VALLEY UPDATE

Fine Arts Council expands board, names new director

Department of Defense awards $365,000 to YSU

he Fine Arts Council of Trumbull County is announcing the appointment of a new director the expansion of its board. The changes were announced following a May board meeting.

oungstown State University has been selected to receive a $365,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Defense to purchase a 3D printer that will continue to enhance YSU’s additive manufacturing research and education capabilities. The Department of Defense announced the award after a highly competitive grant process under the Defense University Research Instrumentation Program. The Department of Defense received nearly 700 proposals, but only 111 academic institutions received awards. There are seven types of additive manufacturing processes,” said Brett Conner, YSU associate professor of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering ABRAHAM and director of Advanced Manufacturing Workforce Initiatives. “With this new equipment, YSU students and faculty will have access to six of the seven types of processes either here at YSU or at America Makes.” The new 3D printer uses a process called “directed energy deposition” that involves spraying powdered CONNER metal or ceramic in front of a laser that then fuses the powder. An animation of the process can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tT0LtJIAe9Y. “With this additional equipment, we believe YSU now provides our students, faculty and the community with access to additive manufacturing technology unmatched by any other university in the nation,” said Martin Abraham, YSU provost and vice president for Academic Affairs. The Defense University Research Instrumentation Program supports the purchase of state-ofthe-art equipment that augments current university capabilities or develops new capabilities to perform cutting edge defense research and associated graduate student research training. The awards are the result of a merit competition jointly conducted by three Department of Defense research offices: the Army Research Office, Office of Naval Research, and Air Force Office of Scientific Research. YSU’s award is through the Office of Naval Research.

Trustees award contract for Boardman Library

he Building and Sites Committee of the Public Library of Youngstown & Mahoning County has awarded the contract for the renovation project at Boardman Library to Adolph Johnson & Son Company of Mineral Ridge. The company was one of five bidders on the renovation project. Their bid, which includes four alternates, was the lowest at $600,655. Work is expected to begin around the second week of July. The branch is expected to remain open through most of the project, but there is a possibility of a short closing at the end of August while work is done on the entrance. More information will be available closer to that time.

The Butler Institute of American Art is seeking volunteers at its museum in Youngstown. Volunteer positions are in a number of areas. See related story below. “The Boardman branch will remain open as much as possible during the construction project and we would like our patrons to note that as work is being completed in various sections, library materials and furnishings will be relocated to clear those spaces. Staff members and signage throughout the branch will help direct customers to the materials they need during this time. Library patrons can also use nearby branches, such as Poland and Newport libraries, if they wish to avoid using the Boardman Library during construction,” said Library Communications and PR Director Janet Loew. Construction is expected to take several months. The Boardman branch, which opened in 1992, has had some repairs and remodeling over the years, but it has not had a major renovation until the current project.

WINE GUY Monthly column: Page 25

Groundbreaking Youngstown plan marks anniversary BY SEAN POSEY METRO MONTHLY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

or years, the city of Youngstown continued to plan for growth even as the metropolitan area rapidly suburbanizied. The decline of the once vaunted local steel industry in the 1970s pushed the rudderless city into uncharted waters. With a continuously shrinking population and a crippled economy, Youngstown entered the ranks of the country’s most distressed urban areas. As civic morale hit its lowest point, a new idea came to the fore. After years of attempting to plan for growth, the city would violate traditional notions of urban planning: Youngstown decided to accept and plan for shrinkage. The genesis of what became the most talked about planning initiative in the country dates back to before 2002. “It could go back to when Council and John Swierz led an effort to reserve money for a new plan,” former Youngstown City Planner Anthony Kobak remembered. “Some members of Council went to Chattanooga, Tenn., which had recently completed a plan that got a lot of publicity. They then realized that Youngstown should update its comprehensive plan.” Along with the guidance of Urban Strategies Inc. of Toronto, Canada, the city held a series of stakeholders meetings to help construct the first citywide plan since 1974. Jay Williams, then Community Development Agency director; William D’Avignon, deputy planning director; Anthony Kobak, project manager; and Hunter Morrison, director of Urban and Regional Studies at Youngstown State University, all played key roles early in the process. According to Kobak, “The shrinking city concept wasn’t in anyone’s mind yet, and that’s a good thing. You go into a planning process not knowing what the vision will be. You have some ideas, but

2010 @ 10

you don’t want to sway the process.” In December 2002, nearly 1,400 citizens descended on Stam Stambaugh Auditorium to attend a “public vvis vision” meeting held by the city. By the next neex year, volunteer committees and sub-co sub-committees om went to work on neighborhood property surveys and various aspects of w what became known as the “Youngstown 220 2010 Plan.” In July 2005, th the he city of Youngstown formally adopte adopted ed the “Youngstown 2010 Pl Plan”” as the tth city’s guiding vision for the future. It quickly captured national and international attention. Within a very short period of time, a city known primarily for mismanagement and organized-crime connections became the destination for anyone interested in turning around America’s shrinking cities. The American Planning Association recognized the plan in 2006 with the ‘National Planning Excellence Award for Community Outreach,’ and “Youngstown 2010” made The New York Time’s ‘Sixth Annual Year in Ideas’ list. Media outlets from Europe to Japan descended on Youngstown to see what PBS called “The Incredible Shrinking City.” In recent years the spotlight put on “Youngstown 2010” has faded. Where is the city 10 years later, and what is the legacy of the plan today? The “Youngstown 2010” “Vision” accepted that Youngstown had become a smaller city. It called for a redefining of the city’s role in northeast Ohio’s economy. Improving the quality of life and the area’s local and national image occupied a central position in the vision; and “Youngstown 2010,” unlike other previous plans, called for widespread community involvement. The nearly three-year-long envisioning process produced several planning “themes” which have seen a mixture of successes, failures and unrealized possibilities. See 2010, Page 7

In July 2005, the city of Youngstown formally adopted the “Youngstown 2010 Plan” as the city’s guiding vision for the future. It quickly captured national and international attention. 6 METROMONTHLY.NET | JUNE/JULY 2015

2010, from Page 6 A key theme emphasized returning vibrancy to a distressed downtown. The last decade witnessed a miniature renaissance, as the building of the Chevrolet Center (now the Covelli Center) and the creation of the downtown entertainment district helped spawn a collection of bars, restaurants and clubs in the once desolate central business district. New residential development also occurred downtown. In 2015, the downtown received its first plan in years, something “Youngstown 2010” specifically called for. A partnership between the city and Youngstown State University helped finally open a direct connection with the downtown via the construction of the Williamson College of Business Administration. The university’s Centennial Campus Master Plan states that it was “developed within the framework of ‘Youngstown 2010.’ ” After much talk, the city obtained a new zoning code, thanks primarily to “Youngstown 2010.” “The plan called for making various changes to land use and said that we should adopt a new zoning ordinance,” Community Development Agency Director William D’Avignon remembered. “This is only the third time in the history of the city that there’s been a complete revamping of the city zoning ordinance.” Calling for the creation of a “green network” throughout the city is one of the more unique parts of the plan. An early success involved obtaining a Clean Ohio grant to enable the purchase and reclaim 200 underdeveloped acres next to Lincoln Park on the East Side. A hike-bike trail that takes advantage of the underutilized waterfront and connects to Mill Creek Park and the university is mentioned as a possibility in the plan. Linking the park to Market Street through rapidly depopulating streets like Falls Avenue on the South Side has also yet to happen, although some streets like Old Furnace, which connected to Glenwood, are now partially closed off and returning to nature. However, the call to “green” Youngstown helped inspired a variety of environmental activists. Attorney Debra Weaver helped launch the “Grey to Green Festival,” an environmentally friendly festival dedicated to promoting the greening and revitalization of Youngstown. “Grey to Green” ran for five years straight and featured guests like Will Allen, one of the country’s most prominent urban farmers.

”The idea [for the ‘Grey to Green Festival’] sprang directly from having read that plan. The whole idea behind it was to get everyone on board doing something with the land and community.” Atty. Debra Weaver, founder, “Grey to Green Festival” “The idea sprang directly from having read that plan,” Weaver said. “The whole idea behind it was to get everyone on board doing something with the land and community. And though I don’t think the greening of the city is moving as fast it should be, I am amazed at the numbers of gardens popping up in vacant lots and side yards throughout the neighborhoods.” Creating competitive industrial districts has met with some success, but traditional heavy industry brought the city’s largest economic coup in years with the nearly $1 billion expansion of the Vallourec Star pipe mill on U.S. Route 422. Locating a National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute in the city garnered numerous headlines for the area and a mention in President Obama’s State of the Union address two years straight. Many hope it might eventually jump-start the local economy in years to come. Yet Youngstown’s overall economy remains weak; the city has not returned to pre-recession employment levels. Youngstown’s economic role in the region remains very much ill defined, and that failure serves as one of the most unrealized parts of “2010.” Youngstown’s progress in creating “viable neighborhoods,” a central theme of the plan, is also mixed. As the downtown core continues to strengthen, the city’s neighborhoods continue to experience high levels of vacancy. This process revealed itself in 2011, when Youngstown registered an 18 percent population drop in the decennial census— the largest decline in city history. In 2009, the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation (YNDC) formed to fill the need for a capable neighborhood

“The ‘2010 Plan’ was about hope and providing a certain type of goal, but was there ever any real interest in implementing it? I would say there wasn’t, other than the marketing and economic developments of it.” – Dr. John Russo, former coordinator of the Labor Studies Program at YSU

community development organization. At that point, the Garden District and Idora neighborhood plans were both complete, but progress stalled after the city’s chief planner resigned and was not replaced. “The city was to begin doing neighborhood plans after the ‘2010 Plan’ was completed and adopted,” said Ian Beniston, executive director of the YNDC. Beniston helped develop one of the first neighborhood plans for the Idora area. “I doubt there would be any Idora neighborhood plan if there had never been a ‘2010 Plan,’ ” Beniston stated. “ But ‘a call to action,’ that part of the ‘2010’ vision, is what we are really about here—moving beyond the planning to actual concrete results.” The YNDC began contracting with Youngstown in 2013 to provide neighborhood-planning services. They currently have action teams working on plans in Powerstown, Lincoln Knolls, Brownlee Woods, Crandall Park and the Garden District. In 2014, YNDC released a “neighborhood conditions report” with updated information from the 2010 Census. However, they caution that the report “is an important tool for policy and planning decisions, but it is not a strategy within itself.” Dr. John Russo, former coordinator of the Labor Studies Program at the Williamson College of Business Administration and co-director of the Center for Working-Class Studies at Youngstown State University, has extensively studied and written about the plan and the post-planning process. “The ‘2010 Plan’ was about hope and providing a certain type of goal, but was there ever any real interest in implementing it? I would say there wasn’t, other than the marketing and economic developments of it,” Russo said. “When you gather all that community support and nothing happens, there emerges a very deep sense of betrayal in the neighborhoods. And I think that hurts everyone.” The year 2010 didn’t signify the end of the comprehensive plan, merely a date that coincided with the decennial census. “Youngstown 2010” was meant to serve as “a guide for the community and future city administrators to follow and implement,” according to the plan. But it remains unclear if any mayor since Jay Williams has embraced the plan as an overall strategy The legacy and future of the plan today remains a contested one, even as the spirit of “Youngstown 2010” continues to inspire local community activists and neighborhood planners.

MVHS announces winners of preservation awards

he Historic Preservation Committee of the Mahoning Valley Historical Society Board of Directors is announcing the winners of the 2015 Historic Preservation Awards. The awards honor those in Mahoning and Trumbull counties who take an active role in preserving historic buildings, sites, and districts. The categories and winners are as follows: Community Revitalization Award: Smoky Hollow War Memorial – The memorial in Smoky Hollow lists residents of the Hollow who were killed in World War II and the Korean and Vietnam wars. It was found that the plaque on the memorial had one soldier’s name wrong and was missing another World War II soldier completely. Through extensive genealogical research, Gerald Nunziato and Felix Lazazzera compiled information on all the soldiers, including where they were born, where they went to school, their address in Smoky Hollow, date of enlistment, branch of the service, where they served, their assignment when they died, and where they are buried. The researchers were also able to get photographs of each soldier. All of this information has been compiled and is available in the MVHS Archives. A new plaque was made for the memorial that corrects the name of Daniel Novak, adds Joseph Siegel, adds one soldier from the Vietnam War, and categorizes the names by the war in which they fought. Commercial Revitalization Award: The Raymond John Wean Foundation – Market Block Building – Warren’s Market Block building was built in 1868. In 2011 the Chesler Group of Cleveland purchased the building specifically to renovate it for the Raymond John Wean Foundation. The finished building houses the offices of the Wean Foundation, additional office space for new initiatives funded by the Foundation, a community meeting space, conference rooms, break rooms, a fitness room, and reception areas. MVHS Board of Directors’ Award of Achievement: Mahoning Dispatch Building & Canfield Historical Society – For 91 years, The Mahoning Dispatch served Canfield and surrounding area, earning the distinction of being the oldest continuously published newspaper owned by a single family in Mahoning County. In 1893, the business moved to 23 S. Broad St., to an 1866 building originally built by Pierpont Edwards. The Mahoning Dispatch was published by three generations of the Fowler family until 1968. It was left to the Canfield Historical Society. The Society maintains the building and has worked with preservationists to institute best practices for maintenance of the printing presses. It also has digitized 91 years of the Dispatch, which are available online through the Library of Congress. Jeanne D. Tyler – Honored or her commitment to the historic preservation in the region, especially through her support of restoration projects for Stambaugh Auditorium, and the Tyler Mahoning Valley History Center and Arms Family Museum of the Mahoning Valley Historical Society. William Conti – Honored for his dedication and leadership with preservation and restoration projects at Stambaugh Auditorium, including: the auditorium ceiling restoration, the E. M. Skinner organ, and renovations of the courtyard patio and the historic ballroom. Conti also was instrumental in the Forest Glen Estates Neighborhood Association gaining historic district status on the National Register of Historic Places. The winners were honored at the Mahoning Valley Historical Society’s 140th Annual meeting, which was held on June 16 at the Tyler Mahoning Valley History Center in downtown Youngstown.

Reclaiming land, memory with local food BY ELIZABETH GLASGOW METRO MONTHY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

ears ago I wrote a post for a mostly abandoned food blog called Rattlebox in which I waxed poetic about the wonders of the Northside Farmers Market. I’d found currants at Patty Brungard’s booth and bought them immediately. I hadn’t seen currants since the late sixties or early seventies when my maternal grandmother and I had made raspberry currant jam from the fruit in her garden. Being a Boardman girl, it was a wonder to me that people who lived in the city grew food in their yards, but my grandmother assured me that the family had stretched my grandfather’s railroad salary with produce from their Hollywood Avenue lot. I don’t remember a great deal about either of my grandmothers, both of whom had passed by the early 1980s. What comes to mind immediately is how my memories of them, indeed my memories of most of my folks, are linked with preparing food for family. Both grandmothers lived on the South Side of Youngstown. The Glasgows had the larger lot, situated two doors down from Pleasant Grove Presbyterian Church, and it was planted with cherry trees, rhubarb and grapes. The narrow Davidson place on Hollywood was really packed with grapes, currants, raspberries and fruit trees, and they’d kept chickens in the garage. My grandmothers were my first introduction to the kitchen. When my brother and I visited Grandma Glasgow, I recall that she, a good Missouri-born cook, kept a can of leftover bacon grease on the kitchen counter and propped her broken oven door closed with a kitchen chair. Unable to say no to her grandchildren, she also allowed my brother and me to dress in my father’s old clothes and paint the inside of the doghouse. Mom was a reluctant La Choy and Bisquick sort of cook who tried to prepare meals for her ungrateful children between teaching, keeping house and taking care of elderly relatives. She adhered to popular dishes from the “Angels and Friends” cookbook – barbecue beef, Pretzel Salad and a creation fondly referred to as “meatlump.” It was Grandma Glasgow who taught me to cook Thanksgiving dinner, and Grandma Davidson who set the bar for homemade cookies, jams and pies. I still

Aunt Marjorie also had a television cooking program called “Kitchen Corner” that was broadcast on WFMJ when I was a kid. Somewhere I have a photo of Aunt Marge, my aunts and most of my cousins on the Davidson side, all seated around a table covered in punch cups and ham sandwiches on the set of her show. I imagine this was the least-interesting show ever to most viewers, but by the coquettish look on my 5-year-old face I’m sure I was thinking it was my introduction to celebrity. When we packed up the Hollywood house after my grandmother’s death, I found Mom weeping quietly over the patterned bottom of an old glass her mom had used to press a design into the tops of her cookies. It still contained a little cookie dough caught in the grooves. Not all the food memories came from my grandmothers. My Dad’s sister, Aunt Jean, made creamed chicken with heavy cream and sherry, served in puff pastry cups for Sunday dinner following church. Another of her staples was a barbecue ham sandwich made from Isaly’s Chipped Chopped Ham

and simmered in a ketchup-and-grapejelly sauce. I’m sure it was a staple in many Youngstown kitchens of the 1960s. Each year for my birthday my sister, Laurie, still makes a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting for which she won a prize at the Canfield Fair. She cans her own bread-and-butter pickles, piccalilli. and strawberry preserves. Many of our holiday traditions came from the meals she has served over the last three decades, and no Christmas Eve is complete without her hors d’oeuvres table. My brother, Rich, has readily taken over Thanksgiving dinner for his side of the family. I still take credit for teaching him to cook the holiday meal, although the very first thing I did was to imbed a cleaver in my middle finger, causing me to spend the day with a bulbous gauze wrap on my hand. These days, work and obligations keep me from puttering in the kitchen as much as I’d like, and being single makes me lazy about creating actual meals. I contribute mostly side dishes and desserts to family holidays. Still, Laurie’s big aluminum canner is in my pantry, the kitchen drawers are filled with my grandmothers’ rolling pins, cookie cutters and egg timers, and Mom’s 1950 “Betty Crocker Cookbook” remains a staple. I overindulge in produce at the market at every opportunity, conceding to the fact that I’m a culinary sentimentalist who loves the idea of food grown close to home and the neighborhood farmers’ markets in the Yo that enable us to reclaim both land and memory.

his past year – as I approached 60 years old – I finally started to get it! The way to happiness is accepting life as it is. Seeing the good in your choices and knowing that blessings are endless! Our family has been challenged with two members suffering with cancer. And on April 18, my brother’s four-year battle with cancer ended. I am just exhausted with sadness. Even though our family prepared for what we knew would happen, the pain is overwhelming. To remember his joy in moments of togetherness is my saving grace. Each day is a gift, it seems. I ask why I have been spared. I made a decision to accomplish as much as possible in this short lifetime. I hope to touch as many lives as possible. To make a difference every day. People look for meaning and purpose their entire lives, but I think your purpose can be fulfilled every day by simply living that day to its fullest with the happiest of intentions. My hopes are that young minds can understand this and stop searching so hard for happiness. It’s right outside your door!

On vacation and dreaming of doughnuts BY MARK C. PEYKO METRO MONTHLY EDITOR

ood memories have the power to take you back through time and space. Vacation food memories – especially ones experienced as a child – can linger forever. Because our family traveled annually from northeastern Ohio to Wildwood, N.J., the journey required a stockpile of provisions – a large, carefully packed cooler, a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken, and a Kellogg’s Jumbo Assortment of cereals for morning. The trip was a multi-state journey that also included an afternoon stop in rural Maryland, so we needed proper fortification. When we were younger, our dad packed the family car in early evening and drove most of the night. As we approached the eastern edge of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, he pulled into a service plaza to get a few hours of rest before sunrise. A little after daybreak, the children were ready to get down to the business of breakfast – in the close quarters of the car! While our parents had coffee, we competed for our favorite cereals. Because the wax paper in those little fold-out boxes had little patience for milk, breakfast was quick and deliberate. After some freshening up and a quick head count, we were on our way. The visit to Maryland was really for our mom. It gave her the opportunity to see her two elderly bachelor uncles and deliver boxes and coffee cans filled with cookies. For the kids, the detour meant a temporary slowdown in the trip’s trajectory. By late afternoon, we were hot, restless and more than ready to get to the shore. Once we saw signs for New Jersey’s Garden State Parkway, the trip was back on track. At this point – with our travel rations ebbing – we started eating more like the locals. We stopped at roadway farm stands for Jersey tomatoes, peaches and Bing cherries. While childhood travel was always an adventure, there was a point – always on the way to the beach resort – where time slowed to a crawl. It was hot, the traffic didn’t move fast enough and the landscape seemed unchanged for miles. But then you noticed sand on the edge of the roadway and the air cooled and freshened. Almost there. By nightfall, as we approached our destination’s exit at Rio Grande Avenue, our excitement rose. We were exhausted, yet exhilarated. We rolled down the car windows to feel the night air.

Check the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s UV Index before you spend time outdoors and plan your sun protection accordingly, using these tips: ◆ Seek shade, especially during midday. ◆ Cover up with clothing to protect exposed skin. ◆ Wear a hat with a wide brim to shade the face, head, ears, and neck. ◆ Wear sunglasses that wrap around and block as close to 100 percent of both UVA and UVB rays as possible. ◆ Use sunscreen with broad spectrum (UVA and UVB) protection and sun protective factor (SPF) 15 or higher. ◆ Remember to reapply sunscreen at least every 2 hours and after swimming, sweating, or toweling off. Facts About Skin Cancer

When you’re outdoors, it’s easy to forget how important it is to protect yourself from the sun. Unprotected skin can be damaged by the sun’s UV rays in as little as 15 minutes. Yet it can take as long as 12 hours for skin to show the full effect of sun exposure. Even if it’s cool and cloudy, you still need protection. UV rays, not the temperature, do the damage. Tanned skin is damaged skin. Any change in the color of your skin after time outside—whether sunburn or suntan—indicates damage from UV rays. Indoor tanning exposes users to UVA and UVB rays, which damage skin and can lead to cancer. A change in skin is the most common symptom of skin cancer. This could be a new growth, a sore that doesn’t heal, or a change in a mole.

RESTAURANTS Wine Guy rounds up seasonal tastes, offers picks on varieties

his month, I have lots of wine tastings to report on, including numerous dinner tastes and a fundraiser, plus the always-fun store get-togethers. In early spring, I attended the Cork & Cap dinner taste at the lovely Trumbull Country Club in Warren. We were greeted at our table with a glass of Grandin Methode Traditionelle Brut from France ($14.99). The Grandin Brut is a crisp blend of Chardonnay, Columbard, Ugniblanc, and Chenin Blanc, producing a bright fruit-tinged bubbly that was outstanding with our antipasto selection of meats and cheeses. Our second course of seared sesame tuna over pineapple and avocado relish was paired to a 2013 Letitia Estate Chardonnay from California. The Letitia delivers delicious Bosc pear and citrus fruit flavors leading to a melon-tinged finish that worked wonderfully with the sesame tuna. A 2013 Joel Gott Pinot Noir from California was our first red sample. It was poured to go with our third entree of arancini con fungi (stuffed rice balls with mushrooms) with roasted red peppers drizzled with shaved parmesan cheese. The spicy cherry fruit flavors of this Pinot Noir paired nicely with this flavorful dish. Our fourth course of honey mustard-glazed chicken set atop a homemade buttermilk biscuit was served with a glass of 2013 Sobon Estate Fiddletown Zinfandel. This palate-pleasing combination of food and wine was simply outstanding with the dusty spice-tinged cherry fruit flavors of this Zin were a seamless match for the delicious chicken confit entree. A 2012 Roth Estate Cabernet Sauvignon from California’s Alexander Valley was chosen to go with our final main dish of braised short ribs drizzled in a wine reduction sauce. This rich tasty dish needed a bold red to go with it, and the Roth Estate Cab filled the bill. Dark red fruit flavors and a spicy chocolate-tinged finish went hand in hand with the tender short ribs. Dessert was a tall shot glass of chocolate mousse topped with sliced strawberries, pairing nicely with both the Fiddletown Zin and the Roth Estate Cab. I want to thank Cork & Cap and the staff of the Trumbull Country Club for a wonderful evening of food and wine. On April 25, I attended the Beaver Creek Wildlife Education Center’s annual fundraiser wine taste. I’ve covered this fun event for a number of years, and I’m always impressed by the all-volunteer staff and what a fantastic job they do. This year, they had a number of great wines to go with their tasty appetizers and desserts. I started off with a glass of Piccolo Tesoro IGT Moscato from Sicily. This new-to-the-area sweet Moscato is just plain refreshing to drink. It would be perfect with a fruit salad on a warm summer afternoon. Another great summer-style wine was the Chateau St. Michelle 2013 Columbia Valley Riesling. Slightly off-dry with apple and pear flavors, it was just the answer to my selection of artisan cheeses. For those looking for something on the drier side, the staff was pouring the 2012 Entwine Chardonnay from California. These reasonably-priced wines are featured on the Food Network and are a good choice for large parties and get-togethers. My first red wine was the Entwine 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon produced from California fruit.

Conti Sebastiano Capponi of Tuscany, Italy with Nick Uroseva of Cork & Cap. Textbook Cab fruit flavors lead to a lush finish that is surprisingly long for this wine’s price point. The Columbia Crest 2012 Columbia Valley Merlot was my next red wine choice. Made from cool-climate fruit, this lush yet crisp-tasting Merlot is a joy to drink. Grilled chicken would be a great partner for this supple red wine. For dessert, I chose a sample of Ferrante Cranberry fruit wine, loaded up with more cheese, and took a seat in the bird observation room. Ferrante produces some of the nicest fruit wines in Ohio, delicious with artisan cheeses or at the end of a meal with a cup of coffee or tea. During the event, organizers made a short presentation recognizing several people, and I was surprised with a certificate of lifetime membership in the Beaver Creek Wildlife Education Center Volunteers Association. I was very touched by the gesture,

and must say that the volunteers who give their time year-round are the ones to be thanked for their efforts in making this a must-see destination – both enjoyable and educational for all ages. For more information about Beaver Creek Wildlife Education Center and its Volunteers Association, visit their website at beavercreekwildlife.org, their Facebook page (Beaver Creek Wildlife Education Center) – and by all means, their wonderful facility. Special thanks to Karen Henry at the Education Center and Ted Delpra of Tri-County Wine Distributors. My next tasting took me to Station Square Ristorante in Liberty to sample the Wente Brothers Family Vineyards line of wines. This classic California winery was founded in 1883, and is still family owned and run. Wente’s Midwest regional sales manager Paula Witkowski was the featured presenter, pouring and explaining her wines to our energetic group of wine aficionados. Witkowski knows her Wente wines very well, and has a down-to-earth way of explaining their attributes. Station Square owner and Chef Ottavio Musumeci prepared a choice of 13 meals from 13 regions of Italy (all under $12) to accompany the wines. I chose an entree originating in the Lake Como, Lombardy region. The Pollo Quattro Stagioni chicken (sautéed with vegetables in wine sauce) worked very well with all of the wines poured at this event. With numerous trays of delicious appetizers available, we were poured our first sample of Wente’s 2011 Louis Mel Sauvignon Blanc from Livermore Valley. Classic Sauvignon Blanc fruit flavors coupled with a long melon-tinged finish worked nicely with the tasty appetizers.

Our next selection is no stranger to this column. The 2013 Morning Fog Chardonnay from Livermore Valley is produced from the original “Wente clone” that dates back to the winery’s founding. This consistently fine Chardonnay is just fun to drink with great food or all by itself. The Rivas Ranch 2012 Single-Vineyard Pinot Noir from the Arroyo Seco region of Monterey, Calif. was our next red sample, and it proved to be California Pinot at its best. Bright cherry and strawberry flavors led to a spicy long finish that was delicious with the chicken entree. Next in line for sampling was Wente’s estategrown 2011 Sandstone Merlot. Ultra-smooth textured red fruit flavors and a long, supple finish reminded me of much costlier Merlots I’ve tasted – this one’s only $17.99. Wente’s estate-grown 2012 Southern Hills Cabernet Sauvignon was our final wine sample. This well-priced Cabernet offers lush, textured red fruit flavors leading to a coffee- and spice-tinged finish that goes on forever. I want to thank Wente’s Paula Witkowski as well as Ottavio Musumeci and the expert staff of Station Square for a wonderful evening of food and wine. On April 28, I attended “Mobsters, Molls and Marinara,” a murder mystery dinner theater presentation at the Springfield Grille in Boardman. The Mystery’s Most Wanted theater group from Pittsburgh staged their play as we ate, and it was very entertaining. As the play started, we were poured our first glass of wine to go with our Burrata Mozzarella (fresh cheese) entrée. The Cassa Lilliana 2013 Pinot Grigio Good from Italy worked nicely with the cheese, which was served with parmesan crostini, olive tapenade and tomato salad with infused basil olive oil. The wine’s green apple and apricot flavors combined with a bracing mineraltinged finish had our table asking for another glass. The Cassa Lilliana Pinot Grigio is a great choice for summer salads and lighter fare. Paired to a glass of Napa Valley’s Ca’moni 2013 Merlot, our main course was beef braciola. The forktender braised rolled beef served over ricotta gnocchi was just outstanding with the Ca’moni Merlot. Classic textured red fruit flavors and a lush, clean finish make this well-priced Merlot a joy to drink. Pannacotta (Italian cooked cream) with blood orange glaze and fresh strawberries was presented as our final course, along with a glass of 2012 Zenato Valpolicella Superiore DOC. The ripe red fruit and berry flavors of the Zenato paired nicely with the rich pannacotta. Thanks to the Mystery’s Most Wanted group as well as Springfield Grille’s wine manager Tom Smith and the rest of the outstanding staff for a wonderfully entertaining evening. My final dinner taste on May 17 took me to Vernon’s Cafe for the Cork & Cap wine shop’s “A Taste of Tuscany” featuring Conti Sebastiano Capponi and his Conti Capponi Villa Calcinaia selection of fine wines. The Villa Calcinaia estate is located in the Chianti region of Tuscany. Visiting as part of his current U.S. tour, Conti Capponi made an initial informative presentation of his wines and the vineyard’s history dating back to 1524. He was very generous with his time, visiting every table and engaging everyone in conversation.

WINE GUY, From Page 25 After filling our plates with Tuscan antipasti, we were given a glass of the 2012 Villa Calcinaia Comitale Bianco. The Comitale is a tasty blend of Grechetto (90 percent) and Vernaccia (10 percent), producing a rich yet crisp white that finishes nicely with a touch of stony minerality. I’m a big fan of Grechetto- based wines, and this is one of the best ones I’ve ever tried. Our first red wine was the 2011 Villa Calcinaia Chianti Classico. It was served with a hearty plate of Garganelli (wide noodle) pasta. Ruby red in color with bright cherry flavors, it finishes long and clean. It was made to order for the rich pasta dish. Tuscan chicken over creamy rice with roasted vegetables was our third course, and it was paired to Villa Calcinaia’s delicious 2009 Chianti Classico Reserva. Hands down, this is one of the finest Reservas I’ve sampled, and it’s in a relatively affordable price range (especially for special occasions) at $36.99. Hand harvested and rich ruby red in color, it features lush velvety red fruit flavors and finishes long with a hint of spicy tobacco. If you’re looking for a great wine gift, try a bottle of the 2008 Villa Calcinaia Casarsa Merlot. This super-Tuscan red was poured to accompany Vernon’s tender Florentine steak. The Casarsa Merlot exudes rich ripe dark fruit flavors that lead to a deeply textured finish that seems to last forever. It was a seamless match for the outstanding steak. Our final dessert course of almond biscotti was served with a glass of the 2006 Villa Calcinaia Vin Santo. This is one of the richest Vin Santos I’ve ever sampled. Golden honey in color with velvety resinous apricot flavors, it has a long, persistent finish. Thanks to Cork & Cap’s Nick and Loretta Urosevo for making this enjoyable visit with Conte Sebastiano Capponi possible. On May 9, I attended Cork & Cap’s Saturday wine taste. They were featuring the Michael David winery line of California wines, and I found a couple of real gems to report on. My first pick was the Michael David 6th Sense Syrah ($13.99 on sale from $19.99). With a dab of Petite Sirah added for complexity, this Syrah just oozes ripe blackberry fruit flavors. Firm tannins hold this lush textured fruit bomb together, making it very enjoyable. Steaks hot off the grill would be a great match for this tasty red. My next pick was the Michael David Petite Petit ($13.99 on sale from $19.99) blend of 85 percent Petite Sirah and 15 percent Petit Verdot. Nearly opaque, this rich dark fruit- and berry-tinged wine is just the answer for burgers on the patio this summer. My next store tasting was on May 16 at Boardman’s Vintage Estate Wine and Beer shop. This month, they featured Italian wines from numerous regions from north to south. My first pick from the southern Campania region was the 2013 Beneventano Grand Passione White ($12.99) made from 100 percent Falanghina grapes. Named after the wooden stakes (falangae) used to support the vines, this ancient variety is thought to have origins in Greece. Very fruity with apple and pear flavors, this mineral-tinged white is a perfect match for summer seafood dinners. The Abruzzo region of Italy is the source of my next pick. Made from 100 percent Montepulciano grapes, this deeply colored red wine has ripe red fruit flavors coupled with firm tannins, producing a fantastic red wine. Standing rib roast or barbecued ribs would be just the answer for this wine. Upcoming regular tastings include the Upstairs Restaurant’s Wine Down, third Thursday tasting; Charlie’s Premier Wines of Howland, every Saturday; Barrel 33, every other week on Thursday, Friday and Saturday; Vintage Estate, third Saturday tasting; and Cork & Cap second Saturday tasting. If your restaurant, shop or charity event is having an upcoming wine tasting, please email me a month in advance at wineguy@metromonthly.net JUNE/JULY 2015 | METROMONTHLY.NET
