Cycle Jerk There you were, you smug bastard, in your navy blue biking gear thinking you own the road on your twowheeled death trap. And here I was, just as smug, sitting in my car, front of the line at the red light till you decided to get in front of me on this one-lane road. My vehicle can go from zero to 60 in six seconds whilst you can barely make it up the hill that's in front of us. Why would you do this to me? Do you hate me? Do you think you'll get somewhere faster by slowing me down? You're a jerk. Get off your bike and walk it up the hill off of the road and let me and the others pass. It's not difficult and it's the good and moral thing to do.

Reyy I

nside a Milpitas elementary school’s multi-purpose room, splashed with swaths of green, blue and yellow, Rey Resurreccion teaches a chess class for youngsters.

Fifteen students surround him in a semi-circle, squirming with pentup energy. Once settled, “Chessmaster Rey,” as the kids call him, points to the hanging chess board and explains the gambit: sacrificing a piece for a more advantageous position on the board.

He recounts a game from memory, rattling off each move at a breakneck pace, but the kids stay with him. When he runs into a teachable moment, he asks the students to suggest moves before proceeding.

Condensing a game that might have lasted hours into less than five minutes, there is soon a victor, and before the students break out into individual games, he delivers his key point for the day: “Make sure every move you make counts.”

At this point in his career, Rey Res knows well the importance of thinking things through. Arguably San Jose’s best-known rapper, he’s built considerable buzz since

dropping his Sleeping ng Giants mixt mixtape ape in collaboration with ith CL CLOUT OUT Magazine in late 2010.

WHISKY NEAT Nomikai will host a whisky tasting followed by a Q&A with a Scotch sommelier.

Drink-in the Year Whisky Wednesday For less than the price of a bottle of Macallan 12-year, taste a variety of popular Scotch whiskies and learn the history of how it’s made. And then sidle up for a chat with a renowned whisky expert. David Osborne, said expert from whisky distributor ERdington Americas, will host next week’s event at Nomikai sake lounge in downtown San Jose. On the menu: Famous Grouse, Macallan 12, Macallan 18, Highland Park 12 and Highland Park 18.

Whisky Wednesday, 6-7pm Jan. 14. Nomikai, 48 S. First St., San Jose. $45 per person at the door. Phone: 408.287.7199. Or buy tickets online at nomikaisj.com.

Wine on the Weekend Big Dog Vineyards hosts a wine tasting with live acoustic music. Awardwinning wines include the 33-month-aged cabernet sauvignon, its SantaCruz grown chardonnay and others. Tastings take place on the patio overlooking Silicon Valley from high above in the east San Jose hills.

Big Dog Vineyard, 4545 Felter Road, Milpitas. Tastings from noon to 5pm Saturday. Free to $5. Phone: 408.935.9194. bigdogvineyards.com.

Local Youkilis The chef-owner of San Francisco’s only ham and oyster bar, the Hog & Rocks, announced Tuesday he’s moving down to Los Gatos. Scott Youkilis will open up a brewpub with his brother, former Major League Baseball player Kevin Youkilis, in the spot recently vacated by 20-year tenant Los Gatos Brewing Company. Foglight Alehouse, a 150-seat pub, will open sometime this summer. While the previous tenant of the 7,000-squarefoot Los Gatos facility focused on lagers, Foglight will specialize in ales and food pairings like burgers, pizzas and fried chicken. The brothers will join a burgeoning craft beer community in Silicon Valley, which has grown recently to include Russian River, Almanac and Clandestine brewing companies.—Jennifer Wadsworth Foglight Alehouse, 130 N. Santa Cruz Ave., Los Gatos. Open date: TBD.

HE BROAD-RANGING bistro menu of Local Union 271 covers breakfast, lunch and dinner, but is perhaps most thorough in the lengths it goes to remind visitors of the restaurant’s local sourcing practices. A box listing each of the farms sourced for ingredients dominates the top half of the menu.

Local Union 271, which opened in the fall, breathes new life into the location long occupied by University Cafe, a downtown Palo Alto institution.

Though many of the sources listed on the menu may already prove familiar to locavores, such as Straus Family Creamery in Petaluma or Santa Cruz’s Dirty Girl Farms, I anticipate lesser known farms will make more frequent appearances as the restaurant grows into itself—the restaurant just opened a few months ago.

Dinner began with me fumbling in utter confusion with the drink, special and regular dining menus, but my guests and I were able to track down a host of appetizing dishes from among the eclectic offerings: grilled tacos, Asian-style stir frys, dinner salads, pasta dishes, burgers and sandwiches.

We started with the Hobb’s bacon chips ($6.95) and skillet-baked mac n’ cheese ($13.95). A heap of bacon chips, from Hobb’s Applewood Meats in Richmond, were tossed in a runny agave glaze and plated on butter leaf lettuce cups with cherry tomato halves and a side of Kewpie sriracha.

Perhaps these are intended to be enjoyed as lettuce wraps but the drenching of agave glaze on the delicate butter lettuce limits that option.

Simply snacking just on the sweet, salty pieces of bacon was thoroughly enjoyable, and the skillet mac n’ cheese was incredibly rich and creamy.

Our main courses included a linguini carbonara ($14.95), a prawn salad ($16.95) and the house burger ($12.95). The carbonara paired a velvety sauce with beautiful yellow linguini from Saporito Pasta in Redwood City.

The prawn salad came with sweet and juicy grilled prawns atop mixed greens in a citrus vinaigrette with asparagus spears. And the burger was a half-pound beef patty from Mindful Meats, which uses non-GMO pastureraised cows from Marin and Sonoma county. I had to take a second bite to ensure it was not a placebo effect, but there was a noticeably pronounced beef avor. Complimenting the burger was the spongiest, sweetest tasting bun I’ve enjoyed in a while.

On a previous visit for brunch, the fresh squeezed orange juice and chicken chilaquiles were both delightful. —Jeff Cianci LOCAL UNION 271 271 271 University Ave., Palo Alto. 650.322.5301 or localunion271.com

REVIEW

INTO INT O THE W WOODS OODSS

Stoned Immaculate LAZY STORY STRUCTURE and arcless arc compliment, rather than injure, Inherent Vice. P.T. Anderson’s ingratiating version of sometimes-Aptos-based author Thomas Pynchon’s homage to detective fiction.

The mood is far more important than the case. It’s a threnody for the end of the 1960s, as the best defective-detective since Dude Lebowski tries to determine who is responsible for what.

Narration by a female psychic named Sortilege (Joanna Newsom) provides a frame for the adventures of Doc Sportello. He’s played by Joaquin Phoenix, muttonchopped and straw-hatted like the young Neil Young. He’s sort of-kind of on the trail of a vanished developer called Wolfmann (Eric Roberts). The detective learns the real estate bigwig has connections to Shasta (Katherine Waterston) the lovely who Doc said farewell to years before.

For a time, Doc’s nemesis seems to be the furious yet telegenic “Renaissance cop” Bigfoot Bjornsen (Josh Brolin, beautifully channeling the blocked rage of Sterling Hayden). The way Anderson reveals a friendship between the hippie-hating flattop and the passive stoner is one of the film’s surprises.

Inherent Vice isn’t a lavish recreation of

1970 LA; it takes place in cars, offices and other interiors where the walls barely keep out the ambient paranoia. TV sets act as informants, reluctantly doling out clues.

Understanding the way Inherent Vice this time-honored genre makes its own R; 148 Min. gravy, Anderson has Plays Doc knocked cold to Valleywide wake up somewhere else, and sends strangers into the room holding weapons. Many exotic women turn up to turn Doc around. These include the bad-girl Shasta, who whips up a memorable sex scene—in the end, what’s more erotic than a woman describing exactly what she wants? The very kinky half-pint porn star Belladonna has a cameo, as does Serena Scott-Thomas as the scantily clad Mrs. Wolfmann. The film teems with Southern California eccentrics—Martin Short as a horndog dentist, Owen Wilson as a legally dead saxophonist. A malign influence on all is a mysterious organization called “The Golden Fang,” perhaps still at large. Inherent Vice is a light film, but it leaves an impression that the heavy films can’t. The vanishings, the bad vibes and the smoggy seaside light creates its own keen melancholy.—Richard von Busack
