Leck, McBriarty to receive Heritage Awards May 4

Summit Academy to pay $705,000 for St. Pius X

D

ishop George V. Murry, S.J., Bishop of Youngstown, has accepted an offer from Summit Academy to purchase the property at St. Pius X Church in Warren for $705,000. After extensive discussion, the Pastoral and Finance Councils of Blessed John Paul II Parish asked the bishop to make the final decision whether or not to sell the church building, school building and three garages to Summit Academy. St. Pius merged with St. Joseph and Christ Our King in Warren on Aug. 1, 2011 with the new name, Blessed John Paul II Parish. Christ Our King Church has since closed. The merger was part of the Diocese of Youngstown Parish Reconfiguration Plan, which began in May, 2010. Murry said that his decision was made after extensive consultation with the Priests Council, members of the parish leadership team and parishioners. The Diocese said the decision was based on what Murry and his advisers believe to be in the best interest of the parish as a whole, not what is best for one section of the parish. By accepting the offer from Summit Academy, the parish debt of more than $500,000 will be eliminated. If the church remained open, repairs and renovations would have cost between $450,000$650,000. In addition, the new parish will be able to begin with savings in the bank and social outreach and religious education ministries will be maintained at both the St. Pius X and St. Joseph sites through an arrangement with Summit Academy. A date for the closing of the St. Pius X site will be determined after consultation with Summit Academy.

Bishop rescinds Hagan speech invitation; controversy plays out in social media sites BY MARK C. PEYKO METRO MONTHLY EDITOR

W

hen Diocese of Youngstown Bishop George V. Murry rescinded state Rep. Robert Hagan’s invitation to speak to graduates of the Mercy School of Nursing late last month, the action led to a explosion of pointed comments on social media sites like Facebook. In a prepared statement, which was released to the media at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, April 27, Murry cited Hagan’s abortion views and pro-choice voting record as some of the reasons for the action and said Hagan’s views were inconsistent with the teachings of the Catholic Church. Mercy College of Ohio is a Catholic teaching institution affiliated locally with St. Elizabeth’s Health Center in Youngstown. Its regional campus is located at 1044 Belmont Ave. at St. Elizabeth’s. In his statement, the bishop wrote: “It recently came to my attention, without any proper review by my office, that the Mercy School of Nursing, a Catholic institution, invited Representative Robert Hagan to be its commencement speaker at the Cathedral of St. Columba.� “While I respect and appreciate many of the social justice positions taken by Representative Hagan, it remains a fact that he also has consistently voted for pro-abortion legislation, policies and funding. Abortion extinguishes an unborn human life. It is an intrinsically evil action which the Catholic Church has condemned for centuries. As Catholics, we must in good conscience oppose Representative Hagan’s position in support of abortion. Therefore, I asked the Mercy School of Nursing, a Catholic sponsored institution, to rescind their invitation to Representative Hagan to speak at the Nursing School graduation.� Hagan said his planned speech topics were public service and health-care service. “I was invited sometime in February and the School of Nursing invited me,� Hagan said on Saturday in an email response to the Metro Monthly. “I will be glad to share invite, but it is in [the] Columbus office.� Hagan immediately responded to the bishop’s rescinded invitation on his Facebook page on Friday evening. “I have fought for social justice my entire life and today, I am one disappointed Catholic. After being invited to give the commencement speech at Mercy Nursing School here in Youngstown, I got a call telling me that the bishop has overruled their invite and they have rescinded the invitation because of some of the political positions I have taken. I am saddened that the work that I have done to feed the poor, clothe the naked, help cure the sick, and to bring an end to the death penalty has fallen on deaf ears. I guess being an altar boy for six years didn’t qualify me for dispensation. I will write to the bishop.� On Saturday, Hagan said he was writing a formal response to Murry. “I am working

As the controversy continued to play out over the weekend, it spurred hundreds of comments on state Rep. Robert Hagan’s Facebook page. on a letter to him as we speak to sit down for a discussion.â€? Hagan’s planned letter was apparently in response to Murry’s earlier statement where the bishop said he would agree to meet with Hagan. There, the bishop said, “I am most willing to meet with Representative Hagan to discuss his position and concerns, while, at the same time, speaking with him about the Church’s long standing teaching about the sacredness of human life in all its dimensions.â€? As the controversy continued to play out over the weekend, it spurred hundreds of comments on Hagan’s Facebook page. Although Hagan has 752 Facebook subscribers and most of the comments were favorable toward the state representative, some defended the bishop’s action and position. In one post, Nicole Zayas wrote: “I understand why the Bishop made this decision, he is not a hypocrite. He would be a hypocrite if he allowed someone who is pro-choice to represent a Catholic school. That being said, I love Bob Hagan, and I am a Roman Catholic.â€? Others had more pointed comments, which, in turn, spawned arguing within Hagan’s original thread. In one post, Joe Falcony addressed two posters whose views he opposed. “Sorry Carol‌..There are only two choices. Life or death. If you are not pro life‌.well then you get the picture. Ralph‌.they are babies‌beating hearts, and they do feel pain.â€? To which, Ralph R. Zerbonia responded: “Joe Falcony, it has nothing to do with the point, the bishops have no right interfering with our representatives in government’s responsibilities. They get a tax exemption that says they have to stay out of political influence, furthermore we have a constitutional amendment that says no laws shall be based on religion. Joe, abortion is legal, not all of our citizens believe as you do. They are entitled to full representation without having the representative intimidated by a religious fatwah.â€? By mid-weekend, Hagan was still responding to the bishop’s original media statement. In one Facebook post, he said, “I gained a great perspective of social justice from my 12 years (13) of Catholic Schools and I am fine with their dogma, but not fine with the imposition of politics in their religion.â€? Although Murry’s written statement said he would be willing to meet with Hagan, it left no room for compromise or discussion of a reversal of the rescinded invitation. Editor’s note: The Facebook posts cited in the article were left essentially unchanged to preserve meaning and a writer’s intended message.

MAHONING VALLEY NATIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION MONTH

ELECTRONIC IMAGE COURTESY OF IRON SOUP

Youngstown Sheet and Tube company houses in 1917.

Iron Soup seeks to preserve Sheet and Tube company houses BY GORDY MORGAN SPECIAL TO THE METRO MONTHLY

B

orn of a calamitous relationship between owners of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company and its workers, the Company Homes in Campbell have come upon hard times in recent years. But one resident believes that advances in environmental technology can save the historic homes—the first modern apartment complex in the world—and bring them back to their original glory. Tim Sokoloff, chairman and president of the Iron Soup Historical Preservation Company, is leading the nonprofit group in an effort to save and improve the historic structures. “Scores of stricken families with bowed heads gathered about the dying embers of what had been their homes,” wrote a Youngstown Vindicator reporter after clashes between strikers and the guards and non-striking workers at the Youngstown Sheet and Tube plant in East Youngstown erupted into a destructive rampage. The riot and fire of January 7, 1916, destroyed the business district and many of the boarding houses and shacks around the plant entrance near the Mahoning River in what is today Campbell, Ohio. Tensions were high, and the sound of gunfire sent the crowd of angry strikers who were massed around the north gate on a destructive rampage. “In plain language it was hell, pure and simple,” the reporter wrote of the scene. The men struck over working conditions and money, said Dr. Donna DeBlasio, professor of history and di-

rector of the Center for Applied History at Youngstown State University. Business was picking-up as a result of the Great War raging in Europe, but the company was not sharing the profits. The next day the National Guard came in and ended the strike. DeBlasio believes that other than getting to keep their jobs, the workers gained nothing. But hoping to prevent another such incident, company mangers implemented several reforms to improve worker relations. Because deplorable living conditions contributed to the general frustration of the workers, the Sheet and Tube, through a specially-created subsidiary called the Buckeye Land Company, in 1918 began building company-owned housing for its employees. The Sheet and Tube Company Houses were the first ever to use re-enforced concrete in domestic modular units, said DeBlasio. But she added that the company wasn’t thinking of the pioneering nature of the architecture—the structures were cheap and easy to build and, because the Buckeye Land Company would be the landlord, easy to maintain. DeBlasio says that because of an impending court case, the Sheet and Tube divested itself of the complex in the 1940s to avoid being in violation of anti-trust laws. Today, a number of the Sheet and Tube Company Houses are owned by residents, but many absentee-owners are spread across the country, said Sokoloff. There were plans to take down the complex, he said, but he started a letter-writing campaign and managed to stay the demolition for a couple of years. He felt that the homes should be preserved, he says, because “this is where modern living began.” He credits Florence Galida, who in 1976

Tim Sokoloff is leading the nonprofit group in an effort to save and improve the historic structures. published “Fascinating History of the City of Campbell,” for getting the Company Houses recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. If this had not happened, “we would not have been able to do what we did,” Sokoloff said. “She was the one who really made it possible to save these places.” Through the Iron Soup Preservation Company, Sokoloff hopes to turn the complex into energy-efficient, environment-friendly apartments called “Envirominiums,” a concept he developed. An Envirominium will, according to Sokoloff, “utilize every single bit of environmental technology available on the planet.” The overall concept is “a more intelligent power system” that will “channel power from different sources to power batteries without using a converter.” “We want to design a hydrogen generator that will run on its own and power the whole complex,” Sokoloff said. Sokoloff, an enthusiastic and passionate advocate for the future of renewable energy, sees a boom in alternate energy technology much like the one that drove the computer industry. “It’s just about smarter design, which is what every good thing in America was all about.” Sokoloff would like for these energy-efficient units to someday house college students who maintain academic excellence in environmental, medical, physical, and biological sciences—those that “would benefit humanity.” There is also one unit that is mostly original inside and is being considered for the future site of a period-

living museum, an idea DeBlasio enthusiastically endorses. The first step in the plan, Sokoloff says, is to restore the outside to the way it was. He would like to make all the facades uniform so that it looks like a neighborhood where people would want to live before he starts thinking about renting them out. To do this, the group wants to get a grant which would allow them to “board-up, clean-up, and paint all of them.” His long-term goal is to have the Iron Soup Preservation Company own all of the units and then rent them out the way the Sheet & Tube did back in the twenties and thirties. If it looks like there will be a market for housing for Marcellus Shale workers in Campbell, then Sokoloff would do a conventional fix-up to make the apartments livable. The money they get through rent would be invested in improvements for the other units. Expressing his hopes for a new era of the Company Houses, Sokoloff said he’d like to “fill this place with the people who were here in 1918; people that are moving the nation forward.” Sokoloff believes that the group’s biggest success so far has been “getting the organization together” and “making it happen.” A crew of six resident volunteers and a few people from the Work Experience program of the Mahoning County Department of Human Services constitute their maintenance crew. Including their Board of Directors and advisors, the Iron Soup Preservation Company enjoys the help of 25 volunteers.

Annika Sorenstam to speak at Athena Award dinner May 24

T

he Regional Chamber is announcing that Annika Sorenstam, regarded as the greatest female golfer of her generation, will keynote the Athena Award dinner at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 24, at Mr. Anthony’s in Boardman. The event, coSORENSTAM sponsored by The Vindicator/ vindy.com, marks the twentieth anniversary of the program celebrating professional women in the

Mahoning Valley. During her 15-year Hall of Fame career, Sorenstam rewrote the LPGA and Ladies European Tour record books, won countless awards and changed the way women’s golf was played, viewed and covered. She amassed 89 worldwide professional victories, including 72 LPGA wins, 10 of which are major championships. Sorenstam stepped away from professional golf after the 2008 season to focus on her family and her collection of businesses and enterprises, including the Annika Academy, Annika Financial Group, Annika Course Design, the Annika Collection of apparel with Cutter & Buck, signature wines with Wente Vineyards and an online retail shop.

In 2007, she created the Annika Foundation to teach children the importance of living a healthy, active lifestyle through fitness and nutrition and offer aspiring junior golfers opportunities to pursue their dreams. In 2008, Sorenstam joined Arnold Palmer as only the second Ambassador of the United States Golf Association, and in 2009, along with Jack Nicklaus, she was named a Global Ambassador by the International Golf Federation and aided in the successful bid for golf in the 2016 Olympic Games. In 2011 Sorenstam was named the winner of the USGA’s prestigious Bob Jones Award. She served as a vice-captain for the winning 2011 European Solheim Cup Team at Killeen Castle in County Meath, Ireland. Sorenstam and her husband Mike Mc-

Gee have two children, Ava, 2, and Will, 10 months. Mike McGee was born and raised in East Palestine, where his family still lives. His father, Jerry McGee, played the PGA Tour for many years and is an avid fan of Youngstown-area sports. The Athena Award program recognizes area business and professional women who have demonstrated excellence in their chosen career, provided leadership in the community and mentored or contributed to the growth of other professional women. The Regional Chamber will solicit Athena Award nominations in early January, when nomination forms may be accessed online at regionalchamber.com or via mail or email. Contact Kim Calvert at 330744-2131, ext. 35, or kim@regionalchamber.com for more information.

CDC: U.S. population has good levels of some essential vitamins, nutrients FROM THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL

O

verall, the U.S. population has good levels of vitamins A and D and folate in the body, but some groups still need to increase their levels of vitamin D and iron, according to the Second National Report on Biochemical Indicators of Diet and Nutrition, released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The report offers a limited but generally favorable review of the nation’s nutrition status although the findings do not necessarily indicate that people consume healthy and balanced diets. CDC’s Division of Laboratory Sciences in the National Center for Environmental Health measured these indicators in blood and urine samples collected from participants in CDC’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Data are presented for the years 19992006, with emphasis on newly available data for 2003-2006. “These findings are a snapshot of our nation’s overall nutrition status,” said Christopher Portier, Ph.D., director of CDC’s National Center for Environmental Health. “Measurements of blood and urine levels of these nutrients are critical because they show us whether the sum of nutrient intakes from foods and vitamin supplements is too low, too high, or sufficient.” The report also found that deficiency rates for vitamins and nutrients vary by age, gender, or race/ethnicity and can be as high as 31 percent for vitamin D deficiency in non-Hispanic blacks. “Research shows that good nutrition can help lower people’s risk for many chronic diseases. For most nutrients, the low deficiency rates, less than 1 to 10 percent, are encouraging, but higher deficiency rates in certain age and race/ethnic groups are a concern and need additional attention,” said Christine Pfeiffer, Ph.D., lead researcher, in the Division of Laboratory Sciences in CDC’s National Center for Environmental Health. CDC’s Second Nutrition Report establishes blood and urine reference levels for 58 biochemical indicators; more than twice as many indicators as its first report, published in 2008. The report includes first-time data for a new in-

Higher deficiency rates in some groups deserve attention, study says

dicator of iron deficiency and for 24 healthy and unhealthy fatty acids. Folic acid fortification: A sustained public health success – The report found that the fortification of cereal-grain products with folic acid, which began in 1998, has had a sustained positive impact on blood folate levels. The report shows folate deficiency dropped to less than 1 percent after fortification. The report also shows that blood folate levels in all race/ethnic groups are 50 percent higher since fortification began. Before fortification began, approximately 12 percent of women of childbearing age were deficient in folate, as determined by blood folate levels. Folate is essential during periods when cells rapidly divide and grow, which is particularly important for women prior to and during pregnancy and for children during infancy. Folic acid can help prevent some major birth defects of the baby’s brain and spine, such as spina bifida. Vitamin D deficiency much higher in black Americans – The report found the highest rates of vitamin D deficiency in non-Hispanic blacks

(31 percent) despite clinical data showing greater bone density and fewer fractures in this group. Further research is needed to explain why nonHispanic blacks have better bone health but yet have a higher rate of vitamin D deficiency. According to the report, the vitamin D deficiency rate for Mexican-Americans was 12 percent and for non-Hispanic whites it was 3 percent. Vitamin D is essential for good bone health but it may also improve muscle strength and protect against cancer and type 2 diabetes. Researchers are investigating these potential benefits, as well as, the vitamin D requirements for various groups. Iodine levels border on insufficiency in women of childbearing age – Findings were not as encouraging with regard to the iodine status in young women (20-39 years of age). This age group had iodine levels that were just above iodine insufficiency. The young women also had the lowest iodine levels among any age group of women. Iodine is an essential component of thyroid hormones that regulate human growth and development. Iodine deficiency disorders in-

clude mental retardation, hypothyroidism, goiter, cretinism, and varying degrees of other growth and developmental abnormalities. Iodine is especially important in women during childbearing years to ensure the best possible brain development of the fetus during pregnancy. First measurements of new iron deficiency marker and of both healthy and unhealthy fatty acids – Using a new marker of iron status, the report indicates higher rates of iron deficiency in Mexican-American children aged 1 to 5 years (11 percent) and in non-Hispanic black (16 percent) and Mexican-American women (13 percent) of childbearing age (12 to 49 years) when compared to other race/ethnic groups. The new iron marker measurements will help clinicians better interpret iron status in individuals, especially in persons with chronic disease that includes inflammation, such as certain cancers. The report provides first-time data on blood levels of fatty acids in the U.S. population. These include heart healthy polyunsaturated fatty acids as well as saturated fatty acids that increase risk of heart disease. The report found heart healthy polyunsaturated fatty acid levels in plasma differ by race/ethnicity. These first time measurements provide a baseline that will allow CDC to track fatty acid levels over time, which will evaluate our nation’s progress toward heart healthy diets. Most comprehensive biochemical assessment of the nation’s nutrition status – CDC’s report is a detailed biochemical assessment of the nutrition status of the U.S. population. It is the second in a series of publications that provide an ongoing assessment of the U.S. population’s nutrition status. The series of reports provide information specific to population groups defined by age, gender, and race/ethnicity to show how these factors affect nutrition status in the United States. CDC plans further analysis of report data that will help identify the influence of socioeconomic and lifestyle factors on levels of nutrients in blood and urine. The agency also plans to continue its assessment of the nation’s nutrition status in future reports. For more information on the nutrition report, visit http://www.cdc.gov/nutritionreport/.

A

crostini. A California

tore’s Italian Grille, Springfield Grille, and Selah Restaurant, which all

2010 Clos du Bois Chardonnay was

held great tastings. Beaver Creek State Park’s Wildlife Education Center held a fundraiser taste and Michael Charles Premier Wines introduced new owners. In addition, Phill and Sandy Reda of Vintage Estate Wine and Beer held his third annual “Big Tap-In” craft beer festival at the Covelli Center. Great wine shops rarely change owners, and when Chuck and Debbie Lapmardo announced that Nick and Loretta Uroseva were buying their store, Michael Charles Premier Wines on Elm Road, I had to be there for their first tasting. I was happy to hear that Chuck’s daughter, Christine, is remaining to help run the store, along with the rest of the knowledgeable staff. Their inaugural “Second Saturday” taste had two well-priced wines that should be just right for upcoming summer enjoyment. Australia’s 2008 Shoofly “The Freckle” ($11.99) Rhone white blend of Marcanne (40 percent) Rousanne (31 percent) and Viognier (23 percent) offers ripe peachy flavors and a fresh vibrant finish that should complement lighter summer dishes. My red pick was the 2010 Rio Madre Graciano ($11.99) from Rioja, Spain. The Graciano grape is used mostly for blending in Spain to give complexity and floral notes, but the 100 percent Rio Madre Graciano is simply delicious. Lush berry flavors follow to a floral-scented finish. Just the other day, I received an email Pennsylvania Wine and Spirits saying that this wine has been awarded a Chairman’s Selection. I wish Nick and Loretta all the best in their new venture. They have some exciting plans for the future, and I look forward to seeing what they have in store. On April 20, I was invited to attend the Wine and Wildlife fundraiser at Bea-

our next wine sampling. It was served with crunchy orange roughy soft tacos drizzled with local black bean mango salsa. The lightly oaked crisptasting Clos du Bois held up nicely to the bright citrusy dressing and crunchy taco. A locally acquired mixed green and dandelion salad tossed with turnips and roasted beets was paired to a 2008 Rotta Pro-

ver Creek State Park’s Wildlife Education Center. Tables loaded with hot and

The

Wine Guy By John Webster well with the recommended linguine and smoked pork entrée. Our next wine poured was a 2009 Hook & Ladder Chardonnay from California’s Russian River Valley. Slightly bolder than our first Chardonnay, it offered tropical fruit flavors and a bouquet of honey and pineapple tinged with oak. It held up nicely to the dish of rich pasta and artichoke with crumbled bacon that was suggested. Our first red was the 2008 Jed Steele Shooting Star Zinfandel from Mendocino County. This cool-climate Old Vine Zinfandel was fabulous with the homemade ricotta gnocchi. Lush Zinfandel flavors and a spicy berry-scented finish make this Zinfandel a great choice for upcoming summer cookouts. Australia’s Victoria region is the home of our next wine. The 2007 The Verdict Cabernet Sauvignon from the Shinas Estate offers bold plummy fruit flavors and long textured finish the paired lovingly with the Devonshire seared steak entrée. We returned to California’s Lake County for our final wine. The 2009 Vigilance Red Hills Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits Bordeaux-like fruit flavors and structure. Those who ordered the bourbon beef tips were very pleased with this distinctive red wine. I want to thank the Selah restaurant staff and Julius Veal for a wonderful two days of dining and wine tasting. Our next two Wine and Dine Ohio events will be on Thursday, May 31 at the Station Square Ristorante in Liberty, and an exclusive tasting of Ohio’s Ferrante Winery on June 27 at Rachel’s Restaurant in Austintown; I hope you’ll join us for both. On April 18, I went to Salvatore’s Italian Grille in Howland for a tasting featuring 25 different wines from around the world. Owner Salvatore Coppola is updating his restaurant wine list, and a lot of wines from this tasting will eventually find a place on the list. To accompany all the fine wine offered, tables were filled with trays of antipasto, imported cheeses and meats, and artisan pizzas. For upcoming summer fare featuring light dishes, give the Montagna Sangue di Giuda del’Oltrepo Pavese DOC NV Frizzante ($15) from Italy a try. Deep red in

color with berry-tinged flavors, this bubbly is just plain fun to drink. Low in alcohol (7.5 percent), its spritzy nose and fruity flavors will please most everyone. If you’re looking for something bolder SEE WINE GUY, PAGE 17


METRO MONTHLY | MAY 2012

WINE GUY FROM PAGE 16

in style, the 2007 Fratelli Ferrero Barbera d’Alba ($24) from the Piedmonte region of Italy offers textured cherry flavors and finishes long with spice-tinged fruit. Salvatore’s Veal Maximo would be a fine choice for this Piedmontese classic. My last pick was Peirano Estate’s 2010 Chardonnay ($15) from Lodi, Calif. Classic California Chardonnay citrus fruit flavors are this reasonably priced wine’s ticket to success. Salvatore’s excellent chicken Francaise would be a natural choice for the crisp-tasting Peirano Chardonnay. On a final note, let’s talk about beer. I mean lots of beer. On April 21, I attended Vintage Estate and Phill and Sandy Reda’s Big Tap-In craft beer festival at the Covelli Center. This fundraiser for Making Kids Count keeps growing every year in both attendance and craft beers offered. With summer just around the corner, I found a number of ciders that should go well with various summer dishes. My first discovery was Magner’s Imported Irish Cider. Their apple and pear ciders are simply delicious. The apple cider is golden in color and has a fresh apple-tinged nose. It comes in at 4.5 percent alcohol and would be great as a dressing for vegetables or salads. The pear, also 4.5 percent alcohol, is lighter in color and would be outstanding as a marinade for baked ham. Crack open a bottle, slice some cheese, and sit back and enjoy yourself with a Magner’s. My next pick was the Crispin Natural Hard Apple Cider Original from Minneapolis. Another low-alcohol drink that offers refreshing relief from the summer heat, this cider is particularly good over cracked ice. I want to thank Phill for inviting me to the Big Tap-In, and I look forward to next year. Upcoming events include 5-8 p.m. Thursday, May 17 at Charlie’s Premier Wines of Howland; owner and winemaker Mac McDonald of Vision Cellars will be pouring. On Tuesday, May 22, Springfield Grille will have their monthly dinner taste. On Thursday, May 31, Wine and Dine Ohio will have a tasting at the Station Square Ristorante in Liberty, and on Wednesday, June 27 will be at Rachel’s Restaurant in Austintown for a Ferrante Winery taste. To make a reservation or get on the email list for Wine and Dine Ohio event information, call 330-651-8676 and leave a message, or contact us through the Wine and Dine Ohio Web site (www.wineanddineohio.com). Other regular tastings include Charlie’s Premier Wines of Howland, every Saturday; Wine Styles, every other week on Thursday, Friday and Saturday; Vintage Estate, third Saturday tasting; and Michael Charles Premier Wines on Elm Road, second Saturday tasting.

If your restaurant, shop or charity event is having an upcoming wine tasting, please email me a month in advance at jmwineguy@gmail.com. I look forward to seeing you at events around the Valley.
