Fall Farm Festival is Winnemucca’s familyfriendly spot for fun Six-acre corn maze centerpiece of Lazy P Adventure Farm

I

WINNEMUCCA

t’s official. Winnemucca’s newest attraction is a true adventure in fun.

The Lazy P Adventure Farm has announced dates for the second annual Fall Farm Festival, and guests from across the Silver State are invited to celebrate Nevada’s 150th birthday Humboldt County style.

The 2014 Fall Farm Festival will be held every weekend in October starting Saturday, Oct. 4, and ending Saturday, Nov. 1.

Kim Petersen, who co-owns the farm with his wife Yvonne, said the event will include exciting activities for the entire family, including a petting zoo, bounce house, cow train, corn cannon, face painting, pedal

bikes, wagon rides, good food, a variety of wholesome entertainment and demonstrations and, of course, a pumpkin patch.

The highlight of this year’s celebration will be a 6-acre corn maze designed in honor of the Nevada sesquicentennial.

A mini-maze for small children, or for those whose time is limited, will take about 15 minutes; for those who have more time and attention to devote to the adventure, traversing the full-blown design will take between 45 and 90 minutes.

And for truly adventurous fun seekers, the maze is also available after dark. Get a flashlight, dress warmly, and enjoy!

Petersen said the startup

operation is his family’s way of sharing their passion for farming and agriculture.

He said students can put knowledge into action while interacting with live farm animals; challenge their critical thinking skills while navigating the corn maze; experience “agriculture in process” as they observe and learn about growing corn and pumpkins; and utilize all their senses to form a memorable experience on the farm.

“Our objective is really simple,” he said.

“We want children to have fun while learn-

ing.”

Every attraction is designed to provide a lesson, including lessons in fright from the Fall Farm Festival’s shockingly frightening “Farmer’s Harvest-Barn of Terror.”

“This is not for the faint of heart,” said Petersen. “If you’ve got a pacemaker, you better stay home. But if you really want to land smack dab in the middle of the Halloween spirit, be our guest, because you are seriously going to scream.”

The Barn of Terror will be open Oct. 11,

www.insidenorthernnevada.com

18 and 25, plus Friday, Oct. 31, and Saturday, Nov. 1.

The haunted attraction has been designed and constructed to stimulate guests’ senses as they venture through the farmer’s lair and eventually into the corn field of screams.

Scares are taken serious, said Petersen, to the point that the family has attended the world’s largest haunted convention in St Louis, Missouri, for the past two years to get ideas on how to put together a first-class haunted attraction.

“We have learned a lot and have a bag of new tricks for this year’s attraction that everyone is guaranteed to notice,” said Petersen. “Come see if you’re up for the challenge.”

Petersen said the entire Fall Farm Festival is made possible each year through a unique partnership with the Humboldt County Chamber of Commerce.

Petersen also acknowledged the tremendous work of his dedicated family members and friends.

“It’s been a great adventure and a time of learning for all of us,” said Petersen. “We’re excited for what this year will bring and invite our Nevada neighbors to come join us in the fun.”

Easy-rollin’ old time country comes to Winnemucca

Klauder T channels country roots with new band

WINNEMUCCA

he Caleb Klauder Country Band represents the best of the Northwest music scene.

Caleb has been touring nationally and internationally for over 15 years and has been involved with some of the region’s most iconic bands, such as Calobo and The Foghorn Stringband.

The Caleb Clauder Country Band will be on stage in Winnemucca on Friday, Oct. 17 at the Martin Hotel.

With this interation of his band, the songmaster is leading with vocals, guitar, and a mandolin. Caleb hosts some of the northwest’s best singers and players creating a honky-tonk band that stands out as a totem in the country music scene.

The band performs Caleb’s praised

10 Inside Northern Nevada | OCTOBER 2014

original songs right alongside classics from George Jones, The Louvin Brothers and Dolly Parton, all at once sounding timeless, fresh, and alive. There is a drive to his music that makes it unique and captivating.

This is country music made for people who want to have fun and who want to dance, harkening back to the old dance hall days when people of all walks of life came together to simply dance, socialize, and enjoy live music.

Band members include Jesse Emerson on upright bass, Ned Folkerth on drums, Reeb Willms on vocals and guitar, Russ Blake on pedal steel and electric guitar, and Sam Weiss on fiddle, all of whom contribute to the vibrant northwest music scene in various other bands.

Raised on Orcas Island, Washington and now living in Portland, Ore., Caleb

is a true north westerner, yet his maternal family roots lay in East Tennessee.

His mother, originally from Knoxville, moved her family out west when Caleb was only a year old. These deep family roots contribute to Caleb’s music, tapping into old memories to bring you the strong singing and spirited attitude that give his music an edge that is both cutting and sweet.

The “Western Country” album, released a couple of years ago, taps into Klauder’s passion for old-timey music.

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

CARSON CITY

ach October, Nevadans turn their attention to the state capitol, Carson City, home of the “official” Nevada Day Parade. For over 75 years, it’s an annual coming together to celebrate Nevada’s heritage and the founding of this great state on October 31, 1864!

The Nevada Day celebration in Carson City features a large assortment of activities including the Nevada Day Parade, music and arts shows, a Carnival, Pancake Breakfast at the Governor’s Mansion, Nevada Day Classic Run/ Walk, World Championship Rock Drilling Contest, Beard Contest, Annual Chili Feed, free local concerts and more!

Lowry High School stages one of Bard’s best

Macbeth

performances begin Oct. 20 WINNEMUCCA

By Joyce Sheen, INN

M

acbeth has been interpreted and performed differently over the decades—sometimes as a tragic love story, sometimes a story of self-fulfilling prophecy, or even as a cautionary tale of the consequences of ambition.

In any interpretation, it’s a dark tale scheduled for October 20-22. The play’s timing—just before Halloween—is perfect, according to members of Lowry High School’s drama and stagecraft classes, who are getting ready to present the classic to begin the 2014—2015 school year.

“It’s a good introduction into drama and stagecraft for the new people,” said Hunter Dimmick. “It’ll bring a lot of energy and get them comfortable with the audience,” he said. Dimmick is one of the new students himself.

Drama and stagecraft teacher Corrine James said about 90 percent of the drama class is new this year, and stagecraft has plenty of first-timers too.

That makes the contribution of experienced students like Rhys Neary even more valuable.

Neary will be handling the music for Macbeth, something he’s excited about Learning the Shakespearean language of Macbeth is proving to be a challenge for these students, as it has been for several hundred years for countless performers. This adaptation of the play retains Shakespearean language, but not the iambic pentameter of the original. It’s shorter too; the first reading came in at just under an hour.

The high school students are enthusiastic about tackling the classic play and invite all to enjoy their presentation of Keith Nielsen’s adaptation of the classic play, Macbeth, by William Shakespeare. Performances are scheduled Oct. 20 - 22 at 7 p.m. each night in the Lowry High School auditorium. F

At top, Johaunna Maloon, Jacob Hernandez and Cameron Okuma are painting, crinkling and stapling—stagecraft magic-making skills to create the world of Macbeth.

GBC’s Art Gallery presents Wally’s World traveling exhibit ELKO

The Great Basin College Art Gallery presents Wally’s World — The Loneliest Art Collection in Nevada through Nov. 7 in the Leonard Center for Student Life.

In 1987, Life Magazine described US HWY 50 across the center of Nevada as the “The Loneliest Road in America.” The magazine particularly mentioned the 287-mile stretch between Fernley and Ely as “remote with few points of interest” and it urged travelers to have “survival skills” to make the journey. Exhibit curator, Jim McCormick titled this NTI-Traveling Exhibition, Wally’s World: The Loneliest Art Collection in Nevada because Wally Cuchine’s art collection is located in Eureka, Nevada on HWY 50’s route.

For more than two decades, residents in this part of rural Nevada experienced a breadth of quality cultural events thanks to Wally Cuchine’s personal passion

Dressed only in a nightshirt and unarmed, Sheriff Thomas Logan lay bleeding outside the Jewel, a house of ill-fame. His death in 1906 sent shock waves across Nevada, forcing Hannah Logan and their eight children to face an unfathomable future. This richly textured account of a popular lawman’s life and death also includes many famous and colorful characters – all of whom were part of the Old West’s reluctant surrender to the 20th century.

The Sheriff Thomas W. Logan story is dedicated to the families and descendents of fallen peace officers. We become one in our struggle, our healing, and our triumph.

The original inhabitants of the Lake Tahoe Basin the Washoe are a fascinating people. With a history in the Sierra Nevada stretching back 9000 years they are the oldest tribe in California. They have a fascinating history before and after the coming of the Americans.

From a population numbering approximately 1,500 people who’s homeland stretched from Mono Lake in the South to Honey Lake in the North the Washoe were reduced to only 500 people in 1866 with no land to call their own.

Wine theories come and go Egg-shaped concrete fermenters

Chilean winemaker tries to do something different When you are in this business long enough, a lot of wine theories come and go. Some are debunked only to be endorsed a few years later: heavy oak/no oak; dry/sweet wines; low alcohol/high alcohol.

We are reminded of the yin and yang of the wine business after visiting with a very talented and candid winemaker from Chile who in less than hour gave us an honest assessment of his country’s wines and an insight into the techniques – good and bad – of enterprising winemakers. At the end of the conversation, we all agreed that there is a tendency in winemaking to over-think wine and to manipulate its creation more than necessary. You have to wonder if it’s out of boredom that winemakers look to do something different from their ancestors who made pretty good wine without the wizardry.

Rodrigo Soto, chief winemaker of of Huneeus Vintners South American Wine Portfolio, spent a number of years with wineries in New Zealand and California before settling in his native winegrowing region in Chile. However proud he is of Chilean wines and the progress he is making, he knows that Chile has lost ground to countries like its neighboring Argentina.

When we first wrote about wine in the 1980s, Argentine winemakers were in awe of

Chilean marketing. They lagged behind their South American neighbor, they said, because Chile didn’t have the same marketing genius. But eventually, the Argentines wised up and promoted its ubiqutous malbec. Who’s ahead now? Are you more likely to drink Chile’s native carmenere – or Argentina’s local malbec?

Chile lost momentum in the competitive marketplace, Soto believes, because its producers were making wines that were “very conservati ve, academic and too local-centric.” Soto says producers were not adjusting to consumer criticism abroad where wine enthusiasts found Chilean wines “too green in the nose and too dry in the mouth.”

We recall those wines: bell pepper, rubber and other offensive notes that left a terrible image for Chilean winemakers to erase. After trying a few of them at relatively low prices, consumers moved on to Argentina, Spain and other places with good values but better wines.

For Soto, the key to making better wine is in organic farming. He was indoctrinated in this emerging wine-making philosophy after spending six years beside David Ramey, a consultant for Sonoma’s Benziger winery – a pioneer in organic and bio-dynamic farming.

However good for the environment, organic farming’s benefits to a wine’s flavor isn’t entirely clear to consumers. Soto said that reducing Chile’s offensive bell-pepper flavors requires growers to expose their grapes to more sun. But, in this region more sun can burn the grapes, so there is a delicate balance in achieving riper grapes without the raisiny characteris-

28 Inside Northern Nevada | OCTOBER 2014

tics that often follow. Not everyone is willing to take the risk and prefer high yields and low prices – an equation that often creates inferior wines.

“You need a moderate pace of metabolism to get the right minerality and smooth ripening,” he says.

“Organic slows the ripening process .”

He is using concrete egg-shaped fermentors – hardly a new device but one gaining popularity over stainless steel. The design of these fermentors allow sediment to fall naturally to the bottom. They retain temperature more naturally and the natural circulation of the fermenting juice doesn’t require stirring of the lees.

As we travel to various wine growing regions, we are seeing more and more of them.

Soto is convinced these fermentors give more texture to wine. His sauvignon blanc is evidence of that -- unfortunately, this wine can be found only in a handful of restaurants. However, it’s not the only wine made under the Ritual label.

We loved the 2012 Vermonte Ritual Casablanca Valley Pinot Noir ($20) made from University of California, Davis, clones. It’s light color masks the depth and quality of a medium body, bright and effusive pinot noir with black cherry and raspberry notes. We dare you to find a pinot noir at this price and with this quality.

We also tasted the 2012 Primus The Blend ($20), a melangé of cabernet sauvignon (30 percent) carmenere, syrah, merlot and petite verdot.

Wow, what a great value at this price.

Soto’s experimentation with fermenting vessels, natural yeasts and canopy management in the vineyard separates him from Chilean winemakers stuck in their old ways. However, he is the future of this country’s fertile wine-growing region. F

Everybody’s looking for a deal

Everyone is looking for a deal in wine, and perhaps you enjoy a glass of wine with your home-cooked meal but are on fixed income or not-enough-income.

There are a lot of choices on the market — boxed wines, jug wines, cheap imports — but you are better off to stick with known brands rather than take a chance on some fly-by-night group out to make a quick buck.

Inexpensive wines are made from cheap grapes.

Either they come from a less respected region of California (Lodi, for instance) with warm climates or from countries that don’t have high labor costs.

The wines are often blended to bolster varietal grapes, like chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon. It is not uncommon, for instance, to see gewurztraminer used in chardonnay for its aromatics and round, spicy flavors.

It is also common to find a touch of sweetness on these wines to give them more texture and to mask the acidity.

We recently tasted a few wines from well-respected producers who can make decent wine because they are well capitalized. Robert Mondavi’s “private selection,” for instance are reliable wines for $11. Two other producers we like are Pedroncelli and Alamos (an Argentine winery operated by Gallo). Both sell wines for around $13 apiece.

We enjoyed the refreshing

2013 Robert Mondavi Private Selection Pinot Grigio ($11) for its pear and citrus flavors — a nice pairing for Maryland crab cakes -- and the exotic fruit flavors of the 2013 Mondavi riesling for the same price.

You may not think of Rioja as a white wine producer, but viura is not uncommon to those who live there. Generous floral aromas and crisp tropical fruit flavors.

Edmeades Mendocino County Zinfnadel 2012 ($20). Zinfandel is a great Pedroncelli has a beautiful 2013 Dry Rose of Zinfandel ($12) for those of you who, like us, enjoy dry roses to launch warmer weather. Its 2012 friends.red ($12) is a motley blend of merlot, zinfandel, syrah and petite sirah. It has a juicy profile.

If you want something really different, try the 2013

Alamos Torrontes ($13).

Some may find it too tart, but we like the citrus notes and crisp acidity in this unusual grape variety.

Rancho Zabaco is a reliable producer and its Sonoma Heritage Vines Zinfandel 2012 ($15) is fullo of juicy dark berry fruit with a touch of mocha.

Dancing Bull Sauvignon Blanc 2013 ($12) has crisp acidity with generous pineapple and grapefruit notes to produce a nice sipping wine on a summer day.

Here are some other good values we suggest:

Red Wines Las Rocas Renegado Red Blend 2012 ($14).

As you would expect, anything from Las Rocas has two things: value and beaucoup fruit. This blend of garnacha, tempranillo and syrah attacks the palate with blackberry and cherry flavors, a dash of spice and oak in a medium body. Good value.

Cune Monopole Rioja 2013($15).

We really enjoyed this white Rioja made entirely of viura grapes.

wine to serve with hamburgers, pulled pork and anything with a ketchup-based sauce.

The Edmeades is a reliable producer and this year’s zinfandel is loaded with blackberries, chocolate and cherry cola flavors.

White Wines Aia Vecchia Vermentino 2013 ($12). Vermentino is the perfect grape to use in a spring/summer wine. Aged only in stainless steel, it sports a clean and refreshing character. Lots of aromatics with grapefruit and apple flavors.

Franciscan Estate Equilibrium White Blend 2013 ($23). Here’s a fun twist on sauvignon blanc. Winemaker Janet Myers adds chardonnay and muscat to give the wine more dimension and also a soft, almost sweet mouthfeel.

Ripe peach flavors abound.

Good match to spicy foods.

Trivento Torrontes Reserve 2012 ($12). Tor-

rontes is Argentina’s signature white grape -- a winner with summer fare, such as salads, appetizers and anything with a citrus flavor.

Tropical fruit and lime flavors mix well with the bright acidity to keep the palate refreshed on a hot day.

Gnarly Head family of wines offer something for everybody

At Gnarly Head it all starts in the vineyard. Our quest for outstanding Zinfandel led us down a country road into the heart of Lodi, California revealing a sea of gnarled, 35-80 year-old vines pruned in a special, mop-topped way called “head trained.” True gnarly heads, these old vines yield fewer grape clusters with smaller berries than trellised vines. These mighty little berries produce intense, bold wines that are deep in color with concentrated dark fruit flavors. Inspired by the gnarled sentinels of California’s wine growing tradition, we decided

to name our company Gnarly Head, because after all, it is all about the vine.

But Zinfandel is not the only grape that can be Gnarly.

Our winemaking team selects grapes from some of the best vineyards in Northern California for our Gnarly Head Chardonnay, Cab (Cabernet Sauvignon), Pinot Noir, Merlot and Pinot Grigio.

These bold, sophisticated wines are crafted to be enjoyed with a wide selection of foods, and made to bring people together, to enjoy with laughter, to celebrate past escapades and future adventures. Enjoy! F

La Crema Monterey Pinot Gris 2013 ($20).

Pinot gris is just another name for pinot grigio, but producers in the United States like to use the name to define a style of wine. We love the aromas of honeysuckle and pear. The palate has melon and apricot flavors -- serve it with fruit! F
