Country songster Chris Young star of Tri-County Fair
Country singer Chris Young will be live on stage on Saturday,
Aug. 30 as the highlight of the Tri-County Fair. The singer has
accomplished more by 28 than some
artists do in a lifetime. Already a Grammy-nominated recording
artist, hes also a dynamic live performer con-sistently in demand,
an international ambassador for his genre, a talented songwriter
with five Number Ones to his name by the way, he wrote four of them
and a handsome charmer to boot.
Now, with the release of his fourth album A.M. (RCA Nashville),
the man known for his classic baritone and melt-your-heart ballads
has revealed himself to be king of the good time, too. The lead
single Aw Naw electrified crowds and stormed up the Billboard Hot
Country Songs chart to peak at #4. His latest single, Who I Am With
You, is currently at #11 on that same chart. The song was also
chosen as the #1 Country Song by Rolling Stone readers.
Country heart and soul It only takes two words to sum up the
career of Chris
Young: Definitely country. Ive always loved country music, and I
really liked
singing it as a kid, Young remembers. So I was like, Thats what
I want to do. I just kind of always knew.
Blessed with parents who encouraged his art, the Murfreesboro,
Tenn., native soon found his way into musical theater, jazz
training, and six years of classical voice, which honed his
emerging baritone into something truly special.
The album A.M. is defiantly, definitely country. Everybodys got
a definition of what country music is,
Young says. Never before has it been so broad as to what can be
on a country radio station, and what country music can be. It
really just has to be what you feel as an artist.
Chris Young will be joined on stage by opening act Courtney
Cole.
A native of Mandeville, La., Cole made her journey to Music City
in 2005. Shortly after graduating from Belmont University, Courtney
was cast in the first season of CMTs hit series, CMTs Next
Superstar. She quickly received her first songwriting deal and
began writing with Nashvilles biggest hitmakers including Brett
James (Jesus Take The Wheel) and Jus-tin Weaver (Get Off On The
Pain).
While audiences might be less familiar with
Coles stage presence get ready! Shes an up-and-coming star with
a great voice, a dynamic stage presence and a rare connection to
the audience.
Tickets for the Chris Young - Courtney Cole concert are
available from the Winnemucca Con-vention and Visitors Authority
website: www.winnemucca.com. Tickets are $30 for general admission;
reserved seats are $50 and $75. Pur-chase your reserved seat
tickets by Aug. 15 and youll be entered into a drawing to win two
back stage passes to meet the performers! F

Country Songs

Nevada Outdoor School will be hosting the 6th Annual Buckaroo
Dutch Oven Cook-Off Saturday, Aug. 23 in Winnemucca.
It is Nevada Outdoor Schools annual fundraiser and this years
event promises to be bigger and better than ever! This competition
is fast becoming a major northern Nevada event, so mark your
cal-endars now!
Nevada Outdoor School (NOS) is a rural Nevada non-profit
orga-nization providing outdoor edu-cation to area youth in the
form of inquiry-based science lessons in the classroom to grades
K-8, Field Trips, Summer Camps, Out-door Ethics and ATV Safety,
just to name a few of our programs.
This year NOS is reaching stu-dents and their families in
Hum-boldt, Lander, Elko, Pershing and Clark counties.
Our mission is to inspire exploration of the natural world,
responsible stewardship of our habitat and dedication to
com-munity. NOS programs have proven to be a fantastic value and
experience for our local youth and their families and we are able
to offer almost all of our programs for free or a very small fee
thanks to federal grants, and private, corporate and foundation
contributions.
As we all know, federal fund-ing is becoming quite scarce,
especially for education, so pri-vate donations and creative
fund-raising efforts are becoming more and more important to the
future success of our organization.
The Buckaroo Dutch Oven Cook-Off is one of those efforts and is
becoming more popular each year. This year we again hope to expand
our participation of Dutch Oven enthusiasts by being a member of
the Interna-tional Dutch Oven Society (IDOS)
and extending an invitation across the country. Northern Nevada
is a beautiful summer destination, especially for those who enjoy
outdoor recreation.
This year, in addition to the original two beginner categories
for entry, we will have a separate IDOS sanctioned competition that
could send you to the Nation-al Finals Dutch Oven Cook-Off. The
IDOS sanctioned competitors will cook the standard three dish-es;
bread, main dish and a dessert ($45 entry fee).
The first place winner for that category will receive $300, a
tro-phy, and a special invitation to the National Finals Dutch Oven
Cook-Off in Sandy, Utah next Spring.
Beanmaster ($35 entry fee) entrants prepare a main dish and
dessert.
Chuck Wagon ($25 entry fee) entrants prepare a main dish with
cash prizes, trophies and bragging rights for the next year.
After official judging, a public tasting is offered for a
suggested donation and there will be lots of raffle prizes along
with live music to keep things entertaining.
This is NOSs major fundraiser and your chance to come and
support our fantastic programs by bringing your family and friends
out for a day of good food and great fun!
Please feel free to check out our website at
www.nevadaout-doorschool.org to see all the fan-tastic outdoor
activities NOS is able to offer. You may send any questions or
inquiries to [email protected]. We will happily send the
registration form, rules, directions, and any-thing else you may
need to come on out to Winnemucca, Nevada to join us for a great
time, lots of great food and hopefully youll make some new friends
along the way. F

Over the past year, Frank Solivan & Dirty Kitchen have been
taking the bluegrass world by storm. With the release of their new
album Cold
Spell on Aug. 12, they are poised to branch out even further
into the burgeoning roots music scene.
The band will perform in Winnemucca on Thursday, Aug. 7 at 7
p.m. at The Martin Hotel.
Fronted by m a n d o l i n i s t , singer and song-writer Frank
Solivan, the band has been nominated for multiple IBMA awards
includ-ing Instrumental Group of the Year and Emerg-ing Artist of
the year, and their current tour schedule includes some of the most
important tastemaker festivals in the roots music world.
Their new album Cold Spell will solidify their position as
torchbearers for the new generation of progressive bands taking
blue-grass from its traditional roots to a younger
DRAIN AWAY YOUR TROUBLES
Dirty Kitchen Band washes into Winnemucca
and broader audience.The albums 10 tracks show just how far the
tradi-
tional bluegrass instrumentation of banjo, mandolin, guitar and
acoustic bass can go in the right hands. From the evocative opening
track Say It Isnt So, through the bluesy No Life in this Town, to
the future jam grass anthem She Said She Will (featur-ing Solivans
bluesy tenor vocals and a jaw dropping banjo performance from Mike
Munford, International Bluegrass Music Associations reigning Banjo
Player of the Year), Frank Solivan and his bandmates (Munford on
banjo, Danny Booth on bass and Chris Luquette
on guitar) take their brand of bluegrass through the paces
proving track after track that bluegrass can rock and groove. With
special guests Leon Alexander, Sam Bush, John Cowan, Rob Ickes and
Megan McCormick.
This event is presented by Great Basin Arts and Entertainment, a
local all volunteer grass-roots non-profit, organized to bring
world class perfor-mances to our community. Tickets are available
at Global Coffee, Natures Corner and The Martin Hotel or online via
the Martin Hotel website: www.themartinhotel.com. For more

The revitalization of cow-boy music and poetry in recent years
has allowed Guy and Pipp Gillette to com-bine their life long
interest in the history of the west and its music with their
musical experience.
The Gillette Brothers will perform Friday, Aug. 1 at the Eureka
Opera House.
As the Gillette Brothers, they have recorded and
released six albums of tradi-tional cowboy music inter-spersed
with a few originals.
Pipp Gillette also has a busy solo career, while broth-er Guy
runs the ranch.
Most recently they have been exploring the celtic roots, country
blues, min-strel and medicine show songs that influenced cowboy
music.
Since taking over the running of the family ranch in 1983, the
Gillette Broth-ers, Guy & Pipp, have found that diversification
is not only
a necessity, it keeps things interesting. Their involve-ment in
the cattle business as well as the music business both as
performers and music venue operators proves challenging.
Built in 1880 and recently restored, the Eureka Opera House is
easily found in the center of Eureka. Perfor-mances begin at 7
p.m., and tickets are available at the door. For more information

Carving on aspens has been an almost universal Basque
sheepherder tradition since the late 1800s.
The quality and readability of the carvings varies a great deal.
An expert carver knew how to pick the right tree and the right
tool, and how to make an incision of the right depth to encourage
the perfect scar to form within a few years.
A new photography exhib-it at the Northeasern Nevada Museum in
Elko by Nancy Nagel and Ruby Yrueta Low-ery showcases these
carvings. On display through the end of August. and open during
regular museum hours. F

Plans for the celebra-tion of the 150th year of what has long
been known as the Ninety-Six Ranch in Para-dise Valley, Nevada have
been ongoing for more than a year.
Now that the Stewart fam-ily is in the final days before the
party of a lifetime, set for Aug. 3-9, everything is coming
together.
A few folks have dropped out, a few things have changed, but we
are moving forward with the fol-lowing in mind - just keep it cool
and well make it through, said Kris Stewart, whos been at the
forefront of arranging the celebration.
Stewart said many people have stepped up and offered their help
and theyve been thrilled to take advantage of the offers, which
will make it a community celebration
150 Years of History
Stewarts 96 Ranch sesquicentennial
Heres are a few quick notes of planned events, check the
Stew-arts 96 ranch web site for full details of each days events as
well as a synopsis of the ranchs history and current operation.
Sunday, August 3 Bicycle Poker Run through Paradise Valley

Bikes and More in Winnemucca.
The total course is 15 plus miles, but folks can ride, run, walk
or even ride their horse through any or part of it. 100% of
pro-ceeds will be donated to Patrick Ferraro Memorial Scholarship
Fund and the New Building Fund in Paradise Valley in Memory of
Christian Echevarria. Stewart said the poker run will be A great
chance to see a lot of Paradise Valley not normally open to public
- great history, and a fun family day.
Tuesday, August 5 - A nature walk led by USFS and FFA is planned
in the Hinkey Summit area. Participants can learn about plants,
animals, geology and history of the area and learn how ranching and
water development for livestock have improved the mountains for
all.
Wednesday, August 6 There will be barrel racing at the
Winnemucca Fairgrounds - There is $1,500 in added money in this 4D
event, and there are no cards required to run, said Stewart added
that there are youth, local and even a mens match race.
Thursday, August 7 Stock Family Reunion at Firemens Park,
Paradise Valley, starting at 4 pm. William Stock, founder of
Ninety-Six Ranch is the nexus of many of Humboldt Countys oldest
and most established families including members of the Schwartz,
Chabot, Miller and Stewart families.

Tournament benefiting Lowry Golf.
Friday, August 8th 4 pm Ninety-Six Ranch Sponsored Tommy Lee
Team Roping.
Saturday, August 9 Stewarts Ninety-Six Ranch, Paradise Valley, a
noon until 11 pm sesquicentennial celebration. Stewart said the
highlights of the daytime program include Jacob Aiken, a very
talented graduated senior from Lowry playing the National Anthem on
his electric guitar (and boy does this kid rock!!) and Jake
Schmidt, also a very talented graduated Senior singing Home Means
Nevada.
Well have a beautiful mounted color guard and some very
interesting and touching speakers. The ranch is providing paid
transportation for seniors who wish to attend through the Senior

attend. The evening will feature a steak dinner, concert and
dancing.
Sunday, August 10th - Buckaroo Breakfast served up at Par-adise
Valley Community Hall and an invitation to a 3 pm Cow-boy Church
service in the Paradise Valley Community Church.
For us, this is a once in a lifetime event said Kris Stewart.
perhaps our daughter Patrice will be fortunate enough to host a
200-year celebration one day. Stewart said she and her hus-band
Fred want their daughter to be left with the memories and the
future of being a fifth generation Nevada Rancher, raising some of
Nevadas best beef right in real-life Paradise.

Ranchs weeklong celebration is one of states signature
events
PARADISE VALLEY and endeavour. Stewart said Blake Duncan,
Paradise Valley FFA president is the volunteer coordinator.
No question the sesquicentennial party is an ambitious
undertaking, with events spanning a week. Winnemuc-cas Convention
and Visitors Authority and Humboldt County have assisted with
financing, recognizing that the number of out-of-town visitors
already signed-up to attend the event will bring business pay-back
for their investment.
A good-size chunk of 96-Ranch money has gone into the pot as
well.
The 96-Ranch Sesquecentennial celebration is listed on the
states sesquicentennial events calendar as a sig-nature event with
details and a connection to the ranch website for more details
including a history of the ranch, founded by German immigrant
William (Wilhelm) Stock in 1864. 150 years later, it is still owned
and operated by the fourth and fifth generations of William Stocks
direct descendants.
We believe it is very important to tell good news stories about
ranching in our State and agriculture, as a positive and
sustainable way of life, said Stewart of the motivation for all of
the work and money thats gone into the celebration.
We made a point of working with one of our federal land
management agencies (USFS) on one of our events, because we want to
show that mainstream Nevada Ranchers work with federal managers and
together, we strive to meet our goals and be positive stewards of
this land we share. F

Fallon beats the heat with outdoor concert The Dusty 45s take
the stage at Oats Park Art Center Aug. 16
The City of Fallon is hosting a free concert in the park with
the Dusty 45s.
This event starts at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 16 and the Dusty
45s will take the stage at 7:30 p.m.
Seattles Dusty 45s have a reputation for firing up the crowd.
They deliver their rockin, high-ener-gy music at just the right
throttle to keep fans on their feet, begging for more. Over the
years, the group has devoured styles ranging from twang coun-try,
jump blues, surf, and pure rock & roll, mixed-in elements from
influences such as Dixieland and Jazz, and now serve-it-up as a
sizzling sound all their own. With two wailing electric
guitars, a slappin upright bass and some guaranteed knock-down
drumming, they take it to 11 with a blazing trumpet.
The Dusty 45s have been thrilling crowds for over a decade. The
readers of the Seattle Weekly voted them Best of Seattle 3 years in
a row. In 2007 Huels enchanted the theater crowd, starring as Buddy
Holly in Seattles 5th Avenue Theaters production of The Buddy
Holly Story.This fun night out will also feature the
raffle for the City of Fallons Live Local Grand Prize Car. In
honor of Nevadas Sesquicenten-nial there will be a special singing
of Home Means Nevada before the Dusty 45s per-formance. For

The longest running food-oriented event in Neva-da, the Fallon

market, mud volleyball tour-nament, Fallon Lions Club Jr. Rodeo,
hypnotist, and plenty of famous Fallon cantaloupe.
History of the cantaloupe in Fallon O.J. Vannoy was the
first
to grow the Hearts of Gold cantaloupe variety in the Fal-lon
area, in 1911. They were grown here in abundance in
the 1920s and 1930s in the region.
Rick Lattin, with Lat-tin Farms in Fallon, said his family has
been grow-ing Hearts of Gold since the 1950s. Nevadas Hearts of
Gold market crashed early in the century when California farmers
grew hybrid variet-ies that stood up better to shipping.
A few families kept the
variety alive in north-ern Nevada. Com-pared with hybrid
cantaloupes, Hearts of Gold have a short shelf life, once ripened,
they last approximately three days if kept cool.
The Fallon Can-taloupe Festival cel-ebrates this delicious fruit
with whole fruit on sale, plus a variety of vendors offering plenty
of fruit, barbecue and other treats for sale. In addi-tion there
are several stage acts and games,
displays and vendors. The Fallon Cantaloupe
Festival is held at the Chur-chill County Fairgrounds over Labor
Day weekend. The fun begins Aug. 29 and continues through Aug.
31.

Paruku Project highlights Aboriginal art and science
Paruku is the region in Australias Western Desert that surrounds
the inland body of water known to settlers as Lake Gregory. Named
after the English-born explorer Sir August Greg-
ory, this terminal desert lake has long been a resource for the
Walmajarri-speaking Aboriginal people. The ancient shoreline of
Lake Gregory contains what may be the oldest sites of continuous
human cultural production in the world, with artifacts excavated
there estimated to be as old as 50,000 years.
The local Aboriginal peopleapproximately 150 men and women who
are referred to as the Traditional Own-ers of Parukulive in the
nearby settlement of Mulan. The unique cultural and environmental
values of Paruku led the Australian government to declare it an
Indigenous Protected Area, or IPA, in 2001.
Nevada Museum of Art hosts display RENO
The Paruku Project was a two-year effort consisting of teams of
scientists, artists, and writers working in this Aborig-inal desert
community, one of the poorest and most remote in Australia. The
first task of the teams was to assess current conditions. They
found an environment severely stressed by invasive species and a
culture slowly losing its identity. The second task was to design
and imple-ment cross-cultural and transformational responses to
these conditions, many of which involved artmaking.
Australian artist Mandy Martin and conservationist Guy
Fitzhardinge, along with writer and artist Kim Mahood, worked with
Walmajari people to revital-ize the art center in Mulan, which in
turn helped attract attention and funding from policy makers to
address challenges facing the region.
This exhibit is on display in Feature Gallery North at the
Nevada Museum of Art in Reno. F

Ray Bonneville is a poet of the demimonde who didnt write his
first song until his early 40s, some 20 years after he started
performing.
But with a style that sometimes draws comparisons to JJ Cale and
Daniel Lanois, this blues-influenced, New Orleans-inspired song and
groove man, as hes been so aptly described, luckily found his
rightful calling.
Bonneville will be on stage at The Martin Hotel in Winnemucca on
Wednesday, Aug. 27.
Born in Quebec, his family moved to Boston when he was 12. He
served a year in Vietnam as a Marine, struggled and overcame drug
addiction, earned a pilots license in Colorado, then moved to
Alaska, then Seattle, and Paris and New Orleans. But it took a
close call while piloting a seaplane across the Cana-dian
wilderness to make him decide it was time to get busy writing songs
gritty narratives inspired by a lifetime of hard-won knowledge set
against his gritty, soulful guitar and harmonica playing.
Bonnevilles latest album is Easy Gone, released
On Easy Gone, Bonneville delivers 10 reasons why longev-ity pays
off. On each song, his taut guitar-work shimmers like the scales on
coiled rattler, menacing and confident. His voice carries the rich,
natural timbre of time and his harmonica rhythms add an extra
dollop of grit to his streetwise sound. Produced by Bonneville and
Justin Douglas, Easy Gone wears the faded workclothes of a man who
knew when he said I do to a highway, as he sings in Who Do Call the
Shots, that it wasnt going to be an easy marriage. But he also knew
divorce was
Heartfelt Blues beatsRay Bonneville channels life of trials into
music
WINNEMUCCA
not an option, and affirms his vows in soul-ful lyrics that
balance thoughtful observation, impassioned emotion and the
restless soul of a wanderer.
An Austin resident since 2006, Bonneville still puts the rhythms
and soul of New Orleans into much of his music.
His songs carry a groove and momentum thats uniquely his and
will always be a part
of him, no matter where he roams.This event is presented by
Great Basin Arts
and Entertainment, a local all volunteer grass-roots non-profit,
organized to bring world class performances to our community.

What was the untamed West really like? Join author Mary Jo
Sonntag for story-telling and readings from her book, Write, If You
Live to Get There, the true story of her ancestors westward
migration from Vermont to northern California, told through a
series of letters written by members of the Phillips family.
The collection of corre-spondence, spanning more than 120 years,
paints a rich and detailed portrait of life on the America frontier
-includ-ing the Lake Tahoe region in the 19th and early 20th
centuries. By reading select-
ed letters, displaying vintage family pho-tographs, and using
her own captivating storytelling ability, Mary Jo will intro-duce
audiences to the daily thoughts and activities of the intrepid
Phillips clan and chronicle how they com-bined their
entrepreneurial skills and hospitable instincts to build prominent
resorts in the Lake Tahoe region at Phillips Station, Rubicon
Springs, and Meeks Bay, some of which existed until 1953 when the
snows col-lapsed the buildings.
The readings will be held Tuesday, Aug. 5 at the Span-ish
Springs Library in Sparks; Aug. 12 at the Sparks Library and Aug.
20 at the North-west Reno Library.
Ill be sharing tales about ancestors like JWD Phillips,
who ran for State Assem-bly twice as an i n d e p e n d e n t
and lost both times by a nar-row margin. S u p e r i n t e n -dent
of mines, this fascinating man developed several patents
for mining equipment, says Mary Jo.
Youll also learn about Mehitable Jane Ball Phillips, who taught
the Indians a lesson about manners after they startled her awake by
peering through her bedroom window, and about the leg-endary Snow
Shoe Thomp-son, who used Norwegian snow shoes to deliver mail
throughout the Sierra Neva-das for 20 years, even though he was
never paid a nickel.

charge. F

Caravanasary awaits For countless centuries, travelers along
the Silk Route crossed paths in caravansa-ries, a network of
oases and sanctuaries that dotted the 4,000-mile road from Europe
to East Asia.
These bustling caravan stops offered more than just shelter from
the desert wilderness; they were vital centers of cul-tural
exchange, bringing together trad-ers, pilgrims, monks, nomads,
traveling entertainers, and wild-eyed adventurers from all points
of the compass to share their stories around a common fire.
This year Burning Man organizers will create a caravansary that
occupies the crossroads of a dreamland: a bazaar of the bizarre
wherein treasures of every sort, from every land and age, flow in
and out to be flaunted, lost, exploited and discovered.
Anyone may pose as merchant here, and anyone may play a
customer, but nothing in this strange emporium shall have a
purchase price no quid, no pro, no quo no trade at all will be
allowed in this ambiguous arcade. According to a rule of desert
hospitality, the only thing of value in this marketplace will be
ones interaction with a fellow human being.

Deep Purple charge hard into 45th year Metal pioneers released
13th album Now What in 2013
WENDOVER
Formed in 1968 in Hert-ford, England, the heavy metal band Deep
Purple are considered by many to be the pioneers of modern rock
music and heavy metal.
Originally a progressive rock band, the boys in purple have
altered their approach to music
over the years, but always delivered a stellar stage show that
keeps the audience on their feet.
Deep Purple comes to the Wendo-ver Peppermill for an Aug. 16
show. Tickets are $40 to $110.
Deep Purple, together with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, have
been referred to as the unholy trin-ity of British hard rock and
heavy
metal in the early to mid-Sev-enties, and have sold over 100
million albums worldwide. Their most recent album Now What was
released in 2013.
Two songs are dedicated to Deep Purple founding member Jon Lord,
who died in July 2012 Uncommon Man and Above and Beyond, which
includes the lyrics Souls having touched are forever entwined.
Uncommon Man is partly inspired by the classical composition
Fanfare for the Common Man, and features a synthesizer-generated
fanfare theme composed by Don Airey.

BEIJING (AP) A company that operates a scenic landscape area in
southwest China which features in the latest Transformers movie
says it will sue its producers for breach of contract.t
It is the second Chinese company to make public a dispute with
Paramount Pictures over Transformers: Age of Extinction, which
heavily courts the Chinese audience with Chi-nese locations, actors
and products and is on track to become Chinas biggest-ever grossing
movie.
The Chongqing Wulong Karst Tourism Co. Ltd. said in a statement
sent to The Associated Press on Tuesday that the producers had
failed
to show its logo prominently in the movie as promised. As a
result, it is not clear to viewers that the shots of the scenic
spot in the movie are of Wulong, because they are interspersed with
scenes from Hong Kong, and other tourist spots are claiming the
karst peaks are theirs, it added.
It said it would file a suit at a court in Chongqing city
demanding unspecified dam-ages against Paramount Pictures and
Bei-jing-based 1905 Internet Technology Com-pany, one of the movies
Chinese partners. Wulong said it wanted measures taken to mitigate
the damage and compensation for direct and indirect economic
losses. F

Winemaker starry-eyed over Rhone Valley style
Our first meeting with Michel Chapoutier was in Washington, D.C.
about 20 years ago when the brash, young winemaker was just
breaking away from his fathers stodgy style of making wine. He
probably wasnt 30 years old at the time, but he was full of
self-confidence and enthusiasm for the Rhone Valley, where his
family had been making wines for generations in the village of Tain
lHer-mitage. He was impressive but no less so than his wines. We
knew then he was someone to be taken seriously, despite his
youth.
Unfortunately, he was right to defy his doubt-ful father, who
had let the wines reputation fall into disrepair. The young
Chapoutier not only brought new enthusiasm for the family wine, but
he brought huge viticultural changes. He began biodynamic and
organic farming techniques before they were popular, eliminated
chemicals and fer-tilizers, stopped filtering his wines, and
embraced natural yeasts. All of this was a gamble to everyone in
the Rhone Valley except Michel. The results were profound -- and
quick. Today, Chapoutiers wines rank among the best in the Rhone
Valley.
Tony Terlato, chairman of Terlato Wines Inter-national, knows
the story all too well. At the insis-tence of a friend, he went to
meet with Chapoutier in 1989 when the winemaker was only 25 years
old. Chapoutier had just returned to the family
winery to save it from bankruptcy. Terlato was impressed by
Michels new releases just as his friend predicted and now imports
several of his wines to the United States. Recently, Terlato and
Chapoutier became partners in an Australian wine.
Weve been wowed by these Rhone Valley wines for years. The
uniqueness of these wines and their quality are consistent.
In particular, two white wines made from grapes grown in
southern France were absolutely stun-ning. Reasonably priced, these
wines may not use traditional grapes familiar to you, but they
deliver the Chapoutier quality for great prices.
We loved the 2013 La Ciboise ($14), named after the home of
Michels grandfather who was very influential in his life. The
grapes were grown in Luberon in the southeastern part of the Rhone
Valley. It is a simple but intense blend of gren-ache blanc, ugni
blanc, vermentino and roussanne grapes.
There also is a bright, fruity red blend for the same price that
consists of grenache, syrah and mourvedre grapes.
The 2013 Marius Blanc ($14) is named after Michels great
grandfather, whose image graces a dynamic label. Made from terret
and vermentino grapes, this Vins de Pays dOc is very floral and
lively with peach notes. Very refreshing on a sum-mer day, it makes
for a great aperitif.
The Marius Rouge, a red blend of grenache and syrah, is
surprisingly complex with intense red berry fruit and a long
finish.
An Australian adventure In 1998, Chapoutier convinced Terlato to
buy
property in Australia and two wines we recently tasted
demonstrate their success there.
The 2011 Lieu dit Malakoff Shiraz ($50) from Central Victoria is
a soft-textured wine with a medium body but intense, bright fruit
and balance. It is aged in French oak barrels for 10-12 months.
The 2009 L Block Shiraz ($60) is likewise made entirely of
shiraz grapes from the Pyrenees appel-lation. It has more
