reflects qualities that can also be heard in similar artists such as Mary Chapin Carpenter and Sheryl Crow. Developing her songwriting skills by trial and error at writer’s nights throughout Nashville, Carter eventually signed a writing deal with Polygram and soon after a record deal with Capitol Records. One of her demo tapes happened to fall into the hands of none other than Willie Nelson, who remembered Deana as a child. Impressed with how she’d grown as a songwriter, Nelson asked Deana to perform along with John Mellencamp, Kris Kristofferson and Neil Young as the only female solo artist to appear at Farm Aid VII in 1994. Carter now divides her time between Los Angeles and Nashville, writing and
producing for both the pop/ rock and country markets when not on the road touring. Tickets for this concert event start at $30 and are available through Ticketmaster. com. For more information visit www.ameristar. com/cactus-petes. F
The Nevada Museum of Art presents artist Betsabeé Romero’s first solo museum exhibition in the western United States. One of the most revered Mexican artists of her generation, Romero is known for combining indigenous and folkloric designs with non-traditional art-making materials, and for creating inventive installations inspired by literature and diverse cultures. The artist will create a series of four new installations for the exhibition, with an over-
riding thematic focus on transportation—both literal and metaphorical. The display is housed in the Contemporary Gallery at the NMA, showing Jan. 31 - July 5, 2015. The Nevada Museum of Art is located at 160 West Liberty St., Reno. For more information visit nevadaart. org or call (775) 329-3333. F

ack in the 20s, the saxophone was the hot instrument to play. Vaudeville shows, sax ensembles and other “big band” sounds put stars in the eyes of many a budding player.
“SAX-Sational” showcases the most unusual saxophones ever manufactured and the classic melodies that popularized this warm-
ly embraced and versatile musical instrument. The show explores over a half century of jazz classics and the contributions of artists such as Stan Getz, Sidney Bechet, Charlie Parker, Paul Desmond, Gerry Mulligan, John Coltrane, Frankie Trambauer, Rudy Weideoft and others. Performing at the Laurena Moren Auditorium, Elko Convention Center on Friday, Feb. 27. Tickets are available at the door. More information is available at www.cot.gbcnr.edu. F

‘Memphis’ musical has won four Tony Awards
S
RENO
et in the turbulent south in the 1950s, Memphis is the story of Huey Calhoun, a white radio DJ whose love of good music transcends race lines and airwaves. Thanks in part to his passionate persistence, “race” music reaches the center of the radio dial, quickly exploding throughout mainstream America. But when Huey falls for a beautiful black singer he has set on the path to stardom, whether the world is really ready for this music, and their love, is put to the test. The elements that make Memphis one of the best shows around sound like Musical Theater 101 — but you’ll seldom find them all in one package: an original story, a score you actually want to hear again, genuine emotions and charismatic
lead performances. The secret weapon in this crowd-pleasing musical is David Bryan’s score, written with lyricist Joe DiPietro. Who knew that a founding member of Bon Jovi would turn out to be a natural at writing for the stage? “Memphis” will be performed Feb. 6 - 8 at the Pio-
neer Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Reno. Curtain up Friday at 8 p.m.; Saturday at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. and Sunday 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets start at $45. The Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts is located at 100 South Virginia St, Reno. For more information visit pioneercenter.com. F

Performances are set for Sunday, Feb. 15 at 4 p.m. and Tuesday, Feb. 17 at 7:30 p.m. The Reno Philharmonic performs at the Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts. Debussy’s ethereal “Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun” opens the concert, followed in contrast by the riveting sounds of Mohammed Fairouz’ Violin Concerto “Al-Andalus,” as interpreted by the dynamic, world-class soloist, Chloe Hanslip, a brilliant violinist on the international stage. At 28, Chloë Hanslip has already established herself as an artist of distinction on the international stage. Prodigiously talented, she made her BBC Proms debut in 2002 and her US concerto debut in 2003, and has performed at major venues in the UK (Royal Festival Hall, Wigmore Hall), Europe (Vienna Musikverein, Hamburg Laeiszhalle, Paris Louvre and Salle Gaveau, St Petersburg Hermitage) as well as Carnegie Hall, Metropolitan Arts Space in Tokyo and the Seoul Arts Centre. Hanslip’s wide-ranging repertoire spans Concertos by Britten, Prokofiev, Beethoven, Brahms, Korngold, Barber, Bernstein, Delius, Mendelssohn, Bruch, Elgar, Tchaikovsky, Walton and Sibelius as well as contemporary works by Adams, Glass, Corigliano, Nyman, Huw Watkins, Peter Maxwell Davies and Brett Dean.

Each year for the last 10 years, Sambunaris (American, born 1964) has set out from her home in New York to cross the United States by car, alone with her camera. Her photographs capture the expansive American landscape and the natural and fabricated adaptations that appear throughout it. In conjunction with the Lannan Foundation in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the Nevada Museum of Art presents a selection of approximately 40 photographs from Sambunaris’s body of work, marking the artist’s first solo exhibition at a major American museum. Hauntingly beautiful in their documentation of the declining American terrain, Sambunaris’s images celebrate the intersection of civilization, geology, and natural history, featuring trains in Texas and Wyoming, trucks in New Jersey and Wisconsin, the oil pipeline in Alaska, uranium tailings in Utah, and a unique view of Arizona’s Petrified Forest. Together, they present a sparse and vast landscape dotted by human intervention that is distinctly American. The exhibition will also include a comprehensive archival

installation featuring maps, journals, and additional records of the artist’s travels. Born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1964, Victoria Sambunaris documents, through the lens of her camera, the vast terrain of the United States and the impact that humans have had on the natural landscape. Sambunaris received a BA from Mount Vernon College in 1986 and an MFA from Yale University School of Art in 1999. Her work has been widely exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the

umboldt County Library is pleased to announce “Honest Horses: A Portrait of the Mustang in the Great Basin” on display through March 8. Tis Nevada Arts Council traveling exhibition features photographs by Paula Morin depicting an uncommon view of the significance of the wild horse to the Great Basin. Wild horses conjure up an image of mythical proportions. Not only are they a reminder of our country’s emergence as a nation, their role in the evolution and history of the American West and their impact on Native American culture is profound. The original photographs and narratives were made during 1999-2001, during which time Paula Morin photographed wild horse herds in their natural surroundings and recorded her discussions with people whose lives are most intimately connected with them. A synergy of image and word portrays the intricate relationship of wild horses to the culture and landscape of the Great Basin — from yesteryear to the present. The exhibition contains 21 giclee prints made from Morin’s original handpainted black and white photographs and is accompanied by an education guide written by Steve

Horse Heaven Hills and Greywacke Winery
Christmas, New Years are Champagne’s time to shine The Horse Heaven Hills appellation is one of the largest grape growing regions in Washington state, yet we doubt many wine enthusiasts are even aware of it. Supplying a quarter of the state’s wine, Horse Heaven Hills has gained a lot of respect for producing some of the Northwest’s best wines. This year the region is celebrating its 10-year anniversary. It was named by cowboy James Kinney for the abundance of grass available to his horses. Don and Linda Mercer were the first to plant grapes in the region. The first winery, opened in 1983, was Columbia Crest, which still today is making excellent, inexpensive wines. Here are some wines from Horse Heaven Hills that we recommend to get acquainted:
Mercer Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 ($14). From a reputable appellation of the Columbia Valley, this Horse Heaven Hills cabernet is a great value with ripe cherry and blueberry notes. It is blended with merlot, malbec and petit verdot.
Mercer Horse Heaven Hills Chardonnay Reserve 2013 ($32). Tropical fruit notes dominate this smooth chardonnay. Notes of vanilla and spice.
H3 Horse Heaven Hills Merlot 2012 ($15). Another great value in merlot, this wine offers the aromas and flavors that you expect from the grape variety. Loads of ripe cherry flavors and a soft mouthfeel. Coyote Canyon H/H Estates Michael Andrews Red Reserve 2010 ($38). A blend of tempranillo and graciano, this is quite a delicious treat. Round black berry fruit with doses of mineral, toffee and tobacco. Full bodied.
Alexandria Nicole Cellars Quarry Butte Destiny Ridge Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2011 ($25). Other than having to clean up this confusing label, there is nothing wrong with this delightfully ripe and delicious blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, syrah, malbec, cabernet franc and petit verdot. Loaded with black cherry flavors, vanilla and cassis. McKinley Springs Malbec ($24). It’s hard not to enjoy this smooth, jammy malbec with blueberry notes and dashes of clove, pepper and cinnamon.
Wines from Greywacke Kevin Judd is an interesting fellow. In addition to founding the New Zealand boutique Greywacke (pronounced greywacky) winery in 2009 he is an acclaimed photographer of wine related subjects and landscapes in his adopted country with two published books on the subject. Born in England he came to New Zealand via Australia where he helped found renowned New Zealand sauvignon banc producer Cloudy Bay in the mid 1980’s. Kevin

left Cloudy Bay after 25 years as winemaker We recently met Kevin and had the opportunity to taste his current offerings. Kevin explained that the name greywacke refers to the abundance of rounded bedrock river stones that cover the vineyards that he sources his fruit. Pictures of these rock strewn source vineyards are reminiscent of the vineyards of Chateauneuf–du-Pape in France, and the wine growing area of The Rocks of Milton-Freewater in Walla Walla Washington, that we visited earlier this year. Although his focus is sauvignon blanc and pinot noir, Greywacke also produces pinot gris and chardonnay for the American market. We found the quality of Kevin’s wines to be quite good but were especially taken by two of his current offerings.
The Greywacke Wild Sauvignon Marlborough 2012 ($29) was exceptional. Kevin commented that this sauvignon blanc is “for people that don’t like sauvignon blanc”, likely the result of ripe fruit and fermentation in old oak barrels to tone down the abundant herbaceousness in some New Zealand sauvignon blanc. The wine displayed a ripe peach and citrus nose and flavors and a very rich and round expression in the mouth. The “wild” in the name refers to utilizing all native yeasts and a distinctive hands off approach to making the wine. We also were very impressed with the Greywacke Pinot Noir Marlborough 2012 ($41), which exhibited a complex mélange of bright intense cherry fruit and an underlying spice element that created a very enticing drinkable package. These wines may be a little hard to find but are worth seeking out. F

Cold weather is Zinfandel weather!
When the temperatures dip and we find ourselves grouped around fire places and televisions, we know it’s time to open zinfandel. For those of you spending the winter in cold-weather states, zinfandel complements the temperatures like peanut butter and jelly. Although we like an occasional summer zin with ribs and other barbecued meats, we associate this high-alcohol, jammy wine with winter foods – stews, daubes, pot roasts, pizza and burgers. Zinfandel is largely an all-American grape variety, although it has the DNA of primitive grown in Italy and elsewhere in Europe. It was once the favorite of Italian immigrants who launched this nation’s wine industry. It was once our favorite too, but its jammy character has made it a special occasion wine today. Nonetheless, we are often surprised when we revisit the grape variety and find a lot of complex wines being made by notable California winemakers who have made zinfandel their specialty. Two decades or so ago California zinfandels were on a path to incredibly intense fruit bombs with winemakers producing more and more alcohol in their wines. When some zinfandels reached 17 percent alcohol content, they became hard to match with food. Edmeades, a producer of very well-crafted zinfandels in Mendocino County, has maintained a more moderate path with wines that most consumers would consider medium-bodied, although their alcohols can reach 15.5 percent. We find ourselves reaching for these more moderate expressions of the zinfandel grape, and found a lot to like during a recent tasting
moderate but still provides the body the wine needs. Raspberry and cassis abound.
Ravenswood Winery Dickerson Zinfandel 2012 ($37). From Napa Valley, this zinfandel has sweet and fresh raspberry fruit and a hint of mint. of Edmeades single vineyard wines. Ravenswood is another zinfandel producer we like. Winemaker Joel Peterson has been turning out some incredibly complex, single-vineyard zinfandels since their debut in 1982. The iconic Ravenswood label has been a steady success year to year because Peterson has concentrated on vineyard sourcing and deployed native yeasts, open-top fermenters, punchdowns and oak aging to get the most out of the grapes. Here are some of the wines we enjoyed recently:
Edmeades Zinfandel Piffero Vineyard Mendocino Ridge 2012 ($31). Very
soft and round and pleasant to drink with 1 percent syrah added to the blend.
Edmeades Zinfandel Shamrock Vineyard 2012 ($31). With 16 percent syrah,
this was a bit more intense with abundant berry fruit that would stand up well to food.
Edmeades Zinfandel Perli Vineyards 2012 ($31).
Our favorite of the Edmeades was 81 percent zinfandel, 16 percent merlot, and 3 percent syrah. Very intense sweet and round berry fruit, with some nice spice notes. A bit more complexity than the previous three wines.
Ravenswood Winery Old Hill Zinfandel 2012 ($60). With assertive aromas of chocolate and cedar, this delicious Sonoma Valley zin has been a perennial favorite. At 15 percent, the alcohol is
Ravenswood Winery Teldeschi Zinfandel 2012 ($37). This version from Dry
Creek Valley has more sweet cherry flavors with hints of vanilla and mocha. Smooth texture with petite sirah and carignane added to the blend.
Ravenswood Besieged 2013 ($15). This hearty
blend of zinfandel, petite sirah and carignane offers a lively wine with blackberry and cherry flavors and a nice dose of spice. Good value.
Renwood Zinfandel California 2012 ($15). This
zinfandel offers ripe cherry and berry fruit in the nose and mouth. Very rich and round with a appropriate oak frame and long satisfying finish, and is great to drink just by itself.
Renwood Old Vine Zinfandel 2012 ($20). From the
hot Amador County, this ripe zinfandel has lots of blackberry and cranberry flavors with hints of thyme and fennel. It is blended with petite sirah, syrah and mourvedre.
