Oats Park Art Center hosts two mixed media artists FALLON It's not flat. It's not traditional.

And it's definitely not boring! The mixed-media artworks of Chris Bauder and Michael Sarich will be on display at the Oats Park Art Center in Fallon through Nov. 23.

Nevada artist Chris Bauder has an unusual way with latex paint.

His exhibit "Don't Tear My Playhouse Down" will be on display in the E.L. Weigand Gallery.

"Having turned latex paint into shape I’ve satisfied two desires: abundance and accessibility of color and the manipulation of form. I dip and drip, pour, peel, stretch and stuff," he says.

"These plastic environments of semi-organic forms laden with sensual overtones bulge and sag, suggesting animated qualities and plush elements of various surroundings that reference the human body, science fiction entities and familiar objects of pleasure."

New work by Chris Bauder

The work of Nevada artist Michael Sarich is filled with narrative icons and metaphorical imagery of a highly personal, yet universal nature.

His works "Puppets: Chimera and Chicanery" will be on display in the Classroom Gallery.

Both artists will take part in a 'Conversation' on Sept. 7 at the Oats Park Art Center.

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. F

Ramblin' Jack Elliott teams up with Nell Robinson for Americana music concert

rare package of American Roots and Folk music will grace the stage at The Martin Hotel in Winnemucca on Wednesday, Sept. 4.

The Stories and Seeds Trail Tour features the legendary Ramblin’ Jack Elliott along with singer-songwriter Nell Robinson.

An American musical treasure, Ramblin’ Jack is a five time Grammy nominee and two time Grammy winner. In 1998 Jack was presented with a National Medal of Arts award from the National Endowment for the Arts. This award, created by Congress on behalf of the American people, is a lifetime achievement award that recognizes the extraordinary accomplishments of individuals engaged in the creation and production of the arts in the United States.

Having a long and prolific career, Ramblin’ Jack has carried the seeds of story and song for decades, from one place to another, from one generation to the next. Ramblin’ Jack picked up the American troubadour tradition and passed it along, most famously from Woody Guthrie to Bob Dylan. A wide spectrum of musical artists have paid homage to Ramblin’ Jack Elliott including Johnny Cash, Bruce Springsteen, and Tom Waits.

Nell Robinson

Joining the Seeds and Stories collaboration is vital contemporary folk singer-songwriter Nell Robinson.

Nell has two solo records and recently released a duet cd with Jim Nunally entitled “House and Garden” featuring rich stories, lyrics, and vocal harmonies.

Robinson has performed at many American music venues including A Prairie Home Companion, The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington DC, Strawberry Music Festival, and the Freight and Salvage Coffeehouse in Berkley. Her singing has been compared to the iconic voice of Emmylou Harris and songwriting of Patty Griffin. One critic recently call Nell’s music “a timeless, sepia-toned world at the intersection of bluegrass, country, folk, and Americana.” Joining Nell onstage will be a very 6 | Inside Northern Nevada | SEPTEMBER 2013

talented young guitar player and singer named Logan Ledger.

This unique tour collaboration of the old and the new is planting the new seeds that will carry on the vital cultural tradition of storytelling though roots music.

This Sept. 4 show at the Martin Hotel starts at 7 p.m. and has a special limited seating of 75. Tickets are $25 and are on sale at The Martin Hotel, Nature’s Corner, and Global Coffee, or can be purchased online (recommended) via the Martin Hotel website, www.themartinhotel.com.

THE MAN AND HIS MUSIC

Cowboy musician Don Edwards Gress named ECAC of the Month returns to Eureka Opera House Artist Emerging artist blends EUREKA on Edwards is a cowboy balladeer — but so much more than a singer.

D

The Grammy nominated artist will perform a special two-night bill at the Eureka Opera House on Sept. 20 and 21.

Singer-guitarist Edwards continues to build a legacy that enriches our vision of the American West. In tales of the day-to-day lives and emotions of those who have lived it, his ballads paint a sweeping landscape of both mind and heart, keeping alive the sights, sounds and feelings of this most American contribution to culture and art.

Bobby Weaver of the National Cowboy Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, summed up Edwards' importance as "...the best purveyor of cowboy music in America today."

An historian, author, and musicologist, unusually wellversed in cowboy lore and musical traditions, Don brings a rare compliment of knowing and loving his craft. Mostly though, there is the soul of a poet; a man who has never succumbed to the temptations of presenting a glamorized or romanticized version of the West.

Edwards deals with the bad weather and petty motivation, with sadness, nostalgia and longing as parts of the landscape like any other.

The son of a vaudeville magician, Don was exposed as a child to a vast cross-section of music from classical to jazz, and blues to western-swing. Many of the those influences enter his own music as they did some of the music of the West. Edwards was drawn to the cowboy life by the books of Will James and

was presented the Will James Society's "Big Enough Award" which is presented annually to someone who personifies the Western and Cowboy way of life and their achievements. He also loved the B Westerns of the silver screen, particularly those featuring "'sure-' nuff cowboys" like Tom Mix and Ken Maynard.

He taught himself guitar starting at age ten, and chased the rodeo and worked ranches in Texas and New Mexico during his teens. In 1961, he got his first professional job as an actor/.singer/stuntman at Six Flags Over Texas. Don released his first recording on REN Records of Dallas, Texas.

Don Edwards has two recorded anthologies, Guitars & Saddle Songs and Songs of the Cowboy, included in the Folklore Archives of the Library of Congress.

These anthologies have been re-recorded and expanded as the 32-song double CD/cassette called Saddle Songs.

He has received multiple awards from the Western Music Association for Male Vocalist and Performer of the Year.

Other projects include a book release by the Gibbs Smith Publishing Co. entitled Classic Cowboy Songs; performing on Nanci Griffi th's Grammy-winning video and recording.

Built in 1880 and recently restored, the Eureka Opera House is easily found in the center of Eureka. Performances 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

The Elko County Art Club’s “Artist of the Month” for September is young, emerging artist Matthew Gress. Gress was a recipient of the Elko County Art Club’s annual award of $1,000 in scholarship assistance to local high school students in 2012 and had recently become a member of the Elko County Art Club. Matt likes to work in acrylic and mixed media and also enjoys photography.

A number of influences have shaped Matthew Gress artistically. Since childhood, Gress’ father would take the time to draw with him and encourage his artistic efforts.

In later years, his elementary school art teacher, Mr. Austin, selected several of Gress’ art pieces for display in the Northern Nevada Museum. “The feeling I got when my art was recognized at the museum is one that I remember to this day and will never forget,” Gress shares.

In high school, Gress decided to take art more seriously and strove to create new and

interesting images that gained him a reputation for his work.

He explains,” People began to take notice of my shapes and lines, and in July of 2012 I received my first mural job for a local Elko business.” Gress just finished a graffiti-style mural for CrossFit Elko, a gym in downtown Elko. To view a time-lapse video of this mural on YouTube, do a search under “Time-lapse Graffiti Mural Elko.”

Recently, Gress was invited by the City of Elko to give a presentation for a discussion asking, “Is Graffiti Art?” The dialogue will be held September 25th at the Northern Nevada Museum.

You can view Matthew Gress’ paintings and photography work at the Elko County Art Club Gallery located at 407 Railroad Street in downtown Elko. Matt can be contacted by phone at 775-299-9958 or email at blendin2002@gmail. com. F

Tickets start at $20.

Held at the Churchill County Fairgrounds, the festival features a farmer’s market, arts & crafts, a country faire, cantaloupe foods, games, and contests, music and fun for the whole family.

The popular festival that draws over 20,000 visitors every year was inspired by the rich farm land of Fallon and Churchill County and the wonderful produce grown on it. In fact, in its inception it was called the annual “Corn and Cantaloupe Festival.”

The corn in the name has since given way to the very popular Heart O’ Gold, a sweet, juicy cantaloupe that is still grown in the valley, but not in the numbers produced during its heyday.

Often fondly remembered as an experiment, the Hearts O’ Gold cantaloupe was grown extensively between 1920 and 1930. Farmers gambled on the crop from the minute it went into the ground until it reached the consumer. A severe spring could easily wipe out a crop. An early fall frost could sneak in and kill the plants not quite ready for harvest. Poor packing had its way of splitting the fruit before it reached its destination. And, competition from other markets in the West made growing the cantaloupe a calculated risk at best.

Yet, for 15 years, Fallon produced the “king of cantaloupes” and virtually cornered the market with a reputation for jumbosized melons with unmatched sweetness. The cantaloupes were coveted by some of the most exclusive restaurants in Reno, San Francisco and Salt Lake City, and shipped east to markets as

far away as New York.

The experiment began with the Newlands Project of 1903, the nation’s first land reclamation project that diverted water from the Truckee and Carson Rivers to reclaim the land from the desert.

At first, settlers of Fallon rarely planted cash crops, preferring instead to raise cattle and alfalfa to feed them. These early hay farmers watched as farmers from California came to the valley and, using intensive growing methods, began to plant strawberries, melons, and fancy vegetables.

These new farmers often got the same price for a crate of fine berries that another got for a ton of hay. One of the first recognized experts in farming such fancy crops was O.J. Vannoy.

By 1921, high cash returns from limited acreage led to widespread melon planting in the Newlands project. A group of farmers organized the Churchill County Cantaloupe Growers Association and adopted the “Hearts-O-Gold” trademark for their produce.

This boom period for the Hearts O’ Gold cantaloupe saw some 44 farms growing melons on over 500 acres of prime land in Fallon and around Fernley.

Today, a few Fallon farms still produce the Heart O’ Gold cantaloupe which are coveted by many who live in the nearby urban areas of Reno, Sparks, and Carson City.

Occasionally, these same areas offer the melon in fine restaurants and supermarkets predominately signed “Hearts O’ Gold Cantaloupe from Fallon.”

Of course, the melons are also grown for the annual festival for which the cantaloupe lends its name. There is nothing that compares to a full-slip (fully matured and ready to fall from the vine) Hearts O’ Gold cantaloupe in freshness and juicy sweetness. It is to celebrate!

Just Desserts fundraiser a sweet treat WINNEMUCCA

T

he Just Desserts fundraiser is the sweetest treat in Winnemucca!

Set for Saturday, Sept. 14 at the Winnemucca Convention Center, Just Desserts welcomes attendees with an all-you-can-eat dessert buffet, punch and coffee.

All proceeds from the Just Desserts fundraiser benefit the Winnemucca Bookmobile.

The Humboldt County Library is in the process of ordering a brand new Bookmobile, and the goal is to fill it with new books, says organizer J. Carmen Kofoed of Winnemucca Publishing.

Once ticketholders are inside, both adults and kids will find a wealth of other things to do — silent auction tables will be loaded with a myriad of prizes and raffles will be ongoing throughout the evening.

There will be music and a no-host bar handled by Women in Mining — so your favorite mixed drinks, beer, wine and soda will be available, too.

“At least 10 games will be ongoing throughout the evening,” said Kofoed.

“We’ll have a cake walk, Bingo, Plinko and some fun and wacky games like ‘Ringo Flamingo,’ ‘Lily Pad Leapers’ and — completely new because we made it up — ‘the Potty Pitch.’ Bring your extra cash and plan to have a great night!”

This family-friendly event begins at 4 p.m. in the West Hall of the Winnemucca Convention Center and lasts until about 9 p.m.

“We’ve had huge support for this event, and we are so grateful to everyone who has donated their time, money, gifts and desserts to this,” said Kofoed. “Desserts are coming in from all over the area.

We have ladies in Denio and the rural areas who are expert bakers donating cakes. We have desserts coming from Winnemucca restaurants, grocery stores and caterers —even the Senior Center and Humboldt General Hospital.

No one will go home hungry. I promise!”

Tickets for Just Desserts are $10 per adult; $5 for kids 5 – 12 years and free for those under five years. A family ticket is priced at $35. Tickets are available in advance from The Humboldt Sun, the Humboldt County Library, the Humboldt County Chamber of Commerce office, the Bookmobile and McDermitt and Denio Branch Libraries.

For more information, to donate an item or to help at the event, contact Kofoed at Winnemucca Publishing, (775) 623-5011 ext. 207, or call the Humboldt County Library, (775) 623-6388. F

THE GATHERING TURNS 30

Tickets for January's National Cowboy Poetry Gathering on sale now ELKO As the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering turns 30, the Western Folklife Center invites you to take a journey in Expressing the Rural West—Into the Future!

The National Cowboy Poetry Gathering is the nation’s greatest celebration of the American West, its people, culture and traditions. The Gathering features performances of poetry and music from the cowboy and ranching occupation, but also presents exhibitions, films, workshops, dances and discussions—all centered on land-based culture in the American West, its traditional arts and the challenges it faces in the 21st century.

The event is held Jan. 27 - Feb. 1 at venues around Elko. Some workshops and classes begin earlier. The keynote address is Thursday, Jan. 30 at 10 a.m. during the welcome ceremony.

Tickets go on sale to Western Folklife Center members on Sept.

3 and to the general public on Oct. 3. Join us! Become a member and purchase tickets early.

During this 30th Gathering, learn from the “next generation” as they express their experiences of ranch life with one hand on the reins and the other on the cell phone.

Through performances, films and discussions, artists and audiences of all ages will share thoughts on meeting the challenges of rural life in modern America.

Like the ranch house kitchen or local saloon, the Gathering is the place for community and creativity, serious conversation and light-hearted humor. Mark your www.insidenorthernnevada.com

calendars for the 2014 “kitchen party” and be prepared for some serious good times woven together with some meaningful discussions and fruitful dreaming about the future of the American West.

Dr. Temple Grandin to deliver keynote at 30th National Cowboy Poetry Gathering Dr. Temple Grandin, renowned animal welfare advocate, professor and author, will deliver the keynote address at the Gathering. Dr. Grandin will speak at 10 a.m. in the Elko Convention Center Auditorium.

Admission is free with the purchase of a 3-Day Deluxe Pass ($60 before Dec. 20 and $75 after that date) or a single Day Pass ($25).

Dr. Grandin is best known for her work in developing animal welfare guidelines and designing humane livestock handling facilities that reduce stress for livestock. Half the cattle in the U.S. and Canada are handled in equipment she has designed for meat plants. Dr. Grandin’s achievements are remarkable because she was an autistic child.

At age two she had no speech and all the signs of severe autism.

Fortunately, her mother defied the advice of the doctors and kept her out of an institution. Many hours of speech therapy, and intensive teaching enabled her to learn speech.

Mentoring by her high school science teacher and her aunt on her ranch in Arizona motivated Grandin to study and pursue a career as a scientist and livestock equipment designer.

DAYTON VALLEY DAYS

Celebrating rail and silver trails history

T

DAYTON

he theme of this year's Dayton Valley Days celebration is ”Silver Tales, Trails & Rails!”

The busy weekend is set for Sept. 21 - 22.

In 1861, when the U.S. Congress created the Nevada Territory, they created and named Lyon County — one of the first of nine counties in the Nevada Territory.

Dayton was named the county seat not long after and soon became the milling, agricultural and commercial hub for the Comstock gold and silver rush that led to Nevada’s statehood in 1864.After all, it was Nevada’s first discovery of gold in 1849 at the mouth of Gold Canyon — where Dayton’s roots began — that led the way to the ’Big Bonanza’ mining boom on the Comstock.

Another factor of Dayton’s prosperity was the proximity to a large water source. The Carson River was — and still is — the lifeblood running through the Dayton Valley.

Dayton Railroad Days part of weekend's fun While the Dayton Valley Days festivities spill through the streets of historic downtown Dayton, the Dayton Historical Society presents Dayton Railroad

S

eptember 12 is the last Skyridge Outdoor Market for 2013.

Sponsored by Grate Thyme Kitchen, at 150 E. Main Street (Skyridge Plaza) in Fernley, the event draws to a close with high marks for success.

Fernley High School Marching Band members manned a booth at the weekly Market as a fund drive to help support their organization. Money was raised for new uniforms, equipment and traveling expenses for band competitions.

According to Market Manager, Lisa Young, the students not only worked their own booth but also assisted other vendors in set up.

“Without the kids, a few of our vendors would not have been able to participate,” Young said.

With a very successful summer nearly behind them Young wanted to make sure the community knew how much they were appreciated.

“We want to thank all the

And thank you to everyone who came down to support and/or participate in Skyridge Outdoor Market, a new Fernley business. You are a very important part of the Market’s success. We are pleased that you were involved whether as a vendor or a shopper.”

Young is especially thankful to the Fernley Visitors and Tourism Assn. for a grant it provided.

“All the signs and print coverage was created with the funds from this grant. Thank you,” Young said.

“As we wrap up for 2013, Skyridge Outdoor Market pres-

ents the Burning Masks and Faces Art Exhibition through Sept. 7.”

Art work on display daily inside Grate Thyme Kitchen gallery was created by artists Lynne Bunt and Brenda Anne Retterer.

Young listed some of her plans for next year, “You can expect to see EBT availability that will accept SNAP food stamps.

Anyone who utilizes this program will now be able to come and purchase farm fresh produce (including Certified Organic foods), jams & jellies, potted fresh herbs and breads with their cards.”

“We are looking forward to adding this service to help bring farm fresh produce to more families,” Young added.

Besides the SNAP program, presentations are planned to help people learn more about better nutrition through choice and caring for, as well as preparing, the fresh foods.

Young said the community can, “Look forward to an exciting 2014!”

friends who find unexpected happiness in relationships that cross the bounds of convention. Set in an Australian seaside town of otherworldly beauty, ‘Adore’ establishes an aura of fable as it follows two women’s plunge into uncharted waters. Watts and Wright fearlessly engage with both the physical and psychological components of the story, capturing the complex emotions and powerful desires driving their characters.

MOVIES

Fire in the Blood

Sept. 3 Bob and the Monster Six years in the making, this award winning documentary follows outspoken indierock hero Bob Forrest, through his lifethreatening struggle with addiction, to his transformation into one of the most influential and controversial drug counselors in the US today. The film crafts contemporary footage, animation and compelling interviews with archival performances and personal videos from Bob’s past to reveal the complex layers of this troubled, but hopeful soul. Testimony from his peers, including Courtney Love, Anthony Kiedis, Flea, John Frusciante, members of Jane’s Addiction, Fishbone and Guns n’ Roses add texture, but it’s the depth of Bob’s music, interwoven throughout the film, that illuminates this unforgettable and inspirational story.

Sept. 6 Riddick Starring: Bokeem Woodbine, Jordi Mollà, Karl Urban, Katee Sackhoff, Vin Diesel Left for dead on a sun-scorched planet, Riddick finds himself up against an alien race of predators. Activating an emergency beacon alerts two ships: one carrying a new breed of mercenary, the other captained by a man from Riddick’s past.

JFK High School, located in the midst of a run-down area in Newark, New Jersey, is a public school for all types of students with special education needs, ranging from those on the autism spectrum to those with multiple disabilities. Janet Mino has taught her class of young men with autism for four years. When they all graduate in the spring of 2012, they will leave the security of the public school system forever. Best Kept Secret follows Ms. Mino and her students over the year and a half before graduation.

The clock is ticking to find them a place in the adult world – a job or rare placement in a recreational center – so they do not end up where their predecessors have, sitting at home, institutionalized, or on the streets.

My Father and the Man In Black Jonathan Holiff’s new documentary is more than just another addition to the bottomless pit of archival footage dedicated to legend, man, myth and flawed mortal that was Johnny Cash. This film is a universal and troubling tale of the very real walls that parents can build around themselves (J(Jonathan’s father, Saul Holiff, was Cash’s manager in the 1960s and 70s). Refreshingly, My Father and the Man In Black does not slip into the realm of tabloid. It’s an intense personal adventure with universal themes and appeal that just happens to feature one of 20th-century music’s great icons.

But that’s not the life Rose longs for. When she travels to Lisieux in Normandy, where charismatic insurance agency boss Louis Echard is advertising for a secretary, the ensuing interview is a disaster. But Rose reveals a special gift - she can type at extraordinary speed. Unwittingly, the young woman awakens the dormant sports fan in Louis. If she wants the job she’ll have to compete in a speed typing competition.

Whatever sacrifices Rose must make to reach the top, Louis declares himself her trainer.

He’ll turn her into the fastest girl not only in the country, but in the world! But a love of sport doesn’t always mix well with love itself.

Salinger A feature documentary on the formative personal and professional experiences of the reclusive author J.D. Salinger. ‘Salinger’ features interviews with 150 subjects including Salinger’s friends, colleagues and members of his inner circle who have never spoken on the record before as well as film footage, photographs and other material that has never been seen. Additionally, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Edward Norton, John Cusack, Danny DeVito, John Guare, Martin Sheen, David Milch, Robert Towne, Tom Wolfe, E.L. Doctorow, Gore Vidal and Pulitzer Prize winners A.

WINE & SPIRITS TASTING NOTES

Pinot grigio or pinot gris: What's in a name?

The

WINE GUYS

producer, the pinot gris has nice complexity and opulent stone-fruit aromas.

Peach and apple flavors abound with hints of lemon and mineral. Etude takes pinot gris to a whole new level with this Alsace-like gem.

J Pinot Gris 2012 ($15). We enjoyed this pinot gris from J's estate vineyards. Apricot aromas lead to pineapple and lemon flavors with a dash of minerality and a crisp finish.

Pinot Grigio or Pinot Gris grapes are slightly blue-gray on the vine, hence the 'gris' (gray in French) in their name.

Tom Marquardt and Patrick Darr

Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi Pinot Grigio 2012 ($8). Peach

The grapes are the same, but wines have wide regional differences Pinot grigio or pinot gris? If you're confused between the two, you are not alone. The grapes are the same -- much like syrah and shiraz -- but represent a difference in style more than anything else. Alsace producers use pinot gris for their rich and spicy wines with tropical fruit flavors.

Northern Italy producers use the name pinot grigio for their lighter and citrus-flavored wines that generally have fresher acidity.

Italian pinot grigio has become very popular and can be easily found on many restaurant wine lists. But the quality varies dramatically. The best and richer Italian pinot grigios come from the Friuli region of northern Italy; those from Alto Adige are very aromatic. Those from Veneto are 28 | Inside Northern Nevada | SEPTEMBER 2013

most common, but many of these bulk wines, made by cooperatives from highyielding vineyards, are pedestrian and often sweet.

Pinot grigio and pinot blanc -- a mutant of the pinot noir grape -- are used interchangeably in the United States. However, pinot gris is preferred in the wine growing regions of the Northwest. Frankly, there are some outstanding pinot gris being made on the West Coast that we prefer over Italian pinot grigio. Otherwise, our preference is for the rich, spicy pinot gris from Alsace. Which style you prefer is up to you, but it would be fun to taste the difference.

Wine snobs are quick to dismiss pinot grigio as a respectable wine because they don't find it interesting enough to suit their palates and because it is made in bulk. But that hasn't stopped consumers from buying it -- the category has grown 10 percent over the last year and is now the fifth most popular wine. Not only is the wine a great summer sipper, it pairs nicely with Asian dishes and spicy foods that are common on the grill.

Tony Terlato's famous Santa Mar-

gherita put pinot grigio on the map for most people, but demand pushed up prices. Trust us, you can find an equally good pinot grigio for less than $22.

Here are several wines we recently discovered:

Hugel Pinot Gris Tradition 2011 ($20). This is a classic example of a rich, solid pinot gris made in a pure Alsace style. Still dry, it has a round mouthfeel and copious flavors. It can even be aged.

Trimbach Pinot Gris Reserve 2011 ($22). We love the generous, ripe pear aromas and tropical fruit flavors of this lush, complex pinot gris from one of the best producers in Alsace. Anyone who wants to take their pinot grigio to another level should try this.

McManis Family Vineyards Pinot Grigio 2012 ($10). This is quite a deal at this price. From grapes grown in vineyards near Lodi, the wine has a crisp mouthfeel and generous pitfruit flavors.

Etude Carneros Pinot Gris 2012 ($24). Typical of this reputable

and citrus notes dominate this simple but delicious, slightly sweet wine blended with 22 percent other white grape varieties.

Da Vinci delle Venzie IGT Pinot Grigio 2012 ($15). Da Vinci presence has grown in this country because of its reasonably priced chianti that can be found on a lot of restaurant wine lists. Similarly, it's pinot grigio is a decent value. Blended with some chardonnay grapes, it has nice complexity to match food. Tropical fruit, apple and citrus highlight the palate.

Pepi Pinot Grigio 2012 ($10).

Pepi makes great values in wine. This pinot grigio is a no-brainer for those of you who prefer this grape variety to chardonnay. Lively citrus and pear notes.

Giocato Pinot Grigio 2012 ($13). Simple but delicious pinot grigio with classic apple and tropical fruit flavors and fresh acidity.

Ruffino Lumina Pinot Grigio ($10). Very fragrant with crisp acidity, round stone fruit flavors and hints of sage.

Ecco Domani Pinot Grigio 2012 ($10). Easy to find, this steady pinot grigio has easy citrus aromas and tropical fruit flavors. F www.insidenorthernnevada.com

Notes from the experts — Reinvesting in Napa Valley The

WINE GUYS Recommend Tom Marquardt and Patrick Darr

I

t is no secret that in the last several years wine sales have suffered from a depressed economy.

But the wine industry is bouncing back. Not only are consumers buying more wine at higher price points, but producers are reinvesting money in their properties -- a trend Tom witnessed during a visit earlier this month to Napa Valley. Vines are being replanted, vineyards are being bought and producers are putting more money into barrels and equipment.

As Napa Valley goes, so goes the nation. The vines are full of plump grapes are turning color -the start of what the French call veraison. Not only does harvest promise to be early this year, but it looks like Napa growers will enjoy another big crop.

Things are looking up for California wine producers.

Surprisingly, Napa County produces only 4 percent of California's grapes, but its revenue represents 33 percent of the money generated from grape production. With that you would think there is room for expansion, but what little suitable land remains is located on steep hillsides that are expensive to plant -- if you can get past strict conservation laws enacted in the early 1990s. It's not surprising that the scarcity of land has lead to higher property costs -- an acre of planted grapes can cost more than $300,000.

Prices like that knock out most farmers, so the typical upstart winery owner is well-heeled -- a movie star,a star athlete, a former partner of some tech company or a successful investor.

Colgin Cellars, which Tom recently visited, is a good example. Ann Colgin, is an art collector and philanthropist who donates generously to local charities. She and her husband built a spectacular facility on hillside property near St. Helena in the early 1990s. Colgin wines have been deservedly rated www.insidenorthernnevada.com

among the nation's best -- five got 100-point scores from the Wine Advocate. This didn't come from luck. It was a result of an incredible attention to detail and a significant investment of capital. Who could replicate this in Napa Valley today?

Colgin's meticulous attention to detail and demand has resulted in wine that ranges from $230 to $480 a bottle. They have a waiting list of 2,000 people salivating at the chance to pay. You probably are not among them.

Success for Napa's wine producers leads to success for the county's economic climate too.

On an average day, about 13,500 people tour Napa Valley, according to 2012 statistics from Visit Napa Valley. They spend on average $714 a day and generate $1.4 billion in direct visitor spending in the county. The young people piling cases of wine into the trunks of their cars and dining in lavish restaurants symbolize the importance of wine tourism as an economic engine.

Unfortunately, there isn't much hope for vineyard expansion. According to Jennifer Putnam, executive director of Napa Valley Grapegrowers, grape production varies according to the quality of the crop, but planted acres have not changed much over the last several years. But there are more grapes, thanks to yield and vineyard management.

"The success story is how well we have managed pests," she said.

There are always grapes available to producers, but the price for quality is steep. Several producers, including the renown Bernard Portet who left Clos du Val to launch a new winery, depend entirely on purchased grapes. The competition drives up the price of grapes -- and eventually the price of wine.

His wine costs a lot and some producers question whether his sourcing will last.

Rich Frank, owner of Frank Family Vineyards, is bullish on Napa Valley and feels good about its future --- he just bought 87 acres of planted vines.

He says ships rise together with the tide. If his wines sell out, as they often do, he says consumers will turn to another Napa producer.

Napa Valley is known for its cabernet sauvignon and ones Tom tasted last week proved that it is still king of the hill. Those who look exclusively to France for collectible cabernet sauvignon are fools to overlook Napa Valley. F

Letterpress printing is seen by many as the antidote to computer design and production. One can create large numbers of multiples easily, while still retaining the hand-printed, tactile aspects of relief printmaking. Letterpress has both a rich and colorful history going back nearly 400 years and an immense contemporary popularity in the arts and design industries. In this class we will learn about the history of letterpress and its current applications, as well as how to set moveable metal type with images and wood type and print on a Vandercook Press. You’ll learn how to use a composing stick, measure with a pica pole, lock up in a press, mix ink and pull prints. You will have the chance to create both a collaborative and an individual project during this two-day class. Due to space constraints enrollment is limited, so register early!
