Trades group gives $19,000 to Centennial Campaign
he Western Reserve Building and Construction Trades Council, representing more than 5,000 union members throughout the region, announced a $19,000 donation to Youngstown State University’s Centennial Capital Campaign in late June. The money will be used to help in the construction of the new, $34.3 million building for the YSU Williamson College of Business Administration. “This generous donation reflects the Council’s continuing commitment to the future of the Mahoning Valley and Youngstown State University,” YSU President David C. Sweet said. “Over the years, YSU and the trade unions have developed a close partnership, and it is a pleasure for us to work together on this important building project.” Don Crane, Council president, said the labor unions recognize YSU’s growing importance in the Mahoning and Shenango valleys and beyond. “YSU has a proud past, and we believe it has an equally promising future as a vital leader in the Valleys’ educational and economic re–birth,” he said. “We are proud to provide this gift to show labor’s continued support of the university.” The gift includes donations from the Western Reserve Building and Construction Trades Council, Painters Local 476, Electricians Local 64, Carpenters Local 171, Operating Engineers Local 66, Plumbers and Steamfitters Local 396, Heat and Frost Insulators, Laborers Local 125, Millwrights and Piledrivers 1871 and Bricklayers Local 8. Construction of the 110,000-squarefoot building began in March, and the building will be open in time for fall 2010 classes. More than 50 members of the Western Reserve Building and Construction Trades Council are working on the project. YSU is raising $16 million in private donations for the construction, including $5 million from the family of the late Warren P. Williamson and $4 million from Tony and Mary Lariccia. State dollars will fund the remaining part of the project. The building on the far south end of the YSU campus will provide cutting-edge classroom and laboratory facilities for the college’s 1,950 students and will help better connect the college and the university to the downtown Youngstown business district. The three–story facility, which is about twice the size of the current business school building, is the centerpiece of YSU’s Centennial Master Plan and represents the largest single capital expenditure in the university’s 100–year history.

Highway Patrol urges caution during holiday
T
he Ohio State Highway Patrol is encouraging drivers to think twice before getting behind the wheel impaired on Fourth of July in an effort to have a holiday weekend free of fatal and injury crashes. The Fourth of July weekend is traditionally a dangerous holiday period on Ohio roads, particularly for impaired driving crashes. During last year’s holiday, nearly 50 percent of the 15 people killed on Ohio roadways were involved in alcohol-related crashes. “We are asking motorists that are partaking in holiday celebrations to designate a sober driver or call a taxi to assure that
they arrive safely at their destination,” said Col. Richard H. Collins, superintendent of the State Highway Patrol. “Troopers will be out in full force this weekend to apprehend those that do not heed this warning. If you are driving impaired, we will arrest you.” Motorists also should be reminded that wearing a safety belt is the single most effective tool in reducing injuries and deaths in crashes caused by impaired drivers. The State Highway Patrol’s efforts are being conducted in conjunction with a national effort to reduce impaired driving incidents and crashes. Increased and specialized enforcement is made possible through federal overtime funding and works in conjunction with Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort). Troopers encourage the public to continue using 1-877-7-PATROL to report dangerous drivers or stranded motorists, or 1-800-GRAB DUI to report impaired drivers.

It was an observation of mine that in the sixties, we had an awful lot of sprinters and not too many long-distance runners. And I think people may say Alice and I ran in the wrong direction or that we lost all the fights that we entered – but I don’t agree with either of those. – Staughton Lynd
BY MARK C. PEYKO METRO MONTHLY EDITOR
◆ Authors Staughton and Alice Lynd will discuss their memoirs at 7 p.m. on Monday, July 6 as part of the Universal Café’s Arts and Lecture Series. The event occurs at the First Unitarian Church in Youngstown.
ttys. Alice and Staughton Lynd recently published “Stepping Stones: Memoir of a Life Together,” a book that recounts their work as long-time activists in the Mahoning Valley and d across the United States. Over the years, the Lynds havee ar taken on a number of unpopular and thorny causes – many times wellll ahead of the public’s awareness of or tolerance for an issue. The Metro Monthly recently spoke ke ouwith Staughton Lynd about the coumple’s recent book, their lifetime commitment to social activism, and the dangers of voicing sometimes unpopopular opinions. Metro Monthly: What made you decide to want to write the book? Atty. Staughton Lynd: Well, it’s hard to say. I’m 79, Alice will be 79 in a little less than two months. And so if there ere is any kind of summing up, it seemed d like a good time to do it. Metro Monthly: What do you hope readers may learn from reading about your experiences and Alice’s experiences? nces? Lynd: Well, a couple of things. One ne is to keep going. It was an observation n of mine that in the sixties, we had an awful f l lot of sprinters and not too many longdistance runners. And I think [laughs] people may say Alice and I ran in the wrong direction or that we lost all the fights that we entered – but I don’t agree with either of those. But one thing we have done is to keep going, so that was a general motivation. But more specifically, I have a feeling that a lot of folks with liberal or radical ideas wind up on the West or East Coast. You know, they’re in San Francisco, or Cambridge, or New York City. And we wanted to make a plea that people who think they are pursuing a profession that’s of some use – I’m sure you feel this way, we felt that way as lawyers – take a look at the Youngstowns of this world. The medium-sized cities in-between the two coasts. And the particular term we used for what we had in mind was something we ran into on trips to Latin America. We learned of Archibishop Romero – in this case talking to Catholics – who had said that “People with a professional training should accompany those who might have need for their services.” Instead of spending all your time in an endless

Couple finds a home for activism in Youngstown exchange of ideas in some rarefied university, just get out on the streets and see if you can be helpful to ordinary people. Metro Monthly: I’ve always wondered that about you and your wife. Actually, that was one of my questions, too. But I think we should back up a little bit. Could you tell us a little bit about what brought you to Youngstown? Lynd: Yes. I was in a funny situation at the end of the sixties, because I had chosen the profession of history. My wife was doing early childhood education and each of us ran into a roadblock. But in my case, it was being so outspoken against the war in Vietnam that I couldn’t continue as a full-time history teacher. And in Alice’s case, a lot of the funding for Head Start and early childhood education dried up in the early seventies. Metro Monthly: O.K. Lynd: And so we kind of looked the world over and decided to take a shot at be-
coming lawyers and being lawyers together and, specifically, we had been doing some oral history with steelworkers and others in the south Chicago/northern Indiana areas. The same part of the world, actually, where President Obama did his community organizing. And one thing we ran into was the unionized industrial worker who felt he was being worked over by the employer and not getting much help from the union and was left to fight for himself. And so we had this specific project: maybe we could be lawyers to help that kind of person and, as you know very well, there are quite a few of them in the Mahoning Valley. And so, while in law school in Chicago, . . . we learned of some steelworkers in Youngstown. They worked at the old Brier Hill mill, Local 1462. Metro Monthly: Frame this a bit. What year was this, which decade? Lynd: This was the first half of the 1970s. I was going to law school – ’73, ’76.
The question is: Where are we going to go when we get out of law school? And so we ran into these steelworkers and they were pretty broad-gauged guys. You know, they were into combatting racial discrimination in the mill and in the community. They were civil libertarians, they were concerned with peace and I figured, you know, this is the kind of person that I think I’m looking for. I’m going to put my chips on these couple of guys and their friends in Youngstown, Ohio. And so we moved here in ’76 with that in mind and we’ve never looked back. They’re both dead now [the workers], John [Barbero] and Ed [S. Mann], and others whom we met. And I would add someone we met after we moved here, and is also now deceased, an electric utility lineman named Robert Schindler. Metro Monthly: But when you came here, you’re coming right at the time when the mills started closing down. Lynd: . . . It was GF [General Fireproofing] that first fall, if you remember. They had broken ground for a new plant here in Youngstown. There was a strike. The company canceled its plans and began to move out. They moved to Tennessee. And then, beginning in ’77, came every year a major steel mill closing. Metro Monthly: A lot of people undergo career changes, but you underwent a career change where you were actually looking at controlling not only your destiny, but also really channeling your energy into something that reflected your values and your interests and your political views and everything else. . . . You’ve had social activism and involvement in politics probably prior to the Vietnam War, but I’m just wondering what the roots of your social activism are and also your wife’s roots, too. Lynd: Well, I would say in each case probably our parents. Not that we were carbon copies, but, for example, my dad had been to divinity school and between his first and second year at Union Theological Seminary, he was a volunteer summer preacher at a Rockefeller oil camp in Wyoming. And he picked up the impression that the men who were working six days a week for Mr. Rockefeller were not excited about this SEE LYND, PAGE 9

handsome young man from the East who would spend his week visiting their wives. And so my father got a job as a pick-andshovel laborer and preached in the schoolhouse Sunday night. And, you know, you have that kind of dad and it rubs off. Metro Monthly: When people are socially active, do you see it as one event that may trigger an interest or is it upbringing, or maybe the culmination of a series of events? Or maybe a little of each sometimes? Lynd: Well, I probably think people take different roads. In my case, there’s just no doubt my parents influenced me and then when I met Alice, she was a little more into an anti-war tradition than I had been exposed to. . . . And one experience just built on the next for us and that’s why we call our memoirs “Stepping Stones,” because I don’t know it you’re a hiker, but sometimes you’re out in the woods, you come to a stream. There’s no bridge and so you make the way from one rock to the next, never knowing whether the rock is going to turn under your ankle or not. And we kind of used that as a metaphor for our lives. Metro Monthly: I think when people are driven by causes, social justice and things like that, there’s resistance and disappointment. What do you consider your most educational disappointment? Lynd: [laughs] Well, that’s fascinating. And I would say it was probably when – in the early sixties – I was a teacher at a college for African-American women in Atlanta called Spelman College. And on the strengths of my history writing I got invited to Yale University, which is you know like one of these movies where the guy is pitching in the cactus league and he gets a call from the Cleveland Indians. And so I went to Yale, and what happened when I was there was that the Vietnam War escalated. I made a very controversial trip to Hanoi. And for the first time in my life, something that I assumed would be a good thing – namely getting a lifetime position at Yale University – was denied me. And I think that was the best favor I could have received because as a lawyer in Youngstown, Ohio – a kid who grew up in New York City, son of two college professors, you know – I didn’t have much in common in the way of life experience with steelworkers, and, more recently, prisoners. But as a lawyer, that was like an invitation card. I was able to meet folks that I would have never met otherwise, so I’m very thankful [laughs] to Yale University. What did you call it, a creative disappointment? Metro Monthly: The disappointment you found most educational. Lynd: Well, that was it. Metro Monthly: Getting back to the book. How long did it take to write? And I wondered about the process of doing the book. I’m sure you and your wife talked about life and work experiences. Lynd: There had been various dry runs going back to the early nineties, I would say. I remember drafting something with a number of separate chapters, but it kind of got into high gear when Alice and I decided we were going to do this together, which is how we’ve done some of our best work. I would say [there was] another SEE LYND, PAGE 10
The blows of hammers and the humming of mills once echoed throughout the Mahoning Valley. Steel reigned supreme, and immigrants from every corner of Europe came to forge new lives and an enduring community. When the sounds of industry were silenced, Youngstown remained a strong and vibrant community. Editor Mark C. Peyko and the writers of the Metro Monthly create a portrait of their city through a beautifully rendered collection of vignettes. With stories of inventors, movie moguls, local cuisine and sports heroes, Peyko and company not only chronicle the history of Youngstown, but also capture the essence of their home.

critical point. We have three children and . . . we read our draft aloud to Martha [our youngest daughter]. And it was interesting, because things we took for granted about the 1960s, for instance, we had the feeling ‘Well, everybody knows that’ . . . and Martha would say ‘What’s that, mom and dad? I never heard that before.’ So we tried to revise in such a way that a young person today who didn’t share any of those experiences would have some clue what we were talking about. Metro Monthly: Considering your political views and social activism, I just take for granted that there are people who disagree with you or hate your ideas. How do you deal with that in your work, when you come against someone who is so dead against what your views are? Lynd: That’s a very good question and I need to explain [that] Alice and I are Quakers. And we’re believers in non-violence. And that’s not just a question of marching in the street with a picket sign . . . but also how you treat people who to all appearances are antagonists. For example, in 2001, Alice and I spearheaded a class-action lawsuit about conditions of confinement at Ohio’s first Super Maximum Security Prison here in Youngstown. And I’m here to tell you that the lawyers for the state of Ohio were initially very hostile, very suspicious. And we have a relationship of trust with those people now. I won’t go into details because I don’t want anything to happen to these understandings, but I think they feel we can help them do their job. In other words, if there’s something festering out there at the Ohio State Penitentiary – maybe something between blacks and whites or something between the prisoners in a particular cell block and certain officers, it’s in the interests of the warden to know about it and I think there have sometimes been instances where we could bring things to their attention, which we had heard from prisoners. Well, not snitching on anyone individually, but just saying ‘Warden, we think maybe there is a problem out in the cellblock, perhaps someone could look into it.’ And that’s an example of taking a relationship which you’d think, at first glance, ‘Boy, oh boy, they should be hostile toward one another.’ The guy’s trying to run a prison filled with people they consider very dangerous, and the ACLU lawyer is trying to improve conditions, but it just so happens that I think we’ve created a pretty trusting and cordial relationship with our lawyer counterparts on the other side. Metro Monthly: In evaluating your work, do you measure it by progress or do you see it as a series of challenges that may or not be related? Lynd: Well, that’s a question that a person asks himself or herself. I would have to honestly say that most of the ventures in to which I put a lot of energy have not proved permanent. It doesn’t mean they didn’t accomplish anything, but as organizations or institutions, they’re no longer here. And you could look at that and say, ‘Well, the guy didn’t get anything done.’ But, you know, an African-American was just elected president of the United States, a black man was just elected mayor of Phil-
METRO MONTHLY | JULY 2009 adelphia, Mississippi, where three summer volunteers were killed in 1964. And I was the co-ordinator of so-called Freedom School that summer [in 1964]. I was a part of opening up the world for maybe 2,000 African-American youngsters in that state. So I think I’ve accomplished a lot, although it’s difficult to measure. Metro Monthly: Going back to the book. How long did it take to write? You said you had some dry runs or some early drafts, but this project – from beginning to end – what would you put the timeline on as far as how long it took? Lynd: Well, I would say 15 years, but that doesn’t mean we were writing a book for 15 years. As I told you, I did a draft of my own experience. I sent it to a certain reader, that wasn’t too excited about it [laughs], so I set it aside. Later on, I sent it to a publisher – same reaction. And then, and I cannot remember exactly why, at a certain point I told Alice, maybe if we work together on it, maybe if we changed this and changed that, we can produce a product we would feel happy about. And so far, even though it’s not yet available in paperback, we feel terrific about it. Metro Monthly: When looking back at those cool earlier receptions, do you think it all worked out for the best because you decided to wait? Lynd: Oh, for sure, because, as I also explained with regard to our daughter Martha, if somebody tells you ‘I don’t really understand that,’ that’s helpful. You know that as a journalist. You want to try to find the words that speak to the reader’s situation. That catch his or her attention. And so that’s what I hope happened over the years. That we more and more found those words. Metro Monthly: My last question for you: What keeps you in Youngstown? Lynd: You know, that is such an interesting question because when all the mills closed, which had basically happened in the city of Youngstown by the summer of 1980, I [laughter] remember saying to Alice, I’m a little ashamed of it, but I said to her ‘Well, I guess time to be moving on.’ And she said, ‘Cool your jets. Let’s wait. Let’s see.’ And what happened, of course, was that by the mid-eighties, you had the LTV bankruptcy, we had retirees who were losing their health benefits, pension benefits were being reduced. We had a whole new chapter of the story. And when it came time to retire in 1996, Alice said to me, ‘I hear there’s some talk about building something called a Supermax. What is a Supermax?’ And so a new chapter opened up. And that’s one way of describing it. But there’s something else, as well, which is [that] my parents were both born in the Middle West. Alice’s mother comes from Cleveland. And we like the people out here. You know, we like the idea of folks getting up early and making it to the mill or Lordstown by the time the shift starts because we’ve always been people who worked hard and felt that we at least tried [laughs] to get to places on time and so on. There is the sense of, despite my very different early childhood as the son of two university people in New York, there’s a sense of being at home, of being comfortable with the folks that we meet here. And I think some of those who have become our friends would say the same about us.

Encourage healthy summer activities for your children SPECIAL TO THE METRO MONTHLY
S
ummer can be a great time of year to encourage healthy fun and playful activities for children and families. The weather is better, families have more time off, and there are many fun physical activities available in the community. Research has shown that making physical activity FAMILY and healthy living a FUN priority tend to bond families together and promote healthy habits that can last a lifetime. Lack of physical activity is one of the contributing factors to the high prevalence of obesity and overweight in the United States. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 50 percent of adult Americans are considered overweight, an increasing amount of children and adolescents are following this path. More than 10 percent of preschoolers between the ages of two and five are obese and overweight. Within the last decade, 15 percent of American children and adolescents between the ages of six and 19 years old were overweight. Since then, that percentage has tripled, and the prevalence of obesity in children and adolescent is growing rapidly. This has caused concern in the healthcare community and for parents as well; because being overweight at an early age increases the likelihood of being overweight as an adult. According to the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, overweight and physical inactivity increases the risk of health complications such as cardiovascular disease, adult-onset diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, insulin resistance and glucose intolerance and premature death. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend youth to increase their physical activity by a total of at least 30 minutes a day to improve health. This can be done in short five to 10 minute bouts adding up to a total of 30 minutes. Activities should be fun such as bike riding, playing tag with friends, playing catch, jumping rope, and swimming, playing

Be active together as a family. Plan active trips to the zoo, the beach, a family bike ride, hiking or a walk through the park. Even active chores can be fun such as washing the car, housecleaning, gardening, and lawn care. their favorite sports, and dancing to their favorite music. Parents should monitor and reduce sedentary activities at home; which includes TV watching, video games and computer time by at least 30 minutes a day. The National Institutes of Health and many other health organizations have information networks for families with helpful tips to get your child and family moving. Here are six important guidelines that may help you get started: ◆ First, have a family meeting to discuss the reasons for making healthy choices. Everyone should be involved and should make suggestions as a family. Set goals and action steps. Write down the goals. ◆ Set a good example. Be a positive role model. If your child sees that you are having fun being physically active, more than likely they will want to be active also. ◆ Encourage your child to join a sports team, such as basketball, soccer, dance, and gymnastics at school, at the recreation center, or at your local community groups. If possible, participate in summer camp programs and sport camps. ◆ Find out what your child likes to do. Your child may not feel comfortable participating in sport activities. Find physical activities that are fun that your child chooses to do on his or her own. There are other community activities to participate such as parks, bike trails, skating rinks, and community fitness centers. ◆ Be active together as a family. Plan active trips to the zoo, the beach, a family bike ride, hiking or a walk through the park. Even active chores can be fun such as washing the car, housecleaning, gardening, and lawn care. ◆ Have fun! Making positive changes toward a healthier lifestyle starts at home. Parents should gradually change their family’s physical activity. Like most things, success is more likely if every family member contributes to the planning process. Participating in fun activities that everyone enjoys will ensure the success of staying physically active. A family that stays active together will not only stay fit together but will improve their health now and for a lifetime.

Argentine reds stand out during recent Five Points tasting J une produced a handful of wine events throughout the Mahoning Valley that were both enjoyable and informative. Boardman’s Springfield Grille once again hosted a top-notch wine dinner featuring the wines of Robert Mondavi Vineyards. The first entrée was wild salmon cake drizzled in orange Zabaglione. This mouthwatering offering was paired to Mondavi’s Solaire 2006 Chardonnay. At $12.99, it’s an incredible bargain – I was stunned that the fruit for this wine came from the Santa Lucia highlands of California, which usually commands much higher prices. This upand-coming AVA (delimited grape growing area) is the source of some of California’s finest Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs. The Grille’s tender salmon cake was just the ticket for this crisp, tasty Chardonnay. The salad course consisted of field greens topped with hearts of palm and fresh sliced Mission figs. Mondavi’s revered Napa Valley Fume Blanc 2007 was poured to accompany this dish. Mondavi’s Fume Blanc rewrote the book on how Sauvignon Blanc was made and marketed in this country. Fruity citrus and melon flavors with a long, complex finish made this a very interesting combination. The third offering was Bohito Brule Gulf scallops drizzled with cinnamon basil. This outstanding dish was paired to Mondavi’s 2006 Carneros Pinot Noir. Spicy berry fruit flavors followed by a finish of smoked bacon and ripe fruit had me begging for another sampling. Mondavi’s iconic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 was next in line for examination. It was poured with the Grille’s Airline chicken breast stuffed with grilled artichoke and Brie. This was another outstanding match-up. Rich and bold dark fruit flavors followed by a long supple finish complemented the tasty grilled chicken. An almond tower stuffed with dark chocolate with fresh berry coulis was our final dessert course. Mondavi’s rich and juicy Napa Merlot 2005 worked very nicely with it. This full-bodied blend of 86 percent Merlot, 7 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 4 percent Malbec, and 3 percent Syrah was simply wonderful with the dessert’s dark chocolate and berry fruit flavors. Wine Styles of Howland was my next stop, featuring Debonnes Vineyards of Ohio for a tasting of both their dry reds and whites, and also their fine sweet wines. We started off with their exquisite 2006 Grand River Chardonnay ($10.99). Winemaker Ed Trebets discussed how his cold fermentation of the fruit enhances the crisp apple fruit flavors of this Chardonnay. Another great white wine is Debonnes’ 2006 Pinot Gris ($10.99) from Ohio’s Grand River Valley. Slightly fuller than the Chardonnay, it exudes clean spicy-textured

citrus fruit flavors. It reminds me of a fine Alsatian Pinot Gris and would be outstanding with roast duck or slow-cooked pork loin. My favorite Debonnes red was their 2005 Grand River Valley Cabernet Franc ($13.99). Medium-bodied with gobs of black cherry fruit flavors, this was the ultimate crowd pleaser. Within a few years, I predict that Ohio will be known as a world-class producer of fine Cabernet Franc. With each vintage, they are coming closer to this goal. The Vidal Blanc Icewine ($29.99) from the Grand River Valley AVA was stunning. A rich smoky nose with loads of ripe fruit flavors had everyone talking about this wine. This explosively concentrated dessert wine would be excellent with a selection of fresh fruits and cheeses at the end of a fine dinner. My next visit took me to Vintage Estate
RESTAURANTS the
wine guy BY JOHN WEBSTER Wine and Beer in Boardman for their third Saturday of the month wine taste. My favorite white selection was the Benessre 2007 Harmony Chardonnay ($16.99). This Burgundy-style Chardonnay was simply wonderful. Loads of green apple and citrus fruit flavors followed by a creamy supple finish kept me coming back for more. At this tasting, my favorite red was the Benessre Vineyards 2005 Costa de Sol. A blend of 61 percent Sangiovese, 29 percent Merlot and 10 percent Zinfandel produces a
supple, smooth-tasting red that compares to Italian super-Tuscans at twice the price. Aged in French and American oak, this creamy red just screams for prime rib or a hearty stew. Another crowd favorite was the 2007 Marquee Classic GSM ($10.99) from Australia, a delicious cuvee of Grenache (35 percent), Shiraz (35 percent) and Mourvedre (35 percent). This spicy, rich tasting red seemed to go well with everything offered at Vintage’s food table. This is a great bargain for summertime cookouts and parties. Five Points Wine and Bar had two tastings last month, and both were stocked with great wine selections. Two Mendoza Argentine reds stood out, the 2007 Caligore Reserve Malbec ($16) and the Reserve Bonardo ($16.99). Both offered loads of value for the price. The Reserve Malbec shows upfront dark fruit flavors and a soft, clean finish that would go exceedingly well with roast chicken. A crowd favorite was the Reserve Bonardo. It was bigger than the Malbec in character, but was still an easy-drinking style. This fascinating red would excel with anything coming off a grill. A lighter-style red was the Cherry Hill 2005 Papillon Pinot Noir ($26) from the Willamette Valley of Oregon. This well-crafted Oregon Pinot exudes ripe berry fruit flavors and a finish that is very Burgundian in style. I would recommend cellaring this wine for two to three years for even more enjoyment. A white wine that really stood out was the Parducci 2007 Sustainable White from Mendocino Valley, Calif. A blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat Canelli, Tokai and Viognier, it just explodes with tropical fruit flavors. It finishes smooth and creamy with just a hint of sweetness. A large plate of fresh-cut fruit and cheese would be the perfect partner for this wine. Upcoming events include Wine Styles July 3, wines of South Africa; July 9, Zinfully Delicious all Zinfandel wines; July 29, Women Gone Wine; all events are from 5:30-8:30 p.m. Five Points will also have tastings in July; call or check their Web site for details.
