“People are so curious about smithing and don’t get to see it very often. The Blacksmith Shop is a very busy place during The Big E with so many visitors coming in to see what is going on. So, that inspired us to start this program now in its second year,” she added.

Saturday’s Blacksmith Collective is suitable for all ages.

Adults will get a practical view of the art and craftsmanship of the trade, while families and children can visit an interactive space inside the Greenwich Barn to see toys made by blacksmiths and try an activity that teaches the science behind molding metal.

A scavenger hunt will be included with admission.

What vision comes to mind when you hear the word blacksmith?

Probably a man with a protective apron on while hammering hot iron on an anvil to change its shape into all kinds of tools and objects. A dying trade, back in medieval and colonial times, a blacksmith in a real 18th and 19th century village – just like the authentic, recreated Storrowton Village of that period in West Springfield – was an important member of the community, making products for use in everyday life.

Storrowton Village Museum on the grounds of the Eastern States Exposition, will host its second annual Blacksmith Collective on Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The one-day event offers visitors a look at the trade and artistry of blacksmithing over the years through modern times.

But blacksmiths weren’t only men, there were a scarce few women working in the trade as well.

“There are stories about women blacksmiths, and I’ve been digging to find them since I started learning the craft two years ago,” said Sarah Platanitis, an education and communications specialist at the Eastern States Exposition, who began her connection with Storrowton Village while in high school back in 1994 as a volunteer and senior counselor for their Early American Summer Days Program.

And she found some interesting stories to share.

“For example, if my dad was a blacksmith back in the 19th century and there were no boys in the family to apprentice, he would have trained me.

Kisara Asian Bistro an enjoyably exotic option in Easthampton’s portfolio of dining experiences

D

INING OPTIONS IN the heart of Easthampton are becoming deliciously diversified, and one of the newest of those options (the restaurant opened in September 2017) is Kisara Asian Bistro.

Operating out of a Cottage Street storefront, the Bistro features a sushi bar as well as table-and-chair seating. The visual agenda is minimalist, with a pair of oversized video screens the primary decorative accessories.

The menu at Kisara incorporates both Japanese and Korean influences. Sushi options are numerous and include all that genre’s various forms and styles, ranging from a basic avocado roll ($4) to a more involved Mount Tom Roll ($14) that’s assembled from fried jalapeno peppers, cream cheese, cucumber and spicy tuna.

Korean culinary tradition finds its place in appetizers like Kimchi ($3) as well as in Bulgogi Tacos ($11) filled with grilled marinated beef.

Tastes of Japan can be enjoyed in the form of numerous ramen noodles combinations.

Those range from Japanese Udon Noodle Soup ($9) to a classic Miso Ramen ($11.50) garnished with sliced pork, bean sprouts, and scallions.

Several Japanese curry dishes are available, as are hibachi-style entrees featuring the likes of Chicken ($15) and Shrimp ($18).

We began our meal with a robustly proportioned Paradise Roll ($12). The shrimp at the heart of the roll had a batter-style tempura crust; the top of the roll was draped with avocado and salmon as well having been drizzled with spicy mayonnaise and sweet-savory eel sauce. A final garnish of crushed panko crumbs further decorated the presentation, the overall

DINE & WINE

Chateauneuf Du Pape, Part 1 – Domaine Roger Sabon Editor’s note: This is the first of two stories about wineries in Chateauneuf Du Pape visited by the author this year in France.

T

HE REMAINS OF A large, stone fortress loom high over the village.

Before you even reach Chateauneuf Du Pape, from practically any direction, the first thing you see is the ruins of the fortress perched high above.

At night, the lights shining on the remains of the building give the village an other-worldly feel, as if the stone structure might rise up from the earth into the sky.

During the day, this structure looks just as impressive, just as imposing whether you’re driving or walking around Chateauneuf Du Pape’s narrow streets.

And if you do drive into the maze of one-way streets in the village center, all roads seem to lead to this hilltop fortress.

Centuries ago, this structure built in the 1300s served as part of the summer home of Pope John XXII, who reigned as pope in nearby Avignon during the 14th century.

Nowadays, the shell of the former fortress serves as an impressive, familiar backdrop to this village famous for producing world-class wines.

Just a short distance from this imposing fortress, you’ll find Domaine Roger Sabon, one of the best wine makers in Chateauneuf Du Pape known for making a wide range of outstanding, affordable wines.

I’ve long been a big fan of Domaine Roger Sabon’s wines, which range from remarkable red wines for under $10 a bottle to outstanding Chateauneuf Du Papes that can cost anywhere from $50 to $150 a bottle.

A tasting at the winery this past January with Didier Negron, head winemaker

Wine tasting notes WHITE WINES

Ken Ross Wine Press

at Domaine Roger Sabon, simply confirmed my admiration and respect for this remarkable winery. From the least expensive wines to the highest priced ones, all of them were outstanding from start to finish, including the highly-touted ones from the exceptional 2016 vintage.

Listening to Negron talk about the wines and his approach towards making them, it was also easy to understand why Roger Sabon’s wines taste so great.

A true gentleman and a joy to be around, Negron has a passion for perfection and pays close attention to every detail during the winemaking process. Whether it’s talking about which tanks they use to age the grapes, the size of the tanks or how long they age the wine in barrels or tanks, Negron sounded like a proud father as he talked about the different wines he helps create.

The same goes for the differences from one vintage to the next. During our visit, Negron spoke with pride about the winery’s 2016 and 2017 vintages. “Every vintage we can play with the result,” he said. “It’s interesting then to see the range and compare them.”

History of Chateauneuf Du Pape Chateauneuf was first settled in 10th century. But development of this small, hilltop village really took off in the 1200s when the Bishop of Avignon (whose territory

includes this village) received permission to allow salt shipped on the Rhone River to not be taxed if the boats landed in Chateauneuf. A century later, the village expanded even more when Pope John XXII made Chateauneuf Du Pape his summer home during his reign in nearby Avignon. The pope’s association with Chateauneuf is also the reason why Du Pape (French for “from the pope”) was added to the name of the village as well.

acres of vines in 14 different parcels. On the right bank of the Rhone River, the winery has 79 acres of vineyards in three different areas – 30 acres in Lirac, 15 acres of Cotes Du Rhone and 34 acres of Vin De France vines.

Understanding Chateauneuf Du Pape Wine Chateauneuf Du Pape can be confusing. That threeword phrase can mean two (actually three) completely different things – the name of a village and the name of a History of Domaine specific type of wine. ChaRoger Sabon teauneuf Du Pape is a village The Sabon family has a in the southern Rhone region. long, storied history of makIt’s also the name of a specific ing wine in Chateauneuf Du type of red wine from ChaPape.

They own and operate several grapes from Chateauneuf Du wineries in the area, including Pape.

2018 Roger Sabon Plaisir 75 Grapes: Blend of several grapes Tasting Notes: One of my highlights from Chateauneuf Du Pape. This incredibly dry white wine lingers in my mind like a haunting melody.

Partly because the wine’s so affordable (less than $10 a bottle.) And also because I’ve been unable to find this wine outside of France. I’m not kidding when I say I’m obsessed with tracking down this wine.

I’ve searched high and low in Massachusetts and New York State but to no avail. I almost hate writing about this wine since most readers won’t be able to find it but it’s everything you dream about when it comes to a white wine – dry, crisp, refreshing with a mineral-like finish and a touch of grapefruit and sea salt. In a perfect world, this subtle, elegant wine would be readily available everywhere. Sadly, I think we’ll just have to keep on dreaming about this wine in the United States.

2017 Roger Sabon Vin De France Grapes: Blend of several grapes Tasting notes: Another elegant, light, bright white wine that shines from the first to last sip. Hints of grapefruit and other citrus-like flavors gently emerge with each taste. There’s nothing cloying or confusing about this delicious white wine. Straightforward, direct and right on target.

LOBSTERS

Glow in Park” • Western Mass Beer Week It’s great to see even more exciting stuff in downtown Springfield, especially activities centered around White Lion.

White Lion’s Summer Beer Garden will operate on the corner of Bridge and Main streets, Wednesdays through Fridays, 4 to 9 p.m., and Saturdays, noon to 6 p.m.

The brewery at Tower Square is set to open late summer.

Beer notes • Speaking of beer gardens, the one at the Northampton Brewery opened last week and although the weather hasn’t exactly been ideal for most people, I love getting out there in the brisker spring temperatures. Admittedly, I’ve done this alone so far, as most of my friends prefer the balmier weather of summer.

But either way, it’s open (weather permitting) now and that’s a sure sign that summer is on the way.

• I recently had two tasty brut IPAs, one form the above-mentioned Northampton Brewery (it’s the current iteration of the venue’s ongoing and always-changing Prototype IPA) and one from Brew Practitioners in the Florence section of Northampton. Both are excellent and offer a clean, crisp alternative to the current flood of juicy versions of the style.

• A recent study at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago found that the reason people like beer and coffee is about the buzz they give, not the flavor.

“People like the way coffee and alcohol make them feel.

That’s why they drink it. It’s not the taste,” according to Marilyn Cornelis, co-author of the study and assistant professor of preventive medicine at the school.

Um, can’t it be both? Sure, I like a buzz, but I also like the taste of the coffee and beer I drink, no matter what some study says.

this tasting. Here, the understated flavors contain hints of pears, lemons and peaches.

There are also floral-like aromas and flavors in this graceful, elegant white wine.

Like a good friend, this truly outstanding, unique wine is an absolute pleasure to spend time with, especially I’m sure on a warm, summer afternoon.

RED WINES

Grapes: Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, Cinsault, Counoise, Vaccarese, Muscardin, Terret Noir and other grapes Tasting notes: It’s almost not a fair fight to compare this wine to the first wine. As the name implies, this wine is real showstopper. Made in the traditional Chateauneuf Du Pape style, this wine oozes style from start to finish. I was also impressed by how subtle and understated this young wine tastes from start to finish. Lighter in flavor than some Chateauneuf Du Pape wines, this pleasant wine has a soft, subtle pepper-like finish with hints of soft raspberries and other subtle flavors.

A true pleasure to drink, this wine costs roughly $65 a bottle.

THURSDAY, MAY 9, 2019 | E15

other grapes Tasting notes: The secret is out. This stunning Chateauneuf Du Pape oozes style. Much of the attention recently has been directed towards the 2016 Chateauneuf Du Papes. But don’t overlook soft, understated gem from 2017. If anything, you can enjoy the 2017s now and wait a few years to open some of the powerhouses from 2016.

And when it comes to 2017 Chateauneuf Du Papes, this soft, subtle, refined gem hits all the right notes right now.

Highly recommended. Costs roughly $150 a bottle.

2017 Roger Sabon Lirac by Roger Sabon Grapes: Grenache, Mourvedre, Syrah, Carignan Tasting notes: One of my favorite discoveries in the Rhone Region. I was not familiar with wines from the village of Lirac, which is located on the other side of the Rhone River near Chateauneuf Du Pape. This wine made me a true believer. Available for less than $10 a bottle in France and less than $20 in a small number of stores in the United States, this is a wine worth searching for. I love this wine’s soft, subtle finish with hints of dried cherries, raspberries and almonds. Let me add that its flavors linger long after each sip. This is a truly magnificent wine from a village that deserves far more attention.

as one of the best vintages in decades. Believe the hype.

Normally, the best time to drink many Chateauneuf Du Pape red wines is 5 to 8 years after the vintage. And while I would still recommend waiting that long to enjoy these

Grapes: Grenache and On the lighter side compared to some of the more powerful wines produced by Roger Sabon, this wine still has a slightly austere finish and will definitely benefit from another 3 to 5 years of aging. But even now at this young age, the light fruit flavors (especially raspberry) have a long, intense finish. It costs roughly $20 a bottle.

National Restaurant Association trade show marking 100th anniversary

V

ERY LIKELY QUALifying as “the greatest restaurant show on earth,” the National Restaurant Association Show 2019 will open on May 18 and run through May 21. Held at Chicago’s McCormick Place exposition center, the Show offers something for everyone interested the restaurant industry.

The show floor itself will be featuring some 2,300 exhibitors. The layout will be so vast that show organizers suggest two days minimum will be required to adequately explore the entire exhibit space.

Supplementing those displays of food, equipment, and supplies is an extensive program of seminars, demonstrations, and themed exhibit pavilions.

This year marks the show’s 100th anniversary, a milestone that will be marked by an evening gala on May 20, as well as by daily celebrations on the show floor itself.

Among the many presentations at the this year’s show will be a panel discussion focusing on “The Future of Dining,” which will take place on May 19. Another high-profile presentation, “The Future of Restaurants” will offer an in-depth focus on how technology and artificial intelligence are poised to revolutionize the dining out experience.

Information on the National Restaurant Association Show 2019, including details about show registration, lodging, and transportation arrangements, can be found at nationalrestaurantshow.com.

The Show’s customer service number is 800-439-2968.

Side dishes It’s commencement season in the Pioneer Valley, a happy time when restaurateurs find their reservation books full and their dining rooms populated by newly minted graduates and their proud families.

The University of Massachusetts at Amherst will be holding its Undergraduate Commencement tomorrow evening, with the Graduate Commencement to follow on Saturday morning.

Coupled with Mother’s Day on Sunday, restaurants in Amherst, Hadley, and Northampton will most likely be running at capacity all weekend, and the traffic in all three communities will be, to put it charitably, “challenging.”

It’s thus a good opportunity to expand one’s gastronomic horizons by seeking out restaurants in other locales, where a less frenetic dining experience will most likely be on offer.

Smith College in Northampton and Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley will be observing their Commencement Weekends on May 18 and 19, making those two days into “reservations a must” occasions in the host communities of those two institutions.

• Belle Rita Novak, the manager of the Farmers’ Market at Forest Park, sent along a reminder to all those who crave “locally grown.”

The market began its 2019 summer season this week and will continue weekly through the month of October. She says that many long-time vendors will be returning; several new growers and producers are also joining the line-up.

With the Sumner Avenue access to Forest Park closed for culvert repairs, Novak reminds all that the Farmers’ Market can be accessed through the Park’s Trafton Road entrance.

• May is National Burger Month, and b Restaurants (formerly known as Plan B Burger Bars) in Massachusetts and Connecticut will be celebrating with a number of promotional events.

A “Build-a-Better-Burger” contest is already underway; last month b Restaurant

locations solicited burger recipe ideas from guests.

Each restaurant subsequently picked their two favorite recipes and posted them on Facebook. Fans of b Restaurants can vote for their favorite recipe until Monday, at which time a “fan favorite” will be chosen.

In order to make the voting more interesting, some b Restaurant locations will be giving away samples of the burger recipes they are sponsoring in the contest.

The winning “better-burger” will be featured on the menus of all b Restaurants for the rest of the month of May, and the customer who originally submitted the winning

Avenue.

• Three Franklin County restaurateurs are being honored with Franklin County Community Development Corporation’s 2019 Entrepreneur of the Year award. Jim Zaccara, Maggie Zaccara, and Evelyn Wulfkuhle, who operate Hope & Olive in Greenfield, will be honored today.

The ceremony, which will be held at Hawks & Reed in downtown Greenfield, will begin at 5 p.m. Drinks and light hors d’oeuvres will be served, and live music will be featured.

Hugh Robert Off The Menu

Connecticut, will be hosting “Wild Heart,” a tribute to Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac. Seating for the evening will begin at 5:30 p.m. and a buffet dinner of Italian-American classics will be offered.

The show will begin at 7 p.m.

Charge for the buffet is $21.95 and tickets for the “Wild Heart” performance go for $25. Reservations for this event can be made by calling Figaro Restaurant at 860-7452414.

In celebration of the chain’s 50th anniversary, Cracker Barrel Old Country Store locations have introduced Southern Fried Chicken to their menus. Authentically prepared and served as a dinner-style entree, the portion of chicken includes breast, thigh, leg, and wing, all double-breaded with a custom blend of spices. Two sides and biscuits or cornbread are included; the suggested menu price is $10.79.

2016 Roger Sabon Chateauneuf Du Pape Reserve Cuvee Grapes: Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, Cinsault and other grapes Tasting notes: Need another reason to get excited about the 2016 Chateauneuf Du Papes? Here’s one more. I barely took any notes while tasting this soft, subtle, understated wine. It was so elegant, I simply wanted to experience the wine and its delicate fruit flavors (especially raspberry and blackberry) without interruption. Like the other 2016 Chateauneuf Du Papes, this one will definitely get better with age. But it’s also absolutely magnificent right now.

It costs roughly $45 a bottle.

SHAZAM rrrt (PG-13 ) “Shazam!” is just a lightning bolt of unexpected joy that is certainly worth your time and money. A jaded 14-year-old Philadelphia foster kid, Billy Batson (Asher Angel), is bestowed with superpowers. As Shazam, he’s physically altered into an adult and takes the form of Zachary Levi. But of course, even with his height, his muscles, his voice and even his powers, he’s still very much a kid and has a lot to learn. (132 min.)

Counoise, Vaccarese, Muscardin, Terret Noir and other grapes Tasting notes: Tasting three 2016 Roger Sabon Chateauneuf Du Papes side by side was a real treat. And this one was one of my favorites.

The flavors in this complex wine come through as clear as a bell. Big yet subtle, I love the soft fruit notes (especially ripe raspberries) that slowly emerge with each sip. This was the last wine of the tasting. As a result, I can definitely say the tasting ended on a high note. Another beautiful 2016 Chateauneuf Du Pape from one of the best winemakers in the region. It costs roughly $50 a bottle and is worth every penny.

Cheers!
