THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION
by ANDREW TRAVERS
ART IT’S BEEN HALF A CENTURY
since Paul Soldner took over an aged ranch in the Brush Creek Valley and started the artists’ co-op that would become the Anderson Ranch Arts Center (in the area that would become Snowmass Village). Anderson Ranch is celebrating its 50th all summer, but the week of July 17-22 is its apex — with daily and nightly events including art openings, talks by luminaries of the art world, and some live music to boot. Everybody’s invited. Free and open to the public events include an open studio session with the great Tom Sachs (July 18), the revelation of a 50th anniversary print by painter Simon Haas created on-site, a talk by painters Fred Tomaselli and Tom Burckhardt (July 19) and presentations by Tom Ford’s Domenico and Eleanore De Sole (July 20) and National Artist Award Honoree Carrie Mae Weems (July 21). The big week wraps up with a free concert by Jamestown Revival on Fanny Hill on Friday, July 22. While you’re there, check out the Ranch’s exhibition on the Snowmass Village Mall and Joshua Davis’ interactive art mural. “The whole summer is wrapped with a golden bow and within the summer is a very special week, which is our 50th anniversary week,” said the Ranch’s executive director Nancy Wilhelms. “It contains something for everyone.” Ticketed events include a banquet with Carrie Mae Weems (July 19) and the annual Recognition Dinner benefit (July 21). More information at www.andersonranch.org
Anderson Ranch Arts Center’s 50th anniversary celebration runs from July 17-22 in Snowmass Village.
CURRENTEVENTS THEATER The Django Festival Allstars return to Aspen for four shows at the JAS Café at the Little Nell on July 20 and 21. “Dear Edwina” opens July 15 at Theatre Aspen and runs through Aug. 13.
IT’S THE KIDS’ TURN AT THEATRE ASPEN. The company opens the third show of its summer season, “Dear Edwina,” on July 15. The young people’s musical runs through Aug. 13 at the Hurst Theatre in Rio Grande Park. The show, created by the same team that brought us last year’s Theatre Aspen production “Junie B. Jones,” “Dear Edwina” follows the adventures of a plucky 13-year-old problem solver — Edwina Spoonapple — who dishes out advice to her friends in a weekly “Advice-A-Palooza.” “Dear Edwina” is recommended for audiences 4 and up. Tickets are available at the Hurst Theatre box office and www.theatreaspen.org.
POPULAR MUSIC THE DJANGO FESTIVAL ALLSTARS return to the JAS Café for the third year in a row for four shows running July 20 and 21 at the Little Nell. This renowned collection of French players bring to life the swinging, gypsy jazz spirit of the great Jazz Age guitarist Django Reinhardt. They’re making a run across the U.S. this summer on stages including the Newport Jazz Festival, so Jazz Aspen Snowmass decided to bring these local favorites back to town. “They’ve become a favorite artist here,” says Jazz Aspen president Jim Horowitz. “They have connected here in a big way.” Shows begin nightly at 7 p.m. and 9:15 p.m. Tickets are $40, and are available at www.jazzaspensnowmass.org.

PICNIC PERFECT
1982 ASPEN
“TOOT! TOOT! EVERYBODY IS GOING UP ON SUNDAY!” proclaimed the Aspen Democrat-Times on August 29, 1924. “All set for the Big Basket Picnic On Top of the World Sunday! Glenwood is coming strong and Carbondale will send a big bunch of Boosters. Many more will come from all down the valley. Leadville is coming over to help celebrate. Celebrate what? Why the opening of the Independence Pass Highway to auto traffic. It is to be the biggest picnic ever held in Colorado, and it is to be held on top of the Continental Divide where east meets west — On Top of the World. The Hot Coffee committee is working and plenty of coffee will be ready to dish out to the thirsty. All car owners are requested to be at the Jerome at 8:30 Sunday morning and be prepared to start for the top at 9 sharp. All those who are ‘carless’ and want to go, should also be at the hotel and the transportation committee will find a seat for you in some car. Everybody’s going! Go yourself!” This photo and more can be found in the Aspen Historical Society archives at aspenhistory.org.

GEAR of the WEEK
by STEPHEN REGENOLD
PACK IT UP: RED OXX MANUFACTURING
IN 1986, Red Oxx Manufacturing made its first products from decommissioned military-surplus webbing. It was burly stuff, the kind of material that could last for decades and, despite being destined for destruction, the company thought it needed to see new life. Today, the Montana-based bag and luggage maker continues to cut a unique path. Its gear remains burly, almost clunky in cases, including extra-thick nylon, oversize zippers, stainless steel rings, reinforced stitching, and funny monkeyknot pulls that adorn zippers with a spherical head of cord. Made in America, in a facility in Montana, and with the backbone of a military ethos that comes from a veteran-owned brand, perhaps some overcompensation is expected. You pay for it, certainly, with prices that start north of $200 for many of the bags. But you get a lifetime warranty, solid design, and construction that I’ve seen first-hand will last. Indeed, I got a bag from Red Oxx more than a decade ago. My dad later
GET IT www.redoxx.com
adopted it as a do-all hauler, and, last I checked, despite a lot of abuse, the bag looked mostly like new. This month, the company shipped me a newer product, the Big Bull Roll-Up, to put to a test. The bag is a strange beast, a pocket-adorned duffel built for situations as varying as TSA airport checkpoints to archeology field work. Another use pegs it for 4x4 truck “overlanders” in need of a soft-side tool organizer that drapes over a seat-back. I filled mine up with camping gear. My test was a weekend at a cabin with odds and ends, from headlamps to bug repellent products to knives. The Big Bull Roll-Up functioned as a mega organizer, its see-through pockets — six in total, each accessed by a big-tooth zipper — giving
enough capacity for all the small and mid-size gear I needed to take. Made of a thick ballistic nylon, the bag measures about 20 x 8 x 8 when rolled up, making it usable as an airplane carry-on. The pockets are accessed by unfurling the duffel, with two big buckles unclasping to let it roll flat. You then get a big palette of exposed pockets, everything easy to grab. No digging required, and because of the mesh used for the pockets everything you pack is immediately visible and in reach. On the outside, a briefcase handle offers a grip. The bag’s main strap, which clips with metal buckles to metal V-rings, has a rubber section that sticks on your shoulder.
In the end, the Big Bull RollUp is a neat idea, but it costs too much. At $285, I found this price tag hard to justify, despite the made-in-Montana bag’s double stitching, stainless steel pieces, thick fabrics, and lifetime warranty. The product works as advertised, a one-of-a-kind rugged, rollable compartmentalized duffel. Maybe you have a direct need for this level of organization in the outdoors or for work. Check out Red Oxx as a brand if nothing else, its line ranges from specialized to general-use, each product built to last for years. Stephen Regenold writes about outdoors gear at www.gearjunkie.com.

WINEINK
PLANNING A TRIP TO WINE COUNTRY THERE ARE FEW THINGS better than planning a trip to wine country. Sometimes the planning is almost as great as the trip since the anticipation can be as intoxicating as the wine when you get there. OK, perhaps an exaggeration, but still… Anyway, here are a few things to consider if you are of a mind to hop a flight this fall to wine country.
KELLY J. HAYES
PICK A PLACE Begin with what your time and budget dictates. Of course, the Holy Grail of wine country travel is assuredly France with Burgundy, Bordeaux and Champagne being the must-see regions. But there are other places in Europe — think Piedmonte in Italy or Priorat in Spain — that encourage off-thebeaten-path whimsy. Think about what kind of wines you like and then visit the places where they are made. It doesn’t get much simpler than that.
CALL SOME WINERIES Once you have a region in mind, do a little research. Just about every winery in the world is online these days and all, well most all of them, would love to see your face at their cellar door. This may not be the case with, say, the first growths in Bordeaux but for the most part you’ll find if you do a little research on the wineries you’d like to visit, send an email or call ahead, there will be a warmer welcome when you arrive.
GET A DESIGNATED DRIVER. If you plan on visiting a number of wineries, always figure out your transportation in advance. The worst potential ending to a great day tasting wine is to see the little red lights in the rearview mirror. Actually there is a worse outcome, but we won’t go there. As strict as U.S. laws are about driving under the influence, European laws are, for the most part, even stricter. It is reality. The only place worse than a jail in Napa is a jail in, say, Sicily. Get a driver.

Jul y 14 - Jul y 20, 2016
DON’T TRY TO DO TOO MUCH The thing about wine tasting is that it should be stress-free. People have a tendency to schedule too much in too short of a time. I think that the perfect number of winery visits in a day is three. Two before lunch, and one after. Less is more when it comes to a great day of wine tourism.
SPIT There, I said it. Even if you are not “that guy,” a full day at three or four wineries is going to test your resolve and sobriety. Tasting is not an excuse for inebriation, rather it is an opportunity to sample and learn as you go. Swallowing instead of spitting will diminish that opportunity.
GET INTO THE VINEYARDS Wine country is about the wine and the wine comes from the vines…so get out amongst them. Look at the grapes and see the color. Check out the canopy, or the way the leaves are pruned. Is the canopy thin to let in sunshine, or is it thick to shield the grapes? Check out the vines. Are they thick and gnarly or are they thin, young and growing? The vines are where it all starts. You’ll only see them when you are in wine country so take advantage.
GET DIRTY When you are in the vineyards, pick up a little dirt. Some vineyards are rocky while others are chalky. Get a feel for what the place feels like. Next time you buy a bottle of wine from that vineyard you’ll remember what the soil that nurtured that wine felt like in your hands.
STAY IN THE VINEYARDS One of the joys of being on a wine country trip is seeing the sun set over the vines or watching the moon rise. It’s hearing the birds and watching the grapes ripple in a warm breeze. Try to find an inthe-vineyard accommodation to get the most out of your wine country travel. I’d pick a B&B with an acre of vines over a Four Seasons with a spa any day. It’s a wine trip after all.
Less is more when it comes to touring wineries; two to three stops in a day is perfect.
MAKE RESERVATIONS As wine country travel has become more sophisticated, so too have the culinary opportunities along the way. Wine country can get pretty busy at the better restaurants so it is to your advantage to book your dining plans early.
PLAN NOW If you want to take a wine country trip this is the week to begin making your plans. I assure you, you will have a wonderful time. Kelly J. Hayes lives in the soon-to-be-designated appellation of Old Snowmass with his wife, Linda, and black Lab named Vino. He can be reached at malibukj@aol.com.
UNDER THE INFLUENCE CHATEAU STE. MICHELLE 2014 EROICA RIESLING You could always stay stateside for that wine excursion and go to Washington State for a little riesling. Woodinville, home of Chateau Ste. Michelle, is beautiful in the fall, as is a glass of Eroica. A collaboration of two of the greatest riesling makers, Dr. Ernst Loosen of Germany and CSM (as some refer to the Chateau), this wine offers a hint of sweetness and a basket of lovely fruits. Limes, oranges, kiwi all are referenced in this pure mineral-laden riesling. Outstanding by itself, it may be even better with a plate of well-spiced Asian food. A trip in a glass.

AMAZON PRIME
SEEING THE RAINFOREST FOR THE FOOD
IMAGINE A MEAL where every morsel includes either an ingredient that sounds vaguely familiar but which you can’t quite picture in its raw state or one that is new entirely: macambo, casaba, yuca, açaí, memepa, jiquitaia chile, tucupi preto. These foods, drawn from the 13 countries that share the Amazon rainforest in South America, AMANDA represent more than RAE novelty to foreign palates, though. As chefs, producers, and activists in this region believe, gastronomy can help save the rainforest. This is why four top toques from Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru came to town recently: to share cuisine of the Amazon through “Cumari: From Rainforest to Table,” a benefit dinner hosted at the Cooking School of Aspen, and to participate in talks and tastings during the Aspen Ideas Festival Spotlight on Health. “Cumari means, in Portugese, the happiness of the taste,” noted Brazilian chef Paulo Machado, explaining the title, taken from the name of a piquant Amazonian pepper. “It gives you pleasure.” The Amazon is home to more than 40,000 species of plants, at least 3,000 species of fish, and another 3,000 kinds of fruit. By introducing diners around the world to this vast “Amazon pantry” of nutritious rainforest ingredients—harvested sustainably to support local diets and livelihoods, these award-winning, respected chefs (ambassadors, really) and nonprofit advocacy and research groups such as Forest Trends and Canopy Bridge are turning food production into a tool for forest protection, cultural preservation, and community empowerment. Their work also serves as an important PSA for improving nutrition and creating sustainable global supply chains for

Amazonian products. “This could be the cuisine of the future,” explained chef Machado, founder of the Paulo Machado Institute for gastronomy research in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, and winner of Brazil’s 2015 Dólmã Prize for his work advancing the country’s cuisine through stints in France, Ethiopia, Thailand, China, and Peru. In showcasing biodiversity through indigenous foods, these superstar Latin American chefs are sounding an alarm on the Amazon’s rapid deforestation, much of it, ironically, a result of large-scale beef cattle operations, cocoa plantations, and vast acreage of soybeans and oil palm. At risk is water and land in the fertile Amazon, which the entire world depends on for its carbon-trapping forests to help mitigate the climate change crisis. During the event’s cocktail hour, the school’s open kitchen was a flurry of movement and conversation as chefs dished out appetizers and fielded questions from some 50 guests in attendance. Machado scooped up spicy crabmeat with roasted manioc flour and pequi oil (find a primer on Amazon ingredients, opposite). Alongside him, Lima-based chef Pedro Miguel Schiaffino (chefowner of ámaZ and Malabar) carefully spooned ripe plantain with garlic, mint, and edible flowers into delicate fermented plantain shells. “Plantain taco,” he quipped. Meanwhile, chef Kamilla Seidler was busy pan-frying a Bolivian street-food specialty: cheesy toasted yuca cakes the size of silver dollars, sprinkled with pink peppercorns. One woman draining a caipirinha—Brazil’s national cocktail, made with the country’s MVP spirit, cachaça—marveled at the cake’s fluffy, creamy texture with subtle tongue-tingling spice. Other folks tried an array of colorful condiments tentatively— lemongrass-scented Brazilian ants, included. The sit-down dinner that
followed was a parade of plates, each prefaced by a personal story told by their chef-creator as guests munched on chewy breads and crispy crackers made from rice and tapioca flours. Chef Schiaffino presented duck breast with fermented palm fruit and sticky Brazilian rice made from cassava root. The high-protein macambo nuts on top, he told us, are a relative of the coffee bean— affectionately called “monkey brain” due to their shape and texture. Chef Machado—a pioneer of modern Amazon cooking for 13 years—used a centuries-old technique to smoke river fish: he wrapped it in a banana leaf. Seidler’s artful vegan rendition of a classic Bolivian dish—amaranth “caviar” with açaí, and Brazil nut in a pool of warmed Brazil nut milk (fun fact: Bolivia is the largest producer of Brazil nuts)—was inspired by Madidi National Park, the most biodiverse place on earth. “There are a lot of logistical issues that need to be solved, but we’re trying,” said Seidler, who moved to Bolivia four years ago from her native Copenhagen to help build a culinary school. Now she’s executive chef at Gustu, a La
Paz restaurant opened in 2013 by Noma cofounder Claus Meyer and his Melting Pot Foundation. “We wanted to try to do the Nordic food movement in a developing country, to see if it can be a model,” she continued. “In the municipality of La Paz you can drive 20 minutes and be in the jungle. When you go into a community, sit and talk with them, and make them realize that what they have is a treasure—all of these things need to be taken care of, but in a sustainable, organized way— we can close the circle by working together.” Mara Salles, chef of Tordesilhas in São Paulo, Brazil, for 25 years, capped the meal with passion fruit compote, cassava cream, amazón cacao, and drizzled with syrup infused with jambu, an herb known for imparting a mouth-numbing sensation. “To preserve the Amazon is to preserve our inspiration, our knowledge,” Salles said. “Using whole ingredients is important. And death has to be worthwhile— whether fruit or an animal.” Interest in food from this region is growing—Food Industry Trends reported in February that Latin

American food is the second fastest growing segment of “ethnic food,” based on a National Restaurant Association survey of 1,600 professional chefs. Advocates say that education about this cuisine and culture is key—concerned citizens might consider planning a trip far south to support the restaurants that are putting this concept into practice. “These chefs are a window into nutrition…these restaurants are incubators for using these ingredients to broader markets,” said Michael Jenkins, president and CEO of Forest Trends. About the Amazon, he added, “It’s like nature’s richest pantry opened its doors.” Even the chefs’ Spanish cue for diners to dig in—buen provecho!—reinforced the point of the Cumari dinner. Though equivalent to bon appétit! the exclamation translates as, “to good benefit.”

RAINFOREST FOOD 101 AÇAÍ: A reddish-purple berry stabilizing after the boom and bust of its “superfood” fad in consumer countries outside of Latin America.
JAMBU: An Amazonian herb that gives Cachaça de Jambú, an infused sugarcane spirit, its characteristic numbing sensation.
AMARANTH: An ancient grain, closely related to quinoa, capable of growing in harsh, high-plateau Altiplano regions of the Bolivian and Peruvian Andes. Important to indigenous communities, it’s often prepared as “caviar.”
MACAMBO NUTS: Brain-shaped seeds that grow inside large golden pods found hanging from trees deep in the Peruvian Amazon. A lesser-known cousin to cacao, the high-protein, high-fiber macambo nuts hit US shelves for the first time in late-2014.
CASABA: A mildly sweet melon with cucumber-like flavor and pale green flesh; relative to honeydew.
PEQUI OIL: Extracted from the Brazilian pequi fruit plant (consumed more widely there than Brazil nuts, which are grown in Bolivia), this pale-yellow oil is popular for cooking, as well as in cosmetic applications.
CASSAVA, MANIOC, YUCA*: A starchy root vegetable boasting some 1,000-plus varieties, ubiquitous throughout the Amazon basin but prepared very differently from country to country. An essential source of carbohydrates in regional diets since long before the arrival or Europeans. Great for communities living without refrigeration because it may be stored underground as a live tuber. *not to be confused with yucca, the ornamental plants.
TUCUPI PRETO: Also known as ají negro, a condiment derived from reduced cassava juice.

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS
BY JEANNE MCGOVERN
MAKE IT 3 ounces vodka or gin 6 ounces grapefruit juice, fresh squeezed preferable Salt to rim the glass Lemon wedges
SALTY DOG
Rub the lemon along the rim of the glass, then salt rim. Combine vodka and grapefruit in a shaker with ice. Shake until cold. Pour grapefruit and vodka mixture in the glass. Can be served on the rocks or up.
In compiling this week’s cover story on summer cocktails — and the best places to enjoy them in Aspen — it occurred to me just how fast summer is flying by. That got me thinking about what National Drink Days I have missed (Gin Day was June 11, by the way) and what National Drink Days are still ahead (mark your calendars for National Rum Day on Aug. 16). But what really caught my eye fell under the “Almost National Drink Days” category: National Dog Day. Were they talking canines? Hot dogs? No, the folks at Mixology Diary were thinking: “How about a Salty Dog, Greyhound, or Hair of the Dog?” I personally appreciate them all. But a good Salty Dog, crafted with a top-shelf vodka and fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice, served icy cold in a salt-rimmed glass just screams summer on the beach to me. It’s a holiday I’ll happily toast come Aug. 26. Who’s with me? LIBATIONS WAS CREATED BY BELOVED ASPEN TIMES PUBLISHER GUNILLA ASHER, WHO DIED JUNE 2, 2014, AFTER A BRAVE BATTLE WITH CANCER.

Meet the wonderful Jamari. Jamari is a one-year-old yellow lab mix who is blind and sweet as can be. The doctor does think he may see shadows but Jamari gets around well and you would not know he is blind. He responds well to his name and is friendly to everyone and quite trusting with no fear. He is just a lovebug. Being a one year old lab/husky he needs plenty of exercise and needs some training and structure but he is eager to learn. He does quite well in new situations and he gets along fine with other dogs however, we don’t like to surprise him with kids running up and dogs jumping on him due to his vision. If you can be Jamari’s special person who will help him thrive, please fill out an application at luckydayrescue.org. 970-618-3662. LUCKY DAY ANIMAL RESCUE OF COLORADO

FROM ASPEN, WITH LOVE
ASPEN UNTUCKED
by BARBARA PLATTS
Be on the lookout: Barb is back in the running game.
BORN TO RUN...AGAIN FINDING THAT RUNNING HIGH
IT MAY COME AS A SURPRISE to read this, particularly if you have seen my healthy physique as of late, but I used to be a huge runner. That was my sport. No matter the day, no matter the weather, I wanted to be outside on a run. Away from the details of everyday life, running was something that always calmed my anxieties and upped my spirits. I took that hobby and held it dear. BARBARA It was personal time, me PLATTS time, my happy place. Running became a hobby of mine in high school and grew into an addiction of sorts in college. I signed up for all kinds of races and even spent a summer in Carbondale interning for Trail Runner Magazine. My goal was always to run a marathon, but about a month before I got there, I injured myself in a halfmarathon. Shortly after that I hiked Kilimanjaro as my college graduation present. I was not fully healed at the time and the downhill from that massive peak only made my injury worse. Only a week or so later, I landed in Aspen and started working. I arrived in town at the beginning of the 2012-13 ski season. I got into physical therapy to help heal my injury so I could ski as often as possible. My plan was to get back

into running that spring. But, as I’ve said numerous times in previous columns, the athletic scene in this town is highly intimidating. Just when you start feeling proud about an athletic feat you’ve accomplished you will find out that someone else has done it two or three times in a row blindfolded...when they were five years old, most likely. I was discouraged by everyone else’s inhuman like endurance and decided to invest my time in the social scene instead, trading my sprinting for shots of tequila. I figured, if I couldn’t keep up on the trail, I would find other ways to be involved. Needless to say, my passion for running fell by the wayside fast. Running has never been easy for me. Not even when I was running
daily. It’s always, every single time, a struggle to get into. But being able to see what my body can do, despite my mind constantly telling me no, is always so remarkable. I just keep putting one foot in front of the other, hoping that sooner or later it will come together as one fluid movement. Yes, it’s painful, no doubt. It’s almost similar to a shot of tequila — it hurts during and directly after, but the overall outcome soothes. After about three and a half years of lengthy hikes, strenuous powder days, hot yoga classes and a rather long stint at Pure Barre, which provided me with an ass that was borderline bootylicious, I finally realized that something was missing. I knew exactly what it was, but in
order for me to get back into my first addiction, I knew I needed a goal, something to reach for. With that in mind, I signed up for a half marathon. It takes place at the end of July in Estes Park. Since then, the running apps are back on my iPhone. My playlist has been taken over by top 40 hits to help with motivation during my runs. Blisters have collected on my feet again, from the arches to the tips of my toes. I can’t get a pedicure without horrifying the nail technician. My entire life seems to revolve around when to schedule my daily workout. Plus, my dog has learned to expect several miles daily and gets vocally upset with me when that expectation isn’t met. And the funny thing about all of this is I wouldn’t want it any other way. No, I’m not going to finish first in the half marathon, and I’m certain I’ll never be able to keep up on the trails with at least two-thirds of the residents in this town. But I’m coming to terms with that. If I’m going to run, I have to be able to do it for me and no one else (besides my pup). The race is two and a half weeks away…time to start praying. Plus, I should probably put the tequila away, at least for now. Barbara Platts isn’t actually that big of a tequila drinker. She just thought it compared well to running. She’s

VOYAGES
ESCAPE ARTIST | PERU
by FRANKLIN BRICENO for THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SHANTYTOWN TOURS OFFER DIFFERENT VIEW OF PERU SHACKS CLING PRECARIOUSLY to sandy hillsides. The flat roofs of board-and-tin hovels stretch as far as the eye can see on treeless moonscapes. Humble meals are served on battered plates. The sights and tastes of Lima’s huge shantytowns are not the standard fare of tourists, who are mostly drawn to Peru to see the majestic Incan citadel of Machu Picchu or sample the country’s renowned cuisine. Yet for a few travelers, the slums are precisely why they come: to experience the other side of this diverse Andean nation. “We didn’t know there were areas like this,” said Ashok Arasu, an Australian doctor who along with his physician wife, Cherry Wu, was walking on one of the many misty, gray hills that hold slums in Lima, where a third of Peru’s population lives. “I saw something comparable once in Cambodia,” Arasu added. Arasu and Wu passed out notebooks, pencils and socks to warm the feet of the shantytown’s children amid
the cool, damp weather of the Southern Hemisphere’s winter. Sometimes tourists bring medicines for the respiratory infections that affect children here, or they help paint houses. “I want to be just and honest with the visitors who come to get to know my country. Peru is a country full of ‘young towns,’” said Edwin Rojas, founder of Haku Tours, using the Peruvian term for the sprawling shantytowns that sprang up around Lima and other cities as people fled the countryside amid the brutal war with Shining Path and Tupac Amaru guerrillas. Rojas says his firm is the only travel agency that offers “shantytown tours,” along with more traditional historical and culinary tours of Lima. It takes about 400 tourists a year to the slums, in groups of two to six, at a cost of $45 a person. Participants sometimes visit slum markets or they eat meals with local families, sampling daily fare very different from the exquisite dishes served
in posh Lima restaurants and increasingly around the world. “More than a tour, it is an anthropological experience for foreigners to get to know the local people with mutual respect,” Rojas said. He is aware that similar slum tours in Rio de Janeiro, Mumbai, Nairobi and Johannesburg have been criticized as exploiting the poor, but says he has built ties with community leaders in Lima’s shantytowns. “What we do here is more sensitive because when we visit these communities we help the people and get to know the best of them,” he said.
TOP TO BOTTOM: British tourist Martin Carvey looks out at the landscape during a “shanty town tour” in the Villa Maria del Triunfo district on the outskirts of Lima; a resident carries his son in the Villa Maria del Triunfo district; the view from a van carrying U.S. tourists on a tour of a shanty town; Juliana Carvey, center left, and her husband Martin Carvey eat lunch in a local home, accompanied by two tour guides as part of their tour through a shanty town in the Villa Maria del Triunfo district on the outskirts of Lima, Peru. The tour to the shanty town itself costs $45.

IN THE MIX
WHAT’S COOL TO DRINK ON A HOT SUMMER’S DAY
If a hot toddy by a roaring fire is a hallmark of wintertime imbibing, fruity cocktails served al fresco are a true sign of the summer sipping season. “If I’m getting a drink outside — a drink that’s such a light shade of pink that it looks like there is sunlight coming right through the glass or one that’s served in a glass that has clearly been in the freezer for a few hours — I’m definitely on the path to being happy,” says Jacob Johnson, bar manager of Justice Snow’s. “Then, even more important than how the drink looks is how it tastes.” For Johnson, whose cocktail menu is one of the most extensive in town, success on this front lies in using locally sourced spirits and ingredients. “I’ll go out hiking and look at what plants and flowers are blooming at that moment,” he says. “Or what fruits are at their ripest.” In fact, Aspen’s cadre of cocktail gurus agrees that summer drinks are best when crafted with the freshest ingredients. “Fresh-squeezed citrus juice is a must in any summer cocktail,” says Adam Cohen, food and beverage director at the historic Hotel Jerome, whose signature Hendrick’s Squeeze marries fresh lemon juice with gin and mint leaves for a refreshing splash of summer (see recipe, facing page). “It just adds that mandatory brightness.” Indeed, blending fresh ingredients with the perfect choice of spirits is key to crafting seasonal favorites. “Creating the perfect cocktail is all about finding balance between the ingredients,” says Little Nell bar manager Ricardo Leyvas, whose summer drink menu includes such mouth-watering creations as the Elyx Piña Colada (Absolut Elyx vodka, pineapple juice, coconut cream) and the Aspen Cooler (Stranahan’s whiskey, Grand Marnier, lemon juice, Peychauds Bitters, muddled cherries). For Johnson, balance is about creating cocktails that are “pleasing to the palate and to the eye.” In summer, this often means crafting cocktails with clear spirits, as opposed to the darker, brown liquors that soothe the soul in winter. Jimmy’s Bodega owner and master mixologist Jimmy Yeager agrees. “Summer drinks should be lighter, fizzier, fruitier — they should be perfectly balanced in terms of spirit and mixer,” he says, adding that summer’s selection of lighter cocktails are born from a long history of low-alcohol beverages dating back to the use of bitters as a main ingredient.
“WE WORK HARD TO CRAFT SUMMER DRINKS THAT ARE WELL-BALANCED AND APPEALING. ... WE WANT OUR SUMMER TABLES TO BE FUN AND INVITING.” – JIMMY YEAGER, JIMMY’S BODEGA Today, bitters such as Aperol, Campari and Contratto are weaved into Jimmy’s summer drink menu in colorful offerings including a line of Classicos, four versions of the Americano and Jimmy’s Negroni. “We work hard to craft summer drinks that are well-balanced and appealing. … We want our summer tables to be fun and inviting,” he says. Indeed, it seems most local mixologists embrace summer’s festive yet laid-back vibe when crafting their specialty drinks. “At the St. Regis Aspen, our trick to making a great summer cocktail is to use the freshest ingredients possible and to take care when creating it for a guest,” says Brandon Harris, director of restaurants and bars. “Cocktails take the time to handcraft; a quality craft cocktail can take between six and eight minutes to prepare. Together, the fresh ingredients and the care put into each drink really come together to create the perfect summer experience.”

SUMMER SIPS BERRY PATCH From Ricard 1 1/2 oz. Avion Silver Tequila 1/2 oz. Citronage 1/2 oz. lime juice 3/4 oz. housemade strawberry puree 1/2 oz. housemade basil syrup Shake all ingredients, strain over ice. Top with thin slice strawberries. RASPBERRY CAIPIRINHA From Elk Camp Restaurant 1/2 lime, cut into thirds 1 teaspoon granulated sugar 2 ounces cachaca (Brazilian rum) 3 raspberries, plus more for garnish In a rocks glass, squeeze and drop the lime wedges into the glass. Add the sugar and raspberries and muddle together. Pour in the cachaca and add ice to fill and top up with soda. Garnish with a few raspberries. From poolside cocktails at the St. Regis (opposite page) to Classicos at Jimmy’s Bodega (above), local bartenders — like those at Justice Snow’s and the Viceroy Snowmass (left) — know how to mix up the perfect summertime sips.
And honestly, when it comes right down to it, the perfect summer cocktail really is about the experience. “To get the most out of a summer cocktail, we also suggest enjoying them outdoors,” Harris says. “The freshness of the Aspen air allows all of the senses to fully appreciate the complexity of the drink, thus creating the perfect summer experience.” Better yet, “Enjoying a cocktail poolside is an added bonus,” says the Nell’s Leyvas. Still, Justice Snow’s Johnson circles back to the ingredients and balance: “Everything is a little more laidback in summer, but we still want to be sure the consistency and quality are perfect. Everything must remain in balance.” And balance is a big part of the local summer vibe — pairing outdoor adventures with thirst-quenching drinks, or discovering that oh-so-perfect libations for lounging by the pool is part of the experience. And for Danielle Becker, food and beverage director for Viceroy Snowmass, finding the perfect cocktail to drink it all in with means following this simple mantra: “The perfect summer cocktail should define summer in our beautiful mountain towns,” she said. “It should be fresh, fun and ultimately intensely satisfying.” To achieve this, Becker and her team focus on blending and balancing spirits and supporting flavors to make the drinks at establishments like Eight K, Nest and Ricard stand out from your ordinary summertime staples. “We make sure all our summer cocktails are fun and satisfying by using fresh ingredients and putting a fun twist on the classics,” she said, pointing out new summer menu offerings like the Vitamin-B (lemon vodka, lemon juice, rose Champagne and muddled berries; see recipe on

this page) and the Lumberjack (Bonnie Rose Orange Peel whiskey, orange juice, lemonade and Dry Dock Trippel Beer). In fact, Snowmass Village’s summer bar scene is just as lively (if not more so at times) than its big sister Aspen. Don’t believe us? Take a tour: Just up the Skittles gondola from Becker’s stomping grounds, at the Westin Snowmass, interim general manager Lauren Goodman said her bar staff focuses on keeping the scene “peacefully invigorating” by crafting a cocktail menu that is uniquely local. “Revive yourself with a fresh selection of expertly mixed cocktails infused with natural ingredients and local flavors,” she said. When it comes to local flair, the place to be this summer is likely Elk Camp Restaurant at the top of the Elk Camp Gondola — especially on Tuesday nights, when its Farm to Table Dinners feature spirits from Woody Creek Distillery and Marble Distillery and suds from Roaring Fork Beer Co., Aspen Brewing Co. and more. Speaking of beer — and craft beer in particular — locals and visitors can get their summer drink on at Snowmass’ Ranger Station. Here, Fort Collins-based New Belgium Brewery beers take over 12 taps offering something for everyone, from stouts and wheat beers to seasonal specialties and tasting flights. But as the sun sets on a day spent hiking, biking, socializing or sunbathing, what’s in your glass is what matters most. “In the end, what’s important is making a drink that you crave while sitting on the sun-drenched patio enjoying all the incredible sights,” said the Viceroy’s Becker. “That’ s summer cocktailing to me.”
HENDRICK’S SQUEEZE From the Hotel Jerome 2 oz. Hendrick’s Gin, 1.25 oz. fresh lemon juice 1.5 oz. simple syrup 5-6 mint leaves 2 slices cucumber Garnish with lemon wheel and mint leaf. CUCUMBER MARGARITA From The Little Nell 2oz. suerte tequila 1oz. Cointreau .5oz. Lime juice .5 agave 2 cucumber slices Middle cucumber, mix all ingredients, shake and served over fresh ice.

PATIO PERFECT
THE BEST PLACES TO SOAK IN THE SUN There is nothing better on a summer afternoon than soaking up the sun on an outdoor patio. Picture it: You’ve just finished an adrenaline-pumping mountain-bike ride or an epic round of golf, and it’s time to relax. How better to do that than with a cold cocktail and some tasty snacks on the deck of a local restaurant overlooking the Rocky Mountain landscape that surrounds you? “Dining al fresco is the quintessential summer experience,” says Julia Theisen, vice president of sales and marketing for the Aspen Chamber Resort Association. Indeed, Aspen is home to dozens of restaurants and bars — many with outdoor patios that are perfect for summertime dining and imbibing. “Aspen offers an array of outdoor dining options, from the base of Aspen Mountain to our pedestrian malls or sitting upstairs with an elevated view,” Theisen says. “And there are enough culinary options to please any palate and budget while enjoying our perfect summer climate and refreshing mountain air.”
unobstructed view of Aspen Mountain where guests can enjoy both the sunrise and the sunset, all while enjoying the full service that the St. Regis Aspen is known for,” says director of restaurants and bars Brandon Harris. “Plus, the courtyard is cozy despite its size — it has the opportunity to be transformed into an intimate space for two, or for the soiree of the season.” • The Sky: When the planned renovation of the Sky Hotel was postponed at the end of winter, Aspenites breathed a collective sigh of relief, as one of the town’s hottest outdoor scenes will surely sizzle through summer. Grab a cocktail and drink it all in poolside at 39 Degrees while you can.
• Jimmy’s Bodega: Jimmy Yeager, proprietor of this popular downtown spot (and its sister restaurant Jimmy’s), sums up his philosophy on summertime dining and drinking like this: “Summer is fun. I want our patio to be the same — when you look across the tables, you should see a sea of bright colors and smiling faces.” Enough said. • The Mall: Anchored by Grey Lady and Justice Snow’s on one end and Escobar on the other, Hyman Avenue is transformed into one giant outdoor patio in summer. Bar hop — with stops at Hops Culture and Zocalito between the end points — for a picture perfect Sunday Funday, Aspen-style.
APRÉS ASPEN: WHERE TO INDULDGE AFTER THE DAY’S ADVENTURE So with this in mind, we offer you this guide to Aspen’s perfect patios. Here you’ll find the best places to soak up the sun, drink in the scene, ease into the evening, play with the family, top off an adventure and a lot more.
HAUTE HOTELS: A TASTE OF THE GOOD LIFE • Element 47 & Ajax Tavern: The outside patio of Element 47 and the slopeside deck at Ajax Tavern benefit from the world-class chefs, sommeliers and mixologists employed by The Little Nell. Enjoy a four-course meal accompanied by a bottle of fine wine or nosh on an appetizer and sip a specialty cocktail and you’ll see what we mean. • The Hotel Jerome: A drink at the historic Hotel Jerome is an Aspen must-do. Now, the experience promises to be even more memorable. “We are so excited to unveil our new loungy atmosphere on the garden terrace,” says food and beverage director Adam Cohen. “We have purchased firepits and cushioned wicker couches and chairs to create conversational seating areas.” • The Limelight: The comfy, casual outdoor spaces — both by the lounge and by the pool — at this locals’ favorite are perfect for après-hike (or bike or shopping), dinner or late-night s’mores over the outdoor firepit. Plus, the Limelight boasts the longest happy hour in town, making it as affordable as it is enjoyable. • The St. Regis Aspen: Sipping a summertime specialty, such as an espresso martini, in the Fountain Courtyard at this ultra-luxe property is worth the price for a few reasons, but the best part? “It comes with an
28
A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

Jul y 14 - Jul y 20, 2016
• Aspen Art Museum: The rooftop SO Café is unique among Aspen’s patios. The views of Ajax are impressive, the prices are reasonable, the vibe is laid-back — and it’s all situated atop the Museum. Check out an exhibit or two (for free) and then discuss what you saw over a glass of wine. Classy. • Fish Tales: For a land-locked town, Aspen does sushi pretty darn well. And, all three local sushi restaurants — Kenichi, Maru and Matsuhisa — offer outdoor dining in summer. There’s nothing more relaxing after a long day spent exploring than sharing a sushi roll and cold sake with friends.
• Restaurant Row: Hopkins Avenue between Mill and Monarch is rightly dubbed “restaurant row.” Seriously, about a dozen locally owned establishments serve up their specialties in just this one block. Most have outdoor seating, and all are worth a visit.
AND THERE’S MORE ...
We’d be remiss if we didn’t tell you that pictureperfect patios can also be found in neighboring Snowmass Village. “Enjoying a meal on one of the many outdoor patios is among my favorite treats in Snowmass,” said Rose Abello, director of Snowmass Tourism. “Great food, a great scene and often spectacular views make any meal memorable.” Indeed, Snowmass Village delivers: Each “neighborhood” offers a distinct outdoor dining experience. In fact, the village’s myriad patios — in Base Village and on the Snowmass Mall, on the mountain and just down the hill — beckon locals and visitors for some serious summertime fun. To get the lowdown on where to go, check out Snowmass in Summer, a publication of The Aspen Times available on newsstands and at www.aspentimes.com.

PICNIC TIME IN SNOWMASS
DEAF CAMP BENEFIT STAGE TO FEATURE PIMPS OF JOYTIME, JES GREW AND BOBBY MASON’S RETURN NOW IN ITS FOURTH YEAR
since being resurrected, the Deaf Camp Benefit brings together locals, tourists, musicians and campers to celebrate and support the Aspen Camp of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. The original Deaf Camp Picnic, founded in 1967, was an iconic Snowmass event founded by John Denver, featured performances by the likes of Jimmy Buffet and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and raised funds for the camp. Back then it was held at the camp in Old Snowmass and in the Campground area behind Snowmass Ski Area. It went dormant after Denver’s untimely death in 1997 until its

return in 2013, when it came back to life at Snowmass Base Village. And it’s now steadily becoming a cornerstone of the summer in Snowmass Village. This year’s headliner is the rollicking soul band Pimps of Joytime, preceded by a performance by Deaf Campers and the local jam rockers Jes Grew. Opening up the festivities this year is a trio of longtime local musicians: Mack Bailey, Bobby Mason and Rich Ganson. Mason, the beloved singer-songwriter and former Starwood frontman, has been a staple of the picnic since its early days. Two years ago, in a memorable festival moment,
Jul y 14 - Jul y 20, 2016
he got married on-stage during a Starwood reunion performance. Mason, 72, has been unable to play music since May, when a serious knee infection required a knee removal and the first of several surgeries that will likely keep him off of his feet until next summer. But, he says, because the Deaf Camp cause and this concert are dear to his heart, he is aiming to play it again this time around with Bailey and Ganson. “Mack says, ‘We’ll just put you in a chair and carry you onstage!’” Mason told the Aspen Times. “It’ll be the first thing I try.” The all-day concert is free, but donations are encouraged. All
proceeds go to the Aspen Camp. One of the oldest nonprofits in the area, the Aspen Camp offers programming for adults, children and family members of deaf and hard-ofhearing individuals — including ski weeks to backpacking trips to American Sign Language classes. “Aspen Camp is the only yearround camp for the deaf in the world,” the camp’s D.J. Monahan told the Snowmass Sun at last year’s event. “This benefit will support our operations: Over 60 percent of our campers attend camp on scholarships.”

BOOK REVIEW
‘THE INNOCENTS’ THE HEART OF ACE ATKINS’ novels featuring former Army Ranger Quinn Colson look at a community populated by people who want to do the right thing but whose good intentions are often thwarted by the evil that flows through the Mississippi town of Jericho. Horrible crimes come to Mississippi’s Tibbehah County, and Atkins delves deeply to thoughtfully illustrate how people cope with these intrusions and how Quinn’s sense of justice infuses his actions. “The Innocents” picks up a year after Quinn lost his re-election as sheriff. He then returned to Afghanistan as a civilian helping train the local police force. Now back in Jericho, Quinn is adrift, trying to figure out what is going
NOTEWORTHY
on with his girlfriend who may not be getting a divorce, and contending with his estranged father, who has grandiose ideas about developing land adjacent to Quinn’s farm. His nemesis, the corrupt businessman Johnny Stagg, is in federal prison, but even more ruthless criminals may have moved in. The horrific death of teenager Milly Jones pulls Quinn back into law enforcement when his help is needed by Sheriff Lillie Virgil. Milly had been a popular cheerleader, but this year after high school graduation has been rife with family problems. Her latest job was working as a stripper. Milly’s death uncaps a swath of racism and fear as many suspects try to place the blame on others. Quinn’s friendship with Lillie

and his love for his family are foremost, with his need for justice for Jericho and its people a close second. Yet Atkins allows Quinn to make mistakes and have foibles, making him an even more complex character. “The Innocents” moves at a brisk pace through Mississippi backroads to diners and cigar bars where deals are made but not always carried out. Atkins, who is continuing the late Robert B. Parker’s Spenser series, delivers another rousing thriller.
