COVER STORY

Music from the Heart

Winnemucca Country and Bluegrass Festival rounds up plenty of talent Headling act Monroe Crossing hail from Minnesota

I

Monroe Crossing

WINNEMUCCA

t's a little bit bluegrass.

It's a little bit country — but it all promises to be fun!

The second annual Winnemucca Country and Bluegrass Festival kicks off at noon on Saturday, June 8, with the tunes continuing through 6 p.m.

Sunday night.

Pioneer Park, located just off US Hwy. 95 a bit northeast of downtown Winnemucca, is the venue for this entertaining event.

In addition to the 10 bands scheduled to hit the stage, organizers have coordinated a Dutch oven demonstration, a unique "Musical Instrument Petting Zoo" plus nearly two dozen booths with vendors and all things delicious, decadent and desirable.

The best part? It's free!

Headlining the fun is Monroe Crossing. This group dazzles audiences with an electrifying blend of classic bluegrass, bluegrass gospel, and heartfelt originals. Their airtight harmonies, razor sharp arrangements, and on-stage rapport make them audience favorites across the United States and Canada.

Named in honor of Bill Monroe, “The Father of Bluegrass Music,” Monroe Crossing dazzles audiences with an electrifying blend of classic bluegrass, bluegrass gospel, and heartfelt originals. Their airtight harmonies, razor sharp arrangements, and on-stage rapport make them audience favorites across the United States and Canada.

Based in Minnesota, the

group plays an average of 125 shows a year at major venues and festivals, frequently for nonbluegrass audiences — and people often comment that they’d never really liked bluegrass music until they attended a Monroe Crossing concert!

Monroe Crossing is made up of five very distinct personalities with differing musical backgrounds and tastes, combining for a very unique ensemble sound. They are Derek Johnson: guitar, lead & harmony vocals; Lisa Fuglie: fiddle, mandolin, lead & harmony vocals; Matt Thompson: mandolin, fiddle, baritone vocals; Mark Anderson: bass & bass vocals; and David Robinson: banjo. Their paths

6 | Inside Northern Nevada | JUNE 2013

crossed through the music of Bill Monroe so they like to say they had a “Monroe Crossing.”

Among their many honors, Monroe Crossing was selected to showcase at the 2007 International Bluegrass Music Association Convention and they were inducted into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame in 2007. The only bluegrass band ever nominated as “Artist of the Year” by the Minnesota Music Academy (MMA), Monroe Crossing won the 2003 MMA “Bluegrass Album of the Year” award. The group also took home four awards — for Female Vocalist, Guitar, Mandolin and Banjo — at the Minnesota Bluegrass and OldTime Music Association’s 25th

Mary Kaye Knaphus Anniversary Awards Banquet.

Also on stage will be Western singer Mary Kaye — a favorite with audiences wherever cowboys (real or cowboys-at-heart) are found. Strange on the Range, playing old time and Bluegrass music will also appear, as will Joey Carmon with his "Guitar

Man tribute to Jerry Reed."

The Mountain Girls promise to get audiences hootin' and hollerin.' "The Mountain Girls sound like what would happen if the Andrews Sisters had children with Riders in the Sky. These four gals are excellent musicians, and sing like a cowgirl choir," audiences say.

Dusty Ham and the Smoking Guns, Peter Granath and the Lucky Strikes, Wyat Troxel, Winnemucca favorites What's Next and other local talent rounds out the fun on stage.

So make plans to bring your lawn chairs and your Bluegrass boots to Pioneer Park in Winnemucca for this fun event.

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band still rolling on Iconic roots rock masters on stage in Wendover

T

he iconic and profoundly influential Nitty Gritty Dirt Band continues to add to their legendary status.

Often cited as a catalyst for an entire movement in Country Rock and American Roots Music, the band will perform Saturday, June 22 at the Wendover Concert Hall beginning at 7 p.m.

Tickets start at $10.

With multi-platinum and gold records, strings of top ten hits such as “Fishin’ In The Dark” and “Mr. Bojangles”, multiple Grammy, IBMA, CMA Awards and nominations, the band’s accolades continue to

accumulate.

NGDB (Jeff Hanna, Jimmie Fadden, Bob Carpenter, John McEuen) are touring in support of their most recent release, the critically acclaimed album “Speed of Life” (2009, SugarHill Records) with recent tour stops at Bonnaroo and Levon Helm’s Midnight Ramble.

Dirt Band's Circle Album Reissued for 40th Anniversary The great irony of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's landmark 1972 release Will the Circle Be Unbroken is that nobody realized how truly groundbreaking it was at the time.

A generation-straddling collaboration between "West Coast longhairs" the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and bluegrass, folk and country legends like Doc Watson, Maybelle Carter and

Earl Scruggs, it was considered something of a vanity project at the time.

"We had just had a major pop hit with 'Mr. Bojangles,' so our band was all over the charts and on pop radio, especially," recalls band member Jeff Hanna.

"So we had the leverage to make Will the Circle Be Unbroken. If we had not had that hit, our record company wouldn't have given us the freedom and budget to make a record. But we were so passionate in wanting to do the Circle record, and they said, 'Well, go ahead. You're not totally crazy. You just had this hit song.'"

Niki Chapin (left) and Amaya Criswell (right) perform a Basque dance for the crowd at a recent Winnemucca Basque Festival. The bright whirling skirts and unique laced leather slippers are traditional garments, as are kerchief caps for the girls and black or red berets for the boys.

Wikipedia’s entry for “Basque” on the Internet shows two Basque Festival photos — one from a town in Argentina, and the other — the Winnemucca Nevada Basque Festival Parade.

After enjoying the parade, you’re already right where you need to be, because the Basque Festival activities are being held on Nixon lawn at the corner of Winnemucca Blvd. and Melarkey St., and opening ceremonies start at noon.

There is no charge to attend the Basque festival itself, but bring your wallet, because Basque chorizos will be served all day long and the Basque festival late lunch/early dinner meal is served between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. This luscious meal features steak or solomo sandwiches, famous Basque lamb stew, salad, beans, bread and

dessert. Basque drinks — and other, more ordinary beverages are also for sale at the festival.

Basque games, including a weight-lifting competiton among other contests, and performances by Basque dancers will run all afternoon from about 12:45 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

In addition to several groups of Winnemucca Basque dancers (the littlest dancers, older children , teens, and adults) Basque clubs from Elko, Reno, Battle Mountain and Boise are sending dancers.

If the Basque music playing throughout the festival activities isn't enough, starting at 6 p.m.

Saturday night there will a band for everyone to dance to on the Nixon lawn. In a repeat performance, the popular western band“What’s Next” will play for

the dance.

Paige Brooks, knee deep in festival preparations said, of the band, “we’ve had them play for the festival before — they’re good!

After a little sleep, you’ll be ready for Sunday’s festival activities. Mass is an option at Winnemucca’s beautiful and historic St. Paul’s Catholic Church. A traditional Basque breakfast is being cooked by the Winnemucca Basque Club and served from 9 a.m. to noon, and there will be more Basque dancing.

Come share the color, culture and cuisine of the Winnemucca Basque Festival.

FALLON

From June 1–14 the gallery will feature the watercolor landscapes of Reno resident and native Nevadan Jeannette Hale.

Hale has a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Dominican University, Calif., and her work is displayed in both Fallon and Austin. Using her digital photos to select a picture to paint, she then studies the scene or object — dissect it into shapes and colours and then creates a painting which is unique. She prefers landscapes because they are so alive. Hale has an art teaching certificate, taught in the Lyon County School District and an art instructor for Rising Sun Gallery and Art Studios.

Award winning oil and acrylic artist Rita McFadden, scenic photographer Matthew Tholl, and the original crewel embroidery of Edna Van Leuven will also be returning for the first half of the gallery's June double header.

Malian songbird on stage in Fallon

S

FALLON

he's been around the world and entertained audiences with her meaningful lyrics and beautiful voice.

Fatoumata Diawara will be on stage in Fallon at the Oats Park Art Center on Saturday, June 15.

Diawara was born of Malian parents in the Ivory Coast in 1982.

As a child she became a member of her father’s dance troupe and was a popular performer of the wildly flailing didadi dance from Wassoulou, her ancestral home in western Mali.

Her aunt was an actress, and a few years after arriving, Diawara found herself on a film set looking after her aunt’s infant child. The film’s director was captivated by Diawara’s adolescent beauty and she was given a oneline part in the final scene of the film Taafe Fangan (The Power of Women). This led to a lead role

www.insidenorthernnevada.com

in a film by the celebrated director Cheick Omar Sissoko: 1999’s La Genèse (Genesis).

After years on the stage and in movies, her friend Rokia Traoré, inspired her to take up the guitar. Diawara bought a guitar and started to teach herself and to write down her own compositions.

She made the decision to dedicate herself to her passion: music. She worked to complete an album’s worth of songs and started recording demos for which she composed and arranged all of the tracks, as well as playing guitar, percussion, bass, and singing lead and harmony vocals. An introduction from Oumou Sangaré resulted in a record deal with World Circuit and the recording of her debut album.

Between recording sessions she found time to collaborate on Damon Albarn’s Africa Express

and contribute vocals to albums

by Cheikh Lô, AfroCubism, Herbie Hancock’s Grammy–winning Imagine Project and Orchestra Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou.

Diawara’s EP "Kanou" was released by World Circuit in Europe in the spring of 2011, followed by her debut album Fatou in the fall, when Nonesuch Records released the Kanou EP in the US. Fatou will be released by Nonesuch Records in the US on August 28, 2012.

Following the release, Diawara performed as part of Damon Albarn’s album and live project Rocket Juice and the Moon, which featured himself, Tony Allen, and guitarist Flea.

Presented by the Churchill Arts Council, tickets are $17 for CAC members and $20 for the general public. For more information or advance tickets call (776) 423-1440, or visit www. churchillarts.org. 

mall town atmosphere and charm abound in the town of Lamoille, nestled at the base of the majestic Ruby Mountains.

For 364 days of the year, the residents of this small rural town go about their daily business waving graciously to tourists who stop long enough for both a cold drink and a bite to eat or, for the opportunity of an up-close look at the numerous deer known to reside throughout the community.

But, there’s that one day a year when the town becomes an oasis for artists and vendors hoping to entice both the population of neighboring cities and visitors alike as the Lamoille Women’s Club host their annual Country Fair.

Local Boy Scout Troop members volunteer their services to assist motorists in locating parking spots along the usually quiet streets, or in one of the many fields converted to temporary parking lots. Visitors can opt to either walk from the parking area to the Fair entrance, or ride in a buckboard wagon or van.

Booths fill the Lamoille Grove displaying an abundance of beautifully handmade wares including garden art, pottery, jewelry, dolls, stained glass, quilts, furniture, metal work,

Don’t forget to purchase your raffle tickets for the annual quilt raffle. This year’s quilt is an 89”X89” created by club member Joyce Kay and quilted by Sharon Thompson of Quilt Mania. Aptly named, “A Walk in the Canyon,” this beautiful quilt pattern sports vibrant colors and is based on a theme evoking the beauty of Lamoille Canyon. Tickets $1 each, or 6 for $5, and you need not be present to win.

While admission is free to the public, proceeds from the annual Fair benefit a variety of Lamoille Women’s Club projects, scholarships, and activities within the community.

Lincoln Highway Celebration

Commemorative mugs and a 100thAnniversary Tour greet travelers this June

I

n 1913, the Lincoln Highway became America’s first coast-to-coast road, paralleling many sections of the 1860 Pony Express mail route.

Today’s Lincoln Highway in Nevada is U.S. Highway 50 running through the heart of the state and known around the world as “The Loneliest Road in America.”

To celebrate the route’s 100th anniversary, seven Highway 50 communities—Dayton, Fallon, Fernley, Austin, Eureka, Ely, and Great Basin National Park—will reward travelers with commemorative coffee mugs (while supplies last) during the month of June.

“Each of our six historic towns and one national park visitor’s center will offer a special commemorative coffee mug toward a collectible set,” said Nevada’s Pony Express Territory President, Rick Gray. This area of Nevada is where the Pony Express riders once galloped along its main trail (now Hwy 50) through Dayton, Fallon, Fernley, Austin, Eureka, Ely and Great Basin National Park.

“Each coffee mug will feature an iconic photo of that town specific to Lincoln Highway,” continued Gray.

The Lincoln Highway Association has set two official tours to start June 22 in San Francisco and New York. The West tour route from San Francisco

WINE & SPIRITS TASTING NOTES

Heritance Winery founded by pair of winemaking greats The

WINE GUYS

Tom Marquardt and Patrick Darr

Former Clos du Val winemaker favors elegant wines over jammy fruitbombs After making wine since 1972 for Clos du Val, Bernard Portet was a couple of years into retirement when he ran into Don Chase in a parking lot. Chase had worked with Portet at Clos du Val and recently had left Kunde winery. He was looking for a job when the thought crossed their minds that they could work together. It didn’t take much to convince Portet, who already had missed the experience.

Chase offered to be the business manager and CEO. After an investor was found, all Portet had to do was make good wine. And good it is.

Heritance is now in its second 32 | Inside Northern Nevada | JUNE 2013

year and trying hard to show consumers that a restrained wine with elegance is better than a jammy, extracted wine with high alcohol. It is a course correction that is just budding in the industry - and one we welcome with open arms.

Portet’s name gives Heritance a jump start in the market place. He comes from a long history of winemakers - his father was the estate manager for Chateau Lafite and taught Bernard about winemaking before he came to the United States. Bernard was making Clos du Val wines in a French style that was unique in the 1970s. His wine was one of a few to out-perform French Bordeaux in the famous Judgment in Paris tasting in 1976.

We have been fans of the old Clos du Val for years and were pleased to reunite with Bernard to taste his new wines.

Heritance combines “heritage” and “inheritance” to denote Portet’s 9 generations of winemaking history. He calls the operation a “winery without walls” because the company, called Polaris, owns no vineyards or winemaking facilities. He buys juice from growers who he has known and trusted for years and contracts with wineries to make the wine. That spares Polaris the capital expense of buying pricey vineyard property at $300,000 an acre, a crushing facility, barrels and

tanks, bottling equipment and everything else that prohibits a start-up winery for all but the rich.

Of course, that sort of arrangement comes with challenges. He has to work with grape growers to get the fruit he wants and what is available to him one year may not be available the next year.

“It’s not quite as simple or automatic,” he says.

For instance, he had to pass on some semillon he wanted for his sauvignon blanc because he wasn’t satisfied with the quality of the fruit. Instead, he found some good roussanne that he blended with the current release of sauvignon blanc. The 2010 and 2011 wines are totally different as a result, so consumers just have to go with the flow. Both wines are delicious, but we preferred the one blended with semillon.

The common thread in all of his wines is restraint. Alcohol levels are at 14-15 percent where they used to be before winemakers embraced the super-ripe, dense red wine style. The less intense aromas tease rather than clobber the palate.

When Portet made wine for Clos du Val there were 25 or so wineries in California; today there are more than 450. His challenge to sell wine is much

greater is such a competitive market.

But putting his name behind a wine certainly gives him a better chance than the rookies.

Here are some wines to try: Heritance Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2011 ($24). The 12 percent roussanne in this blend adds a unique profile that we haven’t tasted until now. Roussanne tames the natural acidity in the sauvignon blanc yet retains the varietal flavors, like citrus and grapefruit. It’s a perfect match to oysters.

Heritance Stanly Ranch Pinot Noir 2011 ($45). Stanly Ranch is a well respected vineyard in Carneros and provides fruit for other pinot noir producers. This is Heritance’s first pinot noir and Portet has strived to make it elegant, not jammy like so many other pinot noirs.

Nandu Mendoza Malbec 2010 ($21). Portet has made wine in four continents, including South America.

This Argentine malbec is blended with 2 percent cabernet sauvignon that Portet says is meant to revive the muted tannins in malbec. It’s a delicious wine with meaty, blackberry and blueberry flavors, a creamy mouthfeel and a long finish. It’s a good value.

Heritance Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 ($36).

Blended with 4 percent merlot and 2 percent petit verdot, this elegant cabernet is a good deal. Elegant and restrained in style, it won’t overpower food. Fresh blackberry fruit warms the palate. Its complexity builds after the wine breathes. We also tasted the 2008 (he didn’t make a 2009), which was riper and very enjoyable but probably no longer on the market.  www.insidenorthernnevada.com

Tips from the experts —

Great finds for $20 or less The

WINE GUYS Recommend

Tom Marquardt and Patrick Darr

Troublemaker Blend 4 ($20). Made by Austin Hope, this blend of syrah, mourvedre, grenache and petite sirah come from the 2011 and 2010 vintages. The winemaker is simply looking for good flavor at a decent price without regard to any loyalty to the vintage or to the grape variety.

It works. The wine has rich mouthfeel with dark berries and dashes of chocolate and leather.

Cline Cellars Oakley 82 White ($10).

Cline Cellars is a pro at making value wines. The Oakley White and Red blends are excellent values.

The white is a blend of sauvignon blanc, palomino, viognier, malvasia bianca and semillon. The motley collection leads to a melange of flavors: grapefruit, citrus, stone pit fruit. The red, equally a good value, is a blend of syrah, merlot, barbera, zinfandel, alicante bouschet and cabernet franc.

The wines are hardly pretentious at this price and makeup, but they are undeniably delicious.

Scaia Corvina 2011 ($11). You may have to have your retailer order this Italian gem because it will be hard to find. But we bring it to your attention because of its value and unique quality. Made entirely of corvina grapes, it has generous aromas of violets and plums. The flavors are simple and make for a good match with pasta and other light fare.

Tower 15 Petite Sirah 2010 ($19). Typically opaque in color, this tasty petite sirah has abundant, jammy blackberry and plum notes on the nose and palate with a dash of kirsch and black pepper. Soft but full-bodied.

Tasca D’Almerita Regaleali Bianco IGT Sicily 2011 ($13-15). Composed of indigenous Sicilian white grapes this wine offers a delightful fruity nose of pears and flowers. Beautiful medium bodied pear flavors that would be the perfect foil for any non- tomato sauced chicken or fish Italian food . A very satisfying wine.

net franc, 40 percent merlot and 10 percent cabernet sauvignon, this modestly priced wine is drinking beautifully now, but can easily age 3-5 years and shed some of its tannins. Cherry fruit, good structure, and typical 2010 tannins come together to create a great cold weather/hearty food wine.

Two Angels Sauvignon Blanc High Valley California 2012 ($16). Entirely stainless-

of the

MONTH

steel fermented, this wine is a very complex yet classic California sauvignon blanc that demands attention. A very nice citrus nose gives way to a full spectrum of flavors from herbal /grassy to citrus and ripe tropical fruit. Yummy!

Bridlewood Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2011 ($15). This is an excellent value for quality cabernet. What it lacks in depth it excels in hedonistic pleasure. Black berries and chocolate note

Vinhas Altas Reserve Tejo Portugal 2010 ($10). The blend is 40 percent touriga nacional, 35 percent castelao, and 25 percent trincadeira. This wine exhibits a very fresh blueberry and raspberry nose and flavors with a tiny hint of toasty oak. This is a beautiful wine for summer quaffing and can be chilled to 55-60 degrees for outdoor drinking this summer.

Trivento Malbec Reserve Mendoza 2011 ($14). Plum and berry notes in the nose with earthy notes. Berry flavors and a bit of earth in the mouth add complexity to this delicious Argentine malbec.

Estancia Pinot Grigio 2010 ($15). Those of you who like your pinot grigio will be pleased by this California version. Nice peach and pear notes with a dash of spice and lemon on the finish. Estancia is making some of the best wines for the price. The unoaked chardonnay ($13) is a real treat and the pinot noir ($16) is one of the best in the market for the price. This is a brand worth seeking out.

Von Siebenthal Parcela #7 2009 ($17).

We liked this nicely priced red blend from Chile.

It is made up of cabernet sauvignon (40 percent), merlot, petit verdot and cabernet franc. Floral aromas with sweet berry and plum flavors and a good dose of oak and a dash of olives and rosemary.

Chateau Roques Mauriac Bordeaux 2010 ($15). This is a great example of a humble

Bodegas Y Vinedos Fournier Urban 2009 ($12). Aged in oak for four months, this

AOC Bordeaux that is drinking way above its price point and pedigree. A blend of 50 percent caber-

delightful gem is made from tinta del pais grapes.

Ripe, blackberry flavors with distinctive style. 
