Country songster Chris Young star of Tri-County Fair

Country singer Chris Young will be live on stage on Saturday, Aug. 30 as the highlight of the Tri-County Fair. The singer has accomplished more by 28 than some

artists do in a lifetime. Already a Grammy-nominated recording artist, hes also a dynamic live performer con-sistently in demand, an international ambassador for his genre, a talented songwriter with five Number Ones to his name by the way, he wrote four of them and a handsome charmer to boot.

Now, with the release of his fourth album A.M. (RCA Nashville), the man known for his classic baritone and melt-your-heart ballads has revealed himself to be king of the good time, too. The lead single Aw Naw electrified crowds and stormed up the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart to peak at #4. His latest single, Who I Am With You, is currently at #11 on that same chart. The song was also chosen as the #1 Country Song by Rolling Stone readers.

Country heart and soul It only takes two words to sum up the career of Chris

Young: Definitely country. Ive always loved country music, and I really liked

singing it as a kid, Young remembers. So I was like, Thats what I want to do. I just kind of always knew.

Blessed with parents who encouraged his art, the Murfreesboro, Tenn., native soon found his way into musical theater, jazz training, and six years of classical voice, which honed his emerging baritone into something truly special.

The album A.M. is defiantly, definitely country. Everybodys got a definition of what country music is,

Young says. Never before has it been so broad as to what can be on a country radio station, and what country music can be. It really just has to be what you feel as an artist.

Chris Young will be joined on stage by opening act Courtney Cole.

A native of Mandeville, La., Cole made her journey to Music City in 2005. Shortly after graduating from Belmont University, Courtney was cast in the first season of CMTs hit series, CMTs Next Superstar. She quickly received her first songwriting deal and began writing with Nashvilles biggest hitmakers including Brett James (Jesus Take The Wheel) and Jus-tin Weaver (Get Off On The Pain).

While audiences might be less familiar with

Coles stage presence get ready! Shes an up-and-coming star with a great voice, a dynamic stage presence and a rare connection to the audience.

Tickets for the Chris Young - Courtney Cole concert are available from the Winnemucca Con-vention and Visitors Authority website: www.winnemucca.com. Tickets are $30 for general admission; reserved seats are $50 and $75. Pur-chase your reserved seat tickets by Aug. 15 and youll be entered into a drawing to win two back stage passes to meet the performers! F

His current single Who I Am With You is #11 on Billboard Hot Country Songs

Chris Young and Courtney Cole will be on stage in Winnemucca on Sat-urday, Aug. 30 as part of the Tri-Coun-ty Fair. Tickets start at $30 and are avail-able from www.winnemucca.com


Nevada Outdoor School will be hosting the 6th Annual Buckaroo Dutch Oven Cook-Off Saturday, Aug. 23 in Winnemucca.

It is Nevada Outdoor Schools annual fundraiser and this years event promises to be bigger and better than ever! This competition is fast becoming a major northern Nevada event, so mark your cal-endars now!

Nevada Outdoor School (NOS) is a rural Nevada non-profit orga-nization providing outdoor edu-cation to area youth in the form of inquiry-based science lessons in the classroom to grades K-8, Field Trips, Summer Camps, Out-door Ethics and ATV Safety, just to name a few of our programs.

This year NOS is reaching stu-dents and their families in Hum-boldt, Lander, Elko, Pershing and Clark counties.

Our mission is to inspire exploration of the natural world, responsible stewardship of our habitat and dedication to com-munity. NOS programs have proven to be a fantastic value and experience for our local youth and their families and we are able to offer almost all of our programs for free or a very small fee thanks to federal grants, and private, corporate and foundation contributions.

As we all know, federal fund-ing is becoming quite scarce, especially for education, so pri-vate donations and creative fund-raising efforts are becoming more and more important to the future success of our organization.

The Buckaroo Dutch Oven Cook-Off is one of those efforts and is becoming more popular each year. This year we again hope to expand our participation of Dutch Oven enthusiasts by being a member of the Interna-tional Dutch Oven Society (IDOS)

and extending an invitation across the country. Northern Nevada is a beautiful summer destination, especially for those who enjoy outdoor recreation.

This year, in addition to the original two beginner categories for entry, we will have a separate IDOS sanctioned competition that could send you to the Nation-al Finals Dutch Oven Cook-Off. The IDOS sanctioned competitors will cook the standard three dish-es; bread, main dish and a dessert ($45 entry fee).

The first place winner for that category will receive $300, a tro-phy, and a special invitation to the National Finals Dutch Oven Cook-Off in Sandy, Utah next Spring.

Beanmaster ($35 entry fee) entrants prepare a main dish and dessert.

Chuck Wagon ($25 entry fee) entrants prepare a main dish with cash prizes, trophies and bragging rights for the next year.

After official judging, a public tasting is offered for a suggested donation and there will be lots of raffle prizes along with live music to keep things entertaining.

This is NOSs major fundraiser and your chance to come and support our fantastic programs by bringing your family and friends out for a day of good food and great fun!

Please feel free to check out our website at www.nevadaout-doorschool.org to see all the fan-tastic outdoor activities NOS is able to offer. You may send any questions or inquiries to [email protected]. We will happily send the registration form, rules, directions, and any-thing else you may need to come on out to Winnemucca, Nevada to join us for a great time, lots of great food and hopefully youll make some new friends along the way.

Over the past year, Frank Solivan & Dirty Kitchen have been taking the bluegrass world by storm. With the release of their new album Cold

Spell on Aug. 12, they are poised to branch out even further into the burgeoning roots music scene.

The band will perform in Winnemucca on Thursday, Aug. 7 at 7 p.m. at The Martin Hotel.

Fronted by m a n d o l i n i s t , singer and song-writer Frank Solivan, the band has been nominated for multiple IBMA awards includ-ing Instrumental Group of the Year and Emerg-ing Artist of the year, and their current tour schedule includes some of the most important tastemaker festivals in the roots music world.

Their new album Cold Spell will solidify their position as torchbearers for the new generation of progressive bands taking blue-grass from its traditional roots to a younger

DRAIN AWAY YOUR TROUBLES

Dirty Kitchen Band washes into Winnemucca

and broader audience.The albums 10 tracks show just how far the tradi-

tional bluegrass instrumentation of banjo, mandolin, guitar and acoustic bass can go in the right hands. From the evocative opening track Say It Isnt So, through the bluesy No Life in this Town, to the future jam grass anthem She Said She Will (featur-ing Solivans bluesy tenor vocals and a jaw dropping banjo performance from Mike Munford, International Bluegrass Music Associations reigning Banjo Player of the Year), Frank Solivan and his bandmates (Munford on banjo, Danny Booth on bass and Chris Luquette

on guitar) take their brand of bluegrass through the paces proving track after track that bluegrass can rock and groove. With special guests Leon Alexander, Sam Bush, John Cowan, Rob Ickes and Megan McCormick.

This event is presented by Great Basin Arts and Entertainment, a local all volunteer grass-roots non-profit, organized to bring world class perfor-mances to our community. Tickets are available at Global Coffee, Natures Corner and The Martin Hotel or online via the Martin Hotel website: www.themartinhotel.com. For more information visit www.gbae.org. F

The revitalization of cow-boy music and poetry in recent years has allowed Guy and Pipp Gillette to com-bine their life long interest in the history of the west and its music with their musical experience.

The Gillette Brothers will perform Friday, Aug. 1 at the Eureka Opera House.

As the Gillette Brothers, they have recorded and

released six albums of tradi-tional cowboy music inter-spersed with a few originals.

Pipp Gillette also has a busy solo career, while broth-er Guy runs the ranch.

Most recently they have been exploring the celtic roots, country blues, min-strel and medicine show songs that influenced cowboy music.

Since taking over the running of the family ranch in 1983, the Gillette Broth-ers, Guy & Pipp, have found that diversification is not only

a necessity, it keeps things interesting. Their involve-ment in the cattle business as well as the music business both as performers and music venue operators proves challenging.

Built in 1880 and recently restored, the Eureka Opera House is easily found in the center of Eureka. Perfor-mances begin at 7 p.m., and tickets are available at the door. For more information visit www.co.eureka.nv.us/opera/opera05.htm or call (775) 237-6006. F

Carving on aspens has been an almost universal Basque sheepherder tradition since the late 1800s.

The quality and readability of the carvings varies a great deal. An expert carver knew how to pick the right tree and the right tool, and how to make an incision of the right depth to encourage the perfect scar to form within a few years.

A new photography exhib-it at the Northeasern Nevada Museum in Elko by Nancy Nagel and Ruby Yrueta Low-ery showcases these carvings. On display through the end of August. and open during regular museum hours. F

Plans for the celebra-tion of the 150th year of what has long been known as the Ninety-Six Ranch in Para-dise Valley, Nevada have been ongoing for more than a year.

Now that the Stewart fam-ily is in the final days before the party of a lifetime, set for Aug. 3-9, everything is coming together.

A few folks have dropped out, a few things have changed, but we are moving forward with the fol-lowing in mind - just keep it cool and well make it through, said Kris Stewart, whos been at the forefront of arranging the celebration.

Stewart said many people have stepped up and offered their help and theyve been thrilled to take advantage of the offers, which will make it a community celebration

150 Years of History

Stewarts 96 Ranch sesquicentennial

Heres are a few quick notes of planned events, check the Stew-arts 96 ranch web site for full details of each days events as well as a synopsis of the ranchs history and current operation.

Sunday, August 3 Bicycle Poker Run through Paradise Valley co-sponsored by Stewarts Ninety-Six Ranch Sesquicen-tennial & Bikes and More in Winnemucca.

Stewart said the poker run will be A great chance to see a lot of Paradise Valley not normally open to public - great history, and a fun family day.

Tuesday, August 5 - A nature walk led by USFS and FFA is planned in the Hinkey Summit area. Participants can learn about plants, animals, geology and history of the area and learn how ranching and water development for livestock have improved the mountains for all.

Wednesday, August 6 There will be barrel racing at the Winnemucca Fairgrounds - There is $1,500 in added money in this 4D event, and there are no cards required to run, said Stewart added that there are youth, local and even a mens match race.

Thursday, August 7 Stock Family Reunion at Firemens Park, Paradise Valley, starting at 4 pm. William Stock, founder of Ninety-Six Ranch is the nexus of many of Humboldt Countys oldest and most established families including members of the Schwartz, Chabot, Miller and Stewart families.

Friday, August 8 8 am Ninety-Six Ranch Invitational Golf Tournament benefiting Lowry Golf.

Friday, August 8th 4 pm Ninety-Six Ranch Sponsored Tommy Lee Team Roping.

Saturday, August 9 Stewarts Ninety-Six Ranch, Paradise Valley, a noon until 11 pm sesquicentennial celebration.

Well have a beautiful mounted color guard and some very interesting and touching speakers. The ranch is providing paid transportation for seniors who wish to attend through the Senior Center. We have a group from Fallon Naval Air Station slated to attend. The evening will feature a steak dinner, concert and dancing.

Sunday, August 10th - Buckaroo Breakfast served up at Par-adise Valley Community Hall and an invitation to a 3 pm Cow-boy Church service in the Paradise Valley Community Church.

For us, this is a once in a lifetime event said Kris Stewart. perhaps our daughter Patrice will be fortunate enough to host a 200-year celebration one day. Stewart said she and her hus-band Fred want their daughter to be left with the memories and the future of being a fifth generation Nevada Rancher, raising some of Nevadas best beef right in real-life Paradise.

Events in brief

Ranchs weeklong celebration is one of states signature events

PARADISE VALLEY and endeavour. Stewart said Blake Duncan, Paradise Valley FFA president is the volunteer coordinator.

No question the sesquicentennial party is an ambitious undertaking, with events spanning a week. Winnemuc-cas Convention and Visitors Authority and Humboldt County have assisted with financing, recognizing that the number of out-of-town visitors already signed-up to attend the event will bring business pay-back for their investment.

A good-size chunk of 96-Ranch money has gone into the pot as well.

The 96-Ranch Sesquecentennial celebration is listed on the states sesquicentennial events calendar as a sig-nature event with details and a connection to the ranch website for more details including a history of the ranch, founded by German immigrant William (Wilhelm) Stock in 1864. 150 years later, it is still owned and operated by the fourth and fifth generations of William Stocks direct descendants.

We believe it is very important to tell good news stories about ranching in our State and agriculture, as a positive and sustainable way of life, said Stewart of the motivation for all of the work and money thats gone into the celebration.

We made a point of working with one of our federal land management agencies (USFS) on one of our events, because we want to show that mainstream Nevada Ranchers work with federal managers and together, we strive to meet our goals and be positive stewards of this land we share. F

Fallon beats the heat with outdoor concert The Dusty 45s take the stage at Oats Park Art Center Aug. 16

The City of Fallon is hosting a free concert in the park with the Dusty 45s.

This event starts at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 16 and the Dusty 45s will take the stage at 7:30 p.m.

Seattles Dusty 45s have a reputation for firing up the crowd. They deliver their rockin, high-ener-gy music at just the right throttle to keep fans on their feet, begging for more. Over the years, the group has devoured styles ranging from twang coun-try, jump blues, surf, and pure rock & roll, mixed-in elements from influences such as Dixieland and Jazz, and now serve-it-up as a sizzling sound all their own. With two wailing electric

guitars, a slappin upright bass and some guaranteed knock-down drumming, they take it to 11 with a blazing trumpet.

The Dusty 45s have been thrilling crowds for over a decade. The readers of the Seattle Weekly voted them Best of Seattle 3 years in a row. In 2007 Huels enchanted the theater crowd, starring as Buddy Holly in Seattles 5th Avenue Theaters production of The Buddy

Holly Story.This fun night out will also feature the

raffle for the City of Fallons Live Local Grand Prize Car. In honor of Nevadas Sesquicenten-nial there will be a special singing of Home Means Nevada before the Dusty 45s per-formance. For additional information please visit www.visitfallonnevada.com or call (775) 423-4556. F

to grow the Hearts of Gold cantaloupe variety in the Fal-lon area, in 1911. They were grown here in abundance in

the 1920s and 1930s in the region.

Rick Lattin, with Lat-tin Farms in Fallon, said his family has been grow-ing Hearts of Gold since the 1950s. Nevadas Hearts of Gold market crashed early in the century when California farmers grew hybrid variet-ies that stood up better to shipping.

A few families kept the

variety alive in north-ern Nevada. Com-pared with hybrid cantaloupes, Hearts of Gold have a short shelf life, once ripened, they last approximately three days if kept cool.

The Fallon Can-taloupe Festival cel-ebrates this delicious fruit with whole fruit on sale, plus a variety of vendors offering plenty of fruit, barbecue and other treats for sale. In addi-tion there are several stage acts and games,

displays and vendors. The Fallon Cantaloupe

Festival is held at the Chur-chill County Fairgrounds over Labor Day weekend. The fun begins Aug. 29 and continues through Aug. 31.

Paruku Project highlights Aboriginal art and science

Paruku is the region in Australias Western Desert that surrounds the inland body of water known to settlers as Lake Gregory. Named after the English-born explorer Sir August Greg-

ory, this terminal desert lake has long been a resource for the Walmajarri-speaking Aboriginal people. The ancient shoreline of Lake Gregory contains what may be the oldest sites of continuous human cultural production in the world, with artifacts excavated there estimated to be as old as 50,000 years.

The local Aboriginal peopleapproximately 150 men and women who are referred to as the Traditional Own-ers of Parukulive in the nearby settlement of Mulan. The unique cultural and environmental values of Paruku led the Australian government to declare it an Indigenous Protected Area, or IPA, in 2001.

Nevada Museum of Art hosts display RENO

The Paruku Project was a two-year effort consisting of teams of scientists, artists, and writers working in this Aborig-inal desert community, one of the poorest and most remote in Australia. The first task of the teams was to assess current conditions. They found an environment severely stressed by invasive species and a culture slowly losing its identity. The second task was to design and imple-ment cross-cultural and transformational responses to these conditions, many of which involved artmaking.

Australian artist Mandy Martin and conservationist Guy Fitzhardinge, along with writer and artist Kim Mahood, worked with Walmajari people to revital-ize the art center in Mulan, which in turn helped attract attention and funding from policy makers to address challenges facing the region.

This exhibit is on display in Feature Gallery North at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno. F


Ray Bonneville is a poet of the demimonde who didnt write his first song until his early 40s, some 20 years after he started performing.

But with a style that sometimes draws comparisons to JJ Cale and Daniel Lanois, this blues-influenced, New Orleans-inspired song and groove man, as hes been so aptly described, luckily found his rightful calling.

Bonneville will be on stage at The Martin Hotel in Winnemucca on Wednesday, Aug. 27.

Born in Quebec, his family moved to Boston when he was 12. He served a year in Vietnam as a Marine, struggled and overcame drug addiction, earned a pilots license in Colorado, then moved to Alaska, then Seattle, and Paris and New Orleans. But it took a close call while piloting a seaplane across the Cana-dian wilderness to make him decide it was time to get busy writing songs gritty narratives inspired by a lifetime of hard-won knowledge set against his gritty, soulful guitar and harmonica playing.

Bonnevilles latest album is Easy Gone, released

On Easy Gone, Bonneville delivers 10 reasons why longev-ity pays off. On each song, his taut guitar-work shimmers like the scales on coiled rattler, menacing and confident. His voice carries the rich, natural timbre of time and his harmonica rhythms add an extra dollop of grit to his streetwise sound. Produced by Bonneville and Justin Douglas, Easy Gone wears the faded workclothes of a man who knew when he said I do to a highway, as he sings in Who Do Call the Shots, that it wasnt going to be an easy marriage. But he also knew divorce was

Heartfelt Blues beatsRay Bonneville channels life of trials into music

WINNEMUCCA

not an option, and affirms his vows in soul-ful lyrics that balance thoughtful observation, impassioned emotion and the restless soul of a wanderer.

An Austin resident since 2006, Bonneville still puts the rhythms and soul of New Orleans into much of his music.

His songs carry a groove and momentum thats uniquely his and will always be a part

of him, no matter where he roams.This event is presented by Great Basin Arts

and Entertainment, a local all volunteer grass-roots non-profit, organized to bring world class performances to our community. Tickets are available at Global Coffee, Natures Corner and The Martin Hotel or online via the Martin Hotel website: www.themartinhotel.com. For more information visit www.gbae.org. F

What was the untamed West really like? Join author Mary Jo Sonntag for story-telling and readings from her book, Write, If You Live to Get There, the true story of her ancestors westward migration from Vermont to northern California, told through a series of letters written by members of the Phillips family.

The collection of corre-spondence, spanning more than 120 years, paints a rich and detailed portrait of life on the America frontier -includ-ing the Lake Tahoe region in the 19th and early 20th

centuries. By reading select-

ed letters, displaying vintage family pho-tographs, and using her own captivating storytelling ability, Mary Jo will intro-duce audiences to the daily thoughts and activities of the intrepid Phillips clan and chronicle how they com-bined their entrepreneurial skills and hospitable instincts to build prominent resorts in the Lake Tahoe region at Phillips Station, Rubicon Springs, and Meeks Bay, some of which existed until 1953 when the snows col-lapsed the buildings.

The readings will be held Tuesday, Aug. 5 at the Span-ish Springs Library in Sparks; Aug. 12 at the Sparks Library and Aug. 20 at the North-west Reno Library.

Ill be sharing tales about ancestors like JWD Phillips,

who ran for State Assem-bly twice as an i n d e p e n d e n t and lost both times by a nar-row margin. S u p e r i n t e n -dent of mines, this fascinating man developed several patents

for mining equipment, says Mary Jo.

Youll also learn about Mehitable Jane Ball Phillips, who taught the Indians a lesson about manners after they startled her awake by peering through her bedroom window, and about the leg-endary Snow Shoe Thomp-son, who used Norwegian snow shoes to deliver mail throughout the Sierra Neva-das for 20 years, even though he was never paid a nickel.

Sonntags presentations will be open to the public and free of charge. F

Caravanasary awaits For countless centuries, travelers along

the Silk Route crossed paths in caravansa-ries, a network of oases and sanctuaries that dotted the 4,000-mile road from Europe to East Asia.

These bustling caravan stops offered more than just shelter from the desert wilderness; they were vital centers of cul-tural exchange, bringing together trad-ers, pilgrims, monks, nomads, traveling entertainers, and wild-eyed adventurers from all points of the compass to share their stories around a common fire.

This year Burning Man organizers will create a caravansary that occupies the crossroads of a dreamland: a bazaar of the bizarre wherein treasures of every sort, from every land and age, flow in and out to be flaunted, lost, exploited and discovered.

Anyone may pose as merchant here, and anyone may play a customer, but nothing in this strange emporium shall have a purchase price no quid, no pro, no quo no trade at all will be allowed in this ambiguous arcade. According to a rule of desert hospitality, the only thing of value in this marketplace will be ones interaction with a fellow human being.

Deep Purple charge hard into 45th year Metal pioneers released 13th album Now What in 2013

WENDOVER

Formed in 1968 in Hert-ford, England, the heavy metal band Deep Purple are considered by many to be the pioneers of modern rock music and heavy metal.

Originally a progressive rock band, the boys in purple have altered their approach to music

over the years, but always delivered a stellar stage show that keeps the audience on their feet.

Deep Purple comes to the Wendo-ver Peppermill for an Aug. 16 show. Tickets are $40 to $110.

Deep Purple, together with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, have been referred to as the unholy trin-ity of British hard rock and heavy

metal in the early to mid-Sev-enties, and have sold over 100 million albums worldwide. Their most recent album Now What was released in 2013.

Two songs are dedicated to Deep Purple founding member Jon Lord, who died in July 2012 Uncommon Man and Above and Beyond, which includes the lyrics Souls having touched are forever entwined. Uncommon Man is partly inspired by the classical composition Fanfare for the Common Man, and features a synthesizer-generated fanfare theme composed by Don Airey.

Displaced from their native India, the Kadam fami-ly, led by Papa (Om Puri), settles in the quaint village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val in the south of France.

BEIJING (AP) A company that operates a scenic landscape area in southwest China which features in the latest Transformers movie says it will sue its producers for breach of contract.t

It is the second Chinese company to make public a dispute with Paramount Pictures over Transformers: Age of Extinction, which heavily courts the Chinese audience with Chi-nese locations, actors and products and is on track to become Chinas biggest-ever grossing movie.

The Chongqing Wulong Karst Tourism Co. Ltd. said in a statement sent to The Associated Press on Tuesday that the producers had failed

to show its logo prominently in the movie as promised. As a result, it is not clear to viewers that the shots of the scenic spot in the movie are of Wulong, because they are interspersed with scenes from Hong Kong, and other tourist spots are claiming the karst peaks are theirs, it added.

It said it would file a suit at a court in Chongqing city demanding unspecified dam-ages against Paramount Pictures and Bei-jing-based 1905 Internet Technology Com-pany, one of the movies Chinese partners. Wulong said it wanted measures taken to mitigate the damage and compensation for direct and indirect economic losses. F

Winemaker starry-eyed over Rhone Valley style

Our first meeting with Michel Chapoutier was in Washington, D.C. about 20 years ago when the brash, young winemaker was just breaking away from his fathers stodgy style of making wine. He probably wasnt 30 years old at the time, but he was full of self-confidence and enthusiasm for the Rhone Valley, where his family had been making wines for generations in the village of Tain lHer-mitage. He was impressive but no less so than his wines. We knew then he was someone to be taken seriously, despite his youth.

Unfortunately, he was right to defy his doubt-ful father, who had let the wines reputation fall into disrepair. The young Chapoutier not only brought new enthusiasm for the family wine, but he brought huge viticultural changes. He began biodynamic and organic farming techniques before they were popular, eliminated chemicals and fer-tilizers, stopped filtering his wines, and embraced natural yeasts. All of this was a gamble to everyone in the Rhone Valley except Michel. The results were profound -- and quick. Today, Chapoutiers wines rank among the best in the Rhone Valley.

Tony Terlato, chairman of Terlato Wines Inter-national, knows the story all too well. At the insis-tence of a friend, he went to meet with Chapoutier in 1989 when the winemaker was only 25 years old. Chapoutier had just returned to the family

winery to save it from bankruptcy. Terlato was impressed by Michels new releases just as his friend predicted and now imports several of his wines to the United States. Recently, Terlato and Chapoutier became partners in an Australian wine.

Weve been wowed by these Rhone Valley wines for years. The uniqueness of these wines and their quality are consistent.

In particular, two white wines made from grapes grown in southern France were absolutely stun-ning. Reasonably priced, these wines may not use traditional grapes familiar to you, but they deliver the Chapoutier quality for great prices.

We loved the 2013 La Ciboise ($14), named after the home of Michels grandfather who was very influential in his life. The grapes were grown in Luberon in the southeastern part of the Rhone Valley. It is a simple but intense blend of gren-ache blanc, ugni blanc, vermentino and roussanne grapes.

There also is a bright, fruity red blend for the same price that consists of grenache, syrah and mourvedre grapes.

The 2013 Marius Blanc ($14) is named after Michels great grandfather, whose image graces a dynamic label. Made from terret and vermentino grapes, this Vins de Pays dOc is very floral and lively with peach notes. Very refreshing on a sum-mer day, it makes for a great aperitif.

The Marius Rouge, a red blend of grenache and syrah, is surprisingly complex with intense red berry fruit and a long finish.

An Australian adventure In 1998, Chapoutier convinced Terlato to buy

property in Australia and two wines we recently tasted demonstrate their success there.

The 2011 Lieu dit Malakoff Shiraz ($50) from Central Victoria is a soft-textured wine with a medium body but intense, bright fruit and balance. It is aged in French oak barrels for 10-12 months.

The 2009 L Block Shiraz ($60) is likewise made entirely of shiraz grapes from the Pyrenees appel-lation. It has more
