Diocese: Assumption School closing due to enrollment

B

ishop George V. Murry, S.J., has accepted the recommendation of the Office of Catholic Schools, in conjunction with the pastor of Assumption Parish, Rev. Robert Lanterman, that Assumption School close at the end of the current school year.

Declining enrollment is cited as the primary reason for the closure. Between the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 school year, the school dropped enrollment by 33 percent.

The latest effort agreed upon last summer

to strengthen the school by focusing on grades pre-kindergarten through grade 3 yielded uneven results, with 13 students in pre-k, 21 in kindergarten, seven in grade one, and a combined total of five students in grades two and three.

Acting Superintendent of Schools, Mary Fiala, said that despite marketing and community efforts to reverse the loss of enrollment, the reality is that the school cannot remain financially viable.

Lanterman said that “while he regrets that Assumption School needs to close, he is hopeful that the families in Geneva will strongly consider the opportunity to continue the Catholic education of their children at St. John School in Ashtabula.”

St. John School was scheduled to host a parent information night for Assumption parents on Feb. 19. Families are also encouraged to call St. John’s to set up an individual appointment and tour at another time by calling 440-997-5831. For information contact Fiala at 330-744-8451.

Jennifer Neal of Eos Whole Fitness; “Piloxing” with Angela Lubonovich; “Burlesque Fit” with Deb of Classroom Aerobics; “Dancing Mindfulness” with Dr. Jamie Marich; “Hoop Groove” with Katie Morris of InfiniTribe; and “Zumba Dance Party” with Sam of Eos Whole Fitness and other area teachers. ◆ 10 a.m.-5 p.m. – The common space of Calvin Center and the Rust Belt Theater Chapel will offer an art sale and silent auction. It will feature local artists and vendors Robert Joki, Little Hummingbird Designs, Medusa’s Adornments & Arcana, Amplified Arts, Mahoning Valley Birth Center, Dream in Color Jewlery, the Vitamin Shoppe, Healing Flower, Joannabelle, The Enchanted Alchemist, Babb’s Bakery, the Sassy Trashionista, and others. ◆ 7:30 p.m.-midnight – Soiree in the Chapel, featuring performances by InfiniTribe, Third Street Belly Dance, Celena Coven, Marisa Zamary, Bernadette Lim, Katie O’Neill, Shiloh Hawkins and the Tribe of Eos. All proceeds will be donated to the Silver Lining Cancer Fund in the name of Charyl L. Grbinick, who passed away March 1, 2012 from ovarian cancer. Previous events to benefit the fund were held and organized by Charyl’s daughter, Samantha Grbinick, and Jennifer Neal, owner of Eos Whole Fitness.

The goal of the benefit is to celebrate Charyl’s life by helping others in need through events like “The Good Life Fest.”

Tickets are a suggested donation of $10 and can be purchased at the door or in advance via PayPal to sunrise@thedanceofeos.com with “TGLF Donation” in the subject line.

WKBN’s new set debuted on Feb. 12 during the 5 p.m. broadcast

WKBN debuts revamped set with technology upgrades Last month, WKBN-TV launched a high-tech way of presenting news to viewers in the Mahoning and Shenango valleys. The new look was launched on WKBN 27 First News on Feb. 12.

“I am so happy that our company has decided to roll out this concept and new technology in Youngstown. It’s a huge commitment,” said WKBN-TV President/GM David Coy. “WKBN has always been a leader in new technology, going back to the early 1950s, as Youngstown’s first TV station, and that tradition continues today.”

This redesign for WKBN-TV has been nearly a year in the making, beginning with an analysis of WKBN 27’s brand and the Youngstown market. The process continued with a team of award-winning designers from across the country who worked on everything from set design and lighting, to a new logo and animated graphics.

CESS award, grantseekers attend orientation, submit an application, match the requested grant amount with contributions that may include volunteer labor, cash and/ or in-kind donations of goods and services and participate in an interview. A Resident Council, broadly representing Warren and Youngstown residents, guides the program and makes final funding decisions.

The 2015 grant recipients include The Perkin Rose Garden Revitalization proposed by the Historic Perkins Homestead Neighborhood Association. The $5,000 grant award funds the installation of benches, assorted perennials and trees as Phase 4 of the revitalization of the Perkins Rose Garden. The Mahoning Valley Sojourn to the Past received $5,000 for “Sojourn to the Past,” a week-long leadership development program for 15 high school students that focuses on Civil Rights history in the South. Stop One Place Help is Available, Inc. also received a $5,000 grant to provide relief to underprivileged residents of Warren, with guidance and direction for immediate needs and emergency monetary assistance.

Over the past six years, Neighborhood SUCCESS has provided more than $1.2 million to over 375 groups. More information can be found at www.rjweanfdn.org/neighborhood-success-and-leadership-program.

The set utilizes virtual and augmented reality elements, computer-generated designs that are layered on real scenic elements. Pioneering this new set, WKBN is one of the only local broadcast stations in the entire country to utilize this technology.

“This new studio is more than a new look, it helps us to gather and cover news better. First News anchors and reporters have more opportunities in this environment to explain stories, to go into more detail with a large variety of graphics and to show our viewers live video and late-breaking stories much quicker,” said WKBN-TV News Director Mitch Davis.

The array of changes to WKBN-TV gives the station a modern take on the traditional newscast. Using state-of-the-art technology, the new look is both dynamic and flexible, allowing the station an unlimited amount of options for continuous design enhancements.

Worldwide, a child is diagnosed with cancer every three minutes, and one in five children diagnosed in the U.S. will not survive. With only 4 percent of all federal cancer research funding dedicated to pediatric cancer research, St. Baldrick’s Foundation volunteers, supporters and donors are needed to continue the battle against this devastating disease.

Last year’s event raised $4,729 for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, bringing the event’s three-year total to $26,380. The St. Baldrick’s Head Shaving Fundraiser kicks off the St. Patrick’s Day week at O’Donald’s Irish Pub. About the foundation – The St. Baldrick’s Foundation is a volunteer-driven charity committed to funding the most promising research to find cures for childhood cancers and give survivors long and healthy lives. Since 2005, St. Baldrick’s has awarded more than $101 million to support lifesaving research, making the foundation the largest private funder of childhood cancer research grants. St. Baldrick’s funds are granted to some of the most brilliant childhood cancer research experts in the world and to younger professionals who will be the experts of tomorrow. Funds awarded also enable hundreds of local institutions to participate in national pediatric cancer clinical trials, which may be a child’s best hope for a cure.

Trumbull Hospice Trust seeking grant proposals

T

he Hospice Trust of Trumbull County,

a new source of financial support for hospice-related services in the county, plans to announce its second round of grants later this year and is welcoming proposals.

The Hospice Trust, with $2.2 million in assets, was repurposed and re-established recently to carry on the charitable work of the Visiting Nurse Association of Trumbull County Hospice Trust, which became inactive after the local VNA stopped operating in January 2012.

Those interested in applying for a grant must complete an application by April 1. An online application form can be accessed from the Apply for a Grant section of the Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley website, located at www.cfmv.org.

Hospice Trust Chairman Robert Hoy said the trust expects to approve up to $100,000 in grants this year.

“We are very excited about restoring this source of funding for local hospice care, education and other services,” Hoy said.

“Although the predecessor trust has been inactive, people and families who had donated or made gifts to that trust since its creation in 1982 should be aware that the trust is once again supporting hospice care, end-of-life care and grief counseling.”

The Hospice Trust of Trumbull County is a component fund of the Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley, which enhances the quality of life for residents and future generations of the Mahoning Valley by managing donor assets, distributing grants and advancing philanthropy and good works. The foundation, with its affiliates, holds more than $56 million in assets and distributed more than $1 million in grants during its 2014 fiscal year.

It is the only local foundation with certification from the Community Foundation National Standards Board. More information is available at the foundation’s website, www.cfmv.org.

Convention Bureau unveils Mahoning County video

T

he Mahoning County Convention and Visitors Bureau recently unveiled its

Video Tour of Youngstown & Mahoning County. This full length, in-depth video highlights many of the things to do and see in Mahoning County.

Local attractions, including Mill Creek MetroParks, OH WOW! Children’s Center, the Youngstown Historical Center of Industry and Labor, and Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course are featured in the video. The local arts are emphasized with the Youngstown Symphony Orchestra, Youngstown Playhouse, Opera Western Reserve, and the Butler Institute of American Art. The video also highlights festivals and fairs, local cuisine, wineries and golf courses, all showcasing Youngstown & Mahoning County as a great destination for a weekend getaway.

“We feel this video will complement the short “teaser” video that is on our website homepage,” said Linda Macala, executive director of the CVB. “When we first started this project, it quickly became apparent that there was so much to highlight, it would be very difficult to do a good representation in a short, two-minute video. Therefore, we decided to place a short version on our homepage to give people a quick look, and also provide an easy link to the full-length video. We are hoping people will like what they see in the short version, and will want to take the time to learn more about our area by viewing the in-depth video.”

Both videos feature award-winning actor Ed O’Neill, world-boxing champion Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini, international fashion designer Nanette Lepore, YSU President Jim Tressel and Ellen Tressel,

and Youngstown State University Head Football Coach Bo Pelini.

The Video Tour can be found on the About page of the CVB’s website at www. youngstownlive.com/about-us. People can also follow the CVB @YoungstownLive for the latest news and events on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.

n event in late February kicked off the second year of a partnership between The Robins Project and The New School in New York City. Students visited the city and discussed how the restoration of Robins Theater space could serve as a catalyst to revitalize downtown Warren.

Residents of the central city and others interested in the project were invited to attend an interactive discussion and design charrette with The New School and Kent State students on Feb. 21 at the YWCA Warren.

The Robins Project is a grassroots effort to restore the former Robins Theater space, which has been long-identified as a catalyst for local growth. Last year students from The New School Urban Collaborative (Milano Finance Lab + Parsons School of Design Strategies) proposed ideas for what they deem an Integral City.

Their plans included financing options and proposals for how the now vacant Robins building could be used, as well as design interventions to create a more vibrant downtown.

Last summer, one of the recommended strategies, “Commons Fest,” debuted on Courthouse Square. The festival was intended as a reclamation of “the commons,” in which citizens participated in hands-on learning activities sponsored by area nonprofits, to introduce them to change-makers within the community, thus presenting an opportunity for future involvement.

This year’s partnership has expanded to include Trumbull Neighborhood Partnership. The visiting students were scheduled to connect with architecture majors from Kent State University, who will be generating ideas for vacant lots in the Garden District.

Both groups of students will imagine a number of interventions and design strategies for downtown Warren through commu-

nity engagement and participatory research methods. Similar to last year, The Robins Project hopes to implement some of the recommended strategies this summer.

The collaboration between the New School Urban Collaborative and Warren will map a long-term strategy and capacity for community development, while advancing a new understanding of integrated design and community finance that supports further work in the community development field.

The Robins Project is a grassroots effort to restore the former Robins Theater space.

If you are interested in becoming involved in the partnership between The Robins Project and The New School, consider joining the organization’s Special Projects Committee. The organizers of the project are currently seeking working group members to join the following committees: Renovation, Marketing and Public Relations, Volunteers Outreach and Management, Fundraising and Development, Special Projects, and Research.

Northside appoints Rich to chief medical officer

V

alleyCare Health System of Ohio has announced the appointment of Paul Rich, M.D., as chief medical officer for Northside Medical Center.

“Dr. Rich’s passion for quality patient care, deep relationships with area physicians and established tenure with the hospital make him an excellent fit for this position,” said Trent Crable, Northside Medical Center chief executive officer.

Board certified in family medicine, Rich received his medical degree from the Medical College of Ohio at Toledo and completed his internship and residency training at Northside Medical Center. He is a Girard native and lifelong area resident who has been practicing medicine for over 15 years.

“I take great pride in being from this area,” Rich said. “I completed my medical training right here at Northside, where we have outstanding physicians, nurses and staff – all good people who are dedicated to providing compassionate care to our patients and supporting our hospital’s continued commitment to the Mahoning Valley.”

In his new role, Rich’s responsibilities will include leading and implementing the clinical direction for the organization, and cultivating the relationship between the hospital and its medical staff.

Rich is also the director of the Family Medicine Residency Program at Northside, and said that he wants to retain more residents from the program, as well as recruit residents from the Midwest. “Graduate Medical Education is very important to me,” said Rich. “I want to help facilitate bringing bright, energetic physicians here to practice. This will benefit the hospital, as well as our community.”

Anti-hunger groups discuss summer meals for needy

n Ohio, more than 787,000 school-aged children participate in the National School Lunch Program, receiving free or subsidized school meals during the school year. The federal Summer Food Service Program is designed to help those same children access healthy meals during the summer months.

“There are a lot of potential barriers to making the program work. We recognize those barriers and are working with our state and national partners to address them. But we also know that many communities are putting this program to work for their kids, and we want to elevate their success.”

About 150 federal, state and local stakeholders came together last month for the fourth annual statewide Summer Food Service Summit, held at the Mid-Ohio Foodbank in Grove City. Attendees heard about national best practices from representatives from the USDA Food and Nutrition Service and best practices from some of their Ohio peers. Attendees also received updates and information from the Ohio Department of Education’s Office of Child Nutrition.

As federal Child Nutrition Reauthorization approaches in September 2015, the Ohio Association of Foodbanks also called on attendees to remain engaged and make legislators aware of the needs of their programs and the children they serve.

“We need your continued hard work to make the summer food program work for the kids that you serve,” said Hamler-Fugitt. “We also need your voice in the coming months to offer your recommendations to improve the program as Child Nutrition Reauthorization nears. We need you to stay vigilant and work with us to protect all sources of nutrition for children, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which is under attack on so many fronts.”

Fallen City Writers releases new anthology

BY MARK C. PEYKO

On March 4, contributors will read their work during a special literary event at Suzie’s Dogs and Drafts in downtown Youngstown.

METRO MONTHLY EDITOR

M

embers of a longtime Youngstown writing workshop recently released the “Fallen City Writers Anthology.” The 126-page volume features 84 works from the workshop, which was founded by Frank Polite, a celebrated poet and writer from Youngstown.

The anthology includes works from the early 1980s to pieces written after Polite’s death in 2005. “I think it’s a good representation of the poetry that came through several different incarnations of Frank’s poetry workshops,” said Douglas Wiesen, who helped assemble the anthology. Wiesen’s poem, “Cosmo,” a warm and playful tribute to Polite, closes out the collection.

On Wednesday, March 4, contributors will read their work during a special literary event at Suzie’s Dogs and Drafts in downtown Youngstown. The reading, which begins at 7 p.m., is scheduled to include Bill Koch, Joe Allgren, George Peffer, Jeanne Mahon and Susan M. Wojnar.

“We had kind of entertained the idea of an anthology and we got a little more serious,” said Dorothea Polite, who helped edit and organize the project. “There were numerous meetings. There was a group of about five of us and we started collecting material and contacting all the writers over the years that had been involved in the workshop and we got them all together and got feedback.”

Polite said the volume reflects the di-

verse backgrounds of the writers in the workshop, which she continues to facilitate. “We come from all different walks of life. Yeah, that diversity is really key to keeping this project moving along. Everybody’s input, everybody’s different style.

That exposure to writing. Some write professionally, some don’t – so it’s been a nice collection of people.”

“It’s always attracted some pretty good writers and we’re kind of proud of the ones who have come out of it and gone to

different places,” said Jeanne Mahon.

“If you were in Frank’s workshop, it was a trouble in some ways and a delight in others because he was so demanding,” said Wiesen. “Excellence in writing was what Frank was all about, period. That’s really what he devoted his whole life to. That’s what you got when you got his opinion.”

“Frank loved the written word. He loved poetry, he loved writing and that’s what he did. And so to give what you love to others and have it come through for them that’s a great gift. He did it because he loved it,” said Polite.

Many of the writers who were interviewed about the anthology said Polite’s workshops gave them the courage to find their voice. “It was important to be original and Frank always encouraged that,” said Neno Perrotta, who submitted three poems. “He always stressed, don’t be concerned with comparing yourself to other people’s writing and have faith in your own writing, in your own view of things.”

“He had a gift for encouraging each writer to speak with their own voice,” added Mahon. “I really don’t know how he did it. We all appreciated different styles, and, I guess, if you read the anthology, you can tell that nobody’s the same, really.”

Newly formed Lit Youngstown announces writing workshops, monthly readings

L

it Youngstown, a recently formed literary organization, is announcing its first slate of creative writing workshops as well as monthly readings that will feature the works of local writers.

The group plans to offer 12-15 classes per year for a range of ages and levels of experience.

Founder Karen Schubert said she saw a gap in local literature. As the author of published poetry, Schubert is frequently asked about writing groups and classes or just places where writers and lovers of literature can find more information about local goings-on. From these inquiries, Lit Youngstown was born.

“I was facilitating a writers workshop at Fellows Riverside Garden, and we had writers of every interest and experience level. It occurred to me that there was either a need here for more opportunities, or for letting people know what’s already happening. Maybe both.”

Enrollment is now open for the first slate of

courses, workshops in storytelling (led by Liz Hill), writing prose poetry (led by Nin Andrews and Karen Schubert), song writing (led by Jon Locketti) and a prose writers roundtable (led by Christine Davidson). All courses were set to begin this month.

Unique to Lit Youngstown is that courses are offered at various locations around the community including The Café at Wittenauer’s in Poland, Oak Hill Collaborative on the South Side, and the First Unitarian Universalist Church on the North Side.

Schubert says it is part of the group’s mission to be a visible presence in the community. “We want to offer classes and projects throughout the community, to be seen as a community resource.”

Registration for courses is available through Lit Youngstown website LitYoungstown.wordpress. com. The website also includes Kickstand Poetry, an online poetry book club.

“Today’s poets are doing incredible work, and I want to share the books I love with other poetry

readers, and also to read poetry that’s new to me.

It’s a pleasure reading the poems, and an added pleasure to talk to others who have read them.”

In addition, local writing will be showcased at monthly readings and open mike nights at 7 p.m. on the first Wednesday of every month at Suzie’s Dogs and Drafts. The kick-off event, on March 4, will feature the works of Fallen City Writers and their recent anthology followed by an hour-long open reading.

Schubert says that a goal of Lit Youngstown is to engage writers from across the community and offer them a literary “home.” Courses will be created based on writer interest, and proposals from potential instructors are accepted on a rolling basis.

RESTAURANTS

Cold weather fails to deter wine aficionados

L

ate January and February with all its cold weather provided a number of great wine dinners and store tastings. On Jan. 27, Springfield Grille held a ski lodge wine dinner showcasing the respected Clos du Bois winery from California’s north coast.

Our first course was crispy fried spaetzle balls (noodle dough) set atop caramelized onions and roasted artichokes. Clos du Bois’ 2012 Unoaked North Coast Chardonnay was chosen to go with the rich spaetzle balls. Crisp citrus fruit flavors and a tight defined finish really worked well with this entrée. Clos du Bois’ 2013 Sauvignon Blanc was poured for our next entrée of smoked salmon.

Being a fan of smoked salmon, I was very impressed with how well the zesty grapefruit tinged Sauvignon Blanc from Clos du Bois worked with this great dish. I can’t wait to bring home some smoked salmon from the grocery and pop a bottle of this well-priced Sauvignon Blanc.

Our next entree was a bread bowl filled with the Grille’s outstanding bison chili topped with cheddar cheese. A velvety 2011 Clos du Bois Merlot was picked to go with this spicy dish. With a splash of Syrah and Petite Verdot for backbone, it paired well with the flavorful bison chili.

Our second red wine of the evening was Clos du Bois’ 2012 Zinfandel. Deep red in color with ripe plum and cherry flavors, it was just the answer for our main dish of Colorado lamb chops served over roasted tomato polenta.

Campfire “s’mores” served with fresh fruit and cayenne-tinged fudge sauce for dipping was paired to the Clos de Bois 2012 Rouge Red Blend. The rich taste of the marshmallow, chocolate and graham cracker s’mores needed an equally full-bodied red, and the Rouge blend was a perfect match. This was the first tasting organized by the Grille’s new wine manager Tom Smith, and I thought he did a wonderful job.

The next wine event I attended was also hosted by the Springfield Grille. Their “Romance” wine dinner held on Valentine’s Day featured California’s Darcie Kent Winery, and I was very impressed by their lineup of wines.

A “Four Play” seafood cocktail featuring ahi tuna, sea scallop, shrimp and jumbo lump crab drizzled in pineapple wasabi aioli was paired to Darcie Kent’s 2011 Sauvignon Blanc from Monterey County. Crisp clean citrus tinged fruit flavors worked wonderfully with this delicious dish.

Our next entree was a “Lovers” pear bruschetta consisting of finely diced pears topped with pancetta bacon on toasted crostinis. Darcie Kent’s 2012 Chardonnay produced from central coast fruit was chosen to go with the tasty bruschetta. A subtle touch of oak on this fruitforward Chardonnay was a nice match for the toasty bruschetta.

A “Passionate” greens salad dotted with pistachios and drizzled with ginger-passion fruit vinaigrette was our next entrée. Darcie Kent’s 2011

Chookie Alberini (left) performed with his band at the annual Mardi Gras celebration last month at Vernon’s Cafe.

Vernon Cesta is pictured on the right.

Fat Tuesday in the Mahoning Valley always means outstanding food and wine at Vernon’s Cafe in Niles. I’ve covered their Mardi Gras event in previous years, and Vernon Cesta continues to provide one of the finest Cajun-style food and wine tasting this side of New Orleans.

Tables filled with so many tempting choices made it hard to choose between grilled salmon, oysters, blackened catfish, carved sirloin and turkey, jambalaya, pasta dishes, gourmet meatballs and other tasty offerings, along with the dessert variety.

Vernon’s sommelier Dennis Huston met me at the door, and I asked for his recommendations. He pointed me toward the 2005 Cono Sur Chardonnay from Chile as it was already a crowd favorite in peril of running out. He was right about how good it was.

Green apple and citrus fruit flavors gave way to a creamy finish that was outstanding with the grilled salmon and jambalaya.

Another great Chardonnay being poured was the

Pinot Noir from Monterey County was chosen

2012 St. Francis Winery and Vineyard from Sonoma

to go with this unique salad. Classic cherry and strawberry fruit flavors with a hint of spice and smoke on the finish made this a great pairing.

Our main course was succulent sliced beef tenderloin served over fingerling potatoes. The wine match for this delicious dish was Darcie

Kent’s 2010 Madden Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon from Livermore Valley, Calif. Livermore Valley is the source of some of California’s finest Cabernets and the Madden Ranch is a fine rendition.

Textbook Cabernet red fruit flavors and a long lush smoke and spice-tinged finish complemented the Grille’s delicious beef tenderloin.

Darcie Kent’s 2011 Central Coast Cabernet Sauvignon was chosen to go with our dessert course of “molten Love” chocolate lava cake with housemade amaretto ice cream. This super-rich dessert needed an equally rich red wine to go with it, and this Cab filled the bill nicely. Lush and round red fruit flavors and a long clean finish made this a great finale to our Valentine’s dinner.

I’d like to thank the Springfield staff for a truly enjoyable Valentine’s dinner. Manager Tom Smith announced that on April 28, a visiting troupe from Pittsburgh will perform a murder mystery play at that month’s wine dinner, and I’m looking forward to what sounds like a fun event.

County. Textbook multi-layered flavors of apple and tropical fruit followed through to a toasty smooth finish that paired nicely to Vernon’s carved turkey.

Two other great white wines being poured here were the 2012 Wente Brothers Morning Fog Chardonnay from the Livermore Valley and the 2013 Conundrum white blend from California. Both of these whites are favorites of mine because of their consistency and good value. They both worked nicely with selections from the antipasto table.

I refilled my plate with carved sirloin, tortellini, and assorted meatballs and refilled my glass with a sample of Zin-Phomaniac Old Vine Zinfandel from Lodi, Calif. At 14.9 percent alcohol, this is a large-profile red that will go well with spicy food. Its dark red fruit flavors and spicy finish went well with the tortellini.

Another old favorite of mine was the 2011 Main Street Cabernet Sauvignon from California. The lush textured red fruit flavors and defined clean finish of this classic Cabernet went well with the carved sirloin.

Providing the music at the Fat Tuesday celebration was Chookie Alberini and his bandmates, lending to the upbeat and celebratory

THE WINE GUY JOHN WEBSTER atmosphere. I’d like to thank the dedicated Vernon’s staff for a wonderful evening.

Our local wine shops provided a number of great affordable wines last month. On Feb. 14, I attended the Cork and Cap monthly Saturday wine taste. My first pick at this month’s tasting was the consistently fine 2013 Parker Station Pinot Noir ($15.99) from a blend of vineyards from California’s Monterey County, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Barbara. This is Pinot Noir at its best, and at an affordable price as well. Bright cherry and cranberry fruit flavors lead to a cinnamon-tinged finish that would go well with carved lamb and oven-roasted vegetables. My next pick at this tasting was the 2013 Treasure Hunter “The Furious Damsel” Cabernet Sauvignon ($16.99 discounted from $19.99) from Lodi, Calif. Bright red in color, it exudes red fruit and raspberry fruit flavors leading to a lush cocoa-tinged finish that seems to go on forever.

Vintage Estate Wine and Beer held their monthly wine taste on Feb. 20, providing a number of interesting wines to report on. I started off with a glass of Lucinda and Millie 2012 Organic Chardonnay ($13.99) produced from grapes farmed in Mendocino and Lake counties. This delicious Chardonnay offers crisp apple and pear fruit flavors leading to a lively mineral-tinged finish that will make you feel you are drinking a much more costly wine.

My next pick is from the Carinena region of Spain. This region has been under grape cultivation since the third century B.C. The 2013 Picos del Montgo Garnacha (Grenache) offers intense dark cherry fruit flavors following through to a soft clean finish tinged with exotic spices.

This is one of the best value reds I’ve sampled this year, and I highly recommend it to people looking for a great bargain. If this red were from the Rhone region of France, it would be selling for three times its asking price of $8.99.

Upcoming events include a Cork & Cap April 24 dinner taste at Trumbull Country Club– call the store for details; and the Springfield Grille Murder Mystery wine taste, April 28. Regular tastings include the Upstairs Restaurant’s Wine Down, third Thursday tasting; Charlie’s Premier Wines of Howland, every Saturday; Barrel 33, every other week on Thursday, Friday and Saturday; Vintage Estate, third Saturday tasting; and Cork & Cap second Saturday tasting. If your restaurant, shop or charity event is having an upcoming wine tasting, please email me a month in advance at wineguy@ metromonthly.net.
