Volume 44 Number 4

The report says capital investment needs for the nations wastewater and stormwater systems are estimated at $298 billion over the next 20 years. Pipes represent the largest capital need. Fixing pipes will address sanitary sewer overflows, combined sewer overflows, and other pipe-related issues. Since 2007, the

We are not working in a vacuum here. Our Commission (comprised of an elected city council member from Redwood City, Belmont, San Carlos, and an elected director from the West Bay Sanitary District) is being progressive and responsive to protecting public health, the environment, and our facilities. Every four years, the American Society of Civil Engineers releases a Report Card for Americas Infrastructure that depicts the condition and performance of the nations infrastructure in the familiar form of a school report card by assigning letter grades to each type of infrastructure. Wastewater got a D!

Fair enough. From the first meeting to the fifth meeting, we improved our public presentation on why the pipeline improvement project is essential. Our pipes are outdated and we have to fix them to avoid environmental disasters through leaks, which have been increasing over the years. Besides the leaks, the fact is that current pipe system was under designed to handle the systems capacity. It is now and will be even more so in the future because the system is running at higher flow and pressures than the pipe was designed to handle.

About 100 Redwood Shores residents attended one of our five public meetings between March 5 and March 12. While we focused on the early planning stages of four potential routes for replacing the pipeline that brings wastewater from near the San Carlos airport to the treatment facility in southeastern Redwood Shores, many visitors asked, Why do you need it at all?

Everybodys heard the saying You cant see the forest for the trees. What does that mean? Its an analogy used to express focusing too much on the details of a situation (the trees), and not seeing the big picture (the forest).

federal government has required cities to invest more than $15 billion in new pipes, plants, and equipment to eliminate combined sewer overflows. There are about 800,000 miles of public sewer mains in the United States. Many of these pipes were installed after World War II, meaning they are approaching the end of their useful life. (SVCWs were installed in 1969 and are outdated). Simply put, wastewater infrastructure at many of the 15,000 wastewater treatment facilities in the U.S. is aging, and these communities are facing the same difficulties and challenges as Redwood City.

One of Bergerons main responsibilities will be to operate and run the PAL Community Center at the Taft School Campus in Redwood City. Through that facility, PAL reaches out and collaborates with such diverse groups and local organizations including the Ballet Folklorico, Mexico Vivo, Casa De La Cultura, Verde Ambassadors, Zumba Dance, the Friendly Acres Neighborhood Association, the Junior Fire Academy, Redwood City School District, Redwood City Park, Recreation and Community Services, Stanford GOALS program and the Boys and Girls Club of America. PAL is an independent non-profit community-based organization providing intervention, prevention, and alternative programs to atrisk and economically challenged youth in Redwood City.

Starting as a Program Coordinator for the Peninsula Boys & Girls Club in San Mateo, Bergeron worked his way up to Program Director and then Director of Operations. The Executive Director position at PAL of Redwood City is a natural progression for Bergeron, who possesses such a broad spectrum of talent and ability.

Redwood City, CA. - Daniel P. Bergeron has been chosen to lead the Redwood City Police Activities League (PAL) into its next phase of programming and development.

Redwood City PAL Announces the Selection of a New Executive Director

The programs provided by PAL are designed to help youth assimilate honest values, skills and goals. PALs mission is to build partnerships between youth, police and the community through educational, cultural, recreational and outreach programs. The primary goal for all involved is to help youth reach their full potential. PAL, the Redwood City Police Department, the Redwood City School District and the City of Redwood City have formed a unique public and private partnership, which is critical in providing delinquency prevention programs. PAL receives its oversight from the PAL Board in collaboration with Redwood City Police Department leaders.

We are thrilled to have someone of Daniels experience and knowledge joining the PAL team, stated PAL Vice President Alpio Barbara. Spectrum Magazine Publisher Steve Penna serves as the organizations President. Executive Director Dan Bergeron received the unanimous backing of the PAL Board of Directors and Redwood City Police Chief JR Gamez who also sits on the Board.

We administer nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, to our patients for its calming effect.

Let us know if youd like to try nitrous oxide to feel more relaxed during your next dental appointment.

YOU CAN CONTROL THE EFFECTS We can adjust the dosage of the nitrous oxide gas to fit you needs. You can also control its effects by controlling your breathing. The more deeply you breath through your nose, the more youll feel its effects, and you can safely drive after the dental appointment.

WHAT TO EXPECT You breathe nitrous oxide through a small mask that covers your nose, Within just a few minutes, you will notice its effects. Most people experience a sense of relaxation, happiness, slight numbness, and a disconnection from whats happening around them.

But the unfolding drama of the post-Noah story keeps reinforcing what Russell Crowe said. Its a new beginning, a rescue, a resurrection, a new creation. One of Gods angels said it best at the climax of the Abraham and Sarah story, when the two of them were a barren couple pushing 100 with no hope of a baby and they are told that she would have a baby in her arms on her hundred birthday. She bursts out laughing, but the angel says, Is anything too hard for God? The Israelites are cornered by Pharoah and his armies at the Red Sea. This is the end of everything! Jesus friend Apparently not.

How many times have we thought, or even said, the exact same words that came out of Emma Watsons mouth? Your marriage blows up in front of your eyes. Your high school son falls into a bad crowd and becomes someone you no longer know. Unexpected lay-offs at work; you cant believe it includes you! You get the lab result you dread. This is the end of everything.

I havent seen the movie Noah yet, but I am impressed with the star-studded cast, and the fact that they try to make it real. In the trailer, Emma Watson (who plays Hermione in the Harry Potter movies) tells Russell Crowe (I mean Noah), This is the end of everything. I loved the quick come back from Noah: Its the beginning the beginning of everything.

Is Anything Too Hard For God?

Lazarus is four days dead in his tomb. His sisters tell Jesus, If you had been here my brother would not have died. Story isnt over yet. Is anything too hard for God?

We are face to face with hopeless endings every day. Barrenness, failure, aging, natural disasters, alienated love, oppressive powers, financial ruin, death but in Gods story there is always the promise of new life. Because, after all, is anything too hard for God? By Pastor Mary Graves - www.trinity-pres.org
In 1970, President Richard Nixon declared Arbor Day a federal holiday and it is observed the last Friday in April of each year. Make sure you plant a tree on that day, because Arbor Day is a celebration of trees and their importance to providing shelter, stabilization for the ground, and beauty to the beholder.

Plant a Tree on Arbor Day

Facts about Arbor Day - The first Arbor Day was celebrated April 10, 1872 in the State of Nebraska. More than 1 million trees were planted in Nebraska as they celebrated the first Arbor Day.

Ever notice the small pink label with a pencil that is on the packaging of products from companies like Ziploc, Hefty, Avery, General Mills, Green Giant, Hanes, etc.? Support our two RWS elementary schools (Sandpiper Elementary and Redwood Shores Elementary) by clipping off BoxTop (boxtops4education.com) from any product that you already buy! Box Tops for Education are a small, easy way to help PTAs provide things like classroom supplies and field trip fees. Redwood Shores residents can help by clipping your Box Tops labels (it only takes 5 seconds to clip and save them in a bag) and dropping them off in a collection box at the Postal Annex (274 Redwood Shores Parkway near Nob Hill Foods) whenever you are shopping nearby. You can also drop labels off at the school offices of Sandpiper Elementary or Redwood Shores Elementary. A big, special Thank You to Postal Annex for helping support our schools!

Daylight Time Savings has started, and youve already changed your clocks (yes forward)! Once again, our Fire Department is urging residents to use this opportunity to also check/change the batteries in your smoke / CO (carbon monoxide) alarm. Thats right, a CO alarm is now required in most households, by state law, and its a great idea. Fresh batteries allow smoke and CO alarms to do their jobs saving lives by alerting families of a fire or a buildup of deadly carbon monoxide in their homes. Nationwide, its estimated that two-thirds of fire deaths occur in homes where there are no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. That is why it is important to replace batteries at least once every year and to test your alarms every month to make sure they work. Residents should have smoke alarms on every level of their home, outside bedrooms and inside each bedroom. CO is called the invisible killer, because it is a colorless, odorless and poisonous gas. Because of this, people may not know they are being poisoned. Carbon monoxide is produced by the incomplete burning of fuel in various products, including furnaces, portable generators, fireplaces, cars and charcoal grills. That is why it is important to have working CO alarms in the home, on each level and outside each sleeping area. For more information on fire safety visit www.redwoodcity.org/fire

Cycling in Redwood Shores

Except for a brief period, Ann has been the sole crossing guard for Redwood Shores Elementary (RSE) since the school opened. Ann has been a crossing guard for 11 years, working at a number of schools in Redwood City (including Sandpiper) and Belmont prior to coming to RSE.

That smiling face that helps keep parents and children safe while crossing to and from Redwood Shores Elementary belongs to Ann Thomas. If youre driving, walking, or bicycling by, there isnt often a chance to stop and chat with Ann but I recently spent some time to get to know her a little better.

The eight-day festival of Passover is celebrated in the early spring, from the 15th through the 22nd of the Hebrew month of Nissan. It commemorates the emancipation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. And, by following the rituals of Passover, we have the ability to relive and experience the true freedom that our ancestors gained.

The holiday continues for 7 days until Monday, the 21st of April. In the USA, Passover ends one day later, so in 2014, Passover will end on Tuesday, the 22nd of April. Note that in the Jewish calander, a holiday begins on the sunset of the previous day, so observing Jews will celebrate Passover on the sunset of Monday, the 14th of April.

Passover, 2014 Tuesday, the 15th of April

I know she is appreciated when I see her showered with gifts and treats during holidays and at the end of the school year. Next time you see Ann, make sure to give her a smile, hello, wave, thank you or all the above! Submitted by Winslow Yee

Ann originally hails from Columbus, Georgia and worked for Pacific Bell as a clerk in the Engineering Department for 30 years until she retired in 1990. In 2003 she was tired of sitting around and answered a help wanted ad for crossing guards. When RSE opened she accepted the opportunity to come to the school which is closer to her home in San Mateo. Ann has a daughter and a grandson. In her spare time Ann loves to spend time with her friends, go to church, and visit the casinos.

Ann really enjoys working at RSE, I love the kids. They are so cute and polite to me. She particularly loves the exceptional friendliness of the community. The traffic flow during school mornings is more complex than average and we are fortunate to have such a dedicated person helping keep us safe.

BelmontRedwood Shores School District Update

Continued Enrollment Growth Projected in the Shores

On March 17, we received a projection for District enrollment from our contracted demographers at the Enrollment and Facilities Task Force meeting. Over the next five years, our elementary school enrollments in Redwood Shores are expected to continue to grow. Should this happen as projected, it will place additional pressure on our strained facilities capacity in Redwood Shores. Currently, our two Redwood Shores elementary schools have a combined capacity for six strands of classrooms (six kindergarten classes with 25 students each, six 1st grade classrooms, six 2nd grade classrooms, and so on). For the last two years and expected for 2014-15, we have compressed existing programs and found an extra classroom at one of the Shores elementary schools to allow for a seventh kindergarten classroom between the two schools. This has met kindergarten enrollment demand to date. However, this approach is a one-time solution, as the single classroom then has to become a 1st grade classroom the subsequent year to accommodate the additional students as they progress through the grades.

In the fall of 2013, the school board directed me to create an Enrollment and Facilities Task Force to examine enrollment trends with the help of professional demographers and to recommend long-term solutions. Although the District built Redwood Shores Elementary School in 2010 and added 28 classrooms in the districtwide improvements over the last two years, the demographers project that we will be exceeding our facility capacity again at Ralston Middle School and at the elementary schools in the Shores due to continued enrollment growth. The Enrollment and Facilities Task Force will be working actively on options to accommodate this growtheither through facilities expansion or school program changes.

The Enrollment and Facilities Task Force is comprised of four Belmont residents, four Redwood Shores residents, and four staff members. All Enrollment and Facilities Task Force materials and meetings are open to the public. The Task Forces April meetings are scheduled for April 2, April 17, and April 30 at 4pm at the District Office at 2960 Hallmark Drive in Belmont. The materials can be found on our website: http://www.brssd.org/facility_enrollment_taskforce. (I recommend just searching for BRSSD EFTF on Google.) I am confident that as a community we can address this challenge in a fair and thoughtful way that prioritizes the educational needs of our students. I will keep you informed as the Enrollment and Facilities Task Force progresses in its work. Thank You Oracle! Oracle has granted the District $60,000 to create a new elementary math coach position in the District for the 2014-15 school year. Given the growing importance of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math in todays world, we believe that a strong mathematics foundation in the elementary grades is essential for every students long-term academic success. The Districts School-Force foundation has expressed interest in supplementing this grant to provide for a full-time math coach position. We are grateful to both Oracle and School-Force for their support, which will help us improve in this critical area of the instructional program.

April Crew Racing In Redwood Shores

The Bridge Parkway bridge is another great place to watch the race. The bridge is at the 1000-meter mark so you can see the start of the race to the bridge or from the other side of the bridge you can see the last half of the race to the finish. If you choose the bridge you will

The lagoon is narrow for the first 1000 meters, so if you know someone who lives there, the boats race by their docks within 20 feet.

Another place to get close is under the bridge at Bridge Parkway. This is the 1000-meter mark and the boats are at full flight. Here you get a feeling for the synchronicity required to get maximum speed. You hear the Cox, (that little 100 lb squirt) driving the powerful rowers in her boat. It is her responsibility to carry out the coachs strategy and drive her crew to get maximum effort.

Blvd. Here you can get a feeling for what it takes to get the boats lined up for the start and then feel the power generated and precision required by the rowers on the starters Go. At the starting line, there is a rope stretched across the lagoon about 4 feet above the water. The rower in the third or fourth seat holds the rope to align the boat at the starters direction. When the boats are aligned, the starters commands are, release the rope, attention, GO. The boats seem to leap forward at that moment.

If you want to see the racing up close you can view the start at Shell

It is great to take a bike and spend time at all of these places. Bring your camera as there are great photo ops everywhere. Take advantage of an activity that makes Redwood Shores special. Pilot Staff

The finish line is approximately 60 meters from the end of the lagoon. The race finishes can be viewed from Twin Dolphin Drive or the Sofitel Hotel.

A great place to get the feeling for boat racing and what it takes to prepare is the Launch Dock and Boat Staging Area at Paragon Point. This is a beehive of activity with the participants rigging and unrigging their boats. The boats are being carried to the dock and placed onto the water by the crew.

Redwood Shores Tennis Clubs March Mania - Huge Success

Ready to sign up

We have lots of avid new members and our first tournament, on March 22 was sold out. We plan to hold free tennis clinics again at our May Open Play but they will be open to members only (non-members were allowed for Membership Mania.) If you are a tennis player and missed Membership Mania, you can find out more information on our website at www.rstc.org. We look forward to an amazing tennis season! Karen Brodersen, President, The Redwood Shores Tennis Club

The coffee and pastries were very popular as well while we waited for openings on the courts. RSTCs Renato Floresca (on right) was holding free 45 minute tennis clinics on one court, each focusing on a different tennis stroke (forehand, backhand, volley, and serve.) We used the second court for open play. We had to limit sets to only 4 games but I think everyone got a chance to play and get to know each other a bit. A few players left to play at Preserve and then came back.

The Redwood Shores Tennis Clubs Membership Mania was a huge success! We had a really big turnout of tennis players who came out to say hello and find out what we are all about. Luckily, we had lots of veteran club members hanging out by the Information Desk because at one point, we were ALL answering questions from new players at the same time. It was a little crazy but lots of fun!

Put together or purchase a pet first aid kit before you need one! You can never predict when you will need such a kit, so make it a priority to get a kit together today. By having a pet first aid kit and being alert to what is not normal for your companion animal you have taken steps to become a caring and conscientious pet owner. Jan Brown is the Owner of Jans Pet Sitting and is a PetTech Pet First Aid Instructor. She can be reached at janspetsit@comcast.net.

I am often asked what items should go in a pet first aid kit. Some general items would include bandages, tweezers, ointments, disinfectants, and a muzzle. Space does not allow me to list every item, however, if you would like me to email you a detailed list of suggested items for your pet first aid kit, please send an email to me and put Pet First Aid Kit in the subject line.

While its great if you already have a pet first aid kit at home, what about the times you take hikes or travel with Rover? I recommend you also have a smaller first aid kit in a waist pack that goes with you when you are hiking with Rover. For the times you travel with Rover, I highly recommend you have a second pet first aid kit in your car.

You can put together your own first aid kit or buy a kit that is ready made. I like to suggest you put your own kit together because you will remember what is in the kit. If you decide to purchase a readymade kit and there are good ones out there be sure you are not buying something that is just a bunch of bandages.

Each owner should have a pet first aid kit. I want to stress a pet first aid kit is not meant to take the place of a veterinarys care. However by having a pet first aid kit you will often be able to provide some basic care prior to transporting your pet to your vet if warranted.

Since April is Pet First Aid Awareness Month I thought I would talk about some steps you can take to be prepared should your companion animal ever need first aid.

Heres to healthy snacking with great taste Enjoy! Health & Nutrition Consultant, laurens128@yahoo.com

Health-conscious snacks with taste appeal can be tricky. We want something fast and easy to help get us through our busy days, but we also want something to look forward to something that tastes good. Enter chocolate, pre-packaged snack bars, chips, cookies, lattes, etc. Although candy, chips, cookies and lattes are clearly not health food, it strikes me how many snack products protein bars as a prime example are junk food dressed up with labels designed to make you think otherwise. Words like healthy, low fat, organic and natural come together with appealing images, leading you to believe youre about to consume something good for you. Look a little closer at any pre-packaged snack, and youll often find way too much sugar, processed carbohydrates, less-than-ideal fats and/or additives you wouldnt want to consume if you knew more about them. These foods are anything but healthy, and its likely that theyre draining your energy in the big picture rather than giving you a true lift. Here is a list of some of my favorite healthy snack options. Give them a try your body will thank you, without disappointing your tastebuds. Plain Greek yogurt with berries and chopped almonds or cashews. Youll have to put this together yourself because the flavored yogurts are way too high in sugar, but its still fast, easy and delicious! Almond butter on an apple or carrot sticks Artisana raw organic almond butter is my favorite for its wonderfully sweet taste with nothing added. Hummus comes in a wide variety of flavors and is always a good option try it on carrot sticks or gluten-free lentil crackers (e.g., Mediterranean Snacks). 20-25 of your favorite nuts I recently discovered Sallys Smart almonds in lemon and key lime jalapeo at Nob Hill. If you like a tart flavor to wake up your tastebuds, youll love these! Of course, plain raw, organic nuts are always a good option avoid nuts with added oils, sugars and/or salt. If you like nori, try SeaSnax roasted nori, which is loaded with healthy trace minerals chipotle and wasabi flavors explode with spiciness. Rather than a latte or mocha at 3 PM, try a home-made protein smoothie blend plain Greek yogurt or a clean (100% real food, low-to-no sugar) whey or plant-based protein with plain almond and/or coconut milk and berries of your choice. Add avocado or banana to make it creamy and/or a dash of natural sweetener if desired. Hard-boiled eggs cut in half and seasoned with sea salt and a dash of pepper and/or mustard simple, surprisingly tasty and very satiating. For a special treat when time is tight, if you must stash a bar in your bag, try KIND bars several flavors contain only about 5 grams of sugar.

When your clothes fit, flatter and express your personal style, people are drawn to you and want to know more about you. Make sure people are staring for the right reasons. By Adena DiTonno, Wardrobe & Image Consultant Adena DiTonno is a wardrobe and image consultant in Redwood Shores. Visit her website for useful tips and to sign up for her monthly Style Bulletin: www.adenadesigns.net

This quote by Harry Winston, the world renowned jeweler, is true, whether we like it or not. People will, and do, stare. The question is is it for the right reasons? While clothing doesnt make the entire man or woman, it does contribute to our overall impression. Sometimes its the primary contributing factor. Dont let what youre wearing be a stumbling block in communicating your message. Here are some ways that might happen: Bad fit. If your clothes are too big (pants or blouse too long or baggy) they obstruct the view of you. Contrary to popular thinking, too big is just as bad as too small; in fact, clothing that is too big just makes you look bigger. On the other hand, weve all seen examples of people wearing clothing that is too small just not flattering at all. Even clothes that are just a smidge too tight make you look uncomfortable, and people pick up on that. Age inappropriate dressing. People can make this mistake at any age. A woman moves into her 30s and is still dressing like a college student. A sixtyyear-old tries to capture a memory of her youth by wearing trendy clothes from the junior department. In both cases, the clothes arent appropriate for where these people are in life. As we enter new chapters of our lives, our wardrobes need to support our transitions. Expired style. This is closely related to the problem above. In this case it usually results from neglect the individual is lost in a decade and their clothing, hairstyle, etc. reflect that time. If your style is out of date (even if youre wearing expensive clothing from that time period), it sends a subliminal message that youre out of touch with yourself, and possibly business life and other relationships. Let go of the past and own the present.

People Will Stare. Make It Worth Their While.

ANNUAL APRIL PALM SPRINGS FLING!

(Or how a former Connecticut Yankee embraced California Cuisine) Lynn Kathleen Adams

From LYNNs KITCHEN

WINE APPRECIATION
By Tom Barras

Page 21

We start dreaming of deserts in January when we make our flight arrangements for our annual trek to Palm Springs each April. This rendezvous began many years back with the brilliant idea to escape the San Francisco rainy season and seek adventure and warmth in the high desert. The first year was a true silly road trip undertaken by two friends in a trusty1958 Volvo with the passenger door held closed by a shock cord, a water hose held together with an improvised inner tube/clamp repair, and included camping out along Route 5 in the San Joaquin Valley behind a gas station at what is now The Apricot Tree, eventually chugging over the Grapevine and finally arriving in Palm Springs. From that point forward it morphed into a woman-only spring ritual that included our Wilson College buddies, first cousins, a bankruptcy attorney, a ballet teacher and a construction risk specialist/insurance broker - yours truly! It has now endured through marriages, children, divorces, remarriage, grandchildren, and all the many challenges that life continues to bestow upon us that no one can quite remember just how many years we have been running away to the desert for a week of friendship, laughter, conversation, tears, and perfecting the art of doing nothing! Its akin to a continuous pajama and pool party all in one. Actually, we have taken some fabulous hikes in Joshua Tree National Park, Indian Canyons (Palm Canyon, Andreas Canyon, Murray Canyon), Mt. San Jacinto State Park & Wilderness Area (at the top of the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway) through still snowy forests, shopped until we dropped along North Palm Canyon or The Gardens on El Paseo in Palm Desert, and even enjoyed a tour of Sunnylands, the Annenbergs mid-century modern estate in Rancho Mirage. Usually, however, we enjoy just hanging around the pool and gardens in the historic hotel where we stay (Gloria Swansons former desert home) and planning our menu for the evening. We rarely dine out, as each dinner becomes a delight to plan, prepare and serve. (Of course, at the beginning of our trip, we race through the local Costco on a mad-cap shopping spree!) One of my very best girlfriends and I usually do the lions share of the cooking, and this dish is always requested and traditionally served when everyone is there for dinner on a particular evening. Chicken Cacciatore (with many thanks to Shadow for sharing her fabulous recipe!) FOR THE SAUCE: 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil 4 Stalks Celery, chopped 3 Onions, chopped 2 Teaspoons Marjoram 1 Teaspoon Thyme 1 Teaspoon Rosemary (diced) 2 Bay Leaves 2 Teaspoons Dried Porcini Powder (you can take several dried porcini mushrooms and grind them in a coffee grinder or Cuisinart if unable to find the dried spice powder) 8 Cloves Garlic, pressed 2 28 Ounce Cans Chopped Tomatoes with Juice Salt & Pepper to tastePut the olive oil in a large, heavy, ovenproof pot over a medium flame. Add celery, onions, herbs, porcini powder and garlic. Saut until vegetables are softened and lightly caramelized. Add the tomatoes and juice and bring up to a simmer. ADD THE FOLLOWING: 3Bell Peppers, cut in bite-sized chunks 1 Pound Mushrooms, cut in halves or quarters, depending on size 1 Can Black or Kalamata olives, pitted and drained Let the sauce come back up to a simmer, turn heat to low and cook for at least a half an hour to cook peppers and mushrooms and blend flavors. Salt and pepper to taste. FOR THE CHICKEN 12 16 chicken thighs (or a mix of breasts and thighs) Saut chicken pieces, skin side down, until brown. Turn pieces over and brown other side. Put chicken in large roasting pan, in one layer (skin side up), and pour some sauce over the top. Bake in 350 oven for an hour or until done. Serve with the rest of the sauce on the side with pasta of your choice. We prefer spaghetti with olive oil, parsley, and garlic. But it also goes well with rice. (This makes enough sauce for about 8 people, so you can cut the amounts or freeze the sauce for future use. Enjoy with your friends and/or family, a green salad and nice glass of your favorite wine! Lynn has been a RSCA Board Member since 1994.

Whites provide a wide range of choices. One is the buttery, tropical richness of the richly oaked California and Australian Chardonnays. At the other end of the tasting spectrum is the edgy, herbal, food-friendliness of the oak-free Sauvignon and Fum Blancs. Coming down a bit from the green aspects, youll enjoy the zesty pleasures of Pinot Grigio and Chenin Blanc or Austrias Grner Veltliner. If youre attracted to aromatics, then you can treat your olfactories to the delights of Gewrztraminer, Riesling, and Muscat. However, if youre a seasoned wine geek, the White Burgundy model is the quintessential Chardonnay for you; it delivers harmony, finesse and subtlety, all in the same glass.

It can be quaffed moments after the harvest (Nouveau Beaujolais), or in the case of European Grand Cru wines, it can be cellar-aged to be savored and discussed ten or more years after its bottling. But more likely, if its the standard, fruit-forward, varietally labeled wine, youre enjoying it within a year or two of its vintage date, much like the majority of wine drinkers.

It really is a cool drink. Its totally pleasure giving and one of mankinds neatest discoveries. It comes in red and white, and various salmon shades in between. It is enjoyed chilled or at room temperature, anytime of the year, and if its ordinary and inexpensive, it can be improved with a few ice cubes. When fizzy or sparkling, at which time the Queen of Whites appears, its the classic, celebratory beverage. When not sparkling, it assumes its traditional, food-friendly form, including the perfect sweet, after dinner beverage served with fresh fruit and cheeses.

The range of red wine options is just as extensive. However, the look, smell and taste of the reds in the last two decades has pretty much been dictated by the demand for approachable, now-drinking wines. As such, fruit forward, aromatic and low-tannin reds are pretty much the norm, no matter which varietal you prefer or from which country it originates. Your decisions will be dictated by the red and blackberry smoothness of Pinot Noirs and Merlots, versus the structure and size of the larger scaled, fuller bodied Syrahs, Cabernets, and Zinfandels. However, tannic, age-worthy Grand Crus from Bordeaux and Burgundy, and Reservas from Italy and Spain, and similar rich, full bodied New World Cult Cabernets and blends, are still available for those who prefer to age their wines.

Its a beverage that, quite frankly, has something for everyones palate and pocketbook and for every occasion throughout the year. The limited listing of the above wines shouldnt preclude you from exploring others. Peruse those shelves, get adventurous, and pick one. Its definitely worth the pursuit.
