THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

by ANDREW TRAVERS

DRAMA DOLORES HUERTA is a great American hero. Now 87, the rebel, activist, feminist and mother is looking back on her life in a new documentary film directed by Peter Bratt and produced by Carlos Santana. “Dolores,” screening Sunday, Aug. 13, at Paepcke Audtorium as part of the Aspen Institute and Aspen Film’s New Views series, examines her early life as a dancer into her cofounding of the first farm workers unions with Cesar Chavez. She hasn’t stopped fighting for justice since then. “In the copious volumes written about legendary civil rights activist Cesar Chavez and how he formed the first farm workers’ union in America, there is comparatively little mentioned about Dolores Huerta, his equal partner and co-founder of the union, an equally formidable labor leader and civil rights organizer who had fought (and to this day still fights) tirelessly for the liberation of workers, women and immigrants for nearly seven decades,” says Bratt. “Why was this? What had happened?” Huerta has continued fighting for labor rights and human rights. The new film, due out in theaters in September, benefits from intimate and unprecedented access to Huerta and her personal journey through her decades leading social change. The film is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20, available at the Wheeler Opera House box office and www.aspenshowtix.com. Huerta’s son, Emilio, will be featured in a post-screening discussion with his mother joining via Skype. Pick up the Aug. 11 Weekend section of The Aspen Times for more on “Dolores.”

“Dolores,” a new documentary about Dolores Huerta, plays at the Aspen Institute on Aug. 13.

1960 W O OD Y C R E E K

“LEGITIMATE POLO BACK TO ASPEN AFTER 60 YEARS,” declared a headline in The Aspen Times on Aug. 5, 1960. “Legitimate polo returned to the Roaring Fork Valley last Sunday after an absence of over 60 years when two teams of local riders met on the turf of St. Finnbarr Farm at Woody Creek. Although local players have frequently played broom polo and palmetto polo with rubber balls, this was the first known game using standard sticks and balls since Aspen’s boom days. Leading the two teams Sunday were two part-time Aspenites from Chicago, Don Brothers and Pat Connors, both members of Chicago’s squad, 1960 winter champions. Also playing were Wilton Jaffee, Roy Reid, Bert Simons, Art Pfister and Henry Pedersen. In addition to local mounts, the players used Brothers’ string of polo ponies shipped to Aspen at the close of last winter’s Chicago tournament. A second game, in what the players hope to be a regular series, has been scheduled for 2 p.m. next Sunday, August 7. After the game players and spectators plan to organize an Aspen Polo Club to plan future events.” The photograph above shows a polo game at St. Finnbar Farm at Woody Creek, 1960.

GEAR of the WEEK

by STEPHEN REGENOLD

DRIVE IT: AIRSTREAM GOES FIBERGLASS COMING IN 2018, Airstream touts its latest model as aerodynamic, lightweight, and strong. But this isn’t your dad’s aluminum tow-behind. The company shifts to fiberglass for the Nest, a camper designed for a new demographic of roadtrippers. Its price and most details are still under wraps. But a couple things are clear: Airstream will mold the shell of the Nest in multiple pieces. Top, bottom, and rear fiberglass shells fit together to make a 16-foot towable home. Airstream acquired a small Oregon company, Nest Caravans, to make its move into fiberglass. Expect big panoramic windows and a decentsize living space with the new models. Rounded edges and lighter weight

improve aerodynamics to make it towable by smaller vehicles. The brand sees mid-size SUVs and likely stationwagons like the Subaru Outback as candidate to connect and haul the Nest. With a queen bed it’s made to house a traveling couple, not a whole family. Details will likely include LED lighting and stainless steel appliances inside. Airstream will continue to make its “silver bullet” stalwarts. But watch for fiberglass and the sleek Nest campers on the road next spring.

ASPEN UNTUCKED

by BARBARA PLATTS

LAKE LIVING WHEN IT COMES TO anything involving water, my family tends to look the other way. I’m not sure what the root of this aversion is, but aquatics have never been a particular thrill for my relatives. My mother thinks any pool of liquid – from a dish full of sink water to the Atlantic Ocean – is a cesspool waiting to give any innocent indulger a lifeBARBARA PLATTS threatening disease. My uncle, who is a car collector, thinks the only beach worth a damn is Pebble Beach, and only during the week of Concours d’Elegance, a highly prestigious car show. Even my siblings and cousins don’t prioritize water-centric fun. They prefer hiking and skiing in the mountains or exploring new cities in the U.S. and beyond. As a kid, I was obsessed with oceans, lakes and pools. I always wanted to be in or near them. My parents would acquiesce to my requests, but they rarely wanted to join in on the fun. However, a few years ago, my aunt broke the trend of water hating in our family when she and her husband decided to buy and fix up an old cabin on Lake Coeur d’Alene in Idaho. Each summer,

COURTESY OF JIM HEUCK

there’s an open invitation from them to come visit and spend time on the lake. Members of my family have been slow to accept the invite, however more and more are getting out there, spending time on — and occasionally even in — the lake. This summer, my boyfriend Matt and I accepted my aunt and uncle’s invitation to check it out, going up there last weekend for a couple days of lake time. Now, my knowledge of lake culture and boating is at a minimum. What I know I’ve only learned in the past few years from Matt, whose family was practically born on lakes, as they’re all from Minnesota. At this point, I kind of know how to drive a boat (if someone starts it for me) and I can stand up on a wakeboard for all of three seconds before I crash miserably. I like to think my enthusiasm for the lake lifestyle helps make up for my lack of experience. Despite my rookie status, I have learned a few things very quickly about lake life. Number one: Relaxation and fun are key. We aren’t out there to save the world, although that is an admirable goal. We’re simply out on the water to enjoy ourselves and the pristine nature around us. Number two:

No matter the situation, a beer tends to make it better. Any time of the day, if you’re on a lake, light intoxication is typically encouraged. There are exceptions to this, of course, but out on Lake Coeur d’Alene, it seemed like everyone was following this social expectation very well. And, number three: Don’t mess with someone else’s boat unless they have asked you to. Boats are not like scooters or bikes, they are big and pricey and tend to be the pride and joy of the person who owns them. These are the lessons I gathered from this past weekend. Oh, and that everyone is generally at least 15 minutes behind. Lake Coeur d’Alene, which I will now refer to as CDA for the remainder of this column because the town’s French name seems to get harder to spell each time I try, is located in the northernmost slither of Idaho. The town, also named CDA, is home to around 50,000 people year round and probably several thousand more in the summer when lake home owners come to enjoy the pleasant weather and clear lake water. All in all, Lake CDA spans 25 miles and has more than 109 miles of shoreline. Up and down the shore, there are small cabins, gigantic

mansions, boys and girls camps, hotels and even several restaurants and quaint towns. Some of the older houses even have mailboxes on their docks, and, yes, the mailman still delivers their postage from the water. It really does seem that some Lake CDA residents come at the beginning of the summer and don’t use their car until the end of the season. Two days of exploring was not nearly enough to get to know this lake paradise. However, in just a short time, I can easily say it’s one of my favorite destinations in America. If you are in the market for a lake vacation, I highly recommend researching CDA. As for the rest of my family, they’re still reticent of the aquatic lifestyle. However, with a place like CDA available for weekend getaways, they’re beginning to come around to the idea. My mother still thinks any body of water is a cesspool, but at least we’re making progress. Now, please take me back to the lake. Barbara Platts wants to be a lake person when she grows up, no matter what her family says about it. Reach her at bplatts.000@gmail.com.

WINEINK

THE WINE FOUNDRY MAKING YOUR OWN WINE SO YOU WANT TO MAKE some wine? Good on you. There is no better way to learn about wine than to make it. But let’s say that, like many of us, you lack the capital to invest in prime vineyard land, superior winemaking facilities, fancy consultants, brand designers and distributors. Welcome to the club. Fortunately there is a way to dip a KELLY J. toe into the wine world HAYES and make your own wine without spending a fortune. And great wine at that. “Our goal is to enable wine enthusiasts and amateur winemakers to access world-class grapes and facilities so that they can make world-class wines,” said Philip von Burg, the owner of The Wine Foundry in downtown Napa, California. There you will find a full-service winemaking facility designed to make winemaking dreams a reality. The Wine Foundry provides a series of complete soup-to-nuts winemaking experiences for a variety of customer needs and desires. Prices range from a low of just under $5,000 a barrel for a labeled and bottled custom-made rosé, to as high as $20,000 a barrel for cabernet sauvignon sourced from grapes from a premium Napa vineyard with your bottles capped with a wax seal. A barrel produces 25 cases, or 300 bottles of wine, so you are looking at a bottle price of between $20 to $80 per bottle depending upon your selection. THE WINEMAKING PROCESS

At The Wine Foundry, you select the style of wine you want to make, purchase grapes from quality vineyards, crush and make your wine as you choose, and then store it in oak barrels until it’s ready. The Wine Foundry will also help you design a label for your wine, bottle it and, ultimately, market it. Then, who knows, perhaps your Wine Foundry-made cabernet will get a 90+ score and you’ll be on your way. Clients begin their winemaking adventure by consulting with

The Wine Foundry’s team of experienced vintners, headed by Patrick Saboe. A UC Davistrained winemaker, Saboe did stints at Hanna Winery and Pezzi King before coming to The Wine Foundry facility. A consulting winemaker will be assigned and a six- to 24-month plan for your winemaking “Project” will be developed. Once you determine the grape and a style the next decision is the vineyard. The Wine Foundry has contracts with a number of outstanding properties that you can source from. Feeling a need for pedigreed cabernet? How about buying some fruit from the Beckstoffer’s historic G3 Vineyard in the Rutherford AVA? Prefer a pinot noir from the Russian River? Then get some grapes from the Addison Trumbo Vineyard on the prestigious Westside Road. How about a cool climate Chardonnay from Courtney’s Vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills, which is owned by Bill Foley? Once you begin your project, The Wine Foundry will keep you up to date as your vintage progresses from the bud break in the spring, through verasion (the moment the grapes begin to ripen and change color), right up until it is time to call the pick. Once the grapes arrive at the winery in Napa, you can be a part of the production process, sorting the grapes and participating in the press and the punch-downs processes if you like. Throughout the various stages, you can have as much input as you are prepared, or willing, to give in the making of your wine. All the while you can also be working on label designs and a marketing plan. Through a unique arrangement with the TTB (the Alcohol Tax and Trade Bureau, aka: The Feds), The Wine Foundry can help you distribute your wines as well. They can also assist in the creation of a website as part of their Wine Foundry Commerce Platform that allows you to create your own “Boutique Winery” brand. Five years ago this week, Von Burg took control of the facility from what was originally known

as the Crushpad. Since that time they have secured contracts with wineries, expanded and improved the winemaking facility and helped hundreds of budding winemakers along the road to juice. Now they are allowing Napa growers and larger producers to share in the facility, as well, and complete custom crush lots at The Wine Foundry. For a reasonable investment, as a novice you can experience The Wine Foundry and see if you both like it and have an affinity for what it takes to be a winemaker. At the very least, you will get to drink well. Kelly J. Hayes lives in the soon-tobe-designated appellation of Old Snowmass. He can be reached at malibukj@aol.com.

UNDER THE INFLUENCE DEFINA FAMILY CELLARS 2014 CHARDONNAY Matt Defina and his wife Denise have created a brand at The Wine Foundry for their wines that not only provides for great drinking but a great cause, as well. Matt was born with cystic fibrosis, a fatal, genetic disease that affects 30,000 people in the United States. Following a lung transplant in 2012, Matt decided there was an opportunity to give back. Today the family produces wines that share proceeds with a number of charities related to cystic fibrosis. This is an example of the myriad ways that clients can use the Wine Foundry. www.definafamilycellars.com

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS

GREAT EXPECTATIONS THREE DAYS, TWO LEGENDARY CHEFS

MORE THAN 300 DAYS remain until Aspen’s epic food smorgasbord, the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen—but that doesn’t mean we must wait another ten months to enjoy the culinary stylings of world-class chefs. An awesome food weekend is right around the corner: Not one but two top chefs are coming to town for separate AMANDA cooking engagements RAE on Aug. 17, 18, and 19. First up, next Thursday night: esteemed Argentine chef Francis Mallmann will lead the Little Nell team in preparing a five-course menu to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the venue’s first Wine Spectator Grand Award (which it earned yet again in 2017). Known for his mastery of primal, wood-fire cooking techniques, as shown in the first season of critically acclaimed Netflix series “Chef ’s Table,” Mallmann, along with Nell executive chef Matt Zubrod, will stage preparation outdoors, likely in the sand bocce court in front of Ajax Tavern at the base of Aspen Mountain. (Zubrod notes that they plan to set up an infiernillo—“small inferno”—essentially a cooking level arranged between two fires.) Including more than fifty rare wines poured by several Master Sommeliers and others who have worked at the Nell over the past two decades, the 20th Anniversary Wine Dinner for 40 guests is priced at $1,200 per ticket. “It’s expensive, but the wine lineup is what you’re paying for,” Zubrod says. “And eating (Mallmann’s) food without going to Argentina.” Then, on Friday and Saturday, Michelin-starred chef Davide Palluda (All’Enoteca in Canale) will prepare an intimate, seven-course Italian tasting at the Cooking School of Aspen. Capped at 30 seats, these events make full use of the school’s demonstration kitchen, allowing diners the unique opportunity to interact with Palluda while he cooks. Hosted in partnership with Forever Gourmet, a specialty food importer with European roots, the dinners will

12

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

F

involve gourmet ingredients hailing from the Piedmont region as well as wild mushrooms. Tickets are $165; optional wine pairings an additional $75. (Bottles of wine from sister restaurant Rustique Bistro’s cellar that are normally $150 and over will be sold at halfprice, too.) Though purely by coincidence, these guest-chef visits are hardly surprising; Aspen has long been a magnet for creative folks at the top of their field, and locals have come to crave novelty in dining. “We have a great food culture here, of people that bring experience from around the world to our community,” says Cooking School of Aspen founder Rob Ittner. “Sharing what they do is so much fun. The Nell has been on the forefront, doing it well for years. The Cooking School wants to add to that.” Indeed, the Little Nell has been an important career move for a long list of chefs, sommeliers, and hospitality professionals, including chef Ryan Hardy and somms Richard Betts and Bobby Stuckey. And it has often hosted guest chef dinners, including engagements featuring Hakan Thörnström, Kerry Heffernan, Lou Rossi, Jaime Pesaque, and Claude Troisgros in the past two-and-a-half years since Zubrod took the helm. Thörnström, a close friend of fellow Sweden native and Cloud Nine Alpine Bistro general manager Tommy Tolleson, will most likely return this winter, whether at the Nell or elsewhere. “It’s about sharing ideas and seeing other techniques,” says Zubrod, who handpicks kitchen staff to work with the guest chefs. “For the cooks to see it and not have to go work somewhere else is an invaluable lesson. These guys are throwing down!” The Nell dinner will showcase a few of Mallmann’s signature dishes: empanadas, salmon, rib-eye with domino potatoes, and dulce de leche Napolean. The Nell chefs will contribute element 47’s tartare with Emma Farms wagyu beef; Colorado corn and crab chowder with squash blossoms; and wood-fired forest mushrooms. “We all have his book (Seven Fires)—we’re excited,” Zubrod

Aug u st 10 - Aug u st 16, 20 17

says. “We’re shutting down the restaurant for the night. We bought two cords of wood, which is almost more than we use most of the winter, and rebar for building this dome in the inferno. We’ve never done anything like this.” Yet Zubrod has been a guest chef himself. He led the Cooking School’s first Plated dinner last December and recently cheffed a 30th anniversary luncheon at Thomas Keller’s French Laundry in Napa. He’s participating in the San Diego Bay Wine + Food Festival in November, too. Often these are pro-bono gigs, done “for the love and the experience,” he says. “What (Keller) has created is like the culture I’d like to create at the Little Nell.” Of course, Zubrod and Ittner discuss food constantly. “We always talk about places we’ve eaten, chefs we’ve met, meals we’ve had,” Ittner says. “Matt and I share a combined passion on bringing in extraordinary chefs to showcase the fact that we are a global community here in Aspen. We’re inspired by what other people are doing around the world.” Phillip Foss—chef behind Michelin-starred El Ideas in Chicago—may make the trip to the Cooking School this ski season, after canceling last winter due to hip surgery. “He is where the ‘Plated’ idea—a pop-up restaurant—came from,” Ittner says. “My hope is that we create a

market for it after people try this type of dining.” Ittner is working on drawing chefs from Amsterdam, Rome, New York City, and California, those with Michelin stars among them. The difficulty, he says, lies in the cost of getting them here, as well as scheduling an event that requires a fairly high-priced ticket on days that the chefs are not needed at their respective restaurants. (Mallmann, for instance, was already scheduled to visit Aspen for a private event.) Despite the challenges, the concept is instantly alluring to folks who love food. “Each table is pretty much a chef ’s table, seated next to the kitchen where chef is working,” Ittner explains. “Often people look at a multiple-course meal as being stuffy and formal. The fact that we have this demonstration kitchen creates this playfulness with the interaction of the chef.” He credits top chefs of Aspen, Zubrod especially, for helping to foster Aspen’s culinary community while serving bucket-list experiences to the hungry public. “It is going to be one of the best food weeks ever in Aspen,” Ittner declares. Food fanatics, then, should secure tickets pronto—these special dinners are sure to sell out. amandaraewashere@gmail.com

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS

MAKE IT Servings: 1 Start to finish: 5 minutes active, 4 hours inactive

HIBISCUS MARGARITA If you’ve spent much time traveling in Mexico or the southwestern United States, you may have seen folks enjoying an agua fresca on a hot day. Agua frescas are simply water blended with sugar, fresh fruit, seeds (like chia) or dried flowers to make a refreshing, nonalcoholic drink. Fruits like lime, pineapple and watermelon are all popular in agua frescas, but none is more recognizable than the jewel-toned water of the hibiscus flower. Known across the region as agua de Jamaica, hibiscus aqua frescas are sweet and floral. The hibiscus’ use in traditional Latin American cooking doesn’t stop there. In Mexico, the bright red flower can be found in everything from tacos to quesadillas, salsas, liquors and desserts. Martin Matysik, a chef at the Culinary Institute of America, makes a hibiscus margarita, combining two of Mexico’s most beloved beverages for a hot-weather (or any-weather) cocktail. In this recipe, we’ve used mescal, the earthier cousin to tequila. It’s a distilled spirit derived from the agave plant and has many regional styles. You’ll also notice that the recipe includes honey liqueur, which should be available at most liquor stores. If you can’t find it, just omit it and add a dash of honey, which will provide the light sweetness and rich flavor that helps round out the tartness in the cocktail. Experiment with fragrant and floral honeys, like orange blossom.

1 lime wedge, for preparing glasses (optional) Smoked vanilla salt, for garnish (optional) 2 ounces Hibiscus Water (recipe below) 1 ounce mescal 1 ounce honey liqueur ½ ounce orange liqueur 1 ounce agave syrup ½ ounce freshly squeezed lime juice Sliced limes, for garnish Vanilla beans, for garnish (optional) Since this drink is otherwise sweetened, use unsweetened hibiscus water. If you’d like, you can make a big batch (use about 1 cup of dried flowers for every 3 cups of water), reserve some for the cocktail, and sweeten the rest to make a classic agua de Jamaica. Sweeten it to taste with simple syrup or agave syrup. The mixture also makes the perfect popsicle. Dried hibiscus flowers can be purchased online, but you’re likely to pay a premium. If you have a local market that specializes in Mexican or Latin American products, you will almost certainly find hibiscus flowers and other regional delicacies. Because if you’re making margaritas, tacos can’t be far behind!

The SOCIAL SIDE of TOWN

CRUSHING IT

MAY SELBY

THE ASPEN ART MUSEUM’S summer fundraising efforts hit an all-time high this past week with its series of events from Wednesday, Aug. 2, through Friday, Aug 4. It was as festive as it gets starting with Wednesday’s WineCrush at the home of Amy and John Phelan — an intimate evening of fine wine, gourmet cuisine and dancing under a tent festooned in a Moroccan theme. Preview Crush followed on Thursday at Baldwin Gallery with a chance to view the live and silent auction artworks, complimentary and open to one and all. Just a short walk to Casterline | Goodman Gallery, PreviewExtra provided an additional location to see said auction items. The main event

staged on Friday — ArtCrush — returned to the base of Buttermilk in an uplifting environment, with the theme of hot-air balloons and multicolored lanterns draped from the ceiling of the big top tent. Here, the 2017 Aspen Award for Art was presented to renowned contemporary artist Lawrence Weiner, as guests also enjoyed an exquisite wine tasting, seated dinner, and live and silent auctions of major works of contemporary art. Afterward at AfterPartyCrush, DJ Eve Salvail entranced the dance floor at Belly Up. ArtCrush is presented by Sotheby’s; Amy Phelan is event chair; sponsors include Audi, Dom Pérignon, Flexjet, J.P. Morgan, Southern Wine and Spirits

and W Magazine with additional support from Aspen Skiing Company, Baldwin Gallery, Belly Up Aspen, Bethel Party Rentals, Casterline | Goodman Gallery, Halcyon Productions, Jay’s Valet, Paddle8, Pink Monkey Solutions and Ship / Art Denver. ArtCrush benefits the museum’s educational and curatorial programming throughout the year. Through a gift from John and Amy Phelan, admission is always free.

n the heart of downtown Carbondale sits Bonfire Coffee. For many, it is the hub of ‘Bonedale — a slice of what life is like for those who live in and visit Aspen’s funky downvalley neighbor. “I’d say we play a very important role in the Carbondale community,” says Charlie Chacos, proprietor of Bonfire since its inception. “We’re where people come for their morning coffee, to do a little work, grab a bite after yoga or a bike ride, hangout with friends …”

The Main Street space is perfect for this, with a few seats out front and looking out the front window, as well as a spacious coffeehouse-style lounge in back. Even the local artwork on the surrounding walls screams “local.” But even more eye-catching could be work of Bonfire’s baristas. Each made-to-order coffee — from the mocha (espresso, steamed milk and housemade chocolate) and the Bhakti Chai (spicy ginger masala chai steamed with milk) to Hario pour-over (premium single-origin coffee) to a seasonal Nitro iced coffee (cold-brewed coffee on a nitrogen tap) — is crafted to perfection. As are Bonfire’s coffee beans. “Coffee is our roots; it’s what we love and why we opened Bonfire,” says Chacos, a longtime Roaring Fork Valley resident (he

Breakfast choices include always fresh “organic pastries and glutenfree goodies,” a Schmear (your choice of bagel with a generous spread of cream cheese) or an avocado and tomato omelet for breakfast, among other delights. At lunch, try a Pierre Panni (all natural ham with melted Ammerlander Swiss cheese and spicy brown mustard pressed in local ciabatta bread) or a Local “Tuscano” Salad (local seasonal greens, walnuts, seasonal pear with Pecorino

No matter, the choice will be right. “Everything we serve is fresh and made-to-order, which guarantees it’s the best,” Chacos says. “And at the end of the day, that is our goal.” In fact, we can’t think of anything better than a leisurely lunch at Bonfire followed by a to-go Blended Affogato (ice cream, chocolate and espresso, “blended in smooth delight) to stroll the streets of Carbondale. top to bottom: A perfectly crafted mocha; an egg and bacon bagel sandwich with fresh Bonfire coffee; the popular cobb salad.

Little Nell Celebrates 20 Years

on Wine Spectator’s Grand Award List By Kelly J. Hayes

BACK IN 1997, a Clinton was in the White House, a quarterback named Elway was still looking for his first Super Bowl ring and the iPhone was simply a notion in Steve Jobs’ noggin. Closer to home, The Restaurant at The Little Nell hotel was honored for the first time by Wine Spectator with their Grand Award for having one the world’s greatest restaurant wine lists. The world has changed in the past two decades, but one constant that endures is the excellence of

PHOTO BY ANDY LUERSEN

The Little Nell’s wine program. This July, the Spectator once again deemed The Little Nell’s restaurant, now known as Element 47, worthy of recognition. In fact, each and every year since that first Grand Award in 1997, the restaurant in the Nell, be it known as The Restaurant at The Little Nell, Montagna, or Element 47, has been named by the magazine as one of the elites. To put that into perspective, consider that each year Wine

Spectator reviews the wine lists of over 3,500 restaurants around the world. This year, just 89 were named Grand Award winners. That puts the Nell in the top 3 percent of all the lists surveyed. Other restaurants so honored that you may know include Emeril’s New Orleans, Spago in Los Angeles, Daniel in New York, Blackberry Farm in Tennessee and Aureole in Las Vegas. All impressive, but none of those have longer standing as a Grand

Award winner than The Little Nell. “I can’t believe it has been 20 years since the photograph with George Mahaffey (the James Beard Awardwinning chef at the Nell in 1997) and me was in the Spectator,” said Bobby Stuckey, who was the sommelier in “The Dining Room” when the first Grand Award was given. “That was back in the day before blogs and posts and tweets. The Award was like a massive megaphone. It just created an explosion of interest in the Nell.”

THE LITTLE NELL’S 10 MASTER SOMMELIERS According to the Court of Master Sommeliers, just 236 people worldwide, including 194 in the United States, have achieved the level of master sommelier. Here are those from The Little Nell who wear the pin and the year they passed their exam: 1. Richard Betts 2003 2. Bobby Stuckey 2004 3. Jason Smith 2005 4. Jonathan Pullis 2009 5. Brian McClintic 2011 6. Dustin Wilson 2011 7. Sabato Sagaria 2012 8. Virginia Philip 2012 9. Sur Lucero 2012 10. Carlton McCoy 2013

A GRAND PARTY

Deservedly, The Little Nell is planning a celebration worthy of their 20 years of excellence. On Aug. 17, Element 47 will host an extraordinary wine and food pairing party to revel in its victory. “In commemoration of this historic achievement, we are preparing one of the most special dinners ever planned at The Little Nell,” said Carlton McCoy, who in his role as wine director of the property is the current steward of this decades-long legacy. McCoy will be joined in this singular celebration by a cadre of exceptional sommeliers, who are both alumni of the Nell and great friends to those who have lived in Aspen the past 20 years. “We have invited several of the sommeliers who played a part in earning this award over the past two decades to join us in service and as guests at the dinner,” McCoy said. Star somms Rajat Parr and Robert Bohr will also be attending and pouring wines. In addition, executive chef Matt

Zubrod of Element 47 will be welcoming one of the most innovative chefs in the world, Francis Mallman, to the restaurant’s kitchen for the special evening. The Argentine “God of Fire,” Mallman will captivate the assembled with his famed Patagonian barbecuing skills. Zubrod is justifiably giddy about working with Mallman. “I look forward to learning from the legend,” said the Nell’s enthusiastic chef. “It’s the first time I have bought rebar #10 for cooking! Can’t wait to use the infiernillo!” Mallman in the mountains is not to be missed. The evening will commence in the manicured poolside gardens of the Nell’s terrace with passed hors d’oeuvres from the two chefs, as Mallman stokes the fires for the main course. A signature cocktail, Fennel Delight, with grapefruit and Roca Patron will set the mood. Dinner will be served inside Element 47 and while the cuisine will be notable, the focus,

appropriately, will be on the wines and those pouring them. “More than 50 wines, hand selected from our cellar, will be poured from the greatest producers of the world,” McCoy said. Wines on offer will include selections from Domaine Dujac, Jacques Frederic Mugnier, Domaine Leflaive, Domaine Armand Rousseau, Giacomo Conterno, Soldera, Chateau Rayas, Guigal Cote Rotie, La Mission Haut Brion, Schrader, Gaja, and Domaine Roulot. That is an all-star list of many of the most prestigious wines on the planet. To taste them at one time, in one place, is well, grand. THE BEST OF THE BEST

Of course, 20 years of honors can only result when people labor to excel. The wine team at Element 47 with McCoy — Csaba Oveges, Chris Dunaway, Erik Elliott and Jesse Libby — currently continues the tradition of hard work and intense attention to detail. But part of what will make the

evening so special will be the return of those earlier sommeliers who established the initial standards. Returning to the floor for the celebration will be Aspen’s Jonathan Pullis. “Working as a server, sommelier and wine director at TLN was a wonderful experience,” said Pullis, who became a master sommelier there in 2009 and is now CEO of Chefs Club. “The word ‘culture’ has become hackneyed, but the lineage of fantastic, hospitalityoriented individuals is inspiring.” Dustin Wilson, a star of the film “Somm” and the man who honed the list at Eleven Madison Park into a Grand Award winner before opening an innovative NYC wine shop called Verve, will be coming back to the Nell, as well. “My time at TLN holds some of my fondest memories in life and being a part of the team there was a thrill on many levels,” Wilson said from his home in New York. “It helped to both shape my professional life and fostered some of my best friendships.” Also from New York, Sabato Sagaria, who progressed from the prestigious Food & Beverage director position at the Nell to a key post with Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group, arguably the nation’s most influential culinary company, returns to his Aspen roots. (see sidebar) But, perhaps most appropriate for this event will be the return of Bobby Stuckey, who was the sommelier at the Little Nell in 1997 when the Grand Award was first acquired. Stuckey wrote the essay to the Spectator that began the streak of success. He will

come over the hill from Boulder, where he runs Frasca Food & Wine, his epic, Italian wine-centric restaurant that has been a James Beard Award winner for Outstanding Wine Program. “Mark Pape (an earlier Nell sommelier) had originally applied for the Grand Award but the next year I put together an essay that explained how we were changing from a Bordeaux-based house and incorporating wines from Burgundy and some cult wines from California. I talked about our Riedel stemware, which was new at that time and our education program,” Stuckey remembers of those heady days. “A month or so later a single diner came in and ordered a bunch of half bottles of some pretty unique wines. I did the service and after dinner he asked if we could meet the next morning at 10 a.m.,” Stuckey said. “He picked up the list and asked me to produce some really obscure bottles. We had just done inventory and we had everything spot on.” The issue came out that fall and everything changed. “It was a testament to Eric Calderon and Connie Thornburg (GM and F&B director, respectively, at the Nell in 1997) and to the management today that they supported the wine program the way they have for 20 years.” Each of the former Nell sommeliers above, including McCoy, are among just 236 people worldwide who wear the pin designating them as a master sommelier. This is not a coincidence, as the Nell has come to be known throughout the wine world as the cradle of master sommeliers. Ten

masters have come through the property as employees at some point in their careers. An unprecedented number for any restaurant.

IF YOU GO ... Space is limited for this special event, with reservations available on The Little Nell website via Resy for $1,200/ person. For questions or further details, contact Little Nell Wine Director Carlton McCoy: cmccoy@ thelittlenell.com.

PLACE IN COMMUNITY

The Nell also has often served as the location for the diploma exams administered by the Court of Master Sommeliers to those who are attempting to achieve what is one of the most prestigious and arduous wine honors, master sommelier. As a result, the property has a near mythic reputation among those in the wine world as not just a place that sells great wine, but as a temple on the Wine Mount. In fact, the focus on wine education is an obsession shared by the entire Little Nell staff. Forty-one members of the culinary team have taken, and passed, at least one level of the Court of the Master Sommelier exams. It is this confluence of factors that has made The Little Nell not just a global wine destination but a key part of both Aspen’s identity and Aspen

Skiing Co.’s luxury branding. “The wine program at the Nell is totally in line with our mission and what makes spending time in the valley so powerful,” said Mike Kaplan, president and CEO of Aspen Skiing Co., which owns The Little Nell. “Because it’s not just about the quality of the wine, it’s the way it’s shared, celebrated and deeply understood and appreciated. And that’s what AspenSnowmass is all about, enjoying the mountains, community, and place at an elevated level.” The most important thing about Skico’s rich legacy of wine excellence is the impact it has on the diners and guests who come to The Little Nell. Consider for a moment the many post-ski suppers that guests of the Nell have enjoyed over the past 20 years. Think of the wedding toasts that have been made in the gardens or the successful wooings fueled by glasses of wine in the Living Room, or the business deals that have been consummated because of a bottle of Burgundy at the bar. It starts to become clear that the men and women of The Little Nell’s wine program, and the wines they pour, help shape the social fabric of Aspen. It is about more than awards and honors. It is about making people happy. Something the Little Nell Wine Team has done, grandly, for over 20 years. Kelly J. Hayes lives in the soon-tobe-designated appellation of Old Snowmass.

Sabato sagaria became a master sommelier in 2012 while working at The Little Nell. He is now the chief restaurant officer for Union Square Hospitality Group. He shared his thoughts on the Grand Award: I wouldn’t miss an opportunity to celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Little Nell’s Grand Award and all of the talented individuals that have helped shape the Nell’s legacy in the wine world and served as inspiration and mentors to me throughout my career. Right around the time The Nell first received the Grand Award, I was the wine director at The Greenbrier Hotel and subsequently The Inn at Little Washington. During the nine years I spent in rural WV and Va., I would scour wine lists around the country for inspiration. The Nell, The French Laundry, and Frasca were three of my go-to’s. When I was moving to NYC, I came across a hard copy of one of the original lists Richard had written at the Nell, that was dog-eared from flipping through it so frequently. Reading about people like Bobby, Richard and Jay showed me that a career in wine was

possible. Today I am honored to call them friends and mentors. I am grateful to them for the doors they helped open and the advice and coaching they provided me along my journey. They were the mother yeast of an extremely rich wine culture that was built around accessibility rather than exclusivity and that culture was both guest and industry facing. It was that culture that reinspired me and supported me along the way to resume my wine studies which I had consciously left behind when I moved to Colorado. Aspen is a very competitive town, I got better at snowboarding, road biking, and mountain biking by training with others. They challenged me and pushed me harder that I could push myself. It is that same passion and perseverance that all these great professionals also applied to their wine studies. It was Jay that talked me into getting back into wine and it was Dustin and Carlton that really helped get me across the finish line while studying for my master sommelier exam. I cannot emphasize the importance of the entire Colorado sommelier community with people like Bobby, Richard, Jay, Jonathan, Dustin, Carlton, Chubby, Brett, Damon, Shawn and so

many more that have over the years helped establish the Nell a truly oneof-a-kind wine destination not only in the United States but in the world. Each generation of sommeliers respectfully evolves upon the great work done before them, invests in the team around them, and serves as ambassadors of The Little Nell as they continue to pay it forward to the sommelier community long after they have left the floor. I am grateful for my time at the Nell and the opportunities, and friendships it has provided me with over the years both personally and professionally.

A

sk a local where to go on any given night, and you likely hear at least “Jimmy’s” at least a few times. That’s because Jimmy’s – An American Restaurant & Bar, has stood the test of time … and for good reason. Located in upstairs spot overlooking Aspen’s Restaurant Row, Jimmy’s is king. Proprietor (and namesake) Jimmy Yeager, who also owns Jimmy’s Bodega on the Mill Street Mall, says the key to success is good food. “We’ve changed the menu over the years, but we’ve never changed our commitment to serving the freshest food, prepared in the best way, to our guests,” he says. In fact, Jimmy’s has found a unique to constantly improve and update its menu — including its hugely popular (and affordable) bar menu — while not straying far from its roots as a contemporary American restaurant. On the appetizer and soups/ salads menu, for example, Jimmy’s Famous Crab Cake and the Roasted Corn Soup — longtime favorites — are listed side-by-side with new

PRICES Starters, $10-$20; sides, $6-12; entrees, $30-$72. AMBIENCE Upscale casual, patio for summer, hearty portions. SIGNATURE DISHES Jimmy’s Crab Cake, Mad Dog Ranch Salad, Prime Cowboy Rib-Eye, Surf & Turf.

offerings such as American Style Kobe Tataki (shredded daikon radish, topped with ginger ponzu sauce, garlic chips and wasabi), or Pan Roasted Organic Salmon served with tomato and cucumber rolls with fresh dill, creamed sheep’s feta cheese, summer succotash and roasted lemon emulsion. Pair the latter with Lauren’s Naked & Famous (Del Maguey Vida mezcal, Aperol, Yellow Chartreuse and lime) and the former with a crisp glass Domaine Anne Gros, Les Barreaux 1er cru, Vosne-Romanee 1999, for a perfect meal. Moving to the entrees, you can never go wrong with staples like Roasted Colorado Lamb Loin, Rocky Mountain Ruby Red Trout or one of several steak offerings (our recommendation: the New York strip, or pair a Blackened Petite Filet with a broiled New England lobster tail for a surf & turf like no other in town). Of course chef Manuel Diaz is never satisfied. “The way I work, I just keep trying new things as I get an idea,” he says. “Sometimes they are inspired by something I’ve tried, but often it’s

the result of what’s freshest, what’s unique, what can we bring to the menu to create new experiences.” Want more experiences? Any of Jimmy’s sides — mac & cheese, creamed spinach, mashed sweet potatoes — are hearty and complement any dish; for dessert, go big with a Volcano Cake or Cookie Jar for the Table. And don’t forget to sample Jimmy’s wide selection of wine and cocktails. For many locals, this is what brings them to Jimmy’s… and combined with the food, is what makes them keep coming back — two decades later! left: Roasted Lamb Loin with layered eggplant and goat cheese, spinach gravy, lamb demi glaze, and mashed potatoes. top: Ahi Tuna Tartare dressed with ginger soy sauce and served with compressed cucumber rolls and yuzu ice. bottom: Colorado Cheesecake made with Haystack Mountain goat cheese, red berry sauce and dark chocolate paper, seved with Yamazaki 12-year whiskey.

‘MISFORTUNE’ SMILES IN THE OPENING PAGES of Emily Culliton’s wickedly funny debut novel, “The Misfortune of Marion Palm,” the title character stuffs a backpack full of stolen cash and goes on the lam. What follows is a dark, cleverly written caper and screwball social satire from an exciting new voice out of Colorado. Marion has quietly been embezzling funds from her private Brooklyn school where she works, spending it on home renovations and vacations. When an audit looms, she packs a bag and hits the road, leaving her poet husband and two daughters to pick up the pieces. Culliton, a Brooklyn native and PhD candidate in Denver University’s

creative writing department, wrote the novel during her three years of course work in Colorado, where she studied with Laird Hunt, Brian Kiteley and Selah Saterstrom. She’s since headed back to New York, where I recently reached her on the phone to chat about her novel. These are excerpts of our conversation. ANDREW TRAVERS: How was writing the novel in Denver? Did you find a creative community and inspiration here? EMILY CULLITON: Definitely. I wrote most of the book when I was in school and I found that sometimes the Denver community felt more welcoming than the Brooklyn

community. It was a great place to write. AT: Did “The Misfortune of Marion Palm” result directly from the program? Was it your thesis? EC: I had been working on it for two years before I got there. But I hadn’t been working on it full time and it wasn’t something I felt strongly about until I arrived at DU and realized that I had to throw away most of what I had and start over again. So much of it was created talking to my professors and friends in the program. It was more of an outside project. My next book will be part of my dissertation. AT: What can you tell me about

that project? EC: It’s still early days, but I’m looking at novellas. AT: One of the things that’s so refreshing about the book is that Marion isn’t a textbook likable protagonist. She can be hard to root for and you don’t seem worried about readers identifying with her. What were the challenges or the fun of writing a character like that? EC: Part of why she’s unlikable is that she does unlikable things. Focusing on the act was exciting for me as a writer, asking, “What would a person do if they weren’t concerned about likability or if they’d given up on that part of their

lives?” It was fun. AT: Style-wise, you chose to write the novel in the present tense. What about the story drew you there? Its not a perspective readers often see. EC: I had been writing short stories and it took a while for me to wrap my head around a novel. Keeping it active and moving forward was something I struggled with in the beginning. I tried out the present tense voice with the third person, and when I started doing that — rotating between each character — it gave me the pacing that I wanted with the story, but it also allowed me to not set it in a particular time. It allowed me freedom and it kept me going. AT: And the embezzlement plotline was inspired by an experience you had in high school? EC: Not my high school. Actually I don’t even know what high school it was, but there had been a rumor at

Brooklyn High School that a principal had embezzled $20,000 from his school and that he had used the money to furnish his apartment. What he had chosen to spend the money on was really interesting to me. It was vain but it was also kind of practical. But then, obviously, I was like, “Well, didn’t he know he would be caught?” And that was fascinating to me. AT: So you hung on to that story and filed it away for a novel to write later in life? EC: Embezzlement is one of those things that you start seeing everywhere once you’re interested. And then people started sending me a lot of articles about small-time embezzlements. My sister told me about a couple that embezzled from the pharmacy they worked at, to start their own pharmacy on the same block.

BOOK REVIEW

‘THE QUIET CHILD’ “THE QUIET CHILD” is 6-yearold Danny McCray, who is indeed quiet. He doesn’t speak, though doctors have said he can but has “elective mutism.” Danny’s presence is often disconcerting to the residents of Cottonwood, California, where he is “a ghost child, a quiet child the townspeople referred only to in whispers.” They blame him for bringing whatever ails the town. John Burley sets his third engrossing novel in 1954, when anyone the least bit different, such as Danny, is looked on with suspicion, and Danny is even more of an enigma to his parents. His mother, Kate, is suffering from a debilitating illness that occurred shortly after Danny’s premature birth. His father, Michael,

are concerned about Sean, few care if Danny is found. Burley never lets the tension lag as he keeps the suspense high. While “The Quiet Child” delves into ungrounded fears perpetuated by the town, the family dynamics are paramount to character development and plot. Michael loves his wife without reservation, but the love he has for his children has conditions. How the family’s situation evolves into the boys’ kidnapping culminates with myriad jaw-dropping twists.

blames Danny for his wife’s condition and, frankly, is afraid of his son. Only Danny’s 10-year-old brother, Sean, truly loves him. Both boys are kidnapped after Michael takes Danny and Sean for an ice cream run at the local grocery store. Michael remembers seeing a stranger across the street when he and Sean went into the store, leaving Danny to wait in the car. Because Sean and Danny were inseparable, the older boy went to keep his brother company. The search sets off a massive search by Sheriff Jim Kent and the state police. The parents, especially Kate, seem distraught, but as the days and weeks pass, everyone is viewed as a suspect. While the town residents
