CLUBBING

Neighborhood bars provide sense of community

HEN IT COMES to businesses known as clubs or bars or whatever, they can be about as diverse as America itself. Some showcase flashier atmospheres such as high-energy dance music, while others cater to a sports crowd, offering multiple screens for viewing of various athletic pastimes. Still others offer live music, comedy – or maybe they are known for their specialty, high-end cocktails, wines or craft beers. These are all fine endeavors, of course, and although I’ve enjoyed all of them at one time or another to various degrees, the main thing I look for in a neighborhood bar is community. I’m a creature of habit and tend to stick to what I know – at least when what I know is good. I try to visit various places when I can, but for my own personal pleasure, I have a solid rotation of bars where I feel welcome. In the words of the old “Cheers” theme song, “where everybody knows your name.” Some venues are set up better for this type of situation than others. Bars that also double as restaurants often are more inclined to see clients come and go more quickly. This does not allow the long-term conversations to develop. And the bars such as dance clubs or live music places are often too loud to really have in-depth conversations for too long. But many bars, specifically neighborhood bars, often have a cast of regulars that maybe aren’t there every night, but they are there enough that if you start showing up, you’ll get to know their names and plenty else about them, once you’re

a known quantity who can be trusted. I love bars like this because you can really get a sense of love and community among the patrons. And the patrons often have very different backgrounds, educational levels, and economic status. But in these joints, the barstool becomes the great equalizer. These are the types of bars where it doesn’t matter if you’re drinking cheap well vodka or the most expensive whiskey they have. There’s no judgment. There may even be political disagreements among some patrons, but if they come up, it’s usually brief and doesn’t get in the way of the camaraderie that is built among the bar regulars. And, in that way, it’s kind of like family. My favorite local bars with this sort of community vibe are Joe’s Cafe and The Deuce in Northampton. Naismith’s in Springfield also has this type of feel, as well as Holyoke bars such a Francie’s Place, Pic’s Pub and Brennan’s. What is your favorite spot “wherever everybody knows your name”? Do you have a cool event coming up at a local club? Send me a note about it at least two weeks in advance to geolenker@ yahoo.com and I’ll try to get it in this space.

Special to The Republican

The Northeast Balloon Festival will take place at the Three County Fair Grounds in Northampton tomorrow through Sunday.

Also available at the fairgrounds will be a food festival, a vendor expo, craft beer, and plenty of family activities, including amusement rides, games, and a petting zoo. Festival Director Veronica Parsloe revealed that the live

music performers will include local artists One Time Weekend, Keepers of the Vibe, Paul Driscoll, Justin Cohn, and Jon Pond. To keep up with the event, the Northeast Balloon Festival has set up an Instagram account and a Facebook event for the Northampton festival. Fly New England is offering a tethered balloon ride that takes passengers 50 feet into the air onsite, as well as full flights with pilot Bill Whidden. Balloon enthusiasts can also keep both feet on the ground with opportunities to walk around inside of a balloon, take pictures in balloon baskets, and engage with pilots to learn about the balloons and their history. Parsloe is excited to bring the festival to Western Mass.

ON THE COVER

Singer excited to be part of festival Eilen Jewell talks songs, politics before Green River Festival performance

By George Lenker

Special to The Republican

ilen Jewell isn’t shy about weaving politics into her songs, and hopes her fans who may disagree with her can accept it like she does when she admires an artist with opposing opinions.

“I can separate the art from the artist to an extent. There’s no definite, clear-cut line for me about that. In some ways life would be simpler for me if I saw things in that way, but in my eyes everything is a spectrum, and there’s very little that I see in black and white,” she said in a recent interview. “I still love Loretta Lynn and her music, even though she voted for (Donald) Trump and even claimed she would have stumped for him if he had asked her to.” Jewell will probably have a largely like-minded political audience when she plays the Green River Festival on Sunday. The festival runs Friday through Sunday at Greenfield Community College. Her new album, “Gypsy,” is due out in August. While Jewell said she doesn’t support Trump or anything that he stands for, she believes in freedom

of speech and freedom of thought. “I would never say to Loretta what some of my fans have said to me — ‘Shut up and sing,’ for example,” she said. “On the other hand, Spade Cooley was a very talented musician who tortured and killed his wife, and knowing that, I won’t listen to his music. Ronald Reagan pardoned him, by the way. If Reagan had any albums for sale, I wouldn’t buy them either, for that reason alone.” In that same vein, Jewell covered “You Cared Enough to Lie” by Pinto Bennett. “Pinto is a friend of mine, a fellow Idahoan, and, incidentally, another musician I continue to love despite our differing political opinions. He’s a wonderful human being, and I consider him to be a living legend who never quite received the fame he SEE FESTIVAL, PAGE E9

GREEN RIVER FESTIVAL For one weekend every July, Greenfield Community College hosts a celebration of music with local food, a handmade craft fair, a Saturday night balloon glow, and lots of family activities. Lucinda Williams, Tyler Childers, Angelique Kidjo and Rhiannon Giddens are among the more than 30 performers to hit three stages over the course of the three-day festival. A full concert schedule for the festival can be found online at greenriverfestival.com/lineup.

Jewell chose to cover that song because her husband and drummer, Jason Beek, recently produced and performed on what Bennett is calling his final album, “The Last Saturday Night.” “I recommend it to anyone who loves the sound of classic country music.

Once they hit the floor I tend to not revisit them,” she said “Maybe I’ll try to revive the central idea behind them, but if I struggle too much with a song that’s all I can hear in it when I go to try to sing it again.

Search for haute cuisine proves difficult

HOUGH WIDELY acknowledged as one of the lodestones of gastronomy, French cooking, at least in an authentic form, is remarkably uncommon in our Western Massachusetts corner of the restaurant world. Most every culinary school curriculum emphasize the techniques and recipes that characterize the French kitchen, yet many chefs, when designing their menus, seem inclined to ignore the iconic dishes that the likes of Escoffier and Careme perfected. Instead today’s culinarians prefer to draw from the global range of inspiration that is at their disposal. French cooking is usually characterized as two separate traditions. Haute cuisine, perfected by the chefs who catered to the aristocratic tastes of the 18th and 19th centuries, is an often-extravagant style of cooking that’s identified with luxury hotels and Michelin-starred restaurants. It’s symbolized by dishes such as vichyssoise, sole Veronique, and beef Wellington. Cuisine bourgeoisie, the second sort of French cooking, is derived from the everyday

Yummi Noodle in Westfield lives up to its name

S IS THE CASE with many a college town, Westfield’s downtown is fairly quiet once the academic year has ground to a halt and summer’s slower pace has begun to settle in. On the Saturday night in June when we visited, it was easy to find an empty parking spot on Elm Street right in front of Yummi Noodle’s small storefront with its distinctive overhead sign. Inside the eatery, six fourtop tables with bamboo dining chairs make up the seating, with ample space for more to be added as the new restaurant grows. The noodle shop is set up for takeout as well with a countertop register at the back separating the dining room from the mostly open kitchen. Wooden beams traverse the ceiling, and a handful of potted plants and faux floral accents round out the decor. We chose the table closest to

Had my guest not been wooed by the mere mention of pork belly we may have opted for the more interesting sounding Spicy Cumin Beef Burger ($5.99) comprised of sliced beef with cumin, toasted chili seeds and longhorn peppers. In awe of the generous portion filling the”small” serving bowl of fried rice noodles we had already consumed, we were comfortable with our choice of a small serving on the Hand-Made Noodle Soup we ordered to share. Protein items available in soups with the house made noodles exactly mirror those offered with commercial rice noodles and include Beef, Pork Rib, Spicy Chicken, Spicy BBQ Pork, Chicken Vegetable Noodle, and Vegan “SaoZi”; with prices ranging from $7.99$9.99 for a small and $11.99$13.99 for a large bowl.

The Spicy BBQ Pork Noodle Soup arrived piping hot as we were enjoying our “Burger.” Visible at the surface of the rich-looking broth were baby bok choy, chunks of pork, half of a boiled egg and a substantial branch of cilantro. The egg was cooked perfectly with a still deep yellow and creamy yolk, and the head of bok choy was sliced in half, fresh and crisp-tender. The pork was deeply marinated, soy-forward and tasty albeit a bit too chewy for my taste; and the wide, pappardelle-like noodles were adeptly executed and cooked just to al dente. All that said, the earthy broth still stole the show with its truly complex layers of rich pork flavor, sweet Asian spices and a sneaky chili hit at the finish. We kept going back to the irresistible soup with the expectation that we now understood the level of spicy heat only to be surprised when it would catch us at the back of the throat.

“Other Dishes” at Yummi include “ZhaJiang” Noodles that are described as mixed with a savory and slightly sweet sauce, topped with vegetables and available with beef or pork (small $8.99/ large $12.99), and Fried Rice Noodles with Beef, Pork, Shrimp or Vegetables. “Dinner Dishes” are billed as large portions ideal for sharing and come with white rice for $12.99. Options include Flavored Shredded Pork with bamboo shoots and wood ear mushrooms in fish sauce; Fried Sausage with Snow Peas; and the ever popular Chinese-American staple Kung Pao Chicken. Desserts are not an option at Yummi Noodle, but the substantial slices of fresh, juicy navel orange that came with the bill were a perfectly satisfying ending to our dinner. Takeout is a popular option at the noodle shop and online ordering is available using Beyond Menu.

5 refreshing IPAs for beating the summer heat

ELL, AFTER A fairly enjoyable spring, now that summer is technically here — meaning of the solstice has passed — it’s been hotter than Satan’s Sriracha sauce.

But since we are in an IPA mania time now, and since I haven’t written much about IPAs for a while, I thought of a list five of my favorite refreshing local IPAs. IPAs are incredibly diverse these days. And some of them aren’t exactly refreshing. For example, most double IPAs would be too boozy to fit in this category overall. So here are a few that I feel fit the bill and which you can get pretty easily over most of the summer.

Traditionally over the years I’ve written this column, I often use some point during the summer heat to mention good beers to enjoy when it’s in the 90s. Often, I mention low-alcohol products or lighter fare such as lagers or wheat beers.

Everything is in the same place.” “You see the stones here,” Brunier says, pointing down at the round, baseball-sized rocks scattered between the grapevines. “Wind, stones, clay – it makes a blend that makes the taste of La Crau.” “The stones are from a glacier,” Brunier adds. “They (the stones) were rolled by the glacier, rolled by the Rhone River. That’s why they’re round like this.” “Everything starts with this,” Brunier continues. “I think it’s important to see the vineyard because everything we do starts with this.” Brunier then drives back to the winery, where he explains Vieux Telegraphe’s winemaking process as we walk through the winery. “We are very non interventionist,” Brunier says. “We slow intervention during the process. Of course, we control the temperature in the tank. But it’s a very old fashioned way in terms of fermentation. We don’t use a lot of techniques to macerate.” After the wines are bottled, Brunier says, “We let the wines rest for two, three months. And then we do the labelings.” Later, while tasting several wines, Brunier says, “If you let the wine arriving naturally in

the winery, the personality of the soil appears much more evidently.” History of Vieux Telegraphe Hippolyte Brunier began making wine in Chateauneuf Du Pape in 1898. He initially owned a very small piece of land in La Crau to make his own wines. The name of the winery comes from a telegraph tower constructed in La Crau in the late 18th century. As for the future of the winery, Daniel Brunier said his son and two of his brother’s children have already started working at Vieux Telegraphe. “So the 6th generation is on its way,” Daniel said.

small tanks just to keep the freshness, to keep the finesse of the wine. The fruit is very fresh but not too punchy. It’s fine and elegant.

We like to let this wine age in the bottle. This is a wine we often sell in restaurants. I think it’s really typical of the place – the finesse. It’s like a Burgundian style in Chateauneuf Du Pape. This plateau makes an elegant, long finish. Very feminine with a good generosity. It has a big character. It’s quite rare to have this richness and this finesse and elegance at the same time.

Very unique wine with a very distinct, delightful personality. 2016 Chateauneuf Du Pape Vieux Telegraphe Rouge (red wine) Grapes: Grenache, Mourvedre, Syrah, Cinsault, Clairette, etc. Average age of vines – 65 to 70 years old. Many vines more than 100 years old. Winemaker’s description: “For me, it’s certainly one of the best vintages we’ve done in the last 20 years. Maybe the best. It has a great freshness, balance and richness. It’s 70% Grenache and 15% Syrah and 15% Mourvedre. That’s the three main grapes. For me, it’s a bit too much – too much fruit, too much freshness. It’s not refined today. But it’s where it should be now. It’s fine. It’s elegant. For me, the fruit needs to age more than the structure. The fruit, in five, six, seven years will really be something.” Writer’s tasting notes: The winery’s most famous and most revered wine, the already legendary 2016 vintage lives up to all the hype. Flinty, reserved, mineral-like flavors dominate this outstanding wine at this young age. But the rich, robust fruit flavors will only get better with time. A truly magnificent wine. Cheers!
