The annual Elko Regional Interfaith Christmas Crche Exhibit will
be marking its 10th year by featuring handmade nativities.
All items on display are
donated by the community and until the nativities start arriving
the day before the exhibit opens, it unknown what will be displayed
each year.
Since handmade is a broad term, the featured nativities, as well
as the more com-mercial nativities, could be anything from a craft
to fine art. The call went out earlier for individuals and groups
to make items to display at this
years event.While the organizers hope
that many will have taken the opportunity to create or make
something new, many handmade nativities have
been on display previously, and will again be displayed this
year.
The Interfaith Crche Exhibit is open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.,
Thursday,
December 4 through Sunday, December 7 in Elko at the Elko Nevada
West Stake Cen-ter of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints, 3001 North 5th Street.
Along with the exhibit and display of hundreds of nativities,
there will be a live re-enactment of the Christ-mas nativity story,
Thursday and Friday evenings from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturday
from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Musical performances are also scheduled throughout the event.
There is no charge to attend any part of the exhibit.

The approximate-ly 25-member Winnemucca Civic Chorus is putting
together the list for their Christmas Choir Fest, and inviting
others who enjoy music and performing groups or individuals to be
involved with their Christ-mas Choir Fest.
Well be hosting our annual Christmas Choir Fest Dec. 5, at 7 pm
and Dec. 6 at 2 pm at the First Baptist Church on Fifth and
Garri-son, said choir director Joan Munk.
Its fun to bring different musical groups and individu-als
together for one concert,
she said. We can enjoy lis-tening to each other as well as
entertaining our friends, family, and community.
In the past weve had participation from Lovelock and weve
invited perform-ers from Elko too, she said, adding she doesnt know
who may answer the groups invitation this year.
Each musical group or individual performs one to three pieces
and weve had 10-12 different performanc-es, including solo numbers
and instrumental groups, and including some very talented young
people. said Munk. The Winnemucca Civic Chorus wraps up with
several numbers.
Munk said she enjoys directing the chorus, which
performs a number of pro-grams during the year.
Even the practices are a lot of fun, she said. We like to call
it our Thursday night therapy.
The Christmas Choir Fest will feature Christmas num-bers many
traditional but some audiences will enjoy hearing for the first
time.
Weve sent out invitation letters to those whove been involved
before, but if there is anyone else out there inter-ested wed love
to hear from you, Munk said, personal-izing the invitation. Anyone
interested in performing at the Choir Fest December 5 and 6 can
contact Leann Barta at 623-0767 or email

The Guess Who bring their own particular blend of Canadian
classic rock to Wendover for a Dec. 19 show. Tick-ets are $10 to
$30.
While the Guess Who did have several hits in Ameri-ca, they were
superstars in their home country of Canada during the 1960s and
early 70s.
The band grew out of
vocalist/guitarist Chad Allan (born Allan Kobel) and guitar-ist
Randy Bachmans Winni-peg-based group Chad Allan and the
Expressions, originally known as first the Silvertones and then the
Reflections.
When the Expressions recorded an entire album of the same name,
its record company, Quality, listed their name as Guess Who? on the
jacket, hoping to fool record buyers into thinking
that the British Invasion-in-fluenced music was actually by a
more famous group in disguise. The surprise name stuck, and history
was born.
In 1969, the group returned to the American charts with a Top
Ten hit These Eyes.
The album that song appears on, Canned Wheat Packed by the Guess
Who produced three Top 40 sin-gles later that year. In 1970,
the Guess Who released the cuttingly sarcastic riff-rocker
American Woman, which, given its anti-American put-downs,
ironically became their only U.S. chart-topper. The album of the
same name became their first U.S. Top Ten and first gold album.
Guitarist Bachman left the group in the early 1970s (later
forming Bachman-Turner Overdrive) and was replaced by Kurt Winter
and Greg Leskiw.
After taking a hiatus from 1975 - 1983, the group is now touring
in support of a live album - featuring the best of these
well-seasoned musicians on stages large and small around Canada and
the United States.

Remember when Stephen King announced that he was retiring?
That was more than a decade and at least six books ago, and hes
done nothing but crank out best-sellers ever since.
The latest novel is appro-priately titled Revival, for it marks
a return to true horror for the modern mas-ter of the genre.
There are no soul-suck-ing vampires as in Doc-tor Sleep, or
speculative historical fiction about the assassination of John F.
Kennedy as in 11/22/63.
Revival spans half a cen-tury, but at its heart are a young boy
Jamie Morton
and a New England pas-tor named the Rev. Charles Jacobs who
captivates him from the moment they meet in 1962.
The plot is set in motion when the good reverend starts to heal
the sick using something he calls an Elec-trical Nerve
Stimulator.
Over the years, as he ducks in and out of narrator Jamies life,
he learns how to harness electricity to a greater and greater
degree until hes literally ready to revive the dead.
Its no fun spoiling all the scares, but heres a phrase spoken by
Jacobs to Jamie early in the novel that neatly sums it up: The road
to hell is paved with good intentions. And lit
with electric lights.King fans wont find
anything to complain about here. At just over 400 pages its one
of his quicker reads and any hint of the super-natural is blended
with ten-der moments that ground the characters.
Home is the place where they want you to stay longer, narrates
Jamie as he returns to the Maine town where his doomed relationship
with Jacobs began.
If this is your first King novel, its not a bad choice. You dont
need to know anything about his oeuvre coming in, and if you like
the writing style, there are dozens of other King books youll
probably enjoy. F

Before the Big Bonanza: Dan De Quilles Early Comstock
Accounts
By Donnelyn Curtis and Lawrence I. Berkove
The discovery and mining of the Com-stock Lode in Nevada forever
changed the min-ing culture of the Ameri-can West.
Using the pen name Dan De Quille, in 1876 William Wright
published The Big
Bonanza, the best-known contemporary account of
the Comstock Lode mines.
Previously, howev-er, in nearly 50 news-paper accounts from 1860
to 1863, De Quille had document-ed the development of the early
Comstock with a frankness, abundance of detail, sense of
immedia-cy, and excitement. Donnelyn Curtis and Lawrence I. Berkove
have gathered those accounts for the first time in Before The Big
Bonanza.

Australias Penfolds home of prestigious wines
Its hard to determine where Peter Gago draws his energy. October
was a whis-tle-stop tour of Washington, D.C., New York City and Los
Angeles.
Previously, the chief winemaker for Penfolds was leading
recorking clinics around the world and spending time in Beijing,
Singapore, London and Hamburg.
Then there was the little business of making some of Australias
most prestigious wines. A ridiculous pace like this is challenging
for a cheetah, but just another day for the infatiguable Australian
icon.
When he caught up with him during an over-night stay in
Washington, Gago was on his game, waxing enthusiasm for Adelaides
most venerable labels and helping wine writers understand the
seemingly endless chess game played by his coun-trys merging wine
moguls.
Penfolds, like most of the Australian wine indus-try, has
undergone so many management changes in the last decade that you
need a special app to keep track of them. It was renamed Southcorp
in 1994 and soon merged with the unimpressive Rosemount Estate a
year later. Fosters bought Southcorp in 2005 and renamed a growing

Treasury even acquired iconic U.S. brands, includ-ing Beringer,
Chateau St. Jean and Stags Leap Wine Cellars. It is hard to imagine
how anything of quality could survive such upheaval.
After TWE went public in 2011, we feared the great wines being
produced by Penfolds would become products of a board of directors
more focused on prof-its than wine. Worse, would the genius of
Peter Gago survive?
Were happy to report that the wines and Peter have emerged from
this upheaval intact and pros-pering in an even more competitive
environment.
The wines we tasted during our meeting were from a special
collection that showcases the producers best efforts. Not unlike
the wines made in Champagne, these products seek a consistent style
from year to year. They are spared the fads and manipulations that
are popular-ly adopted by emerging winemakers seeking attention.
Even the labels have changed little. Putting quality over quantity
is a course not easy to take when stock holders seek a stronger
return on their investment.
The most famous of these brands is Grange, indis-putably the
worlds most renown shiraz first created in 1951 against managements
wishes. The house style of this wine hasnt changed from the day it
was born: fully ripe grapes, depth and complexity, texture and
balance. Such greatness doesnt come without a price the 2010
release will cost you $850 for one bottle. Forget about buying a
case, because youre not likely to find one in this country.
Fortunately, there are prestigious bottles in the Penfolds
collection that are less expensive but still a stretch for most
consumers.
The 2012 Penfolds Bin 407 Cab-ernet Sauvignon ($69) is an
extraor-dinary wine with dark fruit, meaty char-acter, gritty
tannins and notes of black olives and oak. For the same price you
can get a some shiraz blended with your cabernet sauvignon in an
alluring 2012 Penfolds Bin 389.
If you like your shiraz complex but less expensive than Grange,
consider the Penfolds RWT Shiraz ($150) or the St. Henri Shiraz
($99). St. Henri has a popular following in Australia, but for us
it doesnt hold up to the more viscous and rich RWT.
Penfolds doesnt make just presti-gious red wine. We really
enjoyed an ageworthy 2012 Yattarna chardon-nay ($130) that uses a
good dose of grapes from Tasmania. Its complexity and restrained
oak with layered peach and pear fruit gave us much to think about
as the wine hovered endless-ly over our tongues. It is in an elite
chardonnay category equal to great Burgundy.
Perhaps these wines are out of reach for many of you, but their
quality represent what you can expect from Penfolds and suggest
that even its low-er-priced wines deliver similar quality.
For instance, the 2012 Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz ($30) is a
great value. Its medium body exudes elegance and fresh fruit
character with classic dark berry and chocolate notes.
If you like riesling, the 2014 Pen-folds Bin 51 Eden Valley
Riesling ($40) is very aromatic and a sumptu-ous match to elegant
fish dishes. F

Wine by the Numbers Consumers are often preoccupied with
numbers. How many glasses of wine a day is healthy? What is the
average?
Does my cellar exceed the number of wines stored by the average
American? Even consumption by country has become a talking point --
especially among producers who sop up consumer trends like a
sponge.
Wine consumption on the upswing
Wine consumption is increasing in the United States and
depending on your views, this trend is either encouraging or
embarrassing.
The United States now drinks more wine than any other
nation.
Consumption is up 1 per-cent over 2012 and 18 per-cent over
2005. Part of the reason is that the younger generations in the
U.S. are embracing wine while the same generations in other
countries notably France and Italy are not.
Even though the U.S. is at the top of the heap in total volume
of wine purchased 329 million cases in 2013 per capita consumption
is not the highest in the world. The 836 residents of Vatican City
hold that record 19 gallons a person. We suspect sacramental wine
has much to do with that.
Per capita wine consump-tion in the U.S. is up near-ly 16
percent since 2009. Thats a lot better than in France the epicenter
of wine where consumption is down 7 percent.
Americans consumed about 2.8 gallons per capita in 2013,
according to the Wine Institute, and thats up
from 1.3 gallons in 1970. We hope you are pulling your share.
Although Frances con-sumption is steadily dropping, in 2012 the
per-capita con-sumption was still 11 gallons.
Italy once held title to the most wine consumed per per-son, but
in 2012 the per-cap-ita consumption was only 9 gallons. They
obviously are not holding up their end of the stick.
Imports hold their own in the market The United States is still
a
big market for international wine producers it accounts for 13
percent of the global wine market.
Which state is sucking up the most wine? All of those
politicians and lobbyists in Washington, D.C. contribute
significantly to the incredible 26 gallons per resident. Of course,
they probably arent the ones doing the drinking its the visiting
windbags.
The cold winters of the Northeast surely helps New Hampshire (5
gallons per capita) and Vermont (4 gal-lons per capita) to earn the
top second and third states respectively. Maryland is about 2
gallons a person.
Kansas, Utah and Missis-sippi are at the bottom.
There are a lot of numbers here and most of them are meaningless
to wine enthu-siasts who prefer to focus on their own consumption
habits. On that issue, you be the judge.
Here are some wines to help you along:
E. Guigal Gigondas 2010 ($30). This is a beauti-ful, vibrant
blend of grenache (70 percent), mouvedre and syrah. From one of the
most reputable and consistent pro-ducers in the Rhone Valley, the
gigondas offers up bright raspberry and dark berry fruit with
earthy and licorice notes. Youd be hard pressed to find a better
full-bodied Rhone wine at this price.
Ponzi Vineyards Reserve Pinot Noir 2012 ($60). Dark plum flavors
with dashes of chocolate and expresso dominate this lux-urious and
full-bodied pinot noir from the Willamette Val-ley. Winemaker Luisa
Ponzi has scored another hit in her vast array of top-drawer pinot
noirs.
Benziger Family Win-ery Sauvignon Blanc 2012 ($15). Its never
wrong to drink a sauvignon blanc in the fall. Often associated with
spring, the crisp and often tart sauvignon blanc reminds one of
freshly mowed lawn or the clean smells of dew-covered flowers.
Grapefruit and lime dominate the palate.
Layer Cake Sea of Stones Red Wine 2012 ($15). This special blend
of malbec, cab-ernet sauvignon, syrah and petit verdot will make
your head spin in a pleasant sort of way. The motley collection of
grapes produce layers of dense fruit that reminds us of blueberry
pie.
Alamos Red Blend 2013 ($13). This Argentine pro-ducer makes
reliable wines across the board. This deli-cious blend of malbac,
bonar-da, tempranillo and syrah is always a hit in a crowd. Lots of
fruit, including cherries, plums and strawberries. F
Folonari Chianti is a ripe and juicy choice for poultry
dishes
The Folonari Chianti is a Tuscan treasure and 100 percent
Italian. The beautiful dark red wine is made using Sangiovese
grapes sourced from Italys most well-known wine producing area, the
Chianti region. With juicy flavors and fragrant aro-mas, this wine
is fresh, fruity, full and harmonious, with blackberry and
raspberry notes and toasted almond notes on the finish.
Pair with veal, pork, pizza, pasta with meat sauce or your
favorite poultry dish.
The history of Folonari dates from 1825, when Francesco Folonari
founded the firm in Valcamonica in the Veneto. He and his sons
estab-lished one of Italys first winemaking facilities. They
pioneered the produc-tion and distribution of wine in bottle, thus
making it possible for consumers to drink wines of good and
constant quality on an everyday basis.
