Change afoot as desire for sweet wines wanes

andles were lit and tradition persevered. After she settled in California, Bibiana González Rave continued to celebrate the Day of the Little Candles, a Colombian tradition in which friends and families gather to light candles in front of their homes on Dec. 7. It’s a festive night that starts the Christmas season, and in her native Colombia the following day is a holiday. Over the years, the party grew into a neighborhood event and swelled to as many as 60 people. But in 2020, it was just her family of four. “It was still very special,” González Rave said. “It’s not the same without all the friends and family at home, but it was a special night for me.” In a year where everything was different across the New World, cabernet sauvignon continued its tradition of carrying the banner as the wine industry’s top-selling red. But style trends have shifted in Napa Valley. Sonoma Valley carried forth with elegant, blue fruit, less tannic wines. California’s Central Coast offered top values in places like Lodi. Pockets of Santa Barbara snuck in cabernet with a different collection of fruit and herbal flavors reminiscent of the finest produced in Washington. The following cabernets all cost less than $75 and are perfect for a holiday celebration. “With cabernet, I focused on (Napa) Valley Floor,” González Rave said. “I wanted to make a wine that was purely dry; I am against residual sugar. And the wine being 100% of the varietal is important to me.”

Michael Accurso is the winemaker at Post & Beam winery in Napa Valley.
The Alma de Cattleya Cabernet Sauvignon the Far Niente family. The new winery breaks from single vineyard sites and 2017 ($48) had fresh black cherry and
currant flavors. Due to the wildfires that swept through Napa Valley earlier this fall, González Rave doesn’t anticipate a 2020 Napa cabernet. But she said the maturation of Napa vineyards has led to an evolution in farming and winemaking. In the 1990s, ripe fruit was all the rage, but wines that balance fruit flavor and acidity are trending. “As vineyards get older, we’ve realized vines have balance and don’t need a high level of sugar to get ripeness,” said González Rave, who wanted to be a winemaker ever since she was 14 years old, and studied chemical engineering and business in Colombia before apprenticeships in Bordeaux and the Cote-Rotie in France (look for a column in 2021 on her career). “People farm better and vineyards get older. The desire for sweet wines is going away; consumers [are] not looking for big syrupy wines.” While new on the market, Post & Beam has a veteran crew as its part of
paints a greater picture of the Valley. Winemaker Michael Accurso liked the challenge of working with new properties and the search to find any missing pieces that would improve a wine that he wanted to “make approachable and ready out of the gate.”
The Post & Beam Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 ($50) had sweet tobacco,
mint, smoky black cherry. And Accurso said it is “an absolute treat and joy to make.” While he and Andrew Delos, the director of winemaking at Far Niente, both have had a hand in making collectible wines bound for years in a cellar that command lofty price tags, there’s an instant gratification with Post & Beam. “It gives me greater pleasure to make an elevated, every-night drinker, watching or hearing from people that have had the wine,” Delos said. “Collectible wines that people buy but can’t drink, that’s an ego pleasure but not why I got into winemaking. I have a big Italian family
and we sit around the table and fight and laugh and cry. I imagine our wines going on a dinner table. I dig the idea of an every-night drinker.” An every-night drinker that sounds like a throwback to a different era further cements the theory that change is afoot in Napa. “This is like a late ‘80s or early ‘90s cab with a little more acid and a little more bite,” Delos said. “You can see the heritage of Napa here. It’s not overly ripe, silky and bombastic.” When it’s time to harvest, Accurso wants to walk right to the edge; just picking while there’s still a little ripening left gives the wine an added structure. “That botanical touch makes an interesting wine a lot of people aren’t making,” Accurso said. Perhaps that won’t be the case for long.

Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara 2016 ($75): Unafraid of a hint of mint or bell pepper in the mid-palate, the green burst lifts the pretty blueberry and cherry flavors. ■■ Frank Family Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 ($57.99): Black cherry, cocoa and baking spices are perfectly balanced. Snappy acidity frames the silky tannins. ■■ Longevity Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 ($15.99): Playful flavors of cedar, cherry, cinnamon stick and anise with smooth tannins. Look for a feature on winemaker Phil Long in an upcoming column. ■■ Matthiasson Village Cabernet 2018 ($41): An amazing preview of Napa cabernet with a puff of cedar, cherry, currant and very low alcohol.

If a complete break with holiday spirit is what you’re after, consider the Netflix docuseries “The Ripper.” It recounts the terror a serial killer dubbed the Yorkshire Ripper visited on that English county between 1975 and 1980. The original Jack the Ripper, whose crimes against women occurred in 1880s London, remains unidentified. The 20th-century version, Peter Sutcliffe, was caught, convicted of 13 mur-
ders and seven attempted murders and died in prison last month of ill health while serving a life sentence. Investigators and witnesses help tell the story. Rachel Griffiths (“Six Feet Under”) is co-creator of the Australian political drama “Total Control” and has the juicy part of an embattled prime minister, but the star is Deborah Mailman (“Jack Irish”). Mailman plays Alex, an Indigenous woman who confronts a gunman and becomes a national hero, one with potential value to the prime minister facing infighting and opposition attacks. Does the political system or the marginalized woman of color prevail? Watch the six-part series, an award winner in its home country, to find out. It’s on the Sundance Now streaming service. CBS’ “A Home For The Holidays” is a seasonal special with heart and an extraordinary two-decade track record; its spotlight on children in foster care has inspired thousands of adoptions, according to the network. Gayle King will host the 22nd annual edition that relates the stories of adoptive families and their new children, with three onair adoptions to be featured. More love is needed: 400,000-plus children are in foster care in America. Singers featured in Sunday evening’s hour-long special will be Josh Groban, Miranda Lambert, Meghan Trainor, Leslie Odom Jr. and Andrea Bocelli. – Television Writer Lynn Elber

Here’s a list of five independent bookstores to check out in your last-minute shopping rush.
Harvey’s Tales 216 James St., Geneva 630-232-2991 www.harveystales.com When Roxanne and Chuck Osborne retired, they knew they wanted to do something that kept them active, engaged and connected to their community. “We have lived in Geneva for 30 years and always loved the downtown shopping area for its lovely family-owned stores and tree-lined streets,” Roxanne Osborne says, noting they visited many independent bookstores throughout their marriage. The couple’s shop, which opened on their 35th anniversary, on Oct. 1, 2018, pays homage to their first Bernese mountain dog, Harvey, who passed away shortly after they purchased the building. They currently have two Bernese mountain dogs, Hazel and Howard. “(Harvey) was a gentle giant, and we felt he would be a perfect bookstore dog, hanging out with us behind the register,” Osborne says,
noting the “tales” pun. “We wanted to still honor him by keeping it named after him.” Customers can find a variety of new books, puzzles, games and plush toys at the shop while enjoying coffee and tea in front of the fireplace in the winter in regular years or on the patio in the summer. “We are so happy to have our little bookshop in downtown Geneva and enjoy meeting so many wonderful people every day,” says Osborne.

Chicago Shakespeare’s ‘Peter Pan’ streams free SHAW MEDIA Chicago Shakespeare Theater invites audiences of all ages to return to Neverland with a free on-demand streaming performance of “Peter Pan – A Musical Adventure.” The newly remastered recording of the theater’s 2018 production – directed and choreographed by Amber Mak – was filmed by multiple cameras in front of a live audience, and now gives at-home viewers a front-row seat to the show. The 80-minute performance will be available for worldwide distribution from Dec. 19 through New Year’s Day at chicagoshakes.com. Based on J.M. Barrie’s beloved tale about the boy who wouldn’t grow up, “Peter Pan – A Musical Adventure” dazzles with a score written by George Stiles and lyrics by Anthony Drewe – the award-winning songwriting duo behind smash hit “Mary Poppins” and the Olivier Award-winning “Honk!” This newly updated version by Elliot Davis is based on the book by Willis Hall. The heartwarming musical follows Peter and the Darling children – Wendy, John and Michael – on a high-flying journey to the

of pirates. The streamed production is the perfect opportunity for families to come together and experience the de-
lights of theatrical performance this holiday season, a news release stated. “What’s remarkable about young audiences is how they can transform the mundane and everyday into the fantastical,” Director Amber Mak said in the release. “Yet in our world, as we tell them they have to grow up, that spark of imagination can be extinguished. ‘Peter Pan’ has endured for so long because it inspires that imagination, hope and freedom. Now more than ever, young people – and all of us, in fact – need that.” As part of the theater’s commitment to making its programming accessible to all through its Access Shakespeare initiatives, the streamed run of “Peter Pan – A Musical Adventure” will include options for closed captioning (a text display of the words and sounds heard during the performance), ASL duo-interpretation (all dialogue and lyrics are translated on-screen into American Sign Language by two certified interpreters), and audio description (a program that enables patrons who are blind or have low vision to more fully experience the performance through additional spoken narration of a play’s key visual elements).

Sleuths track down motive of pith poacher
L
ast week’s Good Natured column ended with a cliffhanger. Who, or what, was destroying the Ohio buckeye tree at the Wildflower Sanctuary? In case you missed it, here’s a recap: Right around Thanksgiving, Sanctuary steward Sarah Kimber was dismayed to find one of the two buckeyes nearly annihilated at the Batavia site on the Fox River. Someone, or something, had shredded the ends of the branches, leaving tattered chips of once-vibrant, living tissue scattered across the ground below. Sarah was quite concerned and wondered whether the tree would die at the hand of the self-appointed and overzealous pruner. Doing my Nancy Drew best, I dug into books and websites that detailed the Ohio buckeye’s biology and ecology, and quickly learned of the impressive array of toxins the tree produces, as well as the fact that only tree squirrels seemed tolerant of them. My initial thought was that maybe squirrels were shredding the branches to use as nest material, thus incorporating some natural insect repellents into their winter abodes. Well, shall we say, I definitely was barking up the wrong tree. While I was poring over field guides and research papers, Sarah was doing some investigating of her own. Accompanied by Molly, her faithful canine companion, Sarah headed back to the scene of the crime and – in a move that would make even Nancy Drew proud – caught the culprit red- (or, as Sarah Photo provided by Sarah Kimber noted, brown-) handed!
