Jim Pfeiffer is a bit of a mad scientist. And the fruits of his labor are oh so sweet. The Turtle Run Winery owner takes things a Jason Thomas, step further Editor in the winemaking process, as Elizabeth Beilman writes in today’s cover story about Riverbreeze, the annual wine event at RiverStage where Pfeiffer will offer his vino. Pfeiffer has mastered a complex formula in fermenting ingredients to sweeten his wine — no shortcuts allowed. “What we’ll never sacrifice is great, complex flavors,” Pfeiffer, who is also president of the Indiana Uplands Wine Trail, told Beilman. Would you expect anything less from SoIn? We know our wine. Turtle Run is one of four wineries holding court at Riverbreeze, which is the fundraiser for City Pride, Jeffersonvillle’s all-volunteer beautification organization. Riverbreeze is one of three events — the New Albany Historic Home Tour and the Art Council of Southern Indiana’s Bourbon, Beer & BBQ are the other two — that the council is offering as a “staycation” package, all for $75. You can find details in today’s center spread. More proof that you can find all you need right here in SoIn. — Jason Thomas is the editor of SoIn.

For example — the Turtle Run Winer owner ferments ingredients in a “super and “extremely slow” process to sweet wine. Most American wineries just add at the time of bottling. “It’s really much more simple to do i way and less time consuming, less prec he said.

raiser of the year. “It’s just a great evening,” Duffy said. “The weather is fantastic. The view is beautiful.” Riverbreeze usually raises around $5,000 each year, but Duffy wants to raise more than that. “We’re hoping that we will have some additional attendance this year from people exploring Jeffersonville coming from the Big Four Bridge,” she said. Pfeiffer said that some of Turtle Run’s wine varieties for tasting at the event include: Max’s Small Batch Red — “dry, delicious and complex,” Catherine’s blend — “like a Riesling,” Joe’s Jammin’ Red — “sweet but not overly sweet” and Slip My Mind — “lots of nice fresh fruit notes.” Pfeiffer said Riverbreeze is good exposure for the Harrison County winery that’s not quite in Corydon but not quite in Lanesville, either. “It gives us just another avenue to ‘tempt the turtle,’ as I like to say,” he said. “It gives Unfiltered Catawba wine is pictured outside of the wine production area at Turtle Run Winery us the ability to promote our brand.” near Lanesville in Harrison County.

soin PLAYLIST Q&A interview WITh
insufficient Memory (Carter Parker)
Band members/instruments: Carter Parker, 16, bass/guitar/vocals; Nolan Coyne, 16, guitar/bass; Chris Spencer, 17, drums. We all go to Charlestown High School. Nolan and Carter are juniors, Chris is a senior. How did you get into music? We all are in band at school and have built a great interest in music. We have also just grown up with a fondness of music and have a great passion for playing. Please describe your sound: Our sound might not be made yet but I know that our influences have a great impact on it. I, writing most of the music, have been influenced a lot by grunge music, especially Nirvana, plus other bands I truly respect like The Beatles, Neutral Milk Hotel, and Dinosaur Jr. I would say that we are Alternative Rock when it gets down to a general sound. How did the band get it’s name? When we first started, which was a completely different setup, I asked what we should be called and no one had any ideas so I said how ‘bout Insufficient Memory? I didn’t just make it up though, actually my family was playing Guitar Hero a few weeks before and the memory card wasn’t working or something like that. So my dad just typed in our band name as Insufficient Memory as a joke. So I didn’t think we’d keep the name but people seem to like it so I guess it’ll stay. Who are your inspirations? Well there are several artists that influence my writing. I’ve said The Beatles, Nirvana, Dinosaur Jr., and Neutral
Milk Hotel. There are also bands like Gorillaz, Sublime, and the other band Chris and I were in called The Hammer Bros. I’m also a fan of Sully Dunn who I saw on America’s Got Talent a few years ago and I’ve become a good fan. What are your goals? To make good music I guess! As far as the band goes I’d like to be respected by other musicians and just have a good time writing, playing, and recording music ... Plus the chicks and money, but of course. What do you make of the Southern Indiana/ Louisville music scene? I’ve heard some good music locally. I like Two Sly Deuce, The Yat Machines, and Us., as well as two bands my older brother took part in, the first called Surfing New Jersey, the second called Hanoi Jane which is his current band. I just really like hearing cool, original, and creative music from bands close by that I can actually watch and communicate with. I look forward to IM’s part in the local music scene.
