CLUBBING

The Deuce in Northampton worth saving, preserving

I

T’S HARD FOR ME TO say I have a favorite bar, but in a way, I do.

I enjoy imbibing beer and the occasional spirit at several places on a somewhat regular basis. I don’t have a hierarchy of these places as they all are favorites in one way or another. But while some places are breweries and others are restaurants with bars in them, there is technically only one that serves solely as a bar.

That would be The World War II Club, known as The Deuce, in Northampton.

The Deuce is a bar. You can order food to be delivered there, and they have some good craft beer selections, but mainly it’s just a good old-school bar. No, let me rephrase: it’s a great old-school bar.

Like any great bar or pub, The Deuce has a cast of regulars that are among the most caring, brilliant and entertaining folks to ever haunt a drinking hole in my experience. (And I’ve been to quite a few.) I have even written and recorded a song about the place. It’s a bar where you can easily have a conversation

The Fab Faux to perform early Beatles tunes

N

By Keith O’Connor

Special to The Republican

o strangers to Western Massachusetts, The Fab Faux, who have sold out Radio City Music Hall, will return to Northampton tomorrow for a performance at the Academy of Music.

Set for 8 p.m., the group of top session musicians — known for their accurate reproduction of the Beatles’ extensive music catalog — will perform the Beatles’ American album “Meet the Beatles” in its entirety followed by a fan set of Beatles favorites.

The Fab Faux was born in 1998 when Will Lee, who has played with all four Beatles, was bassist for Paul Shaffer’s CBS Orchestra on the “Late Show with David Letterman.”

He decided to organize his labor of love to the Beatles’ music without parading around in period wardrobe, fake accents and wigs, and focus instead on the intricacies and soul of the music. Rounding out the lineup are Jimmy Vivino, music director/guitarist for “Conan” and longtime music partner of Levon Helm, John Sebastian, and Laura Nyro; lead-singing drummer/ producer Rich Pagano, who has worked with Rosanne Cash, Roger Waters and many others; guitarist Frank Agnello, who has played with Marshall Crenshaw, Phoebe

IF YOU GO Event: The Fab Faux When: Tomorrow, 8 p.m.

Where: Academy of Music Theatre, 274 Main St., Northampton Tickets: $38.50-$85; available online at eventbrite. com/e/the-fab-faux-tick ets-72740937101; or the box office at 413-584-9032, Tuesday through Friday, 3-6 p.m.

Young@Heart Chorus goes classical – sort of Concert features SSO, SciTech Band members

IF YOU GO

By George Lenker

Special to The Republican

The Young@Heart Chorus’ upcoming show has a somewhat equivocal name: “Young@Heart Goes Classical (sort of).”

The hedging “sort of ” simply means that the evening’s program, which will feature members of the Springfield Symphony Orchestra as well as members of the Springfield’s SciTech Band, won’t entirely be symphonic.

“It’s the first time ever we will be doing classical music, but we will also be doing some classic rock,” director Bob Cilman said.

The show will be held at the Academy of Music in Northampton Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

The music will be varied, as

I just had to have this record and my dad brought me to Times Square in New York City to get the album. You couldn’t touch my dad’s stereo, he was sort of an audiophile. So, he had to put the needle on the vinyl record and when I heard that first song, “Come Together,” it was like a narcotic.

They are “amazingly soft and wicked warm,” claims her website.

Kaltner began making her mittens after developing Raynaud’s disease – a rare disorder of the blood vessels, usually in the fingers and toes that causes the blood vessels to narrow when you are cold or feeling stressed. When this happens, blood can’t get to the surface of the skin and the affected areas turn white and blue.

“This is a very special part of what I do. One day a man showed up at my door with clothing that belonged to his late wife. He wanted me to make them into mittens for his wife’s sisters, nieces, and daughters so they could have something to wear that reminded them of her,” Kaltner said.

Shoppers can usually find Kaltner outside her booth beckoning in customers.

VIDEO GAME REVIEW

#Noregrets playing frictionless ‘Afterparty’ Game emulates manic tempo of being young and having wild night out

BY Christopher Byrd

Special To The Washington Post

None of the characters in “Afterparty” want to take up too much of anyone’s time, even in hell where the game is set. Demons, if you didn’t know, take schedules seriously, and it’s only because a demon at a processing center considers his off-hours sacrosanct that Milo and Lola, two new arrivals to the Pit, are free to stroll about for a night rather than being assigned an ironic form of torture for their sins.

Milo and Lola aren’t sure how they died - one minute they were chatting with their fellow college grads at a party then, zap! - or why they’ve ended up in hell, but they adapt quickly. Looking for an escape plan, they learn that if they can best Satan in a drinking contest they’ll win their liberty. And so begins a pub crawl in which the kids, sorry, I mean the recently-certified adults, get involved in a whole lot of tomfoolery.

Before the night is over Milo and Lola will, among other things, commit themselves to

a bad impersonation, instigate a fight and cut past lots of people waiting to get into a party. They’ll also suffer the occasional interruption from their personal demon Sister Mary Wormhorn whose job, naturally, is to remind them of difficult memories. Wormhorn is batty and overeager, but like the rest of Hell’s denizens she keeps her routines short.

UPCOMING

To everyone’s good fortune, Milo, a people pleaser, and Lola, the one who will tell you that your tastes are too commercial, have Sam (voiced by the talented Ashly Burch) to ferry them across lava on her boat from place to place and deliver clipped exposition.

Without the burden of responsibility, Milo and Lola can, and really should, drink all manner of concoctions since they impart extra dialogue options.

Hell is a repository of drinks with names such as Famous Last Words (“menthol, colored solvents, with a touch of sugar; slightly more enjoyable than death”) and the Headless Groom (“orange rum; melted chocolate; catholic guilt; twisty straws for mild enjoyment”).

There are drinks that will boost the characters’ courage, as well as to make them more flirty, more obnoxious or more inclined to speak like someone out of a 1940s Hollywood noir film.

HILE BACON has long been a staple ingredient in commercial kitchens, over the last decade those tasty strips of smoked and seasoned pork belly have enjoyed increasing importance throughout the restaurant dining experience. Bacon’s transcended its traditional role as breakfast meat and sandwich garnish to now appear as a stand-alone appetizer, a part of dessert, and even as a center-of-plate specialty.

For starter purposes some establishments are exploiting bacon’s popularity by dressing it up in unusual ways, such as slathering it with peanut butter or offering it sugar-glazed and pepper-spiced. Other operators are featuring bacon “flights” that showcase different cures, smoking formulas and spices.

Bacon has found a place in the world of desserts as both a garnish and flavor counterpoint, while entrees featuring pork belly (unsliced bacon) have found slots on menus of all sorts.

Chef Jakub Koziara of Max Burger in Longmeadow is using an upcoming beer dinner to demonstrate bacon’s versatility as he and his staff present a Bacon & IPA Dinner on Monday.

The event, which will start at 6 p.m., will feature IPAs from small breweries in Western and Central Massachusetts in addition to Koziara’s bacon-themed bill of fare.

The culinary agenda for the evening starts off with bacon and blue cheese crostini. The second course is to be Southern fried chicken wings served with a bacon-speckled cream gravy.

Bacon-wrapped monkfish will anchor the seafood course, while a plate of smoked brisket paired with bacon-infused barbecue sauce and a warm bacon-potato salad will conclude the progression of savory menu elements.

L COMALITO IN Amherst has continuously grown and expanded over its seven years in existence thanks to a loyal following of patrons who appreciate its authentic Mexican and Salvadoran specialties. Devotees and newcomers alike now have the opportunity to enjoy the family’s newest eatery in Easthampton.

The spacious restaurant on Northampton Street has a similar feel to the original restaurant thanks to its distinct colors and lively atmosphere. The space once occupied by an Italian restaurant has been transformed through the use of bright paint, Mexican tiles and South American artifacts. A dedicated takeout space is located on one side of the bar, with booth and table seating in the other large dining room. Fans can also experience El Camolito via its growing catering business.

Given that it’s the chips and salsa that set the tone for most Mexican dining experiences, we are often surprised at how little (if any) care goes into them. That is definitely not the case at El Comalito where the Totopas are handmade daily and come served with two distinct salsas for $3.49 or with guacamole for $7.49.

Surgeon turned great winemaker talks winery, passions

S

TANDING BESIDE A vineyard filled with short, squat green vines, Larry Turley gestures towards another field.

He then describes in precise detail how he meticulously expanded his renowned St. Helena, California, winery, famous for its red zinfandels, over the years, one vineyard at a time.

still has a slight Southern lilt in his voice from growing up in Georgia and Tennessee, where he spent several years as a child on a tobacco and dairy farm without electricity.

Then again, don’t let Larry’s down-home charm fool you.

While he might not seem to take anything too seriously, he and the rest of his hard-working team at Turley Wine Cellars produce some of the best red zinfandels and petit syrahs in California, or frankly anywhere in the world. That’s why I made a point of making a pilgrimage to Turley Wine Cellars in California’s Napa Valley earlier this year.

What has impressed me over the years is how consistently outstanding Turley’s Ken Ross wines are year in and year Wine Press out, especially since so many of them are so affordable “When I bought the place, (roughly $25 to $50 a bottle in I owned five acres,” he says. most cases).

such a great winemaker?

Below, you’ll find excerpts from my conversation with Larry Turley earlier this year at his winery in St. Helena. Let me add that I could have filled pages and pages with Larry’s entertaining stories about his childhood, his winery and many of his other passions.

All I can say is his wines reflect his personality. They’re complex, entertaining and a joy to be around. Hope you enjoy reading about him and his wines as well.

Humble beginnings Larry doesn’t remember much about the tobacco or dairy farm without electrici-

Larry adds that neither one of his parents were interested in wine, which is even more surprising since Larry’s sister, Helen Turley, is one of the best winemakers in the world.

(Both have been featured individually on the cover of Wine Spectator magazine.)

“We grew up as Southern Baptists so it (wine) was demon alcohol,” Larry says.

“I got kicked out (of church) at an early age because I wore tennis shoes – it was the only shoes I had – and they asked me one day at Sunday school, ‘Would you drive a beer truck for $40 a week or dig ditches for $30 a week?’ And I said, I would drive a beer truck.

show up. Anything. It was busy.”

“I like what I do now,” Larry says. “I still keep my (medical) license active. So when I travel long distance, I tell the captain on the plane that I’ll see any emergencies but no sore throats. And I get put to work about half the time.”

Interest in wine “I moved out here in ’74,” Larry says, referring to Napa Valley, California. “I always liked the land. I hiked. I was always interested in the outdoors. I like to eat and drink.

So in ’74, it was pretty sleepy, but the wine industry was here.”

Don’t let Larry’s down-home charm fool you. While he might not seem to take anything too seriously, he and the rest of his hard-working team at Turley Wine Cellars produce some of the best red zinfandels and petit syrahs in California or frankly anywhere in the world. ty that his family lived on in Tennessee. “My dad used to tell stories about trying to get the gasoline power to start in the middle of winter at four o’clock in the morning,” he says. “I don’t remember much. I was real young. But it didn’t sound like a lot of fun.

Then we got brucellosis so we had to slaughter the whole heard. So that’s when we moved to Georgia.”

Larry’s family moved to Georgia in 1948 or 1949.

There, his father worked in the civil service teaching teachers how to teach. Larry’s mother was also a teacher.

“I was making beer at the time and I had made beer all through medical school. So I kept on making beer here.

Then I met John Williams from Frog’s Leap (winery).

Well, it wasn’t Frog’s Leap yet. But we made a little bit of Emergency room surgeon homemade wine. Then in ’81, “I did that for 24 years,” Lar- we started with 700 cases of ry says. “The average career is sauvignon blanc.”

So I sold the the E.R., any baby that was delivered if the O.B. guy didn’t SEE WINE, PAGE E16 ‘Well what about our creed?’

The chorizo at El Camolito are bursting with flavor and grilled to perfection.

Mexican food categories include the usual suspects in the form of tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and enchiladas; as well as Tortas (Mexican Sandwiches) and Platillos Mexicanos; or Mexican dishes. The Burritos category is by far the most expansive, with a list of over 25 varieties ranging from traditional to the likes of Philly Steak ($11.49), Chicken/Bacon/Ranch

($8.99), and Grilled Spinach and Garlic ($8.47). The sheer size of the gargantuan burritos we saw pass by might be due to the fact that each starts with a base of stuffing of spanish rice, black beans, lettuce, pico de gallo, seasoned sour cream, cheese and a choice of salsa before adding its main components.

Enchiladas seemed a more manageable entree selection given we were already looking ahead to dessert, so we chose the interesting sounding Enchilada Suiza ($17.99): chicken enchiladas with creamy green tomatillo sauce, fresh lettuce, onion, cilantro, avocado and queso fresca. The spicy shredded chicken was balanced out by the mild green sauce, and the fresh toppings made for a well-balanced dish.

Desserts are all made inhouse and include Tres Leches ($4.99), Flan ($5.99) and Churros ($6.99 with sauce, $8.99 with ice cream). Our six crispy churros were filled with silky Bavarian Cream and we chose chocolate sauce over caramel or condensed milk.

It was a completely satisfying end to the meal.

El Comalito features a full bar and daily margarita specials as well as fresh homemade juices that include tamarind, hibiscus, and passion fruit.

dogs.

And fortunately, beer and dogs seem to go together for some reason. Maybe it’s that both beer and dogs usually create a friendly vibe. Both are mostly unpretentious. Of course, both also get a little hifalutin, what with winning medals in competitions and all, but we can be OK with that because both beer and dogs are down-to-earth for the most part.

So you can imagine how delighted I was to see a report on CNN.com about Fargo Brewing’s new endeavor: Featuring dogs who are up for adoption on their beer can labels.

The North Dakota brewery is collaborating with local rescue organization 4 Luv of Dog Rescue to place what they call “One-der dogs” into forever homes. A half-dozen dogs were chosen, named Nyx, Bizzy, Jensen, Hobie, Moby and Virginia. The brewery then held an event where customers could buy a six-pack of Fargo Original Larger for $9 while meeting one of the six-pack of dogs.

The brewery sold 25 of the 40 special cases it created with the hound-themed labels. Some of the sales will be donated to 4 Luv of Dog Rescue.
