They’re what happens when a group of kids take a chance on a long shot and – against all odds – it pays off. There’s also a Blur cover

thrown in for good measure. The band will be in Fallon on Saturday, March 28. The group began – spiritually, if not specifically – when principle songwriter Jason Sanford ran into old friend Barry Bribyl Jr. playing honky-tonk. While Sanford was more metal, the best friendships are built on compromise and the more Pribyl and Sanford started playing together, the more a specific sound started to emerge – one that blended a ragged bar-rock attitude of bands like Uncle Tupelo with a few mild nods toward the iconoclastic end of contemporary country, like Jamey Johnson. Emily Sholes. Another was JThe results are spellbinding.

They turn Blur’s “Tender” into a rousing, gospel-informed hymn, and work similar magic on their own compositions. The trembling, minor-key vocal melody of “El Luna” recalls both Elliott Smith and Abbey Road-era Beatles and “Woe is Me” is a rollicking country stomp in the vein of Steve Earle. “I was trying to write a real Depression Era-style country song,” Sanford explains, “and so I tried to put myself in the mindset of what people back then were going through.” Though it began as an attempt to channel the loose rootsiness of Old Crow Medicine Show, the result is a barnburner – a big, raucous number with a booming

backbeat and deep-fried electric guitar. Whether loud and rowdy or quiet and contemplative, Rosco Bandana balance both extremes perfectly. “It might sound cliché,” Pribyl says, “but we’re just these humble, good ol’, down-to-earth Mississippi people. And when we play live, you can just see in our faces the joy of music.” “I want people to feel like they know us,” says Flint. “I want them to feel like they can relate.” Presented by the Churchill Arts Council, tickets are $17 for CAC members and $20 for the general public.

Shooting the West

Winnemucca photo symposium pulls in world-class talent WINNEMUCCA By Lorraine Giurlani, Special to INN

ow in its 27th year, Shooting The West continues to bring to Winnemucca first class professional photographers who exhibit their work, conduct workshops, and give presentations. First begun by well-known local Nevada photographer Linda Dufurrena, and Humboldt County Library Director Sheri Allen, and continuing under Director Brenda Heinz and the local steering committee, Shooting The West showcases photography of all types but especially that of Nevada and the West. Additional offerings include artist talks, instructional classes, field trips, exhibits, contests, vendor booths, and best of all, the opportunity to share ideas and techniques with fellow photographers and to consult with professionals working at the highest level of their field. Special guest this year is Ben Willmore who not only takes stunning photographs but is a master of digital photography. An Adobe Photoshop Hall of Famer, Willmore has taught over 100,000 Photoshop users on six continents, including for organizations such as the Mayo Clinic, U.S. Air Force, and Mercedes Benz. Willmore’s special gift is an uncanny ability to connect with users of every level and mindset, whether it’s beginners taking their first stab at learning digital photo manipulation or experienced photographers who have years of experience. He lives full-time in a 40-foot tour bus, traveling and photographing all over the United States. Among his favorite subjects are African wildlife, national parks, Asia travel, and vintage autos. In addition to teaching workshops Willmore will give two presentations to the full symposium. Another guest at the symposium will be Corey Rich, an intrepid adventure photographer who in January joined the climbers on the hardest rock climb in the world – a never before completed free climb of a half-mile section of Yosemite’s El Capitan monolith. During their successful

Slot Canyon by Ben Willmore ascent up the Dawn Wall of El Capitan, Rich spent days photographing the progress of the two climbers and bivouacking with them on a portaledge hanging off the side of the mountain. As he notes on his Face book page, “We ate food, drank coffee brewed from hanging stoves, updated our social media accounts, planned logistics, had more food delivered up

the wall, and spoke to journalists on the phone who are all hungry to hear details.” Shooting the West attendees will have a unique opportunity to hear the details of this historic climb from someone who was there. Tom Bol, an audience favorite at Shooting The West, is an energetic and inspiring instructor. An experienced freelance photographer, his assign-

ments have ranged from photographing mountaineers on Mt. McKinley to sea kayaking in Honduras. He specializes in dynamic location lighting using large battery-powered strobes. This year at Shooting The West Bol will conduct a day-long workshop on creating dramatic portraits using small flash. For the person who is starting at the beginning and who really wants to understand how his digital camera or smartphone camera works, longtime photography instructor Craig Moore will cover the basics of dig-

ital cameras, understanding modes, using flash, and composing pictures. For those needing basic photo tips or wanting to learn the most advanced techniques, there will be something for everyone interested in improving their photos, whether they use film, digital cameras or smartphones. Registration for individual segments or the entire program can be done online. Popular workshops fill up very quickly.

An entry from a tattered journal found on the shores of Lake Tahoe…

DEAD WINTER CARPENTERS

“According to local lore, tucked deep in the snow blanketed Sierra Nevada mountains, rests a cabin secluded from the masses. After days of searching the shores of Lake Tahoe, I find a path of footsteps in the snow that winds through the moss laden trees of the forest. After hours trudging through knee-deep snow, I find myself gazing at cabin where smoke is billowing from the chimney. To learn of what is inside, I crawl up to the window. As I wipe away the snow for a closer look, I find the crew consumed by their cause of crafting melodies and songs that warms the entire cabin. Here lies the heart and soul of Dead Winter Carpenters…”

Eclectic Americana roots-rockers aim a hammer at Winnemucca

WINNEMUCCA

n a time when music has been transformed and genre lines are left behind like the seasons, Dead Winter Carpenters are producing an ever-evolving style of music. The time spent, both in the studio in the woods and criss-crossing the American countryside, has provided Dead Winter Carpenters with a ground-breaking sound that blends Americana roots-rock with a tinge of straightforward ‘tell-it-like-it-is’ Alt. Country that is as hard-hitting as it is whimsical. The band will be in Winnemucca on Saturday, March 14 at The Martin Hotel. The five piece outfit is: Jenni Charles -fiddler/vocalist; Dave Lockhart -upright bassist/vocalist; Jesse Dunn -rhythm guitarist/vocalist; Bryan Daines -lead guitarist/vocalist;

and Brian Huston -drummer/vocalist. While the roadsigns and towns pass by the windows on down the highway of tour, DWC are writing original material based on their life experiences. “Dirt Nap”, the band’s latest EP, is a musical journey which speaks magnitudes to these experiences. The uplifting “Bootleg Jack” melds together banjo, handclaps, harmonica and fiddle into a musical amassment of down-home experiences of whiskey riddled fun. The stormy, somber, and longing tone of “West Shore Town” speaks to the darker side of existence. Conversely, the upbeat rambling sounds of the the telecaster and the lyrics of “Triumph” speak of man living with hard times who sees the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. One can’t help but feel the change of the alchemy brewing

10 Inside Northern Nevada | MARCH 2015

within Dead Winter Carpenters. Foot-stomping original tunes blended with the band’s onstage presence highlighted by the vocal melodies and five part harmonies, ferocious fluidity of the fiddle, deep pounding thump and thud of the upright bass, country ramblings of the telecaster and acoustic guitars, and the driving drums all meld together to create an experience that is sure leave you wanting more. This event is presented by Great Basin Arts and Entertainment, a local all volunteer grass-roots non-profit, organized to bring world class performances to our community. Tickets are available at Global Coffee, Nature’s Corner and The Martin Hotel or online via the Martin Hotel website: www. themartinhotel.com. For more information visit www.gbae.org. F

5th Annual Li’l Jake Eary Memorial Rodeo Over $55,000 in cash and prizes SPRING CREEK

By Jolyn Young, INN

ast year was our biggest year. It’s gotten bigger every year,” said event producer and Jake’s mom Carrie Eary. “There was no way we could do it without our contestants and sponsors and donors. And that includes spectators.” Last year’s Saturday night performance was standing room only. “It was packed. We had a really good crowd,” said Eary. This year’s Li’l Jake Eary Memorial Rodeo will be held March 7 and 8 at the Horse Palace in Spring Creek. The rodeo action kicks off with a pre-registration party at Muley’s restaurant on March 6 and 6 PM, followed by two full days of rodeo slack and performances. See inset for full schedule. One of the most popular events at the rodeo is the branding contest. The open branding pays a minimum of

$1,500 per man to the winning team, and last year’s payouts went down to ninth place. “The branding is always popular,” said Eary. People start calling in August to enter the following year’s rodeo, but Eary doesn’t take any entries until February first. The open branding contest fills up within the first week, so those wanting to enter should call or email in their entries before February 7 to make sure they get a spot. Besides the open and mixed branding contests, events include sheep riding, junior team roping, steer riding, saddle bronc riding, stock saddle bronc riding, bull riding, open muley roping, women’s steer stopping, junior barrel racing and open barrel racing. Pee Wee events for contestants aged 6 and 7 include stick horse barrels and dummy roping. For the second year, high point saddles will be awarded to the top scoring man, woman, junior boy, junior girl

and youth boy and youth girl. “Last year was a big moment for us because we were able to award saddles. We actually had a few, adults included, that had never won a saddle before. That was kind of a big deal,” said Eary. Every year, somebody wins an event who has never won a buckle before. “They win their first one there, so that’s kind of a big deal,” said Eary. Each year, a silent auction at the rodeo raises money for local scholarships and youth organizations. Recipients vary each year, and last year nearly

$5,000 in total was awarded. “We try to spread it around. Last year we gave four high school scholarships, [and] four eighth grade scholarships,” said Eary. They also donated to a 4-H group, the Nevada Youth Diabetes Camp, three local junior rodeos and a few other causes. “It’s always toward the kids,” said Eary.

Clan garments featured in ‘Second Skin’ exhibit at Arts Council’s OXS Gallery

CARSON CITY

arah Lillegard works in what she calls second skin.

The Reno artist featured in the latest show at the Office eXhibition Series Gallery works in fabrics that explore group identity, belonging and symbols, in garments sometimes called clan jackets. The attire is said to communicate meaning, cultural legacies and myths. The OXS exhibit “Second Skin” is free at the Nevada Arts Council, 716 N. Carson St., in Carson City, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. through April 17. “Clothing bears the mark of its owner,” Lillegard said. “Over time, the conscious and unconscious moments make themselves known through holes and frayed edges. Through these processes, the garments often become more than passive objects. As much as belonging comes from identifying within a group, it also comes from imbedding personal histories into a greater storyline.” Lillegard is a mixed-media artist whose work draws on the traditions of handcrafts and western icons. She comes from a family of quilters and craftsmen and her process relies heavily on touch. She earned a Bachelor of Arts from Walla Walla University in College Place, WA, before coming to Nevada. Work-

ing in the Reno arts community, she co-founded the Go for Broke Zine Collective and published a DIY Guide to Reno. She is the former director of the Holland Project Gallery. In addition to working in fiber arts, Lillegard is also a zine maker, writer, curator and graphic designer.

Her work has been exhibited throughout the northwest. She was recently awarded a Nevada Arts Council 2015 Artist Fellowship Award in visual arts. For more information or to purchase her work, visit http://thriveandthicken.com. The Nevada Arts Council, a division of the Nevada Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs, is the agency charged with ensuring that state and national funds support cultural activity and encourage participation in the arts throughout Nevada.

‘LIVE ACTION GRAPHIC NOVEL’

UNR hosts Intergalactic Nemesis: Target Earth

RENO

verything cool these days seems to be coming out of Austin, Texas, and this show is the latest example. Telling an all-ages adventure story set in the 1930s, The Intergalactic Nemesis mashes up comic-book and radio-play formats into a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience, a new art form, the Live-Action Graphic Novel. Three actors voice the dozens of characters, a Foley artist creates all the sound effects, and a pianist plays a cinematic score, while more than 1,250 individual full-color hi-res comic book panels tell a hilarious sci-fi adventure story visually from an enormous movie screen. And it’s all done live in front of your eyes.

The Intergalactic Nemesis has been featured on NPR, PBS, Conan O’Brien, the Wall Street Journal, and dozens of other outlets. The New York Post called its limited run on Broadway “Great fun! [A] happily retro multimedia

extravaganza”, the Cleveland Examiner describes it as “pure theater magic,” and The Austinist recommends it as “totally nuts and a ton of fun… Do not miss it.” But don’t just leave it to the experts. See it for yourself. If you’ve got an inner twelve-year-old (or an actual one living in your home) The Intergalactic Nemesis is one show you don’t want to miss. For the kid in everyone! This unique live-action event is on stage in the Nightingale Concert Hall on the campus of the University of Nevada, Reno as part of the Performing Arts Series. Ticktets are $24 per adult; $20 for seniors; $12 for youth and $5 for UNR students with ID. For more information visit:www.unr.edu/pas. F

World-music faves RichterUzor duo come to Eureka

EUREKA

he Richter Uzur Duo plays a whimsical mashed-up blend of classical, world, and rock music. The duo will perform March 6 at the Eureka Opera House. Viktor Uzur and Brad Richter are each master musicians of the highest caliber with global solo careers, major international awards and intensive training from two of the world’s most lauded musical institutions (The Moscow Conservatory and The Royal College of Music respectively). While developing into classical virtuosi as students, Brad and Viktor cut their teeth in rock bands – Viktor as an electric guitarist and Brad as a guitarist and singer. They also delved into folk and world music, eventually setting those interests aside to pursue their classical con-

cert careers. The Richter Uzur Duo has played hundreds of concerts in North America, South America, Europe and Asia and has a rapidly widening circle of communities around the globe that invite them back again and again. In the U.S. the RUDuo is perhaps best known through its regular appearances on NPR’s Performance Today – North America’s most listened to classical music program – as well as frequent national and international broadcasts on the Armed Forces Radio Network and programs such as PBS’s WoodSongs and NPR’s Classical Guitar Alive, which named their debut CD ‘Best New Release’ in 2010. Eureka Opera Houseperformances begin at 7 p.m., and tickets are available at the door. For more information visit www.co.eureka. nv.us/opera/opera05.htm or call (775) 237-6006. F

This exhibition in the Media Gallery of the Nevada Museum of Art presents a concise selection of his video work. Devils Churn (2010), Path (2008), Toss (2010), and Saguaro (2010) highlight simple meditative gestures – a bobbing inner tube, floating balloon, waving flag and tossed ring – that serve as surrogates for the endurance of the human spirit in the face of an indifferent nature. Disparate and powerful landscapes play the role of nature in the videos including, the Oregon Coast, Northern Iceland, Southern Utah, and Western Arizona. Cooley did not edit these videos; instead they present moments as they unfolded in real time. Cooley recounts simple, elemental moments that his careful framing and patient depiction elevate to a higher order. The fluorescent pink in each video knits the disparate actions together into a subtle yet personally epic struggle against nature. In a classical sense, Fire, Earth, Wind, and Water define the world we inhabit.

The tension between these forces, and our struggles to exist among them, provides the framework for the series. Each video presents a real-time tableau in which two elements contend.

READS Oprah Winfrey selects Cynthia Bond’s ‘Ruby’ for latest book club offering

Hillel Italie, Associated Press

Broadway classic ‘Guys and Dolls’ comes to Reno

rom the very first sentence, Oprah Winfrey loved what became her latest book club pick.

“I thought, `Wow, this is so good I have to wait until I actually have the time to absorb the language,”' said Winfrey, during a recent telephone interview with The Associated Press, of Cynthia Bond's novel “Ruby.” “I put it down and waited until I was in bed with the flu to start reading it. I found the language and descriptions so vividly compelling that sometimes I would have to take a breath and repeat the sentences out loud.” Winfrey's choice is a debut novel published last year to positive reviews and moderate sales. Bond's publisher, Hogarth, understandably expects that to change and has commissioned a paperback printing of 250,000 copies. The hardcover currently has 20,000 copies in print, according to Hogarth, an imprint of Penguin Random House, and is available as an e-book. As with Winfrey's three previous picks since relaunching her club as “Oprah's Book Club 2.0” in 2012, she will focus on online promotion, through her own website (www.oprah. com) and through Twitter, Instagram and other social media. Winfrey also has acquired film and television rights for the novel through her Harpo Films. Her interview with Bond will appear in the March issue of “O” magazine, which came out Feb. 17. A Barnes & Noble “Discover” pick in 2014 and a favorite of the editors of “O,” Bond's book is set in the author's native Texas and tells a fierce and poetic tale of a worldly, beautiful black woman, Ruby Bell, and her struggle not to be destroyed by her home community of Liberty Township. Bond sets the scene right away, for Winfrey and, presumably, for many others: “Ruby Bell was a constant reminder of what could befall a woman whose shoe heels were too high.” Bond, now a resident of Los Angeles, studied journalism at Northwestern University and

lived for years in New York, where she acted with the Negro Ensemble Company. During a recent telephone interview, she said that she worked on the novel for more than a decade and that it will likely be the first of a trilogy. She had written 900 pages for “Ruby,” but decided to separate it into three books after her mother, then her agent, suggested it. “Ruby” draws upon stories Bond has heard while working with at-risk youth in Los Angeles, and was also inspired by a horrifying event in her family's history. In the 1930s, Bond's aunt was shot repeatedly by the sheriff and his deputies, all rumored to be members of the Ku Klux Klan, because she had been involved with a white man. Her body was dumped in a sack and thrown onto her grandfather's porch. “This has impacted our family so much and was the base from where the story (of ‘Ruby') started,” Bond said. F

species of freshwater fish,” said National Geographic’s vice president of Exhibitions, Kathryn Keane. “Zeb Hogan shows us that despite their size, these fish are an increasingly fragile link

in some of the most important freshwater ecosystems on Earth.” Hogan is a National Geographic Fellow and faculty member of the University’s biology department in the

College of Science. He travels the globe finding, studying and protecting the world’s largest freshwater fish – megafish like six-foot trout in Mongolia, rare spear-tooth freshwater

sharks, huge wolf fish and electric eels or 14-foot-long stingrays in Thailand. He chronicles his travels on the Nat Geo WILD television show Monster Fish. Nearly 20 of the fish he studies and profiles on the show will be featured in the 6,000-squarefoot interactive exhibition. The museum exhibition, which will travel over the next five years to other museums around the United States, aims to educate visitors through the use of photos, videos, animations, interactives, sculpture, and text. “After spending the last 20 years studying these elusive fish, I’m gratified to see that they are now the subject of a large scale museum exhibition,” Hogan said.

When asked to declare our favorite grape variety we are often torn. Cabernet sauvignon occupies more space in our cellar than any other grape. Rhone grape varieties – syrah and grenache – are a close second. However, pinot noir could be our favorite grape variety even though we don’t have a lot of it. Pinot noir’s struggle to find a spot in wine cellars is due in part to its relatively expensive position in the market. Burgundies as a lot have become more expensive than Bordeaux and it’s hard to find a decent pinot noir from Oregon for under $50. Buying them by the case is a stretch for most pocketbooks and not all of them do well with age. But if you can pay the price, there is no better time to explore West Coast pinot noir. In recent weeks, we have ploughed through a lot of delicious pinot noir and were truly excited by what we found.Those that sell for $35 are actually a bargain in the pinot noir field.

Here follows a list of stand-outs: Patz & Hall Jenkins Ranch Pinot Noir 2012 ($55). Always a favorite of ours, this pinot noir has the guts to stand up to a lot of different foods. Big tannins give meaning to the fresh strawberry and raspberry flavors.

Crossbarn Sonoma County Pinot Noir 2012 ($35). Made under the direction of Paul Hobbs,

24 Inside Northern Nevada | MARCH 2015

this pinot noir – and anything else from Crossbarn – is a big success. We loved the copious and layered cherry fruit with an earthy personality. Hints of cola and spice make it a delicious drink.

MacMurray Estate Vineyards Central Coast Pinot Noir 2012 ($23). Sporting a new label, this

venerable producer known for its good values has produced another reliable wine from the broad, almost undistinguished Central Coast. Simple, straight-forward and packed with layered fruit, this is a wine you can serve to a crowd without breaking the bank.

Sea Smoke Southing Pinot Noir 2012 ($60).

We loved the elegance of this beautiful pinot noir from Santa Rita Hills. Good complexity and balance with bright cherry fruit and forest floor notes.

Inman Family Wines Russian River Valley Pinot Noir OGV 2010 ($65). We have loved these wines

ever since we visited with Kathleen Inman, the winemaker and head bottle-washer of this small Sonoma County winery. Truly a family operation, it exudes love and attention from vineyard to bottle. This wine is from its prized Olivet Grange Vineyard (it couldn’t use “Grange” on the label because of Penfolds trademark). Its character and brilliance earns the wine the top seed in the Inman family lineup. Light in color, it has elegance and bright raspberry and cranberry flavors. Inman is eco-friendly and even the reserve pinot noir comes with a screw cap.

Stoller Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2012 ($30). Easily one of the best values in Oregon pinot noir, the 2012 Stoller is a killer. At this price you can afford a couple of bottles for the holiday feast and be proud of

aromatics and flavors of this opulent pinot noir from Monterey County. It shows off a floral and dried herbs aroma with jammy cherry flavors and long finish.

Complicated Pinot Noir 2013 ($20). Well, it’s not complicated. Simple cherry flavors, good balance and excellent value. It is made by a new venture operated by Carlo Trinchero and Josh Phelps – childhood buddies and off-spring of two respected wine-making families.

Niner Wine Estates Edna Valley Pinot Noir 2012 ($35). Wow, what a mouthful of pure pinot noir. Very floral with layered, fruit-forward flavors of sweet black cherries, clove, and cranberries.

Amici Pinot Noir Sonoma County Russian River Valley 2012 ($35). This complex pinot noir shows an earthy cherry nose with flavors of dried cherries, red raspberries and a hint of cinnamon. Beautifully balanced and is delicious.

Migration Pinot Noir Russian River Valley 2012 ($38). Another winner from the Duckhorn family of wines. Cherry, strawberry and mocha dominate the nose, and mouth with a delicious spice note on the finish. Try this with chicken, salmon or pork dishes. Mmm. F

Old (but not forgotten) labels we’ve loved

A great value, this Livermore Valley chardonnay has crisp acidity to complement food and lingering tropical fruit flavors. Try their other wines as well.

ne of the joys of writing this column is tasting an incredible variety of wine.

These are often wines we would not have tasted otherwise because they are either too obscure or so well known that we’ve been there, done that. Then there’s the issue of the sheer volume of choices. However, we have learned that even the old labels we have often ignored need revisiting. New vintages and new winemakers can influence a wine over the years, so you can’t assume that disgusting chardonnay you tried years ago is just as disgusting today. Same goes for the wine you fell in love with many years ago – don’t assume it’s the same wine today. But we have found that old label or new, there are many excellent wines that don’t cost an arm and a leg. Here’s our recent list of 10 interesting wines under $20:

Here are 10 interesting wines $20 and under: Four Vines Naked Unoaked Chardonnay 2012 ($15). This 100 percent stainless -steel fermented and aged chardonnay shows a peach and citrus nose and flavors unencumbered by any oak influences. Perfect for chicken and fish dishes.

Stemmari Cantodoro Rosso Terre Siciliane IGT 2011 ($15). A blend of 80 ry fruit. It’s a versatile wine to serve at tailgates or with grilled sausage, pizza, hamburgers, etc.

Matchbook Tempranillo 2011 ($15). We can’t say this California wine tastes like a Spanish tempranillo, even though the vine cuttings came from the Pesquera region of Spain. Blended with 9 percent graciano, 10 percent petit verdot and 2 percent each of cabernet sauvignon and merlot, it is a tasty collection of blackberry and cherry flavors with hints of vanilla and expresso. Quite tannic and full-bodied, it is a wine to match with game and beef.

Byron Santa Barbara County Chardonnay 2013 ($16). This reasonably priced chardonnay is valued for its simplicity and grace. Stone fruit flavors and a nice mineral note with restrained oak.

Waterstone Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2013 ($18). Aromatic with citrus and herbal accents, creamy texture but forward acidity. Refreshing.

Murphy-Goode Homefront Red 2012 ($15). Fifty

Esprit du Rhone 2013 ($12). Blends from the Cotes

cents from every bottle of this wine sold goes to Operation Homefront, a non-profit organization that provides emergency finances to veterans and their families. Not only is the cause good, but so is the wine. A blend of zinfandel, merlot, petit verdot and petite sirah, is shows off rich cherry and raspber-

du Rhone are often forgotten and vastly underestimated. This blend of grenache, syrah, cinsault and carignane hums with fresh and honest fruit. Light, refreshing and versatile, it’s a good match for pasta, burgers, pizza and the like.

Wente Morning Fog Chardonnay 2013 ($15).

percent nero d’avola and 20 percent cabernet sauvignon, this well -priced Sicilian red offers a dried cherry and plum nose with ripe cherry flavors and a hint of leather in the mouth. Fantastic with red-sauced pasta dishes.

Olema Pinot Noir Sonoma County 2012 ($20). This well-priced pinot noir offers an interesting cherry and spice nose. It is expressive in the mouth with some cacao notes to mingle with the cherry and spice flavors. Very pleasing.

Tintara Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 ($19). Reasonably priced, this Australian cabernet has opulent, round fruit and supple tannins. Nice match with winter beef stews.

Durant Vineyards Olivia Grace Pinot Noir 2012 ($60). Using grapes from the Dundee Hill’s region of the Willamette Valley, Durant has crafted a specular series of pinot noirs. We liked this graceful Olivia Grace single-vineyard version for its opulent, mouth-coating fruit and elegance.

‘Hybrid’ blends from Callaway are a delicious choice Introduced 40 years ago by Ely Callaway, inventor of the revolutionary “Big Bertha” golf club, Callaway Wines have always been known for their quality and style. With Hybrid, Callaway is pioneering something new — with both red and white blends combining three of California’s most distinctive grape varietals. These blends create wines that are easy on the palate with rich and deeply satisfying, lingering finish. With grapes sourced from California’s Central Coast, the 2012 Hybrid red blend is 48% Pinot Noir, 39% Syrah and 13% Cabernet Sauvignon. This blend is rich and delicious, and is perfect with beef, lamb or spicy chicken. The Callaway 2012 North Coast white blends 40% Verdelho, plus 35% Viognier and 25% Gewurtztraminer. This multi-cultural

blend is lighter, and grea with fish, cheese or salads. Blended under careful supervision of acclaimed winemaker Robert Pepi, Callaway Hybrid provides an innovative approach to ensuring a most enjoyable drinking experience.

Fulcrum Gap’s Crown Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2012 ($59). Over several vintages of this wine, we have grown accustomed to its consistent style. Very complex and rich but with an elegance and panache. Bold style with ethereal earthy notes and loads of cherries and spice. F
