THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

by ANDREW TRAVERS

BOOKS Local author Jill Sheeley will sign and discuss her new book Saturday at Explore Booksellers.

LONGTIME LOCAL and

children’s book author Jill Sheeley is back with a new dog on new adventures.

Sheeley’s new title, “Adventures of Kip in Aspen & Snowmass” follows Kip, an Australian shepherd, and his owner, Courtney, through the local landscape.

“I’m one of the luckiest dogs in the world,” it opens.

“I live in Aspen, Colorado.

Every day is a blast.”

From there, Kip and Courtney head out and hit the Wheeler Opera House and the Maroon Bells, Winterskol and the Music Tent. They ride the Silver Queen Gondola and the local Nordic trails. The book is a love letter to Aspen through the eyes of a dog, following in the footsteps of Sheeley’s series of books about the yellow lab Fraser.

Along with the Fraser series, Sheeley is the author of the holiday perennial “Christmas in Aspen,” a series of cookbooks collecting Aspen recipes, and the young adult novel “The Blue Bottle.” Her new book returns her to the friendly, picture-book style and a lovable canine protagonist.

Sheeley will discuss and sign copies of “Adventures of Kip” at Explore Booksellers on Saturday, Dec. 17 at 4 p.m.

For more on Sheeley and her new book, pick up the Dec. 16 Weekend section of the Aspen Times or go to www.aspentimes.com.

‘TIS THE COLD SEASON

1939 ASPEN

“COLD AND SICKNESS ARE PREVALENT HERE,” lamented the Aspen Daily Times on Dec. 14, 1939. “Doctors and local drug dispensing stores have been working overtime the past few weeks as more and more people have fallen victim to colds and other sickness which have been quite prevalent in this community. Large numbers of school children have been taking forced vacations from their studies and many of their elders, if not actually on the sick list, are carrying on their daily tasks under difficulties because of that ‘no account’ feeling which accompanies a cold. Although no really serious cases have been reported, a lot of citizens have been mighty miserable as the cold epidemic has run its course in their households. This epidemic of colds seems to be no respecter of persons and most everyone in town has had it in some form. Several theories have been advanced as to the reason for so much sickness when such wonderfully warm weather has been in order the past two months, but the most popular belief is that the startling lack of moisture has caused the air to be filled with dust particles which serve as carriers for germs and that we will have little relief until a good rain or snow falls to clear the atmosphere. Possibly cold sufferers as well as skiers should be praying for snow.” The photo above shows Al S. Lamb and Bud Cooper in front of Al’s drug store on Hyman Avenue in the late 1930s.

GEAR of the WEEK

by STEPHEN REGENOLD

BLACK DIAMOND ‘IOTA’ HEADLAMP REVIEW THE ERA OF EFFICIENT micro-lighting has arrived. A decade of R&D, dozens of product iterations and a sustained march in LED manufacturing now presents consumers with exponentially better ways to see in the dark.

In the category of headlamps, the factors of low-price, high-brightness, and functionality have collided. At $40, a model like the Black Diamond Iota, reviewed here, is representative of the highly evolved specimens now seen across the outdoors.

I’ve been testing it for five months. New this year, the Iota is tiny and bright. It’s easy to use, comfortable to wear, and it includes about five “glad they thought of that” features that are indispensable (though I hardly knew I needed them at first).

You can barely feel the Iota on your head.

It weighs about 2 ounces on its comfortable, easy-to-adjust headband. From the minuscule face, which is less than 2 inches wide, an amazing amount of light can shine.

At its max output of 150 lumens, the LED runs for about three hours, much longer when dimmed. I found the mid-level brightness adequate for most uses, allowing the battery to last for many hours between charge-ups.

The Iota is Black Diamond’s smallest and lightest rechargeable light. Its lithium-ion battery charges via a wall socket or a USB port on a computer.

A single button controls brightness and on/off. Push it and hold, and the light dims quickly from its top brightness setting down to low.

The square face is adorned with a single, strong LED that puts out an even cloud of light. Its white bubble of light is enough to trail run on tricky terrain.

A unique feature, the company includes something called PowerTap Technology. It allows for transitioning between brightness modes when you tap on the side of the headlamp near the lens.

A lock mode is included. This lets you disable the on/off button when storing the headlamp in a pocket or backpack. It’s a nice security touch so that you don’t arrive somewhere dark with an accidentallydrained light.

The unit is water resistant, rated to IPX4.

This means it’ll stand up to splashed water, rain, and sleet. Don’t swim with it, though.

At $39.95, the Iota is a good deal. The unit comes in five colors, is small, bright and highly usable. I put it through a test for five months. Today, it’s my new go-to mini light for most anything outdoors after dark.

WINEINK

WINE REWIND

PEOPLE PLACES AND THINGS IF YOU HAVE READ WINEINK over the past eight years in Aspen, or the past year in other papers throughout the West, you know that while there is occasionally criticism, there is mostly celebration. Celebration of what I like to call “PPT,” the three things that make the wine world most interesting: People, Places and Things.

Over the past year, KELLY J. we have mutually HAYES explored 50 or more wine PPTs. Here’s a look at some of my favorites.

THE PEOPLE

While it is easy to lose sight of, wine is mostly about people. The people who plant the vines and harvest the grapes and the people who make, market and eventually serve wines.

It just so happens that many of the world’s most interesting people are in the wine business.

We ended 2015 with a story about Jody Elsom of the Seattlebased Elsom Cellars, who was in a café in Paris, sipping wines and having dinner, just as the terrorists struck nearby last November. Jody recounted the horror and how she was only comforted for the first time when she finally got back to the refuge of her urban winery, surrounded by her fermentation tanks and bottles. It was a poignant reminder of not just how fragile life can be, and also of the solace that wine can provide.

Wine can also bring wealth and riches. This past year, we also chronicled the rise of another Seattlebased winemaker, Charles Smith, who ended 2015 by opening a new art gallery-worthy winery in Seattle dubbed Jet City, and ended this year by selling off half of his brands for $120 million.

Wealth also was front and center in our examination of collector Bill Koch, who opted in May to part ways with some 20,000 bottles of wine ranging in age from a 1869 Mouton Rothschild to a Mazis Chambertin, by Louis Jadot, from the 2005 vintage. The sale at Sotheby’s did quite well, thank you, fetching in excess of $10 million

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

F

over three dizzying days.

Then there was the story of a man inducted into the Vintners Hall of Fame at the Napa Valley-based Culinary Institute of America, who never produced a single bottle of wine. Cesar Chavez, the labor organizer who led the United Farm Workers Union and the “March on Modesto,” is one of the most important change agents in world wine history, and his contributions are priceless.

From Northern Italy, where we walked the vineyards of the Colli Orientali del Friuli region with winemaker Giorgio Colutta, to Aspen, where we sipped Oregon pinot from the pioneering producer Peter Rosback, to our conversation with Dan Kosta about the California Coastal gems he crafts for Kosta Browne, we have been able to profile many of the most creative winemakers on the planet.

THE PLACES

Of course, place pairs with people in wine production. While there were profiles of Bordeaux and Burgundy, some of the most interesting places of the year were likely less well-known.

Wine lovers are familiar with sangiovese and the Chianti wines of Tuscany, but the real action in Tuscany is on the coast where winemakers like Angelo Gaja and the Antinoris are creating classic wines in Maremma that marry the indigenous Italian grape varietals with the Bordeaux grapes.

Then there is Coombsville, the most southern appellation in the Napa Valley, where wines ranging from pinot noir to syrah are getting not just acclaim but attention from collectors. And lest we forget the emerging regions, we covered the approval of a new wine region that spans the Washington and Idaho border, dubbed the Lewis and Clark AVA. Be the first on your block to try a wine from there.

THE THINGS

While there were stories on winery dogs, the effects of wine on sex and California’s colleges of wine, I don’t want to let the year pass without a final shout-out to three of the most significant anniversaries of the year.

D e c e m b e r 15 - D e c e m b e r 2 1, 20 16

Fiddlestix Vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills appellation of Central California is a the source of some of America’s finest pinot noir.

It can be argued that 1976, forty years ago this year, was the year that fostered the American wine landscape that we enjoy today. In April of that year, the first issue of Wine Spectator was produced.

In July, Napa Valley wines were deemed by a panel of French wine experts as being superior to some of the wines of Bordeaux in “The Judgement of Paris.” And Dan Margaret Duckhorn launched a Napa Valley wine venture that would fly to unprecedented heights.

In 2016, we covered all of the above and much more. Thanks for the ride. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

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 THE WINE BIBLE Rather than suggest a wine this week, I am going to suggest a book that is filled with the PPTs that make wine so splendid. Karen MacNeil, a wine educator, speaker and, of course, author, put together the first edition of The Wine Bible over a 10year period and published it in 2001. It was a vibrant, well-written, meticulously researched tome that has become, well, a bible for me in my study of wine.

As the world has changed radically, so too has the world of wine. MacNeil has updated the book and the newest edition, which came out last October, would make an outstanding Christmas present for your favorite wine lover or yourself. She’ll even autograph a copy for you. Find it at karenmacneil.com.

BREWING BENEVOLENCE

A COFFEE GIFT EXCHANGE TO RING IN THE HOLIDAYS

HOW OFTEN do you drink coffee: Daily? On weekends? Every few hours during the hectic holidays?

Even if you’re not part of the 59 percent of Americans who drink an estimated 1.85 cups every day, according to the National Coffee Association’s 2016 trends report, think about the many people in your life who do partake — friends, lovers, AMANDA RAE parents, mentors, offspring, coworkers, and colleagues, not to mention all of the folks in line at your neighborhood café or supermarket.

No doubt, coffee is an American ritual: We make it at home, sip it in restaurants, discuss single-origin coffee beans as if wine varietals, and ponder wide-ranging brewing methods — French press, drip, pour over, cold brew, single-serve, siphon, Cowboy Method — endlessly.

Considering our consumption habits, it might seem tough to reconcile an inconvenient truth: Coffee is one of few products with such widespread following that is not grown in North America. (Well, until some farmers began trying to cultivate coffee in California last year — though the setup required a special irrigation system to combat the local drought, and beans sold for $60 per pound.)

Hoping to bridge the gap between our insatiable thirst for coffee and millions of farmers overseas caught up in unsustainable, shady practices (including enslavement), Bonfire Coffee in Carbondale has launched a holiday fundraising partnership with Colorado-based nonprofit fi-lan’thro-pe and the Roaring Fork Farmers (RFF), to “tell the story of Vietnamese coffee,” says Bonfire Coffee owner Charlie Chacos. “Most coffee from Vietnam is commodity grade,” he explains. “By improving coffee quality the farm will be able to charge more per pound,” and farmers will receive fairer wages.

12

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

F

Through fi-lan’thro-pe — a Denver-based 501c3 focused on sustainable development, indigenous rights, and “leveraging the love of coffee to heal the world” — Bonfire Coffee has received an initial shipment of 1,800 pounds of green coffee beans directly from a farming tribe in Vietnam. Now the company is donating time and resources at its roasting facility in Glenwood Springs; RFF members are volunteering to help roast and bag the beans, which is available at Bonfire Coffee in Carbondale.

For consumers, there’s only one catch: This coffee is not for sale, technically.

“It’s by donation — a gift exchange,” explains fi-lan’thro-pe liaison Natalie Rae Fuller, also RFF communications officer. “You donate for the coffee, then it’s a gift from the community as a thank you.”

Of every $15 donation per 12-ounce bag, Fuller says, $12 goes directly back to the K’Ho Cil Tribe of Lac Duong, Vietnam; $2 to RFF, and $1 to Bonfire. “This is the most sustainable coffee we can get our hands on,” she adds. “If you give your dollars to a corporation, it’s so split up that [the farmers only] get about 90 dollars a year.”

As more than a dozen steps are required to prepare every — tree pruning, fertilizing, harvesting, fermenting, drying, curing, hulling, hand-selecting defective beans, and packing for shipment to the U.S. — coffee is one of the most labor-intensive crops in the world, third only to cotton and tobacco.

Furthermore, some 100-plus quality-control checkpoints must be met before product hits the port.

In five years of this work, fi-lan’thro-pe has successfully eliminated illegal loan sharks and predatory lending practices in at least one tribal community in Southeast Asia; established two cooperatives comprising 80 families; increased those family earnings by more than 3,000 percent; and launched initiatives related to waste-cycling, composting, clean water access,

D e c e m b e r 15 - D e c e m b e r 2 1, 20 16

healthcare, and organic animal raising, all of which fosters long-term economic stability. Fi-lan’thro-pe calls this “the first certifiable specialty coffee hailing from Vietnam since the late-nineteenth century.”

Not only is this coffee for a worthy cause — it makes a fantastic cuppa, boasting notes of blackberry jam, dark chocolate, macadamia nuts, and honey. An independent panel of roasters from Portland, Seattle, Denver, and Berlin rated the beans at an average of 85 on a scale of 1-100. “Anything over 80 is specialty,” Fuller explains. (Read specific flavor comments in “Tasting Notes,” opposite page.)

“This particular coffee appears to have been picked and processed very well, which makes my job look easy,” says Bonfire Coffee production roaster Jane Salee. “The coffee geek in me would say these are some of the most beautiful beans roasted.”

While the coffee gift exchange offers an opportunity for individuals to lower their carbon footprint while becoming more conscious about everyday habits — during Carbondale’s First Friday in December, for example, visitors to the Bonfire café were able to “meet” the Vietnamese farmers via Skype —

Fuller notes a sticking point about the donation structure.

“Here in America we’re use to putting money down and getting a product right off the shelf,” she says.

“People find it confusing to fill out a slip and not get their coffee until later.

We’re trying to get enough donations for a large roast. We’re only roasting what has been donated so far — we don’t want to roast beans [in advance, without donations] because then they’ll go bad.”

Bonfire hopes that larger companies in the Roaring Fork Valley will step up to make substantial donations to take advantage of tax benefits, perhaps under the guise of doling out holiday gifts to employees.

(A $500 donation, for example, yields 33 bags of coffee.)

“Just by choosing this bag of coffee for our morning caffeine fix, we are creating positive change directly in these farming communities and for the families involved,” Salee says. “I see this partnership as an important step in creating tangible relationships with the goods we consume — in general, but excessively in the case of coffee, one of the highest traded commodities in the world.” amandaraewashere@gmail.com

TASTING NOTES Similar to wine, coffee is rated on a scale of 1-100. Ratings — also known as “cup scores” — for the Vietnam beans in the coffee gift exchange program through Bonfire Coffee in collaboration with nonprofit fi-lan’thro-pe and the Roaring Fork Farmers were submitted by a panel of American roasters, each listing relative scores for taste, aroma, acidity, body, aftertaste, and overall balance. A cup scoring above 80 points is “specialty.”

Only 1 percent of all coffee is above 82 points. Panel comments: “Juicy, floral, jammy, sweet.”

(84.75/100)—Sustainable Harvest Coffee Importers, Portland, Ore. “Floral, citrus fruits, sweet.”

(86.75/100)—Olam Specialty Coffee Importers, Healdsburg, Calif.

“Sweet, papaya, brown sugar.”

(85.75/100)—Blue Bottle Coffee Roaster, San Francisco, Calif.

“Green apple, crisp, sweet, honey.

(85.5/100)—Sightglass Coffee Roasters, San Francisco, Calif.

“Floral, sweet, Ethiopian-esque.”

(86.75/100)—The Coffee Circle Roaster, Berlin, Germany “This is Vietnam? I’d take a ton right now.” (85/100)—Sweet Bloom Coffee Roasters, Denver, Colo.

FROM ASPEN, WITH LOVE

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS

by JEANNE MCGOVERN

SINGED SAGE On a recent whirlwind tour of downtown Denver, a friend and I decided to break up the holiday shopping madness with a tequila tasting of sorts — one “outlaw” shot at a nearby bar for every store we stepped foot into (yes, we mixed up our poison in the form of Herradura, Petron and Milagro).

So, when we finally landed back at our hotel restaurant for an 8 p.m. dinner reservation at Panzano at the Monaco, we knew our libation of choice would have to be tequilabased. Thankfully, the pages-long iPad cocktail menu did not disappoint. With a little direction from our waiter and

MAKE IT Herradura reposado tequila Montenegro amaro Grilled pineapple sage shrub Served over ice in a rocks glass

instant best friend Brian, we sipped on a Singed Sage. And the name couldn’t be more spot-on — this twist on a classic tequila drink was both smokey (hence, the Singed) and herbaceous (thus, the Sage). I think the addition of amaro and the grilled pineapple flavor are what made it stand out, though. A wholly different experience — and far superior, taste-wise — than the straight-up shots that proceeded it. A perfect way to transition from a day on the 16th Street Mall to a leisurely dinner at one of Denver’s dining hotspots.

LIBATIONS WAS CREATED BY BELOVED ASPEN TIMES PUBLISHER GUNILLA ASHER, WHO DIED JUNE 2, 2014, AFTER A BRAVE BATTLE WITH CANCER. CHEERS — TO GUNNER!

MUSIC/ART/FILM/LITERATURE

by ANDREW TRAVERS

TALL TALES, YOUNG TALENT, ‘BIG FISH’ “YOU’RE AN ALABAMA BOY!” Edward Bloom tells his son early on in the musical “Big Fish.” “We’ve got a story under every leaf and every stone.”

But as much as Edward revels in unearthing and polishing (and embellishing) his tall tales, his son, Will, is less enthralled by telling whoppers. As Edward puts it, he was “born a tiny, middle-aged man.”

“Big Fish” is a sentimental portrait of their rocky relationship, eventual reconciliation, and all the fantastic tales in between.

The musical, based on the Daniel Wallace novel and the Tim Burton film adaptation, opened on Broadway in 2013 and is running at the Black Box Theatre in a Theatre Aspen Winter Conservatory production Dec. 15 through 17. Directed and choreographed by Marisa Post, the show has been in rehearsals since late September.

It’s a sweet and big-hearted tearjerker about the tall tale-spinning Edward looking back on his life with Will, who is about to have a child of his own.

In the local production, Edward is played by Aspen High School senior Lyon Hamill, who this month won the Senior Scholarship Award from the Annual Colorado Thespian Conference — the top theater prize statewide for Colorado high schoolers. Fellow senior Luke Ryan tackles the role of Will. In all, there are seven Roaring Fork Valley schools represented among the cast and crew for “Big Fish.”

The young actors in the cast have to juggle three different realities in the show — they bounce between a realworld present, a true past and a fantasy past based on Edward’s stories.

“These actors had to portray these characters in radically different ways to get across the fantasy elements versus the historical and the real life elements,” Theatre Aspen director of education Graham Northrup said at a recent rehearsal. “That’s one of the things that really attracted us to ‘Big Fish.’”

The meaty roles — and big dance numbers — that the show offers the ensemble cast also were a good fit for

COURTESY PHOTOS

IF YOU GO... the conservatory, which includes actors from early elementary school through high school. Among them are a witch and a giant and, yes, some big fish.

“The show is about this father and son,” said Northrup. “But it’s all these other people that create the world that they’re in and they’re obviously integral to the vision of the show.”

The winter conservatory shows have, in recent years, been staged in larger spaces like the Wheeler Opera House or the Aspen District Theatre.

This year, they’re in the Black Box Theatre and they’re using the intimate venue to their advantage with “Big Fish,” crafting it into a tender production that’s small in scale but big on emotion.

“If there’s a lesson to be learned,” Northrup said, “it’s that we need to learn to relate to each other — particularly in our families.” atravers@aspentimes.com

BOOK REVIEW

‘OUT OF BOUNDS’ DETECTIVE CHIEF INSPECTOR Karen Pirie has always been a workaholic. But now immersion in her work doesn’t just give her life structure, it also has become a kind of comfort that allows her to deal with grief in “Out of Bounds,” Val McDermid’s latest exciting novel about this Scottish police detective.

Pirie, now head of Police Scotland’s small Historic Cases Unit in Edinburgh, tackles a decadesold murder after 17-year-old Ross Garvie goes on a high-speed ride with three of his friends. A horrific crash results in the death of the three drunken teens and leaves Garvie in a coma.

Karen and her partner, Detective Constable Jason Murray, become involved when Garvie’s DNA is shown to be a familial match to that

of a Glasgow hairdresser whose rape and murder has gone unsolved for years. But maneuvering the Scottish legal system to track down Garvie’s male relatives is fraught with complications.

Another case also occupies Karen’s time — the alleged suicide of Gabriel Abbott, who lived in Kinross. The Abbott case isn’t Karen’s, but she becomes nearly obsessed with finding out if his death was in any way linked to the death of his mother, who was killed in a plane crash decades earlier.

The caseloads help distract Karen from her grief over the death of Phil Parhatka, a fellow detective who was killed in the line of duty.

She loved Phil and longs to discuss every investigation, twist and theory with him. When not at work, she

Karen is easily the smartest person in the room. She often infuriates her bosses, who grudgingly acknowledge that her insight and intelligence gets the job done.

McDermid balances the intense character studies in “Out of Bounds” with an inside view of the Scottish legal system and again shows her acuity in producing intelligent thrillers.
