THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

by ANDREW TRAVERS

POPULAR MUSIC IF YOU’RE NOT in a food

coma or a rosé-induced slumber by nightfall Friday during the Food & Wine Classic, Belly Up Aspen is the place to be.

The music club, in a concert presented by Butter Chardonnay, is hosting the fearsome British band The Struts, who have been making a name for themselves and making rock ’n’ roll great again in recent years with wild shows that offer a throwback to the heyday of glam rock.

Before the four-piece released its 2014 debut album “Everybody Wants,” the band was piling up comparisons to the legendary likes of Queen and David Bowie and the Rolling Stones. The Stones, in fact, signed them up to open for them in Paris.

The Struts songs, like “Could Have Been Me” and “Kiss This,” are epic rifffilled rockers with danceable beats and catchy melodies.

Their energetic concerts have quickly earned the band a reputation among the best live rock bands on the road today. All of which is to say, they’re bringing a perfect soundtrack for Aspen’s biggest party of the year.

The show is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. with Texas rock band The Unlikely Candidates opening. Tickets are $35, available at the Belly Up box office and www.bellyupaspen.com.

Pick up the June 16 Weekend section of the Aspen Times or go to aspentimes.com for more on the show and an interview with Struts frontman Luke Spiller.

The Struts will headline Belly Up Aspen on Friday, June 16.

CURRENTEVENTS PERFORMING ARTS

American Renewable Energy Day (AREDAY) runs from June 19 to 23 in Snowmass Village.

ASPEN BREW

1887 ASPEN

ON MAY 7, 1887, the Rocky Mountain Sun boasted about how Aspen’s beer compared to the rest of the world. As the paper noted, “Prof. Schwackhofer of Vienna thinks that beer fully deserves the designation of liquid bread, as it is undoubtedly nutritious, and less liable to be adulterated than wine. A community is always blessed when it has within its confines a good brewery to supply its inhabitants with a pure article of beer. California furnishes wine superior to the imported article, and our own beer equals the German product. The birthplace of beer is Egypt. A papyrus has been discovered on which a father reproaches his son for lounging about in taverns and drinking too much beer. From Egyptians, the art of brewing beer descended to the Ethiopians. While the Romans despised beer, the Germans of the north of Europe fully appreciated its good qualities. Beer is ‘liquid strength:’ it aids digestion, keeps up the vitality and enables it to throw off disease. The Bock beer of the Aspen brewery is a very superior article; perfectly pure, it is devoid of any unpleasant taste.

The Aspen brewery is situated on the north bank of the Roaring Fork, close to town. Mr. Jake Mack is the proprietor and Chris Saunders the manager, and they have a most perfect plant, and their Bock beer is highly spoken of by the medical profession as an article suited for restoring strength to the invalid. It is a favorite family beverage. Orders by mail promptly attended to.” The photo above shows Aspen circa 1891, with the area where the brewery was located near Hunter Creek.

GEAR of the WEEK

WEAR IT: LUMOS LIGHT-UP HELMET IT MAY LOOK LIKE A PROP from a sci-fi flic. But the Lumos helmet is a new tool for bikers who find themselves out after dark.

With bright-white LED lights in front and red LEDs in back, the helmet gives cyclists superior visibility. A bonus, it has turn signals that operate with a handlebar-mounted control.

The $179 helmet for the most part proved solid in my review. Its brightness was visible to drivers and fellow cyclists, and with their high position (on my head) the LEDs serve as a beacon riding in the night.

It may seem expensive. However, a bike helmet and quality set of lights can cost as much as the Lumos. The helmet is third-party certified in the U.S. and Europe for impact safety.

It weighs 15.5 ounces and charges via a USB cable. One button on the back of the helmet controls the modes. The helmet has strobe and continuous-shine settings for front and back.

In all, there are 60 LED lights that shine up to 80 lumens bright.

The helmet has additional safety features you set up with an app.

Pair the helmet to a phone for a brake-light feature. Your phone senses when you’re decelerating and signals the helmet to brighten its rear LEDs. Another feature: the Lumos comes with handlebar turnsignal buttons. Pair these with the helmet and you can alert drivers that you’re turning, with orange arrows illuminating on the back.

The Lumos launched as a crowdfunded product on Kickstarter in 2015. They are now on the market and ready for purchase and wear before you again roll off into the night.

ASPEN UNTUCKED

by BARBARA PLATTS

THIS ONE’S FOR THE MILLENNIALS THE 35TH ANNUAL Food & Wine Classic in Aspen is almost here. Wine reps are unpacking boxes in the Grand Tasting Tent. Worldrenowned chefs are prepping meals that will be talked about for months, or even years, after they’re devoured. And attendees, and potential ones, are prepping their bodies for what is sure to be a desperately indulgent weekend.

BARBARA PLATTS As much as I thoroughly enjoy Food & Wine weekend in Aspen, I’m not going to talk about it much this year. All eyes and most articles in town are focused on the upcoming foodie weekend. I figured I would skip forward a couple of weeks and talk about the valley’s next biggest happening: the Aspen Ideas Festival.

This event, created and hosted by the Aspen Institute, occurs every year at the end of June, bringing thousands of bright minds together for a 10-day festival filled with lectures, discussions and films.

This year, for the very first time, the Aspen Institute is specifically engaging Generation Y, also known as 18 to 35 year olds, with the Millennial Pass. These passes, which cost only $99, are limited. The first batch were sold at the beginning of June. On June 16, the Aspen Institute

is releasing another round of passes on a first-come, first-served basis.

Access to the festivals are thousands of dollars (and most are sold out), so this special pass is a surprisingly great deal. It doesn’t give the passholders access to all of the events, but it does make 80-plus public events more accessible, including morning and evening sessions at the St. Regis, Hotel Jerome and Limelight Hotel.

Spotlight Health sessions in the McNulty Room and evening events on the Aspen Institute campus are also accessible from June 22 to July 1 with the Millennial Pass.

In typical Aspen Ideas Festival style, many of the speakers and events have yet to be announced.

However, the pass does confirm a few “sample sessions” that will be available to pass holders. They include the following: ‘AN INCONVENIENT SEQUEL: TRUTH TO POWER’ FILM SCREENING

The sequel to the 2006 awardwinning documentary “An Inconvenient Truth,” this film looks at Al Gore’s continued journey to fight climate change. It highlights the progress that has been made with investment in renewable energy and compromises that governmental leaders have made across the globe.

But it also shows how much more

we have to do in order to save our planet. Directed by Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk, “An Inconvenient Sequel” is scheduled to come out in late July. Aspen Festival attendees will get a sneak peak of it over Ideas Fest. I just watched the preview for it this week and got goose bumps. This film, just like the first, is going to be impactful.

‘POD SAVE AMERICA’ LIVE PODCAST TAPING

Crooked Media’s popular political podcast will host a live taping of an episode at the Ideas Festival. Pod Save America began in January. It has four hosts, who all worked for the Obama administration in one form or another, including former director of speech writing Jon Favreau, speech writer Jon Lovett, senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer and spokesperson Tommy Vietor. They post at least one episode per week, sometimes more. The exact date of the live recording in Aspen has not yet been published, but details are certain to come soon.

‘TRUMP ADMINISTRATION REPORT CARD’ WITH CHARLIE SYKES, ARTHUR BROOKS AND AMY WALTER

As with the other Ideas Festival events, precise details on this are still to come. However this discussion will most likely involve

“grading” the Trump administration thus far. The three speakers of the session are all political commentators, of sorts. Charlie Sykes hosted a conservative talk show in Wisconsin for 23 years. He’s currently an analyst on MSNBC and is publishing the book “How the Right Lost Its Mind” in October of this year. Arthur Brooks is the president of conservative think tank American Enterprise Institute.

He’s also known as a social scientists and musician. And Amy Walter is a political analyst currently heading the online newspaper The Cook Political Report. Before that she was the political director at ABC News. With this roster, the discussion is sure to be informative and well-rounded.

In conclusion, Food & Wine is almost here. Enjoy the weekend, have a bit of fun, but leave some brain cells intact as the Aspen Ideas Festival is sure to bring stimulating conversation and inventive thought.

If you’re a millennial — between 18 and 35 years of age — and are interested in the Aspen Institute’s pass, find out more about it at AspenIdeas.org or AspenShowTix.com.

Barbara Platts is giddy with excitement about the Aspen Ideas Festival. Reach her at bplatts.000@gmail.com.

WINEINK

PASSION FRUIT

THREE DREAMERS. THREE GRAPES. SOME WINEMAKERS focus on making the best cabernet sauvignon or the best pinot noir.

Then there are others who think differently, who go further afield and who indulge in flights of fantasy with obscure grape varieties that seemingly speak directly to them. Sometimes, only to them.

“I don’t know,” Elisa Dilavanzo KELLY J. said, gesturing with HAYES her hands. “It’s just that I love yellow muscat, you understand?” It was not just the make-you-melt Italian accent, or the intensity in her eyes as she said it, there was something about her entire being that conveyed her passion for moscato giallo, as the grape is identified in Italy.

Sally Ottoson knows the feeling.

“There are a number of longtime families in Mendocino and Ukiah, many from Piemonte in Italy, who had these amazing vineyards of old vines with grapes like charbono,” the Mendocino Coast winemaker said about discovering a fruit for her dreams. “I just fell in love with them. It was new to me and just so exciting.”

And in Venice, Italy, Gianluca Bisol has created a hotel, a Michelin-starred restaurant and a destination for wine lovers, all around a grape called dorona which, without his intervention may well have disappeared. A visit to Venissa, on the tiny island of Mazzorbo, is a matchless culinary, wine and historical experience.

What bonds these three winemakers is that they share passion for grapes that may well make great wine, but are, to the rest of the wine world, anomalies.

But these are labors of love.

Perhaps one day there will be demand for dorona, charbono and moscato giallo. And that is precisely why the efforts of these creative winemakers are so courageous and so important.

relatively recently. An exuberant, emotional and welcoming soul with boundless beauty (she reluctantly admits to being a former beauty queen), she was hired in 2010 to restore a hilltop vineyard in the volcanic soils of the Euganean Hills just west of Venice. There she fostered a fondness for a number of obscure varieties, but especially the moscato giallo.

“It is so fragrant and there were so many ways that it can express itself. I just love it,” she effuses.

Today, one tale of the grape is told in her Maeli Moscato Fior d’Arancio Colli Euganei DOCG 2015, a stunning sweet sparkler that is as beguiling a wine as one can find today. With just 6 percent alcohol and 110 grams of residual sugar by the liter, this wine marries sweetness with orange/ tangerine floral notes and a creamy, balanced texture on the tongue.

Charbono is surely one of those.

SALLY’S PLEASURE

GIANLUCA’S OBSESSION

Sally Ottoson and her husband Mark (they blended in marriage this past spring) are the stewards of one of California’s winery gems.

The tiny Pacific Star Winery sits perched upon an impossibly green slope that juts into the Pacific on the coast just north of Ft. Bragg.

It is here that she crafts one of the few 100 percent charbono wines made in California today.

A little known grape, with origins in either the Savoie in the foothills of the French Alps or Piemonte in Italy, depending on whom you wish to believe, charbono is gaining acclaim in Argentina under the moniker bonarda. It is dark, tannic and worthy of intense examination.

“Inglenook and Parducci used to make charbono, but it had dwindled to just about 47 acres of plantings,” Sally explained to me last year on a winery visit. A few acres of charbono remained under the care of a Ukiah grower.

“I asked him to plant a couple of acres and people started to take notice,” Sally said.

Today there are close to 90 acres of charbono, producing wines that many consider to be cult classics. The 2012 Pacific Star

Gianluca Bisol and his family have a storied history in the Valdobbiadene region of Italy making some of Italy’s finest Prosecco. But it was on a trip in 2002 to Torcello, Italy, that Gianluca found his muse.

“I noticed an old grapevine in a private garden beside the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta. I managed to persuade the owner to send me some of the grapes when they had matured,” he recalls. “The crates arrived full of lovely, thick-skinned grapes with a brilliant golden color. It was the famous dorona, also known as the golden grape, well-loved by the Venetians and served during the banquets of the Doges and then lost to history.”

Gianluca has since devoted himself to the project of producing Venissa, not just the resort, but a wine from the golden dorona that has become, in a short time, one of the most sought after white wines by aficionados.

Here’s to the dreamers.

Kelly J. Hayes lives in the soon-to-be-designated appellation of Old Snowmass. He can be reached at malibukj@aol.com

UNDER THE INFLUENCE VENISSA BIANCO 2012

“I could drink a case of you,” Joni Mitchell once sang, and in the gleaming bottles at the Venissa Estate is a wine that I would be happy to drink a case of.

The experience of a bottle of Venissa is about more than just the liquid inside.

Each of the bottles is a piece of art in and of itself. 3,911 bottles are individually numbered and handfinished. A label of gold leaf is placed on the bottles that are then refired by craftsmen in the Giovanni Moretti glassworks on Murano. The bottles are a detail but also a significant element of the total experience that make Gianluca Bisol’s monumental project so inspiring.

The wine has floral spicy, salty character that is totally unique.

Produced on an island that is surrounded by the lagoons of Venice in soils that are very shallow, this is a wine for savoring and reflecting.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS

OUT OF ASPEN

HOME ON THE FREE RANGE IN BASALT SHORTLY AFTER Free Range Kitchen & Wine Bar opened in Basalt this past winter, a visitor stopped in with a hankering for a burger. But, as co-owner Steve Humble tells it, executive chef Flip Wise’s signature Range Burger — smothered in drunken, fire-charred onions, poblano peppers, and queso fresco — sounded a bit too “out there,” AMANDA RAE according to this patron. He asked if the kitchen might swap plain ol‘ lettuce, tomato, and onion for the heady Mexican toppings. Humble obliged on two of three; tomatoes were a no-go, though. They didn’t have any in stock.

“He looked at me like I had two heads,” Humble says, with a laugh. “‘What restaurant doesn’t have tomatoes?’” the guy asked. Humble explained that Free Range didn’t have any because tomatoes weren’t in season.

Another strange look prompted further elaboration: “Well, we can get tomatoes right now, but they’re typically from Mexico, they have no sugar content, no flavor, they’re hard as a rock, they’re just not that good,” Humble said. “If we can’t do it right, we’re not gonna do it.”

Trepidation toward Free Range’s ever-evolving, hyper-seasonal menu is not atypical. Humble shares a story of a recent group of longtime friends and members of the Roaring Fork Club, where Humble built an award-winning wine program over a sweet sixteen years. (His wife and Free Range co-owner, Robin, ran the private venue’s catering department for a decade.) The self-proclaimed traditionalists admitted that the menu skewed overly adventurous for their tastes. A few bites, however, changed their minds fast.

“We’ve not played it safe,” Humble says. “And Flip continually surprises me.”

sautéed hardy greens on a fat slice of house-made caraway-raisin soda bread. The stack is drenched generously yet purposefully with burnt-orange Hollandaise, then showered with tiny pink edible flowers and lavender crystals of beet juice-infused, smoked Maldon sea salt.

“It’s not a cool gimmick,” Wise promises of the seasoning. “You get that sweet, rooty, minerally flavor of the smoke in the salt. It’s so good.”

The base ingredients, meanwhile, speak for themselves. The protein hails from animals that roam free on a rotational grazing schedule at Rock Bottom Ranch just a few miles away. As does the pork in the potstickers, served with burntgarlic ponzu, as well as the seasonal vegetables that compose succotash beneath Free Range’s daily pork entrée with slow-simmered mole.

The Range Burger is made with beef from Mountain Primal Meat Co. in Carbondale.

Wise’s nightly curry special soon will toggle between lamb shoulder from Aspen Cattle Company and diver scallops via “Kaleb, my fish guy from up in Alaska,” he says. Wise and sous chef Patrick Kennedy made kimchi from 60 pounds of radish tops from Erin’s Acres. Focaccia, fresh pasta, sauces, soups — all of it is from scratch, natch.

The kitchen’s latest score: Podded snap peas from Wild Mountain Seeds in Carbondale. “They’re marbled purple and green — gorgeous,” Wise enthuses. “I think, I’m gonna do a special tonight: Tagliatelle with togarashi, basil, Parmesan rind stock, and the podded snap peas. Umami from the togarashi, herby brightness from the basil, an incredible multitude of flavors from the Parmesan, and that sweet crunch from the snap peas.”

Summer harvest season is just warming up in our high-altitude valley, yet Free Range has already flipped the script on what it means to eat local food. Situated in Basalt, at least 20 miles closer to the region’s fertile farmland

Chef Flip Wise’s charred local radishes with snap peas, panzanella, 12-year-aged balsamic, olive oil, and truffle butter.

than Aspen, Wise and Kennedy have been able to build personal relationships with farmers and ranchers. (“Courting” purveyors, Wise quips.) They visit gardens and pastures and review planting schedules in advance, which inform future menus.

All of this may require extra time and effort in between lunch and dinner service, but these steps are non-negotiable; an estimated 90 percent of Free Range ingredients are bred in Paonia, Hotchkiss, Montrose, and the Roaring Fork Valley. (The two-year-old Farm Runners delivery service will prove invaluable when tourism is in full swing.) One might call the Free Range philosophy, Community Supported Food.

“If you’re gonna represent the community, you also have to cook with the season,” Wise says. “This whole farm-to-table thing has gotten out of context; it’s an abused term. You either go all the way or you don’t.”

Wise understands the challenges — and rewards — well. Formerly the opening sous chef of Oak in Boulder (and a veteran of The Little Nell before that), Wise quit his post as butcher at Meat & Cheese Restaurant and Farm

Shop in Aspen last summer to ramp up production of Open Fire Catering with his wife, Erin. They outfitted a 20-foot trailer with a massive smoker and woodburning grill. Their MO: Source all food from local producers and cook exclusively over live fire. They catered about a dozen events at Roaring Fork Beer Company in Carbondale and more elsewhere. When they showed up to the farmers’ markets every Wednesday and Sunday, they had no menu planned.

“I just [asked]: What do you have?” Wise says. “That translated easily when I got called up by Robin and Steve.”

Boasting a combined 50 years in the hospitality industry, including a seven-year stint managing chef Charles Dale’s famed Renaissance in Aspen in the 1990s, the firsttime restaurateurs found Wise fairly easily.

“We’ve worked with James Beard award-winning chefs, Food & Wine Best New Chefs,” Steve Humble says. “Two of the five guys we talked to — one of them in the valley and the other in New York — said, ‘You should talk to [Wise].’ We saw eye to eye immediately.”

Road (formerly Cuvée World Bistro) just a stone’s throw from Midland Avenue was complete in less than two months, thanks to “solid guidance” by interiordesigner friend Michelle Lowe.

Awash in Colorado beetle-kill wood, old Chicago-style brick, sleek gray tones, and with dozens of industrial light-bulb fixtures dangling haphazardly throughout, the dining room and bar together seat 80 — spaciously. Another 50 seats are on the patio outside.

“Robin hung each one of these lights herself,” Humble says, “on exposed wooden beams from a ranch in Silt. We wanted to be responsible with the environment and sustainably modeled — [not] too fancy or high-end.”

Similarly, the menu is priced “deliberately.” Aspenites will find solace in appetizers at a modest $7 to $15 dollar; entrees, $16 to mid-$20s; choice steaks above that. And the wine! By the glass pours begin at $7 and many are $12-14; bottles begin at $25 — and it ain’t swill. Humble is proud of his reserve list, for which he convinced industry friends to part with rarities and older vintages or “library releases” without markup.

Wise and Humble agree that their concept in Aspen would be unsustainable, thanks to harsh seasonality, in-the-box expectations, and sky-high rents — never mind that open-fire cooking is prohibited by the city.

“It’s been fun,” Wise says, when I call for an update. “When you keep it loose and open, you can just riff.”

In fact, Wise tells me, Kennedy is by his side, making a batch of house vinegar using old bottles of Chardonnay.

“He took a piece of coal from the grill and put it in there so it’ll be char-donnay vinegar,” he exclaims. “Cool!”

Tomato-lovers, meanwhile, buckle up. The crimson fruits will be in high supply — along with Colorado sweet corn — come July.

From a seminar on “The Art of Tasting, Shaking, and Stirring Barrel-aged Tequilas” to the “Patrón the Summer” cocktail experience inside the Grand Tasting tent, one day of my Classic weekend will be dedicated to sipping fine tequila.

Sounds like I won’t be alone: “The thirst for handcrafted, ultra-premium tequila is thriving across the globe,” said Lee Applbaum, Global Chief Marketing Officer at Patrón Spirits.

“While many summer cocktails are traditionally created with white spirits such as vodka or rum, tequila has a versatile flavor profile that enhances those cocktails in a new way.

This summer, we took a close look at local cocktails and why they are so beloved by their communities, putting our Patrón spin on them around the globe.”

VOYAGES

DESTINATION | CALIFORNIA

COASTAL COOL

THE SONOMA COAST GETAWAY THERE IS NOTHING LIKE a drive down the Northern California coast.

The cliff-hugging, perpetually winding roads. The peek-a-boo-fog. The crashing, bigger-than-seems-possible waves. The other-worldly California condors. The screaming sea lions.

This magnificent Never Never Land defies time and attracts Peter Pans and Wendys each year from the world over to its mystical mountains and shores.

A trip to what is arguably the California coast’s most scenic county, Sonoma, also gives wine lovers a chance to visit many of the most currently heralded wine regions on Earth, including the cool climate Sonoma Coast AVA with its Fort Ross-Seaview-subappellation, along with the fertile Russian River Valley. Chardonnay and pinot noir from the Sonoma Coast grown in the coastal mountain ranges on rugged and, in most cases organic, vineyards are the talk of the wine cognoscenti.

The unique combination of wines, vines and seaside splendor inspired my wife and me to head out on a spring “Rockies to Russian River” road trip once the ski lifts closed in our home town of Aspen. The only question was where to bed down on our Pacific sojourn.

TIMBER COVE KARMA

After a bucket list stroll through the redwood forests of Humboldt County to the north, we made a sunset drive

down Highway 1 to Timber Cove Lodge, set on the cliffs of the Sonoma Coast near the town of Jenner. While we’d driven by the beautiful property many times on previous trips, we had heard it had been recently renovated. We were unprepared for what awaited.

With a design inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright circa 1963, and a seaside location straight out of an Ansel Adams print, Timber Cove has always been visually stunning. But time and the elements had taken their toll over the last half-century. It, to say the least, needed some work.

This past year, after the property was acquired by a pair of hotel adventurers, Michael Barry, the owner Ironwave Hospitality LLC, and Jens von Gierke, co-owner and operator of the hotel, a complete renovation of the entire hotel was completed from the bones up.

The design team, consisting of San Francisco-based architectural firm Gensler, along with celebrated Los Angeles-based design firm Novogratz, paid strict attention to maintaining the connection with the landscape by using an earth-tone color palette allowing the structure to seamlessly interact with its surroundings. Local artwork was installed throughout the interior and the dominating design elements relied heavily on redwood and stone to enhance the natural feel.

The result? Everything that was old

is now new again and the property is as welcoming as it ever was with an updated, contemporary twist.

The first thing visitors see as they veer off Highway 1 is a towering pole erected on a hill behind the lodge.

Designed by artist Beniamino Bufano, the Peace Statue Monument soars 93 feet above the cliffs, as an iconic symbol of beauty, spirit and tranquility. We knew we were in a place of karma.

We entered the large great room with a high, wood-trussed ceiling encompassing an ample living area that revolved around a wood-burning fireplace (not to mention an extremely appealing and well-stocked bar). Set off to the ocean side, the Cal-contemporary Coast Kitchen restaurant featured a cluster of comfortably tilted tables angled toward floor-to-ceiling windows that showcased the rocky coast.

This is a place where architecture and nature meld. The buildings are built into rocks that sit atop the alternately roiling and calm seas that surround the property on three sides.

A mile-long trail fronts the lodge and allows guests an opportunity to discover individual vista points and make them their own as they gaze out over the boundless Pacific.

The 46 completely redesigned rooms and suites have a clean, beach cottage feel with modern and retro pieces accenting the bright lines. There

are turntable record players in each room and guests can pull vinyl of their choice from a music library in the lobby. Records range from early ’60s cool jazz to the psychedelic sounds of the San Francisco Summer of Love. Very groovy.

While it would be tempting to check into the lodge and just hang for a week or so, the proximity to the vineyards, back roads and wineries of the Fort Ross-Seaview AVA beckon.

Hirsch Vineyards, Fort Ross, Flowers and Peay Vineyards are all up and over the hills and dales that make up the region. It can be 60 degrees and foggy on the coast and then 80 and sunny a mile away, around the next bend.

This may be the most dramatic wine region in California and the lodge at Timber Cove is the perfect place to experience it.

THE BIRDS AND BODEGA BAY

Speaking of the 1960s, if you saw it, you never forgot the power of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 thriller, “The Birds.”

This epic film was shot and took place just down the coast in the scenic and very bird-friendly town of Bodega Bay. We had to go.

The Bodega Bay Lodge is the westernmost outpost of the exceptionally welcoming Woodside Hotels family of inns that include wine-centric properties in both Napa (Napa Valley Lodge) and the Carmel Valley (Bernardus Lodge and Spa). It sits just south of the town of Bodega Bay and is a hop, skip and back-road jump from the Russian River Valley and Westside Road, arguably the Rodeo Drive of California pinot noir.

Not as rustic as Timber Cove, The Bodega Bay Lodge’s hotel experience is more traditional in scope. The Lodge vistas are more tranquil than energetic as it sits perched above a bird sanctuary and marsh that is a part of the Bay itself Eighty-three guest rooms are laid out in terraced buildings composed of local timber and natural stone that offer views stretching out over the marsh to

Timber Cove sits on a promontory surrounded on three sides by the roiling Pacific on the scenic Sonoma Coast.

the Pacific. Fishing boats head out the channel through the fog each morning as surfers ride the beach break just down the road from the hotel.

Golfers and spa lovers will find fairways, or solace, at the property.

Or both. The beachfront Robert Trent Jones Jr. Scottish-style links, the public course at “Links at Bodega Harbour” are a short stroll away. And the intimate spa provides a plethora of services, including a Cabernet Grape Seed Scrub. After tee time, a spa session and an afternoon swim in the infinity pool above the bay, the time is right for some coastal cuisine at Drakes, the casual but sophisticated dining room with the views of the bird sanctuary. Duck and Merry Edwards pinot anyone?

For us the highlight of the stay on the bay was an afternoon putting the fat tires of the hotel’s complimentary beach cruiser bikes on the sand on Doran State Park right down the hill. The low tide ride in the fresh Pacific breeze was a total California experience and one to which we will return.

The Bodega Bay Lodge provides wine country proximity, comfort and a complete Sonoma Coastal package of amenities. Far from cookie-cutter, the hotel keeps four beehives and a collection of owl houses on property.

It is truly “of ” Bodega Bay.

ASPEN WILL BE GOING off the hook this weekend as the annual Food & Wine Classic takes over downtown for three-plus days of seminars and tastings, parties and people-watching.

But Aspen isn’t the only game in town, nor is wine the only beverage to be consumed.

In fact, a recent tour of a few midvalley hotspots got us thinking “outside the bottle” — about how to escape the Classic crowds and hobnobbing wine scene for a wholly different experience.

And trust us, there is a lot to be enjoyed just down Highway 82 from our worldclass resort town. Yes, Basalt is buzzing these days; what

22

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

follows is just a sample of what our downvalley neighbors are serving up. Enjoy!

WOODY CREEK DISTILLERS There’s more to the farmto-table movement than what you’ll find in Aspen’s restaurants. At Woody Creek Distillers in Basalt, it’s a farmto-bottle movement, with locally grown potatoes being used to create the finest handcrafted spirits around.

“We have total control over our potato source,” says David Matthews, head distiller and vice president of operations for Woody Creek “They come out of the ground and right away the process is started.”

And what a process it has

Jun e 15 - Jun e 2 1 , 2017

been for the locally owned business. Woody Creek Distillers was established in 2013; in just three years, the company has grown exponentially.

But the crown jewel of Woody Creek’s portfolio has to be its distillery and tasting room, located in Basalt’s MidValley Design Center. Rustic yet modern, the tasting room invites visitors and locals to see how the distillery operates while also enjoying the fruits of those labors.

“We want people to come here and feel at home,” says tasting room manager Tracey Snow, noting that while there is no food service at the distillery, guests are welcome to bring

in their own cheese platters, dinners, or whatever takeout they like — or enjoy Food Truck Fridays throughout the summer.

“It’s a unique experience to see where the spirit in the cocktail you’re drinking is made.”

In fact, Woody Creek Distillers makes nearly everything inhouse — the spirits, the infused spirits, an array of bitters, syrups of all stripes, even its own tonic water.

“We like to think that we do more than just make spirits,” Snow says.

CONFLUENCE COFFEE There is no rule that imbibing experiences include alcohol.

In fact, grabbing a cup at Confluence Coffee will give you

CAPITOL CREEK BREWERY 371 Market Street, Basalt 970.279.5723 www.capitolcreekbrewery.com

IT’S A CLASSIC

a buzz of a different kind.

“What we’re doing here is different than anywhere else in the valley, or even most of Colorado,” says Jeremi Kentz, a Roaring Fork Valley native who recently returned to his hometown and opened Confluence Coffee in downtown Basalt. “We’re on the cutting edge, ahead of the curve, when it comes to coffee.”

Pull up a chair in the rustic yet sleek community gathering place — and spend a few moments talking java with Jeremi — and you get the message: This is no ordinary coffeeshop.

At Confluence, the meticulous coffee bean selection methods, high-tech roasting processes,

state-of-the-art machinery — all blended with a passion for coffee that goes beyond the norm give Basalt an edgy vibe.

“We want to share the joy of real, good coffee with the valley,” Krentz says. “And now in the midvalley is the perfect time and place to do this.”

CAPTITOL CREEK BREWERY There is no shortage of craft breweries in the Roaring Fork Valley. Aspen is home to the uber-popular Aspen Brewing Co.; Carbondale’s Roaring Fork Brewing Co. continues to grow its operations; and Glenwood Canyon Brewing Co. never fails to garner accoldes and awards.

But the true midvalley — Basalt, specifically — seemed to have

missed out on the movement ...until this year.

“It’s a no-brainer of a concept,” Bill Johnson said in an interview with The Aspen Times before opening Capitol Creek Brewery at Willits. “My thought is, I can’t believe somebody didn’t beat me to it.”

Now, with the brewpub open for business, Johnson and partners are starting to build Capitol Creek’s reputation as yet another place worth checking out while downvalley.

“All of our beers are brewed in-house by our brewmaster, Jerod Day,” notes the brewery’s website. “We will keep a variety of beers on tap for every type of beer connoisseur.”

Yes, the Basalt buzz continues.

While Basalt and the midvalley are definitely booming, the Food & Wine Classic at Aspen remains the standard by which all food and wine festivals are measured. This is true, in part, because the event is about far more than food and wine. Beer, spirits and other creative cocktails have become a staple of the weekend, with seminars and booths in the tasting tent designed to please all palates. Here are the events we’re most looking forward to at the 2017 Classic: Battle Royale: Sake vs. Wine Friday, 2 to 2:45 p.m.

Saturday, 2 to 2:45 p.m.

Speakers: Monica Samuels, Josh Wesson Tequila Patrón Presents: The Art of Tasting, Shaking, and Stirring Barrel-aged Tequilas Friday, 2 to 2:45 p.m.

Speakers: David Alan, Chris Spake In addition, the Grand Tasting tent and parties around town will feature cocktails and beers from such purveyors as Stella Artois, Monkey 47 gin, Breckenridge Distillery, Glenlivet and many more.

The SOCIAL SIDE of TOWN

ASPEN PHOTO CHALLENGE

MAY SELBY

OVER A TWO-WEEK period this spring, from May 27 to June 10, you may have crossed paths with a number of shutterbugs who were out and about, traipsing up and down the valley capturing outdoor images. This was all part and parcel to the second annual Aspen Photo Challenge, presented by the Aspen Chamber Resort Association with media partner Outside Magazine. The 16 participating photographers were asked to snap and submit five images in three categories (15 total), shot during the given time frame in Aspen and the environs.

Participating photographers include the following: Seth Beckton, Dirk Braun, Chris Council, David Clifford, Jordan Curet, Ross Daniels, Jeremy Joseph, Robert

Millman, Ben Moscona, Shawn O’Connor, Devin Pool, Matt Power, Jeremy Swanson, Craig Turpin, Draper White and Kristin Wright.

Judges for this year’s competition were Andrea Wallace, photo director at Anderson Ranch Arts Center, renowned photographer and visual storyteller Peter McBride, and Jakob Schiller, associate editor at Outside Magazine.

The awards ceremony and presentation party took place on the evening of Sunday, June 11, at the Wheeler Opera House.

The free event was open to one and all with complimentary beer and cocktails provided by Aspen Brewing Co. and Woody Creek Distillers. Results were announced as follows: Landscape winner: Devin Pool; Motion winner: Jeremy

Swanson; Best image: Jeremy Joseph; Peer favorite: Devin Pool.

There’s still an award to be determined: the Crowd Favorite. The online contest launched on Monday, June 12, at www. aspenchamber.org/aspenphotochallenge and runs through June 26. The public is invited to vote for their favorite image every day, once a day until then, when the winning image/photographer will be announced on ACRA’s social media channels (@AspenCo — Twitter and Instagram) and @VisitAspen (Facebook) on June 27.

MARGOT LEE SHETTERLY’S ‘HIDDEN’ HISTORY ‘HIDDEN FIGURES’ AUTHOR TO SPEAK AT ASPEN WORDS SUMMER BENEFIT IN HER FIRST BOOK, Margot Lee Shetterly has done what every nonfiction writer dreams of doing. With “Hidden Figures,” she’s reshaped the understanding of American history by illuminating the overlooked stories of the black women mathematicians who helped put a man on the moon.

Long-overlooked women like Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson and Christine Darden — who worked for NASA as “computers” at Langley Research Center — have been celebrated as heroes since “Hidden Figures” was published last year.

The book became a No. 1 New York Times bestseller and the basis of an Oscarnominated blockbuster.

Shetterly, who will speak at Aspen Words Sumer Benefit on June 21, was living in Mexico and editing the expat-focused Inside Mexico magazine seven years ago when she began researching what would become “Hidden Figures.” A native of Hampton, Virginia, she grew up around Langley and the groundbreaking women who had bucked discrimination and racism in the still-segregated south. She wantd to know more about who they were and what they did.

“When I stared writing this book, it was the book that I wanted to read,” she told me in a recent phone interview.

She began by interviewing retired NASA mathematician Kathleen Land and soon found herself poring over personnel files and local newspapers to piece together a portrait of who was at Langley and what impact that

had on the space race.

Over her six years of exhaustive research on “Hidden Figures,” Shetterley found more hidden American history she hopes to share.

For her next book, she’s returning to the middle 20th century to tell the story of the black Baltimore venture capitalist Willie Adams and of the Murphy family, which ran the influential newspaper the Baltimore Afro-American.

ASPEN TIMES: How did you go about researching “Hidden Figures”?

MARGOT LEE SHETTERLY: The thing about doing something like this, even if you don’t know how to do it — which is certainly the case for me — is you just take the first step and see where it takes you. Everything that I found led to something else. And every time I found any kind of clue, I’d say, ‘Where is this going to take me? Where can I go after that?’ So it was just following the filaments of the story.

It was like unraveling a mystery or going on an archaeological dig. There was enough information for seven books. So I needed to be disciplined about the story that I wanted to tell, and that need to be told, that was the hard part for me. But also the exhilarating part.

AT: Growing up in Hampton, you knew part of this story of the women at Langley. But what surprised you as you dug deeper?

MLS: The sheer numbers of women involved in this, and also

F

Jun e 15 - Jun e 2 1 , 2017

figuring out the story that happened there in my hometown, which surprised me. What really surprised me was uncovering name after name after name of these women, this core group of black women. And they were part of this larger group of women from all backgrounds working on truly important projects that advanced the knowledge of aeronautics and the space program. Truly, it completely overturned the idea that women are not good at math.

AT: Every page of the book has such amazing, granular atmospheric detail — it reads like a page-turning novel.

How did you think about style? How did you find so much detail?

MLS: If I wrote an academic history book, chances are it wouldn’t find as broad an audience and it wouldn’t be a book that I wanted to read.

Again, this was really about me wanting to write the book that I wanted to read — I wanted the kind of narrative nonfiction where you can’t wait to get back to the book because the story is so good and you can’t believe that it’s real. And it was important to, as much as possible, take readers inside the world of these women, to put the reader on their shoulders so that you could see what they were seeing. I spent so much time in the interviews asking over and over ‘Do you remember how you felt?’ Or asking their kids, ‘What did your mother say to you about this?’ And looking at photographs — I’d look at photographs for hours, just studying what people wore and what their

offices looked like. And looking at phone books and floor plans, figuring out who sat next to whom.

AT: Were you pleased with the film adaptation?

MLS: I was thrilled. It’s an interesting process, seeing up close that you can’t take a nonfiction book and literally translate it onto the big screen. You have to take liberties, conflate characters, truncate storylines and add things that will make a narrative interesting and captivate people for two hours in a dark room. There were times I was like, ‘This is wrong! You have to change it,’ and they were right not to. There were times I said, ‘We have to get this particular thing right, it’s really important,’ and they listened. I think the film is great. Even now, watching the movie brings me to tears.

AT: It also brought the story to audiences who couldn’t read the book, like young kids – there’s now a generation of inspired little girls who found heroes in Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson.

MLS: I’ve been stunned at the reception of kids and young kids who have gone to see it five or six time and are telling their parents, ‘I want to be like Dorothy Vaughan!’ Kids from all backgrounds.

The movie is so powerful.

As well-received as the book may be, there’s nothing like a movie to put it on steroids and extend the message of the story and these women.

It’s been remarkable.

BOOK REVIEW

‘CORK DORK’

NOTEWORTHY

SOMMELIER is a simple yet mysterious job title. The most basic translation from the French might be wine expert, but then how exactly does one attain that status?

Bianca Bosker decided to find out in “Cork Dork,” a journey that reads like a wine lover’s equivalent of Dante’s “The Divine Comedy”: There is paradise, but only after glimpses of purgatory and hell.

Bosker, formerly a tech writer, decides to seek certification from the Court of Master Sommeliers, which administers a series of hugely demanding tests designed for people already in the restaurant and hotel trade.

Bosker started from scratch, as a wine novice.

The result is a funny, thought-provoking and at times frightening look at the sublime tastes, enormous egos and curious rules of a profession that is both insanely rigorous and occasionally ridiculous. Why, for example, are sommeliers supposed to identify wine in blind tastings? We don’t ask food critics to score restaurants blindfolded.

Bosker explores such issues head on, noting that world-class sommeliers can

“Cork Dork” Bianca Bosker Penguin, 2017 239 pages, hardcover

seem oblivious to legitimate questions about what they do. “It was like the wine world was stuck in a giant game of telephone, and the message had become an indecipherable mess,” Bosker writes of blind tasting groups.

One critic confesses to using the word “quince” to describe aromas, because no one knows what a quince is, and the word sounds fancy. Bosker laments that at times sommeliers recommend very expensive wines without having tasted them, because “others recommended them to us.”

Yet amid all the steely-eyed reporting, “Cork Dork” still radiates the joy of experiencing new tastes and awe at the seemingly endless range of flavors that emerge from what begins as only grape juice. The sommeliers that Bosker falls in with work incredibly hard and are truly obsessed with wine and grapes, down to minute, arcane details. That passion, in the end, is a good thing, and worthy of respect.

Wine is intimidating. A good sommelier can help beginners find their way, or lead experts to new experiences. Bosker does that as a writer, too, with an honest, appealing voice that

echoes the standard that master sommeliers strive for: quietly confident but not arrogant.

“Cork Dork” also has an enjoyable sprinkling of science, from psychology to brain scans of people as they drink wine. As her own tastes evolve, Bosker gives readers the equivalent of a “Kitchen Confidential” tour inside New York City’s wine world, and that alone is worth the price of the book.

Forget wine jargon: the psychology of sizing up customers is part of being a master sommelier. In other words, don’t offer cheap bottles to obviously wealthy customers, and don’t spend too much time with novices, if other tables wait on a busy night.

You may or may not want to become a sommelier after reading “Cork Dork,” but either way readers can be thankful. Bosker takes us on a quirky, perilous and sometimes beautiful tour of a world few will ever experience.
