I don’t know if the dropping temperatures of October played a factor in the upcoming Strong and Pleasant Rocktober Music Festival in Northampton, but it certainly worked out that way. Once again, promoter Carla Racine has assembled a worthy lineup of bands that will play across three nights at four different venues in the city. Fortunately, for those folks who are averse to facing colder temperatures (or who are prone to laziness like me) these four establishments are all within a five-minute walk of one another. (And really, only one is about five minutes away from the other three. Two are even in the same building.) The festival will be held at Progression Brewing Co., The Sierra Grille, Bishop’s Lounge and The Majestic Saloon. The Sierra Grille and Bishop’s Lounge are in the same building at 41 Strong Ave., Progression Brewing Co. is a two-minute walk around the corner (at 9 Pearl St.) and The Majestic is maybe a five-minute jaunt heading north up at 24 Main St. (Note: another venue may be added, but at the time of my deadline, these were the four confirmed venues.)

The schedule of which bands are playing where wasn’t finalized at press time, but the lineup was. There are too many bands to list them all here, but among the bands playing that night are such notables as Sun Parade, Danny Pease & The Regulators, The Medicinal Purpose, Weege And The Wondertwins, Opal Canyon, The Glad Machine, Mark Schwaber, Miranda
Brown, The Feldons, Spanish for Hitchhiking, Carolyn Walker & Emergence Theory and last but not least, old friends The Equalites. A four-day pass for the festival is $50, a Friday-Sunday pass is $40, and a weekend pass is $25. An all-access one-day pass is $15-$20 (depending on the day) and a single-venue cover on the day of the show is $10-$15.

we live in that is filled with circles from tree rings and planets to the coins in a bank and the sparkly rings worn on our fingers. Across many of the artistic disciplines, the imaginative use of the perfect, serene circle form is part of the creative process. The art fest also celebrates the culinary and entertainment arts. “Most come for the art, but some come for the food, too. It’s like a food fest. Geoff and I are both foodies. When putting our first show together, we didn’t want a menu of hot dogs, hamburgers and french fries that you find at so many shows held at convention centers and festivals. We wanted something better. We were so busy with other aspects of the show that we decided to hire a caterer who was used to handling crowds and who could put a menu together for us. Unfortunately, that caterer backed out just 10 days before opening our doors,” Post said.

“We had been living in Northampton since the 1970s and were familiar with a number of restaurants and their owners, some of whom we knew pretty well. So, we decide to approach them and see if they could help us, and that is how our food court was born under our festival tent featuring local restau-
rants and their chefs. People loved the food and so did our artists and it has now become a signature part of the show,” she added. Among the delectable delights awaiting festivalgoers are everything from pumpkin moon pies to apple crisp and exotic curries to lobster rolls and baby lettuce salads. Some
of the participating restaurants will be Sierra Grille, Mama Iguana’s, Local Burger, Amber Waves, Great Wall, Spoleto, India House, and Bart’s Homemade Ice Cream. Music under the Festival Dining Tent will include blues, jazz and gospel singer Ptah Brown, of New York City, backed by the Green Street Trio led by Paul Arslanian. After introducing a singer-songwriter showcase at Paradise City’s Memorial Day Weekend show, the concept returns for the fall with homegrown music from Lisa Martin, Buddy McEarns, Nate Martell and Jon Carroll. On Columbus Day, the O Tones return to the fest with their lively Motown, rhythm & blues and swing music. Giving back to the community has always been important to the Posts, who each year hold a silent auction at the show. Held in Exhibition
Building 3 and featuring items donated by Paradise City’s exhibiting artists, the silent auction will benefit public television station WGBY/57. Visitors can also see several exhibitors at work on their art or craft throughout the festival. Alan and Rosemary Bennett create hand-sculpted aquatic life from stoneware and porcelain. During their workshop, festivalgoers can roll up their sleeves and become creative with clay. Also, wood artist Steven Wiseman will demonstrate the practice of woodturning on a lathe.

Singer talks career, new book before show Amy Rigby plays The Parlor Room on Saturday
“When I lived in Nashville, I was a lot more disciplined, but once I get writing now, the words and melody all come at once.”
By George Lenker
Special to The Republican
A few decades ago, someone told Amy Rigby that she should write a memoir of her life playing music. She thought it was a good idea and figured she’d just dash one off. It didn’t quite work out that way. “An agent suggested it to me years ago, maybe back around the “Diary of a Mod Housewife” days (her 1996 solo debut album) and I thought ‘Oh, that’ll be easy,’ and now, just 20 years later, here’s the book!” she said with a laugh. You can buy the book, “Girl to City: A Memoir,” as it just hit the shelves this week. But local fans who also want to see her musical side can do so when she plays The Parlor Room in Northampton on Saturday. Rigby talked about her career, her most recent album (last year’s “The Old Guys”), her fans and her writing process in a recent telephone interview. On still playing music as a career at the age of 60: I definitely don’t think I was intending to do this for this long, but I don’t think anyone does. I remember back in the

And the guy who runs this camp gives assignments to all the campers and all the instructors. And he knows I’m a big Dylan fan and knows I worked in a bookstore, and the assignment was right when Bob Dylan was getting the Nobel Prize. So the assignment was “What did Philip Roth think about Dylan getting one when he never won one?” And since I had been working on my own book for a long time, I kind of felt bad for him. And the theme of all the assignments was “indignation,”

Maybe it’s because I have such a big catalog of songs and I still like playing a lot of them. I have a lot I can pick and choose from, so maybe I don’t feel like I need a lot of new songs.

Beer garden closing season with a bang
W
HILE MANY IF not most people are saddened by the end of summer, I’m not one of them. My favorite seasons are autumn and spring. I like the cooler temperatures as opposed to the extremes of hot and cold of summer and winter. But one local aspect of summer is something I hate to see go with the season: the closing of the Northampton Brewery’s beer garden. I spend a fair amount of time out there during the summer – although during the really brutally hot and humid days, I avoid it. But it is such a wonderful spot that I wish there were a way it was open all year round. (Of course here in New England, that’s not possible.) The outdoor deck will officially close on Monday, but on Oct. 19 the brewery gang will hold a postseason closing party from 2 to 5 p.m. The afternoon will feature tailgate-style offerings, with chef Nate Wagner grilling food to go along with a full tap line of beers. There will also be music outside. But if that weren’t enough to entice you to go, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Habitat for Humanity, the brewery has made a special “Hop-i-tat for Humanity” beer that will run all week. In addition, $1 from each pint sold will be donated to the organization. Sounds like a fun (and fundraising) cause to me.

and 2% on brewers that pour their own beer. The new levy is called a “use tax” that is applied to the brewery itself, not customers. But since Pennsylvania breweries already pay taxes for production to Pennsylvania and federal government, as well as sales tax, this seems like an extra burden that will ultimately raise the cost of local craft beer for customers. It seems like these government intrusions into the craft beer world are happening more and more often, whether it’s legislatures trying to limit craft beer by regulating how and where it can be sold, or trying to take a bigger bite of the pie, via taxes or fees.

Fast food chains boost vegetarian offerings
W
HETHER LAbeled “plant forward,” “meat free,” or “vegetarian,” menu items that rely solely on plant proteins have been headline grabbers in the dining-away-fromhome world, with more and more restaurants promoting offerings that feature no-meat formulations. Yum Brands! Taco Bell chain, for instance, recently launched a dedicated vegetarian menu featuring four items – a Black Bean Chrunchwrap Supreme, a Black Bean Quesarito, a 7-Layer Burrito, and a Bean Burrito. Supplementing those choices are an additional nine plant-forward Taco Bell menu choices. All have been certified by the American Vegetarian Association, an independent product-endorsement organization whose evaluation standards are built around the lacto-ovo diet. Other fast food chains like Burger King and KFC have been actively engaged in developing meat-free menu options. This rush to plant-based would suggest that vegetarianism is an increasingly popular lifestyle in America and, as a consequence, restaurants need to be more in tune with the needs of those who have embraced a plant-forward diet. However, the number of Americans who self-identify as vegetarian remains rela-
tively small. A 2018 Gallup Poll, for instance, found that only about 8% of respondents identify as either “vegetarian” or “vegan,” a level that has increased only slightly over the past two decades. Though there might not be a seismic shift to purist vegetarianism, public tastes are in fact changing. For a variety of reasons – health, climate

Duro brings West African dining to South Hadley
F
OR WESTERN MASsachusetts diners, Duro in South Hadley may be their sole means of experiencing West African fare. Lively oil paintings depicting African cooking and gathering scenes on the interior wall of the small, window-lit space are the only indication of the restaurant’s theme. The dining room feels fresh with its grey wood-look floors and tables, and large contemporary silver light fixtures adorn the ceiling. We were offered drinks from a beverage menu that included a succinct selection of soft drinks, beer, and wine. We opted for the traditional Nigerian Zobo; an iced nonalcoholic drink made from Roselle plant flowers; a species of hibiscus. The pretty, deep magenta drink was served over ice with a wedge of lemon, and had the thickness of a nectar. We appreciated the strong hibiscus flavor, and enjoyed it slightly thinned with a splash of water. Our helpful server assisted us in choosing two appetizers from a list that included three protein items and two fried items. On the protein side Suya are kebabs seasoned with ginger and other spices, and can be ordered in beef or chicken for $13.99; wings are seasoned with African spices for $7.99; and Jerk Chicken at $9.99 rounds out the mostly chicken protein options. Our eight small wings came to the table piping hot in a bowl, doused with a thin sauce and topped with sliced raw bell peppers and onion. The wings seemed to have been roasted not fried and possibly reheated, as the skin was soft and not at all crisped. The mild seasoning blend in the sauce had a rough texture and may have been derived from ground peanuts as is common in West African cuisine. Puff Puff are described as deep fried dough balls made

slice of what we surmised might be sweet onion - or was it plantain? Either way they were tasty despite being a bit oil-laden, a problem that may be attributed to the type of oil, its age, or the frying temperature. Traditional Pepper Soup is available with chicken, catfish, beef or goat. Our Pepper Soup had a flavor profile nearly identical to the wings we had consumed, making for a tasty broth. The large darne of catfish in the center was prehistoric in appearance, but contained plenty of moist and flavorful flesh. We were uncertain as to what to do with the floating tail portion so we chose to eat around it, an act of pure cowardice on our parts. Our table’s knowledge of the African dish Fufu was admittedly limited to its rise to fame this past year thanks to the appearance of a Ganaiain chef Eric Adjepong on the popular cooking reality show “Top Chef.” Traditionally made by pounding boiled starches such as cassava or yam, the modern shortcut is to use flours of the starchy tubers. By that notion, Duro features the two aforementioned root vegetable SEE DURO, PAGE E23

Ripasso wines affordable way to enjoy robust Italian reds
I
MAGINE IF THERE was a way you could enjoy big, voluptuous, dry Italian red wines for a fraction of the price of many top Italian wines. Fortunately, this isn’t some fantastical tale from a Federico Fellini film. Such wines really do exist. And the key to unlocking your dreams comes down to one beautiful word that rolls off your tongue like a Puccini aria. Ripasso. For those of you who already know, I’m sure many of you share my enthusiasm for Ripasso wines from Italy’s Valpolicella region. For the rest of you, you’re in for a wonderful treat. A friend of mine I was talking to earlier this year was raving about Ripasso wines. I tried a few of them a few years ago and remember liking them. But like many things, I just forgot about them like a favorite toy left in a corner of a child’s bedroom. Then I told my wife about Ripasso wines and she started talking about them as well as if she were lovingly describing the flowing lines in a Botticelli painting. To make a long story short, my wife and I were out with friends for dinner a few weeks later at an Italian restaurant. I was asked to pick the wine since I am (their words, not mine) the so-called “wine expert.”
The four Valpolicella Ripasso red wines reviewed this week. (KEN ROSS)
make Ripasso wines. Specifically, this technique involves “reintroducing the young Valpolicella wine to the skins at the end of the fermentation of Amarone,” according to Bertani, one of the wineries featured this week. Another winery featured this week, Zenato, explains the process in more detail on Ken Ross its website. “As soon as the Wine Press dried grapes for the Amarone are fermented, selected wines available locally. All batches of Valpolicella wine four wines cost between $20 are ‘re-passed’ over the and $28 a bottle – not exactly Amarone lees, thus starting cheap but nowhere near what a second fermentation that you could spend on many slightly increases the alcohol world-class Italian wines. content and gives the wine And in my opinion, many deeper color and more comRipassos can more than hold plex aromas.” their own against more famous, expensive wines from What is Amarone wine? Before we go any further, let me just say a few things about Ripasso means “repassed” in Italian. As the Amarone wines. There’s a name suggests, that’s exactly how these wines reason why many people like are made. Using left over grapes and yeast myself get so excited about particles (called “lees”) used to make Amarone Amarones.

Everyone loved it. I in Italian. As the name must be made with grapes was hooked. Since then, I’ve suggests, that’s exactly how these wines are made.

In order to to make Amarone wines, complex, earthy flavors. Below, you’ll find the be called an Amarone wine, the same grapes are then tasting notes for four Ripasso repressed a second time to the grapes must be picked
at a specific time of year (normally the first two weeks in October), must contain certain grapes (Corvina and Rondinella) and those grapes are then left to dry (often on straw mats) for several months (often roughly 120 days) before the grapes are pressed and turned into wine. Italians have been making wines in Valpolicella for centuries. But wines designated Amarone wines have only been around since the 1930s or 1950s depending on who you ask. As for Ripasso wines, they’re even younger. Winemakers in Valpolicella only started making Ripasso wines in the 1980s. Are Ripasso wines only made in Italy? Again, depends on who you ask. Personally, I feel a wine should only be called a Ripasso if it’s made using the same grapes used to make Amarone wines in Italy’s Valpolicella region. But some winemakers in other parts of Italy and around the world now sell wines that are made using the Ripasso style of winemaking. So if you want a Ripasso wine from Italy’s Valpolicella region, just double check. Odds are it is. But it always pays to be safe than sorry. What grapes are commonly used to make Ripasso wines? In general, three primary
grapes are used to make Ripasso wines in Italy’s Valpolicella region: • Corvina (the most dominant grape in most Ripasso wines) • Rondinella (this grape is almost always found in most Ripasso wines) • Corvinone Although, as the four Ripasso wines illustrate bellow, corvinone is not always used to make all Ripasso wines. Sometimes, winemakers use other grapes, including merlot, molinara and oseleta. But overall, the dominant grape in most Ripasso wines will almost always be corvina. Wine tasting notes • 2015 Bertani Valpolicella Ripasso ($24.99 at Table & Vine in West Springfield) Grapes: 85% corvina Veronese, 10% merlot, 5% rondinella Tasting notes: This wine definitely kept me on my toes. By that I mean this wine changed the most from one tasting to the next over the course of two days. The first time I tasted this wine, I thought it tasted a bit too light, a bit too thin. There were hints of raspberries and other fruits. But those flavors are definitely on the lighter side at first. After tasting the other three wines listed below, this one’s flavors became a little bigger, a little more rounded. And SEE WINE, PAGE E19

But there were also times it was right there neck and neck with my favorite wine. 2015 Campolieti Valpolicella Ripasso Luigi Righetti ($19.99 at Table & Vine) Grapes: Blend of corvina, rondinella and molinara grapes Tasting notes: If I had to pick one wine out of the four that consistently blew me away, it would be this intense, earthy, powerful Ripasso. Straight out of the bottle, this wine’s flavors are magnificent – black licorice mixed with roasted blackberries, toasted almonds and other, earthy flavors.

This wine is aged in tank for six months and then aged in French oak barrels for another 18 months, according to Zenato’s website. The wine then spends an additional six months in bottle before it is released. The result? This wine was definitely the most elegant of the four wines recommended this week – which is both a good and a bad thing. At times, I preferred the earthier, more robust flavors of the Bussola and Campolieti wines, especially on the first day. The second day, this wine
