THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION
with ANDREW TRAVERS
PARTY THE WHEELER OPERA HOUSE is pulling out the
seats and opening up the dance floor Saturday night for what they’re billing as a “Locals Party” — a celebration coming at the ski season’s midpoint, just as most Aspenites need to blow off some steam and turn the corner toward the second half of a busy winter. Boulder’s Technicolor Tone Factory will be providing the soundtrack for the evening. The band has become a Front Range favorite over the past four years, staking their claim with a dance-friendly mix of long prog-rock jams, funk, and folk that’s reminiscent at times of Umphrey’s McGee and Daft Punk. They’ve built a sizeable reputation based on their unpredictable live shows of original tunes, peppered with inspired covers that range from Michael Jackson to Screaming Jay Hawkins, from Queen to Rodgers and Hammerstein. Tickets for the Feb. 7 party are $19.50 and available at www.aspenshowtix.com, with a complimentary drink included in the price of admission. The show is scheduled to start at 9 p.m. Doors will open an hour early for a decidedly local-centric show in the Wheeler’s second floor lobby gallery. The show features work by Aspen city employees, including the Canary Initiative’s Ada Christensen, utilities director David Hornbacher and the Wheeler’s Genna Moe.
Boulder’s Technicolor Tone Factor will play the locals’ party at the Wheeler Opera House on Saturday, Feb. 7.
CURRENTEVENTS FUNDRAISER
Denver band DeVotchKa, led by singer and multi-instrumentalist Nick Urata, has released the album “100 Lovers,” and performs Sept. 9 at Belly Up.
The annual spelling bee and Aspen Youth Center benefit “Spell What?!” will be Thursday, Feb. 5 at the Doerr-Hosier Center.
IN WHAT HAS BECOME an annual showcase of local orthographic skill (or, sometimes, a lack thereof ), the Aspen Youth Center stages its annual Spell What?! Celebrity Spelldown on Thursday, Feb. 5. The fundraiser and gala for the youth center this year pits six spellers against one another, including Sheriff Joe DiSalvo, Aspen Times columnist May Selby and defending champion Robin Smith. Tickets and more info at www.aspenyouthcenter.org
POPULAR MUSIC NOBODY ELSE SOUNDS QUITE LIKE the Denver gypsy rock stalwarts DeVotchKa, who return to Belly Up Aspen on Tuesday, Feb. 10. The quartet has improbably grown a devoted international following over the years with its frenetic brand of cabaret, punk and gypsy music, propelled by a mix of instruments including theremin, bouzouki, accordion and Nick Urata’s feverish vocals. Tickets for the show are $25-$35 and available at the Belly Up box office or www.bellyupaspen.com. Read more about DeVotchKa in the Feb. 10 issue of The Aspen Times.

with JOHN COLSON
He/she was a great stand-in — what’s next? THE FIRST SIGN that something was a little off was the shoes. They weren’t in any way the kind of shoes you’d expect to stumble across in the lower reaches of Fort Zachary Taylor, a 165-year-old, majestic but crumbling naval fortification at the western end of Key West. No, they were bright red, patent leather, thigh-length pumps with heels so high their wearer would have to deal with nosebleeds every time she put them on. On second thought, maybe these were JUST the kind of footwear one might expect to find at that spot, in this portion of the 21st Century. But, more on that later. For the moment, I was a little taken aback, perhaps even flummoxed by the splash of intense color at my feet, as I had just rounded a corner and found myself thinking about transvestites. Now, before you get the wrong idea, let me explain, and that will mean taking a little trip backward in time. There normally are four of us — we occasionally call ourselves the Four Horsemen just for grins — who all went to the University of Wisconsin in Madison back in the late 1970s. Myself, Nick, Mark and Kent had all gone separate ways, but then again we stuck together, meeting every so often in one outlandish spot or another to recharge the friendship and remember the days when we didn’t care so much about what was coming around the next bend. This time, we picked Key West in late January, mostly because Nick happens to be living in Miami with his wonderful wife and diamond-bright son, Sebastian. But this time, something was wrong. Kent was unable to join us due to some mysterious issue having to do with work, or making some sort of money deal, or maybe it was something more dark and sinister, we were afraid to ask. Anyways, after we got over our pique that Kent would not be joining us, we realized that the worst part of Kent’s absence would be the undermining of a tradition we had grown fond of — a photo of the Four Horsemen (or the Three Musketeers minus d’Artagnan, in this instance) with Kent traditionally holding a newspaper published on the day of the photo, kind of like hostages to our own excess. Jokesters that we are, we felt a need to commemorate the entire scenario in some sarcastic, harmlessly vengeful way, so we began casting about for a substitute for Kent in the inevitable photo. We thought about getting our hands
on a mannequin and dressing it up, but the logistical difficulties soon forced our thoughts elsewhere. Since we were in Key West, our next thoughts were of some obvious gay boy, a supercilious queer who is proud of his status and would enjoy the very idea of our revenge. Naturally, our nasty little minds immediately moved on to the next obvious possibility, a drag queen, and we knew we had hit paydirt. And here, in the dank, dark recesses of crumbling old Fort Zachary Taylor, surrounded by cannons and tourists, we had stumbled upon our quarry, who gave her name as Elle (which means “she” in French). Elle was posing for pictures in full regalia — meaning a tight leather onepiece that left little to the imagination, bulging “breasts” and variations on a theme of footwear with heels up to, well, you know. Just the kind of thing you’d be amazed to encounter anywhere else, but which fit right into the overall atmosphere of Key West. Turned out, perhaps inescapably, that the photographer, a tiny little man named Alex, wasn’t actually a man at all. “I’m what you’d call a Drag King,” Alex announced proudly to me, explaining instantly, “I’m a girl who’s trying to be a man.” An assertion that was proved when we caught Alex’s act that night at the 801 Club on Duval Street — but that’s another story. So, I huddled with my chums, who had been standing a little ways off inspecting a cannon that could blast a 100-pound ball of lead some two miles out to sea, and we got to work making our own kind of history. There were, of course, some minor delays. We had to find a newspaper, for one, and that’s not an easy task these days. But we championed gamely on, and our co-conspirators were kind enough to stay on past their appointed departure time while Mark wandered around in search of the Proof (the paper, you understand). Finally, the thing was done, and a fine thing it is (the photo, I mean), if I do say so myself. Nick sent the photo off to Kent, who sent us back a droll reply, and our mission was accomplished. The only question remaining is, when we get to Havana next year (that’s the plan, such as it is, at this point), what do we do for an encore?

LEGENDS & LEGACIES
FROM the VAULT
by TIM WILLOUGHBY
The stack of the Holden Smelter, visible throughout Aspen, stood as the town’s tallest structure.
THE HOLDEN SMELTING AND MILLING COMPANY Aspen’s tallest structure during the mining era, a 165-foot
brick stack, did not dominate the skyline, as did the Opera House, though it was much taller. The associated plant included a 12,000-square-foot building, yet neither was obvious from town. They were embedded in the west bank of Castle Creek. The facility was called Holden Smelting and Milling Company, after its builder. But it was also known as “the lix” an abbreviation of lixiviation, a process that uses chemicals and heat to leach silver from ore. Aspen’s lix derived indirectly from Meyer Guggenheim’s investments in Leadville, where he owned a mine with low-grade silver ore high in lead and zinc. When he saw the extent to which smelting costs ate into his profits, he decided to enter the smelting business. Guggenheim enlisted his son Benjamin to oversee a new smelting operation and convinced Denver smelting specialist Edward Holden to mentor him. The Guggenheims eventually built the country’s largest smelting trust. Holden, who already owned and built smelters, opened one in Aspen. By 1890 Aspen’s mines held reserves of unprofitable low-silver/ high-lead ore. When new tariffs on lead locked Mexico out of the competition, Aspen’s lead was
10
A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY
F
positioned to instantly increase in value. But that would happen only if smelting and transportation costs could be reduced. Holden was no stranger to Aspen. In the city’s early days he had owned a part in one of the first profitable mines, the Emma. Holden introduced Bessemer smelting — a process that concentrated blown air to increase the temperature of flames — to Colorado. He also built smelters for lead and silver ores in Leadville. The Aspen operation smelted 120 tons daily, an output of various minerals worth $4 million in 2015 dollars. Built in 1891, it was considered a risky investment because Holden modified a process that previously had failed with that type ore. In what was known as either the Russell or Patera Process, ore was crushed and ground to a fine powder, then melted in a furnace. Large quantities of salt were added to the dust as it dropped 60 feet through the furnace, to chloridize the mixture.
Febr u ar y 5 - Febr u ar y 1 1 , 20 15
The resulting material was stored for a few days and then mixed in chemical tanks with hypo-sulphate of soda and copper sulfate to precipitate the lead and silver. Most Aspen mills ran on electricity, but Holden saved operating costs by using a Pelton wheel to power his plant in Castle Creek. Even before it opened, Holden’s plant was heralded as Aspen’s greatest economic transformation since the arrival of the railroads. During its first year of operation, it sent nearly $15 million worth of silver to U.S. mints, in addition to the other minerals it processed. Then Holden’s world collapsed. Despite his lobbying to maintain silver coinage, silver prices tanked internationally. Holden could pay neither his overextended bills nor his employees who worked for a month without reimbursement. The plant closed in July 1893 and his main creditor filed for a $5 million (2015 dollars) judgment. More banks
demanded back payments for his other smelters. During that stressful time, Holden accused his wife, who had moved to New York, of habitual drinking. He filed for divorce and custody of their three children. Four months after his divorce, he married a Washington, D.C., belle and moved to the East Coast. The Aspen smelter was purchased for $2 million. After a couple of years behind shutters, it reopened as a concentrating plant. Investors floated several schemes to buy it for iron smelting, but their plans never materialized. In 1904 the machinery was sold and shipped to Mexico where Holden’s old partner Guggenheim operated silver mines. The main building and unusual square-shaped stack survived well beyond the 1920s before they were torn down. When Holden proposed his smelter, he agreed to pay part of the cost of a bridge to move ore across Castle Creek, a transportation link we still use today. You can visit the only remaining building at the Aspen Historical Society’s Holden/Marolt Mining Ranching Museum.
Tim Willoughby’s family story parallels Aspen’s. He began sharing folklore while teaching for Aspen Country Day School and Colorado Mountain College. Now a tourist in his native town, he views it with historical perspective. Reach him at redmtn2@ comcast.net.

DR I N K I NG DAYS
1895 ASPEN
ON SEPT. 1, 1895 the Aspen Daily Times described the effect of a new law in Aspen, noting that “promptly as the midnight whistles blew last night the saloons of this city closed. No sooner had the hour arrived when the proprietors said to their patrons: ‘Boys, you’ll have to get out; the new orders must be obeyed, and we must close; it is 12 o’clock.’ Within a few minutes there were 150 men on the sidewalk in front of those places along Cooper Avenue. These had emerged from the resorts and the majority had been engaged at the card tables and faro layouts but a short while previously. Everything shut up immediately without protest with the officers, who were well distributed over the town to see that each and every man obeyed the new law. It was the first time in the history of Aspen when the saloon and gambling houses in saloons were closed day or night except on election days.” This photo and more can be found in the Aspen Historical Society archives at aspenhistory.org.

GEAR of the WEEK
by STEPHEN REGENOLD
‘FUTURE GEAR’: GADETS TO GET FROM O.R. SHOW FROM “SMART” FLASHLIGHTS to mega-size shoes, the Outdoor Retailer trade show, held recently in Utah, is a twice-annual look at the latest in gear. Here are a half-dozen items that caught my eye.
POWER FROM FLAME: A stove-type product, the Candle Charger from FlameStower lets you heat water and charge a phone in the wilds. The unit uses heat from a candle or lighted Sterno canister and converts it into electricity. You plug into the stove with a USB cord to charge up a device, and the extra heat boils a small pot of water on top. ($75; available this spring)
MEGA-BOOTS: Hoka is known for its big-sole running shoes. This coming fall the company will ship a mega-boot, its TOR Ultra Hi WP, which will give hikers an ultra-cushioned midsole to absorb the trail. Its upper is made of leather and nylon mesh with a waterproof membrane to keep feet dry. The boot comes with a mega price tag, too, at $230.
PIZZA IN A PACK: Sugar and fruity flavors reign in the energy-food category. Next month Clif Bar will ship something new with a savory energy gel line, including a pizza flavor and one made from sweet potatoes and sea salt. The pizza flavor is comprised of tomato, carrot and quinoa, all pureed with spices. I tried it at the trade show and can attest to its unusual but good, subtle pizza flavor.
‘SMART FLASHLIGHT’: An intelligent flashlight may sound boring. But Fogo is a light source, a GPS device, a two-way radio, and more... all packed into a handheld aluminum cylinder. Its beam, at 1,000 lumens, is a piercing spotlight. A built-in compass, accelerometer, and LED screen on top to control the unit set it apart as something new.
BIG FLAME: The category of camping matches rarely sees big upgrades. The Titan Stormproof Match by UCO is something new with an oversize build that includes 4 inches of strike-to-light flammable material. It burns extremely hot for 25 seconds, and the matches are waterresistant, making starting a fire in the backcountry almost guaranteed. ($10 for a box; available this summer)
‘FAT TIRE’ FOOTWEAR: Another go at the “mega” footwear category comes from Under Armor. The company’s outrageous Fat Tire GTX was designed for hiking or running on “the sloppiest singletrack around,” Under Armour cites. Its huge outsole is equipped with “tire rubber” from Michelin, and the shoe upper is waterproof with a Gore-Tex membrane and a Boa closure to cinch them on tight. ($200; available in fall 2015) Stephen Regenold writes about outdoors gear at www.gearjunkie.com.

WINEINK
ENZO BOGLIETTI AND THE WINE OF PIEDMONT PERHAPS NO OTHER culture in the world celebrates wine with the passion that Italians do. In Italy, wine is part of daily life. I was reminded of this one recent Monday night when I sat down at a community table at L’Hostaria in Aspen for an evening of food, conversation and wine. Enzo Boglietti, a winemaker from Piedmont in Northern KELLY J. Italy who was there HAYES to pour wines from his portfolio at the informal gathering, was, ostensibly, the guest of honor. But in reality it was his extraordinary wines that took center stage. The evening began with a crisp, clean Chardonnay, a grape not normally first to mind when one thinks of Piedmont. But this unoaked Chard, paired with a beautiful platter of cured salmon, was a perfect opener for the evening to come. While my Italian was about on par with Enzo’s rudimentary English, the opening dish gave us time to chat about his journey to Aspen. The Boglietti family has been growing grapes in Langhe, Piedmont, one of the world’s most blessed wine regions, for over 500 years. Sons Enzo and his brother Gianni were determined that instead of just growing grapes for others they would make wine from the storied vines that their family has farmed in the region around the historic community of La Morra. In 1991, they established a winery and have not rested since as they have quested to make wines that tell the story of the region’s vineyards. Since that time they have grown the Boglietti brand into a winery that produces 10,000 cases ranging from the Chardonnay to Dolcetto, Barbara and exquisite Barolos. Tiziano Gortan, who is the proprietor-chef of L’Hostaria, explained to me that he travels to Italy to taste the wines of the region each year at an industry gathering. “There are literally a hundred producers of Barolo at the tasting,” he explained. “I can’t

taste all the wines but this one year I came across a table that had an open bottle. No one was there. But I tasted the wine. It was so good I decided I must find out who makes it and bring it to our restaurant.” Committed to quality and producing wines that reflect their origins, Enzo and Gianni hand pick all of the vineyards and use only organic growing practices. Their oak regimen includes new wood and they strive to allow the wines to speak for themselves. The results are wines that take you on a journey to the land and place. The Dolcetto d’Alba Tiglineri has great acidity and is easy to drink. The structure of the Barbera is firm, but supple, and the cru Barolos are refined and elegant, as one would expect from ”the wine of kings.” Today Enzo and Tiziano are close friends and Tiziano has served as an ambassador of sorts to the Boglietti brand. On this trip, Enzo made stops in Aspen, Vail, New York and New Orleans to introduce his wines to America. This particular evening, L’Hostaria’s sommelier, Carlos Valenzuela, had invited a number of local professionals to meet Enzo and taste his wines. While the range of Boglietti wines are significant it is the cru wines, those from designated vineyards surrounding the small communes, or towns, of La Morra and Serralunga d’ Alba that are the region’s most prestigious. The Barolos, in particular those from the single vineyards of Nebbiolo vines that thrive in the clay and sand soils of the “golden slope,” are the most revered. The vineyards are densely packed with plantings

that go back for a century or more. The highlight of the evening was a magnum of the Boglietti Barolo Vigne delle Brunate 2003 that Enzo poured as we delved into a crock of calamari that had been stewed in red wine and was
served with a perfect polenta. The pairing was earthy and the wine had both the aromas and flavor profiles of the very dirt that gave birth the grapes and the wine. As we sipped the Barolo and inhaled, literally, the bounty of the sea on our plates, Tiziano showed us a video of still photos that his daughter, Viola, a student at Carbondale’s Colorado Rocky Mountain School, had produced. As the wine mellowed, we watched the montage of photos of the winemakers in their homeland intercut with shots of Tiziano, Enzo and Gianni pouring the wines for others. While the gorgeous images of vineyards of the region were the stars, bringing the oohs and aahs,
Viola’s editing showed the true bond that was shared by the friends over the wines. It was a reminder, once again, of how wine can bond people and bring them together. The Italians, they seem to know this instinctively.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS

FOOD FOR FEBRUARY FESTIVITIES RETHINKING MUFFALETTA FOR MARDI GRAS; TRANSFORMING MUSSELS INTO A ROMANTIC MEAL
WE LOVE PIZZA. We love muffaletta. We decided they probably would be easy to love together. So we decided to combine them. In honor of Mardi Gras, we created a muffaletta flatbread, a basic thin-crust pizza topped with all the classic ingredients of New Orleans’ beloved muffaletta sandwich. We start with a red pepper pesto blended from roasted bell peppers, capers and toasted walnuts. We then top that with an olive and cherry pepper blend, then finally sliced salami and provolone cheese. For a shortcut version, prep the red pepper pesto and olive salad ahead of time. They can be refrigerated for several days. You also could substitute mixed marinated olives from the grocer’s olive bar for the olive salad.
LOOKING FOR SOMETHING FAST, easy and a little romantic to cook with your partner this Valentine’s Day? Consider mussels. With a pleasantly briny flavor, mussels pair well with clean, simple flavors, such as fresh herbs with melted butter and lightly cooked onions or leeks, or a sauce made from white wine, heavy cream and garlic. But they also can stand up to more robust partners, such as basil pesto or spicy tomato sauces. However you dress your mussels, they are a breeze to prepare. Start by washing them under cold water. Next, pull out the “beards,” the fibrous strips that stick out from the shells. Meanwhile, in a large pot combine 1/4 inch or so of white wine with a generous few tablespoons of melted butter. Bring to a simmer, then add the mussels, cover and cook, shaking the pan frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the mussels have opened. Be sure to check on the mussels during cooking. As they open, use a slotted spoon to remove them and set aside while the remaining mussels cook. This prevents those that open first from overcooking. Don’t feel like get fancy with a sauce? The juices left in the pan make a delicious one. Add some fresh herbs and a splash of lemon juice, then pour it over the mussels in serving bowls. But since this is Valentine’s Day, maybe you do want to get more creative. So we’ve come up with a delicious — but still simple — variation on this basic recipe.
MUSSELS IN DIJON-ORANGE SAUCE WITH ARUGULA Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 2
MUFFALETTA FLATBREAD
Start to finish: 45 minutes Servings: 6 For the red pepper pesto: 1/2 cup roughly chopped roasted red peppers, drained and patted dry 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus extra 2 tablespoons toasted walnuts For the olive salad: 1/2 cup green olives 1/4 cup black olives 1/4 cup chopped sweet cherry peppers 1/4 cup chopped pickled vegetables 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 teaspoon dried Italian herb blend 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes For the flatbreads: 20-ounce ball pizza dough, room temperature 2 1/2 ounces sliced salami, cut into thin strips 3 ounces sliced provolone cheese, cut into thin strips
P H OTO S B Y M AT T H E W M E A D / T H E A S S O C I AT E D P R E S S
Heat the oven to 500 F. Lightly coat 2 baking sheets with vegetable oil or cooking spray. To make the pesto, in a food processor combine the roasted red peppers, capers, olive oil and the walnuts. Pulse until very finely chopped, then transfer to a bowl. To make the olive salad, in the food processor (no need to clean it) combine both olive varieties, the cherry peppers, pickled vegetables, garlic, pepper, Italian herbs and red pepper flakes. Pulse until roughly chopped. The pieces should be no bigger than a 1/4 inch. Divide the dough into 6 pieces. Stretch or roll the dough into long, thin ovals, about 4-by-9 inches. Arrange the dough on the prepared baking sheets and allow to rest for 10 minutes. If needed, stretch out the dough ovals again. Lightly brush each piece of dough with olive oil. Top each with alternating stripes of pesto and olive salad across the dough, then top with strips of salami and provolone. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the dough is crisp and the flatbreads are lightly browned. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
2 pounds mussels 1 cup white wine 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/4 cup chopped shallot Zest and juice of 1 orange 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 3 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley 2 cups packed baby arugula or watercress 1 red chili, thinly sliced (optional) Crusty bread, to serve
Scrub the mussels with a coarse brush and remove the beards. Rinse thoroughly. In a large pot over medium heat, combine the wine, garlic, shallots, orange zest and juice, mustard and black pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the shallot is tender and the wine is fragrant. Add the mussels and cover, cooking over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the mussels open up. Remove the mussels as they open, discarding any that don’t. Stir in the butter until melted, then divide between 2 serving bowls. Top with chives, parsley, arugula and chili slices, if using. Serve hot with hunks of crusty bread.

Does a modern-day historic pub tour, left, resemble the real deal? Below, Ross Griffin sits on Hotel Jerome bar stool, while Ron Funk and several others talk to the waitress. The photograph was taken as part of an advertising campaign, showing the progress of remodeling in 1972.
INTOXICATINGLY NOSTALGIC
LOOKING AT ASPEN’S PAST WITH A BOOZY DRINK IN HAND IF THERE EXIST ONE COMMON THREAD amongst most young people in this town, besides our love for outdoor adventure, it is probably a shared enthusiasm for our watering holes. We can find rhyme and reason for going out each night of the week...and often, that is exactly what we do. Our well-attended and lively bars don’t BARBARA necessarily mean that PLATTS we are all a bunch of wild and crazy hoodlums, or that we have nothing better to do in this sleepy mountain town then drink our boredom away. In a small town, where it is practically possible to meet everyone, the typical pub or funky bar provides a sense of community. It provides a place for all who wish to congregate over a few cold ones. Gathering at bars is far from a new concept in this town. From Aspen’s early days, when young people came here in search of fortune, they could be found posted up at one of the town’s bars after a long stint in the mines. When the town first started to establish itself as a silver mining community in the late 1880s, mostly men headed here for work. Entire families rarely made the
trek, which meant that men had to find other forms of community. At its peak in the 1800s, Aspen had more than 12,000 residents and 27 saloons, not including restaurants and hotel bars. Without a doubt, the bars were a popular pastime back in the day. Fast forward 100-plus years and things are a bit different. We have a drug lord-themed dance club on one of the main streets in town, a mobile Champagne bar on Aspen Mountain and don’t even get me started on Bootsy Bellows. But, despite the injection of some modernization, the past still exists all around us. And not only exists, it actually thrives. That is what Aspen Historical
P H OTO S B Y BA R BA R A P L AT T S ( TO P ) A N D C O U RT E S Y A S P E N H I S TO R I C A L S O C I E T Y / A N N H O D G E S C O L L E C T I O N
Society’s weekly Historic Pub Tour helps to show. Every Thursday at 3:30 p.m. during the season, the notoriously compelling Mike Monroney, the organization’s history coach and community trainer, takes a group to three of the oldest venues in Aspen, starting at the Red Onion (formerly known as Kelleher’s Saloon), progressing to Justice Snow’s at the Wheeler Opera House and concluding at J Bar at Hotel Jerome. At each stop, the bartenders mix up a libation for attendees to sample, such as a bourbon and ginger drink from the Red Onion, a Killer Kiley at Justice Snow’s and the famous Aspen Crud at J Bar (at least, those were the drinks served
the time I went). Monroney shares stories from the past while his audience sips on stiff drinks. Stories like how the floor at the Red Onion is the original from 1892 (despite the efforts to uproot it when the restaurant almost became an establishment called Junk in 2008). Or that Justice Snow’s was actually named after a Justice back in the mining days. And that the Aspen Crud (a vanilla milkshake spiked with bourbon) at the J Bar probably originated during Prohibition. Parents would bring their kids in for a pop at the Hotel Jerome soda fountain and nonchalantly order an adult drink. Monroney doesn’t just share old pub stories. He paints a detailed picture of the entire town of Aspen, providing tales on the town’s growth, development and traditions that still live on today. Plus, you learn all of these things with a drink in hand. What a perfect way to bring Aspen’s past and present together. To find out more, visit aspenhistory.org or call 970.925.3721. Barbara Platts may go on this tour once a week from here on out. Reach her at bplatts.000@gmail. com or follower her on Twitter @BarbaraPlatts.

in GOOD SPIRITS THREE EXPERTS pour KNOWLEDGE on the
HANDCRAFTED BOOZE MOVEMENT
by AMANDA RAE
WALK INTO ANY LIQUOR STORE or watering hole and you may want to brace yourself: An assault on your intelligence is nigh. So-called “craft” spirits are booming — there are now more than 600 microdistillers of artisanal whiskey, vodka, rum, tequila, and other types of hooch, according to the American Distilling Institute, a figure that has soared from just 50 in 2005 — but they’re also loosely labeled and regulated. Jimmy Yeager, proprietor of Jimmy’s: An American Restaurant and Jimmy’s Bodega, calls it a “massive misinformation campaign.” What’s going on, and how might we parse quality products from the pack? Seeking guidance, I sat down with three local experts in the wide world of American spirits: Yeager; Mark Kleckner, CFO/COO of Woody Creek Distillers in Basalt; and Jeremy Barbin, on-premise spirits specialist for Southern Wine & Spirits of Colorado. Each subject — a bar owner, an artisanal producer, and the liaison between the two — identifies the issues surrounding this burgeoning trend to uncover what, exactly, lurks in the bottles.

A S P E N T I M E S . C O M / W E E K LY

First off, what’s your definition of ‘craft spirit’? JEREMY BARBIN: That’s a tough question. Craft, to me, means something that’s not mass produced, that you can track from farm to bottle. Small-scale production. MARK KLECKNER: That’s a great definition. I think it’s more hands-on. There are parallels to the food industry: On one end there’s fast food, and on the other end there’s fine dining. JIMMY YEAGER: My first distinction has much less to do with volume. For instance, when Mark gets to the point where he’s doing half a million cases per year, is it a mega-corporation like Diageo, or is there a face behind the product? Is he turning the still on in the morning, is he there distilling? I think that craft is not something that’s mechanized (but) a hands-on process. I’m not concerned with the size of an operation; if somebody grows and stays true to their craft process, that doesn’t take them out of craft distilling because they’ve become a higher volume company. JB: You have what Mark and Woody Creek Distillers are doing, and then you have neutral grain spirits and Costco. Those two are easy to define, but then there’s everything in the middle. You have to realize that there are small guys who are not being truthful — who are buying industrial spirits — just like the Tito’s of the world. What’s the deal with the class-action lawsuits against Tito’s Vodka, anyway? JY: Tito’s got in big trouble. They went from this small operation where they were pot-distilling their vodka…as they got bigger they realized they had this hook into the market. Instead of just becoming a bigger company, going out and buying industrialized vodka and finishing it in that craft style, they chose to mislead the consumer. JB: Another lawsuit dropped today in New Jersey against Tito’s and the whole ‘handcrafted’ thing.
Producers) in Indiana, but with name recognition, people thought that’s what rye should taste like because it’s Bulleit. The thing that doesn’t bother me about Bulleit is that A) They label on the back of their bottles where the whiskey is from, and B) They don’t charge a large premium. Bottles are still under 30 bucks. You’re asking for transparency and fairness. JY: When all of the sudden you have these companies charging enormous premiums for very standard industrial product then passing it off as a craft, that’s when the hair on the back of my neck stands up. Whereas with Bulleit I’m OK with a non-distilled product. There’s nothing wrong with it—as long as you’re honest. JB: Take Maker’s Mark: they put ‘handcrafted’ on their label and they got sued. That’s where it starts to get fuzzy. Maker’s Mark you can trace back to the Samuels family. I’ve been to the distillery. You have what people perceive are these huge, national, global brands — Maker’s, Patron — but when it comes down to it, they’re still, in my mind, handcrafted or handmade or small batch, because you can trace the lineage and where it comes from. From a sales point of view, if Spring44 says, ‘We buy our stuff in Kentucky and its only ‘Colorado bourbon’ because we put Colorado water in it? Hey, man, let the consumer decide.
JY: And none of this is limited to vodka or whiskey. This is across the board. I get offended when there’s a little bit of truth and a lot of untruth in marketing. This is what puts people like Jeremy in a tough position and wants to send Mark through the roof. I’ll stand by the Leopold Bros., and Woody Creek Distillers all day long, because I know what they do. I can’t go visit every distillery, but there’s lots more info available. On a label, it’s fairly simple: Distilled By or Produced By/ Bottled By. Breckenridge Bourbon, I’m on the fence. They’re starting to add their own bourbon in as a blend, but it doesn’t really pass the smell test... MK: [Breckenridge Distillery] sells a ton of vodka, and it is 100 percent industrial. You can walk into their facility and see what they can and can’t do. You see industrial tanks, (but) they’ll tell you they make it. If the consumer just realizes that it takes at least two years to make bourbon…the temptation is there to buy some aged whiskey. We didn’t wanna do that. Templeton Rye is another, claiming they’re using Al Capone’s pre-Prohibition recipe, but it’s the exact same industrial rye coming from MGP in Indiana. They aren’t being honest about it! MEETING OF THE MINDS: (clockwise from top): Jimmy’s and Jimmy’s Bodega proprietor Jimmy Yeager; Mark Kleckner, CFO/COO of Woody Creek Distillers; and Jeremy Barbin, on-premise spirits specialist for Southern Wine & Spirits hash out the issues in the craft spirits industry; one can trace ingredients from farm to bottle at Woody Creek Distillers in Basalt.
So if a product is labeled ‘handcrafted,’ how do we know if it’s actually an industrial, mass-produced product? MK: A clear and distinct way to know is to look on the bottle and see who it’s distilled by. If it’s just ‘produced and bottled by,’ they’re buying it. If I can buy a handle for 20 bucks, it’s probably not craft. JY: Let’s take two whiskeys: Bulleit and Whistle Pig. Bulleit started out more than 20 years ago, buying whiskey bourbon from Four Roses/Jim Rutledge. It’s darn good whiskey. They leveraged that quality and started buying rye from MGP (Midwest Grain

not made in Texas, they still want to support it. It’s off our list, but we still have a bottle for those diehards. Because it’s not my job to tell people what to drink. What is your responsibility? JY: Being an end seller, I’m a consumer advocate. I’m the last stop between the product and the customer, so shame on me if I don’t know what I’m selling. I can rely 60-70 percent only on the distributors. And I say only because it’s not their fault. The rotation of personnel from company to company is so rapid — and Jeremy’s the exception; [at 5 years] you’re an old man in the business. These guys are trained on their product and not on their category. There’s a lot of pressure, these products come in, they have to move. It’s a business. MK: Jimmy, you can maintain neutrality if you choose to, but Jeremy and many other distributors don’t have that luxury. They’ve got big brands that keep the lights on in the building for them.
So these brands are flat-out deceiving us? JY: Take Whistle Pig, buying their rye from Alberta Distillers in Canada. I know someone in Mexico that buys it by the tanker at $7 a liter! And that’s tanked from Canada to Mexico, and Whistle Pig is right over the border in Vermont. The Alberta premium is probably in the $6-10 range. Whistle Pig is charging, through a distributor, $65 a 750ml. This has gone too far! Their labeling is craft, their image is craft, their pontification is craft... ... But they ain’t craft. Mark, as a competing farm-to-bottle producer, how does this make you feel? MK: When we first started a few years ago it really pissed me off. These guys are cheating. They’re cutting corners. They’re not being honest. But I’ve always taken the approach: Do things the right way, people will see that, and you’ll prevail in the end. We’ve stuck to our guns. Fortunately, people like Jimmy and Jeremy are getting the word out. In the last couple of years there’s been a paradigm shift in the knowledge, first in the industry and then in the consumer base. JY: It makes a difference, to people like Mark, to have end sellers who are willing to stand up. Here at the Bodega, I had a very luxurious opportunity to start over with my spirits list. Over the years at Jimmy’s, we’ve built relationships with certain brands. It’s hard to drop them, even if they’ve changed [the recipe]. Say Tito’s: Texas pride is a hard thing to fight. I’ve had people tell me straight to the face, ‘I don’t care, it’s still made in Texas!’ Even though I’m telling them its PHOTOS BY AUBREE DALLAS
Jeremy, how much comes down on you to sell the product line instead of the real story? JB: My job as a distributor is performancebased, buying from guys like Mark to international companies. At the end of the day, how much did you sell? That’s what you’re judged on. You have to know your customer. With Jimmy, I wouldn’t try to sell him Whistle Pig.
At what point did you know that Whistle Pig was not made in Vermont? JB: Oh, that the Whistle Pig distillery didn’t even exist? Not when I first got it. These things are presented to us on another level. Maker’s Mark, Dave Pickerell: this was his ‘swan song.’ He created this little brand on a farm in Vermont when he left Maker’s’ — you’re given this picture. MK: What’s been awesome for me to experience is the fact that you’re willing to assess a local craft distiller, and you’re willing to try it. JB: If I could make a living just selling Mark’s stuff, and Leopold Bros., sign me up. But that’s not the case. Every brand I sell has applications in different places. What I sell to Jimmy or Justice Snow’s is different from what I sell to other bars in town. The problem is that smaller guys try and play off what guys like Mark and Leopold Bros., are doing and ride on their coattails, and it’s total bullshit. Mark has every right to sit here and feel pissed off about the labeling in the industry, and rightly so. JY: I do think that the government has a responsibility, that there’s fairness in labeling. The government of Mexico has great pride in tequila and mezcal. Every bottle is numbered as to what distillery it’s made from. There are production methods outlined, and severe if not lethal penalties for companies who don’t comply. How are bar owners and consumers responding? JB: Aspen is trending toward people educating themselves. Vodka is all marketing — it’s what friends drink, it’s what’s cool, it’s what Jay-Z drinks. How many times can you give someone at a bar this brand or this brand or this brand and they can pick out their vodka? Very rarely. MK: I had not heard many complaints about our spirit until we were passing our stuff at the 2014 X Games. You have a ton of kids [of legal age] who mix it with Red Bull, who were looking for neutral vodka. I probably heard a dozen times, ‘Did you give me tequila?’ It has flavor. It’s not neutral. JY: By definition vodka is the absence of flavor, but it doesn’t really mean there’s no flavor. It’s an unadulterated spirit — there’s a purity of the grain or potato or grape. JB: Woody Creek is challenging the industry as a whole. Mark can see the potato through the bottle to the store — that’s an amazing story. They’re changing the way people think about vodka. It’s not just tasteless, odorless, over-distilled, straight alcohol. It’s groundbreaking. So, what do we make of all this? JY: Sometimes it doesn’t matter. People just want something good. I know guys who will just drink Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey. There’s nothing wrong with Jack Daniel’s. Whose job is it to put up a billboard saying if its ‘produced and bottled’ it’s not ‘distilled by’ [that brand]? Some people are open to that conversation, some people are not. JB: If you like it, drink it.
STILL LIFE (clockwise from top): The custom-made copper and stainless-steel Carl Distilling System at Woody Creek Distillers requires just one distillation to create pure vodka, gin, whiskey, bourbon, brandy, and eau-de vie, some of which are aged carefully in barrels; Jimmy Yeager, Mark Kleckner, and Jeremy Barbin have strong opinions about the untruths in the handcrafted spirits industry, and all agree that the government must step up regulation.

VOYAGES
ESCAPE ARTIST | GRAND CAYMAN
by AMIEE WHITE BEAZLEY
CAYMAN COOKOUT
A STAR-STUDDED, FAMILY AFFAIR IN PARADISE I WAS SITTING BENEATH A WHITE TENT, the Caribbean just feet to my left. The only barrier between me and those turquoise waters was a row of potted palms gently swaying in the warm air. On the stage was Eric Ripert, celebrity chef and owner of New York’s Le Bernadin, and Anthony Bourdain, star of CNN’s “Parts Unknown” and AMIEE WHITE author of “Kitchen BEAZLEY Confidential.” Just two guys, best friends, cooking Portuguese seafood stew, shootin’ the breeze. I looked to my right and beneath a shaded oversized couch was Bourdain’s wife and daughter, chef Marcus Samuelson and his wife, Jose Andres’ kids and Daniel Boulud wearing matching swim trunks with his 6-month-old son. I felt as though I had crashed a private party or won a lottery ticket to the best family vacation a food lover could dream of. The reality of the situation actually wasn’t far off — the ticket I had was for the Cayman Cookout, the most intimate, laidback and jovial of Food & Wine’s juggernaut of food festivals.
Taking place over four days, with the majority of events, tastings and presentations at the flawless RitzCarlton Grand Cayman — in the hotel and on beneath beach tents — the Cayman Cookout began five years ago as the brainchild of Ripert himself. Inspired by his restaurant Blue at the Ritz-Carlton, Ripert created the concept with the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism, where he envisioned spending a long, sunny weekend with his friends, celebrating Cayman cuisine and culture. “We wanted it small,” explains Ripert. He and I were chatting next to the main pool at the Ritz, where fans intermittently stopped by to rave about their experiences at his two restaurants. “It started with the hotel and local chefs competing and having fun. Our idea was always very upscale, very intimate, where chefs can hang out with their fellow chefs, bring their families and children and have quality time with them, and
interact with the public. There is this intimacy here that you cannot find any longer at the bigger festivals.” (Not even at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen.) Events start midmorning. Early mornings are reserved for attendees to run on the beach or work out in the gym alongside star chefs. Seminars are often with just handfuls of other attendees learning about seafood preparation or enjoying tastings of the best beach wines. There are no recipes provided, or slick tasting notebooks to lug around in tote bags. Most attendees are in flipflops or barefooted, sipping on rum punch and rosé. What separate this festival from others, aside from the remarkably small size and paradise setting, are the beach galas. With only 500 tickets sold, the nighttime Barefoot BBQ features all of the celebrity chefs serving guests their take on island-inspired cuisine, accompanied by local rum,
cocktails, wine and the sounds of the ocean and local musicians. Guests are shuttled from the hotel to the event, where everyone kicks off their heels, giving it a private party feel. This is only outdone by the smaller Sunday visit to Stingray City and the Beach Bash at Rum Point. Starting midmorning, guests are shuttled via catamarans to Stingray City — a natural sandbar, where wild stingrays gather to feed. This is the tailgating scene of the Caribbean. Dozens of boats surround the sandbar, while people wade amongst these Jurassic creatures. After swimming with, petting and even kissing these beautiful animals, guests are gathered back into the boat to be motored to the ultimate daytime party, with food stations, mixologists, French desserts made with imported Peruvian chocolate and hand-blended in Austria (yes, these were a real thing) at one of the most picturesque locations on the planet — reason enough to make the trip to Grand Cayman. “I like this island a lot,” says Ripert. “It’s a very small island; however, it’s an island that offers a lot. You can be a scuba diver, just enjoy the beach, and go shopping. It has a true Caribbean culture that hasn’t disappeared. “(The Ritz-Carlton) brought me here in 2000. (Blue) is the only restaurant that I have outside of Le Bernadin, because this hotel is very great in terms of quality of service. If I’m going to partner with someone, it has to be with someone who has the same passion about the quality and about creating an experience. That’s why it was a good fit.” It’s the perfect fit, ingredients and presentation on an island that stays close to its roots and celebrates the people, the sea and the food of the region with chefs who are, like the guests, pinching themselves at their good fortune.

A CLASSICAL HOMECOMING
CELLIST ALISA WEILERSTEIN OPENS ASPEN MUSIC FESTIVAL WINTER SERIES CELLIST ALISA WEILERSTEIN made her debut on stage in Aspen 20 years ago, as a precocious student at the Aspen Music Festival and School. But the acclaimed musician, now 32, had been coming to the annual summer festival since she was 3 months old. Her parents were long-serving members of the Music School faculty and brought Weilerstein along as her mother taught piano and her father taught violin. “It was wonderful,” Weilerstein told me from Taiwan, where she performed with Taipei Symphony Orchestra during an Asian tour in late January. “I also formed some of my longest-lasting friendships in Aspen. It was a very important, formative place for me.” She recalls playing Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 9 in the music tent with David Zinman conducting, and performing in the orchestra for operas like “The Magic Flute” and “La Traviata” (still the only opera performances in her career) in her early teen years. Her teachers in those formative years included masters like David Finkel and Dorothy DeLay. As an adult, Weilerstein has become a leading cellist, and was awarded a MacArthur “genius” grant in 2011. Along the way, she’s frequently made it back to Aspen as a guest performer — including a family recital in 2012 with her parents and her brother Joshua, who is a conductor. On Feb. 12, she returns to open the Aspen Music Festival’s Winter Music Series at Harris Concert Hall. Though she spent summers here throughout her childhood, and has frequently returned to perform, the recital brings her to Aspen for her first winter visit. The program for the performance of unaccompanied cello pieces includes two of Bach’s cello suites, bracketed by Golijov’s “Omaramor” and a Kodaly cello sonata. “I wanted to make a Bach circle in a way — well, it’s really a Bach sandwich isn’t it?” she says. She aimed to place the iconic
Bach suites between two more contemporary composers. “In the 19th century [after Bach] there was not really any great solo cello repertoire,” she says. “It didn’t really come into the fore as a solo instrument until the 20th century. And that really started with the Kodaly sonata, which is really the centerpiece of the program. It’s one of my favorite pieces in the world and one of Kodaly’s best.” The Kodaly piece, she notes, displays a diverse array of emotion and musical color, while demanding some eye-catching technique for a live audience. “It’s visually quite fun to watch because it uses so many techniques which Kodaly demands that are not normal to see in a western classical recital,” she says. “So it’s fun for me to play and it’s fun to watch.” As an in-demand performer around the globe, Weilerstein stresses the importance educating the next generation of music lovers, while also
engaging today’s working composers and providing them an audience. She has close working relationships with a half-dozen composers, she says. “I’m trying to promote the music of my time and music that I believe in,” she says. “I’m trying to enrich as many audiences as possible through performance and education and through different ways of making music available to people.” The Winter Music Series will continue on Feb. 19 with a Brahmsthemed evening performance by
pianist Orli Shaham and closes March 14 with a recital of Schumann works by pianist Vladmir Feltsman. atravers@aspentimes.com

Spek needs a new home. His owners love him very much but due to personal medical reasons can no longer keep him. We think he is a 5yr White German Shepherd and Border Collie Mix. Spek is a loving and loyal dog, and is fine with cats. He is well behaved in the house and potty trained. He listens well to basic commands. He would do great with someone who loves hiking and would spend quality time with him. Spek loves to run, sprint and play with most other dogs! Spek does pull on a leash when he sees other dogs so does best with a gentle leader. Spek is current on all his vaccinations, is neutered and micro chipped. If you are interested in adding this gorgeous dog to your family, please fill out an application on www.luckydayrescue.org then call 970-379-4606. Only serious inquiries please as Speks next home needs to be his forever home! LUCKY DAY ANIMAL RESCUE OF COLORADO

BOOK REVIEW
‘THE UNWINDING’ WHEN A U.S. POLITICIAN wants to underscore a point about American exceptionalism or stickto-itiveness, they’ll dependably find a feel-good story to tell with Main Street characters to inspire you or tug at your heartstrings. Last month in President Obama’s State of the Union address it was a Minnesota couple that struggled to weather the recession. In John McCain’s 2008 campaign it was Joe the Plumber, for reasons most of us no longer remember. New Yorker staff writer George Packer uses a similar rhetorical tool in “The Unwinding: An Inner History of the New America,” but for journalistic ends — and to greater effect — as he chronicles a country in crisis.

The result is the epic, heartwrenching true story of our times and the loss of American promise, if not hope.

institutions over the last generation. His main characters come from both the 99 and 1 percent, and are all portrayed in granular detail. They include Dean Price, a farmer’s son who futilely tries to bring green energy entrepreneurship to the rural south; Jeff Connaughton, a disillusioned Washington insider who watches first hand as big money gridlocks the federal government; Tammy Thomas, a machinist in Youngstown, Ohio, who fights to organize and save her dying city; and Peter Thiel, who strikes it rich in Silicon Valley but is left wanting more from our best and brightest than 140 characters on Twitter. In Tampa, Packer dissects the housing crisis by profiling the people it utterly devastated. In downtown Manhattan, he reports from Occupy Wall Street as “the unwinding” appears to be spawning a revolution before it
