Rest Easy, Wine Lovers - Perception Is Easily Fooled
HAPPY GRAPES
By David White One glass of Cabernet Sauvignon was described as “powerful and heavy.” Another was described as “subtle and refined.” The only difference? The music that was playing while people drank the wine. A few years ago, Adrian North, a psychology professor at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland, tested the impact of music on taste perception by pouring wine for 250 students. Some tasted the wine while listening to music identified by others as “powerful and heavy,” while others listened to music that was “subtle and refined,” “zingy and refreshing,” or “mellow and soft.” Other students drank without any music. After enjoying their wine for five minutes, the students were asked to rate how much the wine tasted like the musical descriptions.
The conclusion, as put simply in the British Journal of Psychology? “Background music influences the taste of wine.” When North’s study came out, oenophiles were infuriated. Here was yet another academic calling wine appreciation into question. Rest easy, wine lovers. Perception is easily fooled. Widespread derision of wine criticism began in 2001 when Frédéric Brochet, a University of Bordeaux psychologist, poured one glass of red wine and one glass of white wine for 54 oenology students -- and then asked them to describe each wine in detail. Students described each wine with the laundry list of descriptors one would expect for reds and whites. What Brochet didn’t tell the students? Both wines were the same. The white in one glass was simply dyed red. Ever since, the media has jumped at any opportunity to call baloney on oenophilia. But psychologists have long known that humans are easily tricked, especially when relying on taste buds. Consider a 2012 study from Cornell University’s Food and Brand Lab. By giving an extreme makeover to a Hardee’s, researchers discovered that people will eat less but enjoy their food more when at a fine-dining
establishment instead of a fast-food joint. A 2006 study led by John Bohannon, a biologist and science journalist at Harvard University, found that most people can’t distinguish pâté from dog food. Does this mean that Michelinstarred restaurants should replace pâté with Purina Puppy Chow and start serving Hardee’s Patty Meltdowns? Of course not. Expectations matter. Heck, confirmation bias dictates that expensive wines taste, well, expensive. And food, like wine, is unpredictable. But please hold the Puppy Chow; I’d rather eat pâté. And if I’m dropping serious coin on dinner, I hope it’s prepared by a Michelinstarred chef and not a Hardee’s line cook. I’m confident in my palate, but I’m also confident enough to admit that sometimes, I’m wrong. Plenty of people have dedicated their lives to wine producing it, serving it, studying it, selling it. Plenty more simply enjoy wine and have opinions on what they drink. Sure, some people are particularly gifted tasters. But wine appreciation is a subjective pursuit for everyone who imbibes. And just as it’s perfectly valid for a moviegoer to proclaim her preference for Batman over Birdman, it’s perfectly valid for a wine enthusiast to proclaim
his preference for a light bodied Syrah from St. Joseph in France over a weighty Shiraz from Coonawarra in Australia. Misleading a wine connoisseur by filling an empty bottle of First Growth Bordeaux with Two Buck Chuck might be fun, especially if he’s insufferable. But it only proves that humans are fallible and easily tricked, especially when an environment has been manipulated. That’s nothing to worry about. David White is the founder and editor of Terroirist.com, which was named “Best Overall Wine Blog” at the 2013 Wine Blog Awards. His columns are housed at Grape Collective.

CASA Celebration of Children: Raised Over one million Dollars! Photos by Xuong Do from Happy Photos Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), held their annual Celebration of Children: Black & White Ball at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel with 435 guests joining to celebrate CASA’s 30th Anniversary. The event contributed to a net of one million dollars for CASA’s largest fundraiser of the year. Lauren Wong and Brenda St. Hilaire, both of Newport Beach, co-chaired this lovely evening, which began with a cocktail reception and silent auction featuring over 100 captivating items. Former NFL Quarterback to the Cleveland Browns and Dallas Cowboys, Paul McDonald, served as Master of Ceremonies for the night, which included Keynote Speaker, NFL Quarterback to the Philadelphia Eagles, Mark Sanchez, a gourmet dinner, a live auction, dancing and entertainment. The event started with a VIP reception then a scrumpous dinner served starting with the first course of Heirloom tomato wedges, local burrata cheese, pesto cream, extra virgin olive oil, micro basil. The Entrée was amazing duo of signature dry-rub filet mignon with a merlot wine sauce along citrus glazed salmon with leek fondue with parsley potato mash, and a seasonal vegetable medley. The decadent dessert was a Dark chocolate flowerless cake which everyone enjoyed. The program started with Keynote speaker, Mark Sanchez, inspiring the audience as he discussed and shared his own personal experiences of growing up in Orange County and the importance of giving back to society’s most vulnerable population. Mark spoke from his heart and talked about how his Father would continually make him practice both his athletic skills simultaneously while working on his educational development while he was growing up and how all children need to have that support around them to thrive. Jennifer and Anton Segerstrom received CASA’s highest given award, “Children’s Champion” for their many years of support and personal dedication to children’s well-being while in the foster care system, and South Coast Plaza was honored as “Outstanding Corporation” for their commitment to assisting CASA grow and prosper over the last 30 years. Tustin Ranch resident, Joy Winger was honored as “Advocate of the Year” for her passion and dedication of service to child abuse victims by being a Court Appointed Special Advocate to 6 different children over the last 13 years. Austin Howle, the evening’s youth speaker described painfully growing up in the foster care system, “I was in 17 different placements from the age of 5 and a half to the 6th grade”, which often led to him changing schools and being separated from his siblings. Nineteen-year-old Howle, also described in detail that without his CASA’s “relentless” conversations on the importance of doing well in school, he would not have received his high school diploma or gained admission to Cal State University, San Bernardino, where he is finishing up a successful freshman year. The live auction then got everyone participating with items up for grabs which included a Dream Vacation Home Experience in Phuket, Thailand, Versace Spring/Summer 2016 Runway Show in Milan for two, and a “Once in a Lifetime Anaheim Angels Experience” including eight front row tickets, opportunity for a child to act as a bat boy/ bat girl, one adult throwing the first pitch of the game, and more. David Yurman generously donated an 18 karat gold wide sculpted bracelet that was valued at over $10,000 and was won by a lucky attendee through the evening’s Opportunity Drawing. Young MC and DJ Miles closed out the evening’s program and began the magnificent after-party with 3 songs including the hit “Bust A Move”, which got the crowd out of their seats and onto the dance floor. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Orange County is a privately-funded non-profit organization that serves severely abused, neglected and abandoned children through the recruitment, training and continued support of volunteers who advocate and mentor these children, representing their best interest in the courtroom and other settings.

Three-room makeover takes homes from simple to sensational this spring Spring is the season of new beginnings, so is it any wonder that many Americans think about home improvement and brightening their decor when the weather warms? Simple updates can bring the cheerful perspective from the outside indoors, and revive any room just in time for warmer weather. Make your bathroom bloom Relaxed modernity is ideal for a bathroom, and a serene palette is a great step to create this calming oasis. Use the beach as your muse; pastels such as light blue and eggshell white will create an oceanfront vibe no matter where you live. To bring the coastal feel to the forefront, you can easily add waves to your walls with new FrogTape Shape Tape. The tape is a pre-cut painter’s tape available in wave, chevron and scallop patterns, perfect for decorative painting. Shape Tape is treated with PaintBlock Technology, which creates crisp paint lines - keeping your painting projects looking professional. It’s simple to add ripples of waves to your bathroom walls, accessories or even the shower curtain. The finishing touches tie any room together, and the bathroom is no exception. The right accent rug
and towels will transform the look of your bath with minimal effort and deliver maximum style. Updating your decorative accents will complement your new spring color scheme, and leave the space feeling refreshed season after season. Spring-ready sleeping chambers Light hues are a great go-to for spring home decorating; utilize one of 2014’s hottest trends with a whitethemed bedroom. Not only is white timeless and versatile, but it allows an array of interior design options. Add crisp white curtains to your windows to brighten the room, and for a chic addition, add a delicate white canopy to soften the atmosphere even more. For a hint of color, add in shades of muted teals - a top color for spring this year - on accessories throughout the room. If your spring style calls for more color, add vibrant bursts throughout your boudoir. As the bed is the focal point of the master bedroom, make it the center your attention as well. Fresh fabrics and linens are essential for spring, so opt for a delicate coverlet in your favorite pattern. Also, incorporate decorative vases filled with fresh flowers throughout the space, allowing the fragrance
of spring to accompany your fresh decor. Spring-spruce the living room To kick off spring with color and character, add an assortment of patterned throw pillows to your living room. Mix and match fabrics and patterns - geometrics, florals and stripes pair well together. It will give your living area visual texture and is the perfect way to perk up this room for the season. If you’re not in the mood for a complete room redo, use your existing color palette as inspiration; simply add in complementary shades to create a modern and harmonious look. Looking to turn heads with a simple spring update? Reposition your furniture. First, determine the main furniture piece in the room, and place it in a position that welcomes guests so that it serves as the focal point. Next, rearrange your other furnishings, photos and artwork for a whole new look that will take your
visitors by surprise, without spending a dime. Be sure to keep items from blocking any natural light - a well-lit room is great for any time of year, especially spring. With these simple home updates, you’ll be sure to awaken your abode with springtime appeal. For design inspiration and more information on Shape Tape, visit FrogTape.com.

Orange County Community Foundation “iheartoc Giving Day” Raises Over $1.8 Million for Orange County Nonprofits
The Orange County Community Foundation (OCCF) raised $1,813,460 for Orange County nonprofits during iheartoc Giving Day, the first-ever county-wide day of giving held from 6 a.m. Tuesday, April 21 through noon Wednesday, April 22. The goal was to inspire members of the community to show their love for local nonprofits by donating to their favorite charity or cause via the iheartoc.org website. A total of 6,138 donations were made in just 30 hours to 347 organizations – with donations going to 100 percent of participating nonprofits. “We are thrilled to have raised more than $1.8 million during iheartoc Giving Day as our gift to the nonprofit community in celebration of OCCF’s 25th anniversary,” said Shelley Hoss, OCCF’s president. “We were moved and inspired by Orange County’s response to our challenge to “give where your heart lives” in support of the work of outstanding local nonprofits, whether the cause was feeding the hungry, educating youth or preserving the environment.” OCCF set up an online platform with searchable profiles of participating nonprofits at iheartoc.org where givers donated to their favorite nonprofit, with a minimum donation of $25. Participating nonprofits will share $535,000 in bonus awards and prizes. Ranging from $1,000 to $5,000, 74 prizes were awarded during the event, including 30 Golden Ticket awards of $1,000 each to one randomly selected nonprofit per hour. Plus, eight Mega Multiplier awards were given in each nonprofit budget category for the highest number of unique donors during Giving Day, including $5,000 to the first place winners: Together We Rise located in Brea for the small organization category (with an annual budget up to $750,000) and to Operation
Underground Railroad located in Anaheim for the large organization category (with an annual budget of more than $750,000). And, for raising the most money during the 30-hour period Top Dog prizes of $5,000 each went to HomeAid Orange County located in Irvine for the large organization category and to Animals for Armed Forces Foundation located in Fullerton for the small organization category. Additionally, in celebration of iheartoc concluding on Earth Day, special prizes were available for environmental charities including $4,000 awarded to the Pacific Marine Mammal Center located in Laguna Beach for the highest number of unique donors and $4,000 awarded to the Environmental Nature Center located in Newport Beach for the highest total amount of funds raised. Community Partners Helped Rally Support! An A-list of Orange County businesses joined OCCF as iheartoc community partners, including Angels Baseball, Anaheim Ducks, Cox Communications, The Irvine Company, PBS SoCaL, Wahoo’s Fish Taco and Disneyland Resort, as well as many of the foundation’s individual and family donors. View the full list here. OCCF hosted a full day of festivities to fuel giving on April 21 including a family-friendly rally and mobile donation station at the Giant Wheel Court at the Irvine Spectrum Center in Irvine. Festivities included face painting, a DJ and dance contests, bubble play and exhibits by nonprofit organizations including Discovery Cube, The Ecology Center, The Pet Rescue Center, and Pretend City Children’s Museum. OCCF President Shelley Hoss kicked off an hour of performing arts with Anaheim Ballet and a Chamber Music OC quartet. The Anaheim Ducks Power Players

THE PEDIATRIC CANCER RESEARCH FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE 20th ANNUAL ROD CAREW CHILDREN’S CANCER GOLF CLASSIC
The Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation is honored to have Hall of Fame baseball great, Rod Carew, serve as the event’s host for the 20th consecutive year. This event alone has raised over $3 million in its 20 year history, all to find a cure for cancer. In honor of the 20th Anniversary, and with the help of businesses like yours, we plan to make a dramatic impact in the survival rates and the treatments for children. When the malignancy of cancer touches a child, it is particularly difficult to turn a blind eye. Being
connected to the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation means you, as a business partner, are choosing to be a part of this community of cancer fighters. You can be confident that your resources are going to make a difference in the lives of children who have cancer. This dedication makes us a community that shares a vision of hope. Hope that for every parent who hears the words, “Your child has cancer,” the next statement is, “And we have a cure.” It just takes resources. This year’s 20th Annual Rod Carew Children’s Cancer Golf Classic will be held Monday, August 24, 2015 at Pelican Hill Golf Club. The tournament will be played on both courses. A traditional foursome scramble will be played on one course and a foursome

Overcoming the top 5 challenges of being retirement ready in 3 simple steps It’s no secret that Americans aren’t saving enough for retirement. Many people are coming up short when it comes to funding their nest egg. But why is the problem so wide-spread? Insight can be found in the human behaviors that tend to get in the way of saving adequately. With National Save for Retirement Week the third week in October, now is the perfect time to learn more about the most common hurdles of retirement savings. The experts at Prudential Retirement note the top five challenges to being retirement ready include: 1. Living longer Did you know a baby born today is more likely to live to 100 than to be born with blue eyes? The fact is, people are living longer, and it’s hard to know how long you’ll live. You may live many years beyond retirement, a time when you’re no longer creating income. The challenge is we still believe we’re living to 70 or 75 - but think about it. How old is the oldest person you know alive today? Chances are, you know someone who is well into their 90s. Saving for retirement now prepares you for the exciting possibility of having a longer retirement. 2. Procrastination It’s human nature to procrastinate. And while some things take the
same amount of time to do whether completed today or a year from now, others only get harder to do the longer you delay them. Saving for retirement is one example - every year you don’t save for retirement is less money you may have when it comes time to retire, making it that much more difficult to reach your goals and pursue your dreams. 3. Optimism People in general are optimistic, which is a wonderful quality, except when it comes to retirement planning. It’s easy to think bad things won’t ever happen to us - including unexpected health issues, loss of a job, or a bad accident. It’s important to be realistic when planning for retirement, and always plan for the unexpected. 4. Following the pack Humans are social beings. If enough people are doing something, we tend to want to follow because we assume there must be a good reason. The urge to follow the pack can get us in trouble, though, particularly when it comes to saving and investing. Make sure you define your own goals for retirement and work with a financial advisor to create an individual plan that works for you. 5. Instant gratification The newest car, computer or video game - it’s easy for Americans to feel like they need to keep up with
the Joneses. Spending too much on impulse purchases rather than funding savings can be devastating, particularly for your retirement. Learning to delay gratification and keep a budget is key. We all want to imagine living out our dreams in retirement - rather than worrying about money. Whether you’re in your 20s or your 50s, retirement savings should be top of mind. In addition to knowing and conquering the top challenges of retirement readiness, here are three simple things you can do today to ensure you’re on the right path: 1. Workplace retirement opportunities If your place of work offers a retirement program, sign up for it as soon as possible. From
employer matches to potential tax benefits, retirement programs deliver numerous positives for employees. Remember, compound interest is an important factor in building retirement income, so it literally doesn’t pay to put saving off. 2. Diversification Putting all your eggs in one basket is risky when it comes to retirement funding. A diversified investment strategy can help protect you from the unexpected. 3. Financial planner Working with a professional can help you learn about various savings options for reaching your personal retirement goals. The expertise of a financial planner can make the stressful and confusing process easier.
