COMMUNITY JOURNAL $22 million to weatherize low-income homes in 17th

.S. Rep. Tim Ryan (OH-17) announced in mid-May that counties within the 17th Congressional District would receive $22,197,175 in stimulus money as part of a grant to make houses more energy efficient. The funds are part of $266 million in revenue that will be administered by the state of Ohio and granted by the U.S. Department of Energy. Monies will be used to make necessary improvements to low-income homes that will improve energy efficiency and lower energy costs. “This is a jobs bill,” said Ryan. “This money will create skilled jobs and provide opportunities to subcontractors specializing in weatherization/energy efficiency services. It puts people back to work in the short term and reduces energy costs and consumption in the long term.” The Mahoning Youngstown Community Action Partnership will be receiving $7,421,544 expected to help weatherize 885 homes. The Trumbull County Action Program will receive $3,684,570 for expected work on 439 houses. Portage County Inc. will receive $2,346,242 for expected work on 280 houses. The East Akron Neighborhood Development Corporation will receive $1,786,390 for work on 213 houses. Summit County Department of Community and Economic Development has been granted $6,958,429 for work on 829 houses. The number of homes is a projection provided by the Ohio Department of Development. The distribution of stimulus funds is expected to begin in June and will continue over the next three years. Funding is still contingent upon approval of the Home Weatherization Assistance Program plan by the U.S. Department of Energy.

$20,000 grant to repair roof at Warren YWCA

he YWCA Warren, 375 N. Park Ave., Warren, announced last month that the Youngstown Foundation’s Mahoning Valley Sports Charities Fund has awarded the non-profit community based organization $20,000 to repair the roof over the YWCA’s Community Room. “We are pleased to receive this grant from the Youngstown Foundation’s Mahoning Valley Sports Charities Fund,” said Shari Harrell, YWCA executive director. “It is a vote of confidence in the viability of the Association and the role we play in the

Public Library meeting concerns budget cuts

n increasingly large decline in Ohio tax collections will mean an even more severe decrease in library funding than previously thought. The Public Library of Youngstown & Mahoning County will have to cut an additional $840,828 from its budget in the remaining months of 2009. This adds to a revenue loss of $1,116,070 which had previously been calculated into the current 2009 budget. As a result, Trustees cancelled the May 12 meeting of the Finance, Audit and Investment Committee because the budget that was being prepared for that meeting was determined to be inadequate to meet the challenges of an even steeper funding decline. Libraries throughout Ohio are funded largely by the Public Library Fund (PLF), comprised of 2.22 percent of the state’s total general tax revenue. The decrease in funding to libraries is due to diminished tax receipts in the state’s General Revenue fund. Instead, the Library Trustees’ Executive Committee was set to meet on May 12 in the small meeting room of the Newport Library, 3730 Market St., to discuss the

situation. The committee will review potential courses of action that will be necessary due to the funding decline. The Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County will now prepare for the event that 2009 revenues from the PLF may be down 20 percent from calendar year 2008. The Library had previously planned for an 11 percent reduction. The 2009 projected figures indicate that state revenues to Mahoning County’s libraries could be down $1,956,899 from last year’s funding levels. Since it is nearly the middle of the year, the Library will have to adjust for the additional $840,828 reduction in the remaining months. At the May 12 meeting, the Executive Committee will review the new budget information and consider a list of potential steps that might be taken to address the severe drop in funding.

St. Elizabeth’s expands emergency department

o keep pace with patient volumes, Humility of Mary Health Partners will expand the emergency department at St. Elizabeth Boardman Health Center. Over the past five years, the emergency department has experienced a steady increase in emergency patient volumes. That growth increased dramatically in 2008, fueled by the hospital’s first full year of operation as an acute care facility and the closure of Forum Health’s emergency department on the Beeghly Campus in late 2007. New construction at the hospital will total more than 7,400 square feet and will provide 12 additional emergency treatment

areas, an additional nursing station, and the relocation of the patient registration and triage areas. “We currently have 18 treatment areas in our emergency department,” said Genie Aubel, president of SEBHC. “If patient growth continues as we expect, the additional 12 beds will allow us to meet demand through 2014.” According to Bob Shroder, president and CEO, HMHP’s board of directors recently approved the expenditure of capital funds for the expansion. Total estimated cost of construction and equipment is $4,262,000. “It is exciting to be able to announce this expansion, especially in these economic times,” said Shroder. “We are proud to be able to meet the changing health care needs of the Mahoning Valley and assure residents that they do not need to leave the area for superb care.” Construction will begin following Boardman Township zoning approval and a bidding process and is expected to last just over 13 months.

Office of Veterans Affairs opens on YSU’s campus

n an effort to better serve members of the military returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, Youngstown State University has opened a new Office of Veterans Affairs. The office, led by YSU graduate and Vietnam War veteran Jim Olive, is designed to help veterans with the transition from military life to college life, including assistance with admissions, financial aid, registration, academic advising and tutoring. “At a time when the nation is anticipating the return of thousands of our courageous military men and women from war zones overseas, it is important that Youngstown State University be prepared to offer the special services needed by these individuals,” said Cynthia Anderson, vice president for Student Affairs. The office, located on the third floor of Tod Hall, was developed in response to the federal government’s new GI Bill for postSept. 11, 2001, veterans. The bill, which goes into effect in August, will fund the full cost of tuition at YSU for veterans who are eligible for full benefits. With the bill, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs expects the total number of veterans enrolled in college to increase by 20 percent over the next two years.

J. Arnold acquires Creatore financial firm Jon P. Arnold, MBA Registered Principal, LPL Financial, and owner of J. Arnold and Associates Inc., recently announced that his firm has acquired Creatore Wealth Management from Michael Creatore. J. Arnold and Associates is a local financial services firm that was started in late 2005, and has offices at 1315 Boardman-Canfield Road in Boardman and in Salem.

Dinner with Pavlik and a new book

ast month was a busy and interesting time for Metro Monthly and “Homeplate with Casey Malone.” It started with reporters from the Christian Science Monitor and Properties Magazine interviewing me about economic development and downtown revitalization in Youngstown. Later in the month, I represented Metro Monthly in a focus group hosted by Mill Creek Metroparks, where participants discussed park usage, visitation and assessments of future recreational needs. And late last month, the History Press of Charleston, S.C. published “Remembering Youngstown: Tales from the Mahoning Valley.” A representative from the History Press contacted me last summer about publishing Metro Monthly’s history articles as part of their American Chronicles book series. “Tales from the Mahoning Valley” is the result and the book features some great local writing and over 50 rare historical photographs, some never-before-published. In addition, our new local television program, “Homeplate with Casey Malone,” continued to be fun, well-received, and a real learning experience. (One lesson: Never wear dark trousers on a bakery shoot.) Since its debut in spring, broadcast journalist Casey Malone has taken viewers on fascinating weekly explorations of local restaurants, food manufacturers and ethnic kitchens. Recent episodes have included the Royal Oaks, Chieffo’s Italian Foods and the pierogy operation at Holy Trinity Ukrainian Catholic Church. “Homeplate” airs every Saturday at 7 a.m. on WYTV (Channel 33) and on Sunday at 11:30 a.m. on MYTV. Be sure to tune in this month when Casey visits World Middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik for some knockout spaghetti and meatballs. This special episode airs on Father’s Day weekend, June 20-21. “Homeplate” and the Metro Monthly would like to thank Kelly and his family for graciously inviting us into their home. Enjoy summer and see you next month. – Mark C. Peyko Metro Monthly Publisher P.S.: Be sure to check out our summer recreation guide in this issue.

Towering Ambition Developer moves closer to completing downtown’s first upscale apartments BY MARK C. PEYKO METRO MONTHLY EDITOR

Cleveland-based developer with substantial real estate holdings in downtown Youngstown is hoping that area residents will have an appetite for upscale apartment living in the central business district. Lou Frangos of Cleveland-based Park South Development Co., LLC, and the Frangos Group, will begin leasing the downtown’s first upscale apartment building when Realty Towers opens later this summer. According to Frangos and company representatives, the apartment building is expected to open some time in August. However, the marketing of the apartment building started a few years earlier. During a recent interview, Bill Sperlazza, an employee of the Frangos Group and a marketing agent for the company, thumbed through a spreadsheet of the approximately 96 people who have expressed interest in Realty Towers. Sperlazza, who recently retired from Youngstown State University’s student housing office, sees the downtown as an untapped market. Despite turning up some dry leads, Sperlazza said he was optimistic. He said that his company only needed 23 interested parties to get all the apartments rented. Frangos and Sperlazza see a diverse market for Realty Towers: Cleveland lawyers, faculty from Youngstown State University, empty-nesters, even students. However, before developing the project, Frangos said he needed to convince funding sources on the viability of the project. “There was no upscale housing in the area,” Frangos said. “Cleveland had a history of housing. It’s just more readily accepted there. Downtown Youngstown was a little bit of a challenge.” When Frangos purchased the Realty Building in 2000, the structure had offices and some retail space and was about 30 to 40 percent occupied. “We decided to take a really hard look at what we could do in the building,” Frangos said. “It needed a tremendous amount of rehab, abatement cleanup. For a number of years, we just studied this building and tried to figure out what we could do.” “We did a survey of the economics of it. We did the study, we saw there was

a need [for upscale housing] and we convinced our banks and the city that this was a project worth doing.” Frangos said his company began looking at apartments for the Realty Building in 2003 and 2004, but it took until last year “to structure the deal and make it happen.” As recent as last month, construction was still well under way. Workers were seen carting construction materials throughout the building and a painter was doing intricate restoration work on ornamental plasterwork in the lobby. However, Frangos and Sperlazza have been doing interviews from one of the nearly completed model apartments on an

Realty Towers features a number of floor plans. Apartments are accessed from an original central corridor that is serviced by two elevators. Although the facade of Realty Towers is pretty much unchanged, the inside scarcely resembles the original office building. Spa-

cious, open floor plans give apartment units a contemporary feel. Many of the main living areas allow views of the city from the kitchen and living room. Units have two and three bedroom layouts, and modern amenities like dishwashers, high-speed Internet and a community fitness center will presumably make them competitive with other marketrate housing in the area. Because Realty Towers is sited on the eastern portion of Central Square, many units have commanding views of the downtown. Although the largest of the residential units will be located in the penthouse, some of the most impressive views of the city are seen from the second and third floors. First floor space, ranging from 1,200 to 3,500 square feet, is designated for offices, retail or a business like a restaurant. Frangos said he hopes to secure a national tenant for the first floor. Sarah Lown, development incentive manager for the city of Youngstown, sees the Realty Towers project as good for the city and its future. “All vibrant downtowns have this type of residential housing,” she said. “It’s something that has been missing in Youngstown. There’s a whole school of thought about attracting the ‘creative class’ to your community. That’s a demographic segment that likes to live in a city, is more educated, and tends to work in higher-paying jobs.” Lown added that Realty Towers may appeal to another group – retirees who spend half of the year elsewhere, but have children and grandchildren in town. She said retirees may find Realty Towers appealing because it’s “low-maintenance” and “high-quality.” The Realty Building was constructed in 1924 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Youngstown architects Morris Scheibel and Edgar Stanley designed the classically-embellished 13-story building in the Commercial Style, then popular in Chicago and other major cities. Park South Development Co., LLC, owns the Realty Tower, National City Bank Building, and the Wick Tower. The Frangos Group/USA Parking is the real estate company that manages these properties and others throughout Ohio. Headquartered in Cleveland, the Frangos Group has offices in Youngstown and Warren.

Work continues in New Orleans – one home at a time BY WILLIAM S. PEYKO METRO MONTHLY STAFF WRITER

group of Youngstowners that frequently travels to New Orleans to rebuild Hurricane Katrina-damaged homes met in late April to discuss plans for another work trip in May. A crew consisting of Joe Fraser, Bob Bussard, Joe Baker and myself met Rev. Ed Brienz at St. Columba’s Cathedral in the early morning of May 2 before leaving for another trip. Adam Carpenter, a plumber, and Tommy Timlin, a plumber’s assistant, drove separately. John Pitzulo, a carpenter by trade and our crew’s leader, flew down. A brief history of the group:

Joe Fraser is the driver/owner of the van that has made over 15 trips to New Orleans. I remarked long ago that he’s a no-nonsense guy – which he is – but he has a gentle streak that he tries to hide. Next, there’s Bob Bussard (a.k.a. Handsome Harry) who has a sharp wit and a keen sense of humor. He works well with everyone, even me. A truck driver by trade, he and I bonded on an earlier work trip. Joe Baker is “the new guy.” It’s a title acquired on a previous trip. It was retired for a brief period, but was reinstated because there wasn’t anyone else to badger. So now he’s stuck with it. Our crew leader is John Pitzulo. For this trip, he flew down to New Orleans several times to find a brick home suitable for repair and reconstruction. He feels that our new project fits the bill. Adam Carpenter is our plumber. The first time I met him, I thought he could have stepped out of “Gunsmoke.” Put a bible in his hand and he could portray a preacher with his flowing beard and piercing eyes. Boy, was I wrong! He is anything but a preacher. Another crew member, Tommy Timlin, is a 23-year-old wise beyond his years. His ready smile will disarm and lull you into a sense of well-being, but that’s when he strikes and cuts you to pieces. The last member of our most recent work party is me, Bill “Biff ” Peyko, a shy, sensitive person. I’m out of my element on a construction site, but somebody has to give an account of this trip. The trip gets under day – Four of our crew left Youngstown at about 6:30 a.m. on May 2. This time, we paid for our own meals along the way as we were on a lean travel budget. We arrived in Nashville at 4 p.m. and stayed at the Methodist Boy Scout Camp building for the night. We were provided bunk beds and the accommodations were much better than on previous visits. We left Nashville on Sunday at about 6:30 a.m. and continued to New Orleans. In Alabama, we passed row upon row of house trailers. The trailers were intended for those who had lost their dwellings in Hurricane Katrina, but they were just sit-

ting rotting in the fields. As we came closer to New Orleans, a discerning eye could see still hurricane damage to vegetation and trees. We arrived at our destination at about 5 p.m. We freshened up and went to Gallier Street where a group of sisters from the Marianite Order gave us a light lunch. Two of the nuns told us of their dealing with the flooding caused by Katrina. Their stories were very interesting and the restoration work was remarkable. We met up with Miss Lydia, a New Orleans resident (and now friend), whose house we had rebuilt during previous trips. We met a woman named Lisa and her two daughters. This trip, we will be working on their future home. Monday, May 4 – We arrived at the home we were to finish gutting and restoring. It was a ranch house located in a nice residential neighborhood with several vacant homes. The house next door appeared to be in much better condition overall, but is scheduled for demolition. We got busy in a hurry. We removed a big sliding door and three doors and frames in the front of the house. All but one door were replaced. Adam Carpenter removed pipes and other plumbing fixtures. We unloaded new windows and lumber as well as a bathtub and shower. John Pitzulo and Bob Bussard removed and installed several windows. The rest of the crew pulled nails from studs and beams for the balance of the week. The wood framing needed to be completely clean, otherwise it would have hampered drywall installation. The debris we amassed was piled up until a dumpster arrived at the site. We left work dirty and tired. John Pitzulo was happy with the progress we made. That evening, Rev. Ed took us to a place in the French Quarter called Café Dumont for coffee and a dessert loaded with powdered sugar. It was like a doughnut, but without the hole. The rest of the week was

highlighted by special meals during and after work hours. St. Jude’s – our home-away-from-home in New Orleans – was much better than in previous visits. It’s across the street from Our Lady of Guadalupe, a church with a lengthy history in the city. St. Jude’s was quite secure. Each of us was assigned a wristband and any visitor without one would not be admitted into the building. Our quarters were on the second floor with about 50 two-tiered bunk beds. There were four or five showers, as well as bathroom facilities. I presume there were the same facilities for the women. Breakfast consisted of scrambled eggs, grits, a piece of cooked ground meat and coffee or milk. Cold cereal also was available. Lunch offerings included bread, peanut butter, jelly and an assortment of lunch meats for sandwiches. We did not take advantage of these as Father Ed had supplied us with pizza, “po’boy” sandwiches, barbecued wings and Kentucky Fried Chicken. Tuesday, May 5 – Joe Baker and I loaded construction debris into the dumpster. We helped John Pitzulo and Handsome Harry while I removed old wiring from the studs. Several outlets needed to be removed. At first, only Tommy Timlin kidded around but eventually Adam Carpenter joined in. Adam probably felt he should join in or lose his sanity. He gleefully showed me wiring or outlets that I had missed. I accused him of replacing them while I wasn’t looking and he just smiled. In the meantime, we kept removing old plumbing and made preparations to replace old material with new plastic piping. Meanwhile, John and Harry removed and replaced windows and built framing for the kitchen cabinets. They framed in the doorways and certain sections of the windows. Joshua used a trumpet in the bible to have the walls of Jericho come down, but I did him one better. While removing wire from a wall, my pry bar pulled the wire out

and – lo and behold – a brick wall came tumbling down. After this incident, I was watched more closely. Tommy Timlin had me put metal covers on the studs with the new pipe fittings. Joe and I continued pulling nails and we swept all the rooms before leaving for the day. In the early afternoon, we were visited by a group of nuns and Lisa, the homeowner. All were very interested in hearing what progress we had made. They thought John was really a magician for all the changes that were happening. For lunch, Father Ed treated us with more po’boy sandwiches. Wednesday, May 6 – We were on the job at 7 a.m. We removed vents from the attic that were in 6-foot sections. We removed a large air conditioning fan from the attic. This took most of the morning. The two Joes and I removed tile from the area where John and Harry were framing for cupboards. Adam and Tom removed some pipes from the concrete floor and replaced and cemented in the new ones. Adam put more tubing throughout the attic and the house. Adam kept finding wiring in the beams that I neglected to remove. A few of us placed the shower stall and John and Harry framed it in. During the early afternoon, I felt a little dizzy (more than usual). John Pitzulo wouldn’t let me do anything more, so I goofed off for a while. Earlier, when we took up the tile for the framing, I probably inhaled fumes from the torch. The fumes and heat were probably what did me in. That night we were invited to the home of a former Youngstowner living in New Orleans. He was once a Mahoning County Sheriff ’s deputy and is a friend of Father Ed’s. On our way to their house, we ran into a biker parade. A team of Clydesdales led the parade. Even from a distance, the horses were huge and magnificent. There were all types of bikes, and what was really quite noticeable was that the bikers were all wearing helmets – in different sizes and shapes. We saw hundreds of them as they roared past us. We arrived at Robert and Cindy Boussett’s house and were greeted by the couple and their two active dogs. We were treated to true Southern hospitality, as Cindy was originally from Nashville. Robert is producing for various shows and seems to be doing quite well. Cindy really knocked herself out – crawfish soup and a four-course meal with homemade bread, hot-and-spicy jambalaya, and dessert. The dessert didn’t turn out as she had expected, but, boy, I ate everything. Thursday, May 7 – We left for work at around 7 a.m. The final framing for the tub and shower had been completed by John and Harry. Adam and Tommy put more plumbing fittings together, hooked up the drain plugs, and completed more SEE NEW ORLEANS, PAGE 11

fittings in and out of the house. John and Harry did framing wherever needed. They installed brickwork and siding where I had pulled the wall down. They kept making corrections and completed a total of 16 windows, two doors and one sliding door. Father Ed brought us pizza and barbecued wings for lunch. For dinner, we ate at Miss Lydia’s. She made her famous fried chicken and potato salad. John, Adam and Tommy installed a dishwasher and garbage disposal in Lydia’s home. (She had waited almost two years.) Lydia’s home is now complete. (I told her that Metro Monthly might be contacting her for their new innovative TV program called “Homeplate.”) After Rev. Ed demonstrated the dos and don’ts for operating the new appliances, we went home. Friday, May 8 – We were on the job by 8 a.m. We kept busy pulling nails from the beams and studs. We loaded all unused items in a shanty behind the house. Adam locked Tommy in the shanty, so I had to rescue my adopted son. He was so grateful that he tried to lock me in it, too! John Pitzulo ran into a problem with the windows because of pronounced gaps between the windows and bricks. The structural gaps were too wide for caulking. He solved it by caulking the edge of the bricks. He then pressed a strip of aluminum onto the brick to fill the gap, thereby sealing it. Unfortunately, some had too wide a gap. John will correct those during a June visit. Our crew cleaned up all the rooms for the last time and put all the tools in the trailer. Lisa, the homeowner, and a friend showed up and Father Ed gave her a tour. We waited several hours for the nuns. They took pictures of Lisa pointing to a sign that said “St. Jude’s Project.” They took pictures of all of us, and now our most-recent project was history. Father Ed gave us Kentucky Fried Chicken and french fries. That evening we went to Bubba Gump’s for a farewell party. Attending were the Youngstown crew, Miss Lydia and her family, Lisa and her daughter, several nuns, Rev. Ed, Rev. Bob, and several Loyola students – a total of 23 people. It was loud and laughter filled the gathering. The host at Bubba Gump’s had a trivia quiz and most of our crew won prizes. Sister Joyce gave a speech thanking the efforts of all the Ohioans – before and after us. She prayed for our safe return home and asked Lisa to say a few words. Lisa got up to talk, but started to cry. She was so broken up. Miss Lydia came to the rescue, and she spoke on her behalf saying how God had brought us to her and Lisa in their time of need. As usual, Miss Lydia knew just what to say. According to John Pitzulo, the ongoing work on Lisa’s home relies heavily on electrical work now being completed. School groups will be coming down weekly with some older volunteers to continue other tasks. Tiles will be removed, insulation applied, drywall prepared – the list goes on and on. Hopefully, the house will be completed by the end of summer. We managed to do it for Miss Lydia, and, hopefully, the same can be done for Lisa and her family.

GIVE YOUR BODY A

TUNE UP! How does Cellfood work?

When you mix Cellfood with water or juice and ingest it, its proprietary watersplitting action begins the moment you take the first sip. This cascading time release of oxygen typically peaks within 8-12 hours, and then keeps working hour after hour. In partnership with the body’s own natural intelligence, Cellfood releases oxygen whenever and wherever it’s needed— and if no longer needed, no more is released. And, its essential natural minerals, enzymes, amino acids and electrolytes are delivered simultaneously throughout the body on the deepest cellular level.

Racquetball, handball, squash The Youngstown-Warren area has many private, member-based racquetball facilities. Consult the Yellow Pages for listings. Jewish Community Center of Youngstown, 505 Gypsy Lane, Youngstown; 330-746-3251. Web site: www.jccyoungstown.org. Offers a membershipbased fitness facility with racquetball courts. YMCA (Warren Family Branch), 210 High St. N.W., Warren; 330-394-1565. Offers courts for individuals, groups and leagues. Call for information. YMCA ( Youngstown Central Branch), 17 N. Champion St., Youngstown; 330-744-8411. Web site: www.youngstownymca.org. Offers courts for individual, group and league play.

Importantly, Cellfood won’t create free radical damage. Free radicals— believed to be a primary cause of aging and disease— are positively charged ions of oxygen. Since Cellfood’s released oxygen molecules are negatively charged, they seek out and attract these dangerous free radicals, joining with them to form stabilized oxygen.

Fess Parker’s great 2007 Syrah was also being poured, and I tried it with the roasted pork in rosemary gravy. This was a fine match for someone looking for a bold food and wine pairing. My final white selection was the 2005 Tenuta Carretta “Cayega” Roero Arneis DOC from the Piedmont region of north-

ern Italy. This crisp, straw-colored wine was excellent with the lemon-pepper Merluza fish entrée. Another red selection also from Italy was the 2005 Masi Serego Alighieri Bello Ovile. This tasty blend of Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Ciliegiolo grapes was the most elegant wine that I sampled at the tasting. It was very tasty with the carved prime rib. France’s exceptional 2005 Chateau Maris La Touge was my final red pick. Rich and powerful red fruit flavors followed by a spicy bacon and herb-tinged finish had many people coming back for more. The Cajun-flavored salmon was a surprisingly good pairing for this bold French red. The week of May 18, Chilean wine importer Carlos Figueroa brought his excellent estate-bottled wine selections from Chile and Argentina to the Mahoning Valley for a series of tastings at some of our finest local venues. Springfield Grille, Five Points Wine and Bar, Chalet Premier Wine Shop, Wine Styles of Howland, and the newly-remodeled and expanded Vintage Estate provided the perfect environment for Figueroa to showcase his fine South American wines. On May 18, the Springfield Grille hosted a wine dinner with some of Figueroa’s selections. Two food courses really stood out. The third course of jumbo shrimp and Gulf scallops speared with charred pineapple laced with tequila, cilantro, and lime was paired to the Cavas Submarinas Pinot Noir (85 percent) and Carmenere (15 percent) blend from Chile. This unique cuvee features lush, berry fruit flavors and a long finish tinged with smoke and spice. The textured fruit fla-

vors of this wine were simply outstanding with the smoky charred flavors of this entrée. The main course of Spanish-style London broil with a Vidalia onion tartlet was paired to the 2007 Vina Santa Cruz Chaman Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (50 percent) and Syrah (50 percent) blend. This dark fruit and berry flavored wine has a spicy, smoke-tinged finish that was perfectly matched to the Grille’s London broil. Five Points Wine and Bar was our next destination for fine South American wine. The Five Points kitchen had a large selection of imported Chilean cheeses to sample with Figueroa’s South American wines. A crowd favorite here was the 2008 Puerto Infinito Reserve Chardonnay from the Aconcagua Valley of Chile. Bright and lively apple fruit flavors with a long crisp finish will make this a great white wine for upcoming summertime festivities. If you’re looking for a lightly-oaked Chardonnay with gobs of fresh fruit flavors, this should be on your shopping list. The award-winning Vina Von Siebenthal 2004 Carabantes was my favorite at this tasting. This tasty Chilean red was featured in May’s Decanter magazine on its “Recommended” list. This mostly-Syrah red oozes lush red fruit flavors and finishes long with smoky sweet oak flavors. I find it reminiscent of Rhone’s Cote Roties style of the Syrah grape (very European). Figueroa’s next stop was Wine Styles for a Friday afternoon tasting of his wines. A crowd favorite here was the 2004 Puerto Infinito Carmenere Reserva from Chile’s Aconcagua

wine guy BY JOHN WEBSTER Valley. Lush and juicy red fruit flavors are coupled with a finish of creamy spice. If you’re weary of watery-tasting Merlots that offer no pleasure, this is a wine you must try. My favorite selection was the Vina Von Siebenthal 2005 Parcela No. 7 Reserva

from Chile. This Bordeaux-style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (35 percent), Merlot (25 percent), Petite Verdot (25 percent) and Cabernet Franc (15 percent) is one of the finest Meritage-style wines I have tasted in the last two years. At under $25, it easily compares to wines costing two to three times more. With textured red fruit flavors and a long supple finish, this wine is an excellent choice for roasted red meats. Chalet Premier wine shop in North Lima was our next visit for an early afternoon tasting. Figueroa poured the 2003 Gianquinta Robles Malbec from Argentina. This powerful but elegant red exhibits lush berry fruit flavors and a textured finish that seems to last forever. Roasted chicken and grilled meats would be a fine accompaniment to this red. Later that afternoon, we traveled to Vintage Estate Wine and Beer in Boardman for the grand opening of their new wine bar. The new addition will feature handcrafted beers on tap and a large selection of wines by the

glass, and the new kitchen will produce hand-stretched fresh dough flatbreads with various toppings. In the bar, live music was provided by keyboardist Gianna Colella, while in the wine shop, I joined previous owner Ron Bush, Figueroa, and Paul Annechini in pouring wine samples. Figueroa’s 2007 Chaman Syrah-Cab Reserva was the quickest wine to sell out. Its bold fruit flavors and supple finish proved again to be a crowd favorite. Another pleasing wine was the Kunde Estate 2007 Sauvignon Blanc from California. Crisp citrus and grapefruit flavors and a clean finish should make this a great choice for coming summer months. The Marquis Phillips 2007 Sarah’s Blend from Australia was another crowd-pleaser. This red just overflows with supple red fruit flavors and finishes clean with a hint of pepper and spice. Next month, I’ll have more information on Phil and Sandy Reda’s new wine bar. On May 15, I traveled to the L’Uva Bella Winery for their grand opening celebration at 6597 Center Road in Lowellville (Route 224, past Poland). They feature their own handcrafted wines made from Californian and Chilean grape juice, offering a limited menu of brick-fired pizzas, cheese plates and sandwiches. On opening night, I ordered a bottle of L’Uva Bella’s handcrafted Pinot Noir ($14.08) and one of their handcrafted Margherita pizzas. Their Pinot was a textbook example of how a good Pinot should taste. Ripe and supple fruit flavors and a spicy smoke-tinged finish made this a great choice with our pizza. A featured guest of the celebration was Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini, who is having L’Uva Bella produce a wine for his own “Round One” label. His Southpaw Cabernet Sauvignon will be available later this summer; having enjoyed a preliminary sample, I look forward to tasting the final product. I had a great time at the L’Uva Bella grand opening, and I look forward to my next visit. Debonne’s wine maker Ed Trebbets will be on hand on June 11 at Wine Styles to pour his many samplings and answer questions. Other upcoming events include June 4, Scacchetti’s Summer Food and Wine Taste; June 30, Five Points Wine and Bar Ridge Vineyards tasting; June 20, Vintage Estate Third Saturday tasting; alternating Thursday and Friday tastings, Wine Styles. Hope to see you around the valley at summer tastings!
