Etched against the early morning sky, the spruce trees remained still, unruffled by the slightest wind and untroubled at the beginning of another day. Here, in the cool, soft shouldered mountains of Caldwell County is North Carolina's wine country, while perhaps this picture of a comforting rural past is not California's Amador County, great wines are made here, or so claim the locals. Gable Gardiner has been growing grapes here for years; so have his father and grandfather before him. At 72, he may not prune the vines as quickly as before, but a better eye for rot would be awfully hard to find. In an area plagued with an abundance of moisture, pruning is essential and no one does a better job than Gable, with the possible exception of his wife, Meta. Meta learned pruning back in the depression, just after the local wine wars, but that's another story. Most of the wines are made near Winnies' Mountain, a 650-acre flocked green mountain full of hillbilly legend and lore. Gable and Meta's vineyards lie on the lower reaches of the Mountain and as such are constantly exposed to frost. In the fall both Meta and Gable may be seen carting about smoke pots in their vineyards, just like the Florida citrus growers. Busily they keep their concord grapes warm from the worst assaults. Most of the wine produced in Caldwell County is locally consumed. Gable and Meta produce both a red and a white, the latter being something of a rarity in the area. Gable, chuckling, refers to the white as Concord Blanc with the first pressing marked as Blanc de Blanc. It's an affectation he obviously enjoys and a sparkle comes to his eye when he speaks of entering the family product in international competition. When asked if he plans new varieties in the future, he mentions the work he has done on perfecting the Carolina Mountain Concord Sauvignon. The wines produced from Winnie's Mountain are unique for their color and low sugar content. Brilliantly purple, one would expect a heavily sugared wine, yet most retain a well-balanced character, a fact attributed to the climate. The soils of Caldwell county are rich, yet contain a reasonable amount of calcium and other chalk-forming minerials. There are also plenty of rocks. "A necessity for making good wine," says Meta Gardiner. "Nothing great ever came easily" would seem to be her philosophy and she proves that by fussing intently over their 35 acres of grapes. Each fall the whole county turns out to harvest the grapes; working each vineyard in turn, starting at the top of the mountain. - HOLIDAY VILLAGE MALL, PARK CITY, UT - 649-6541 MOO FAMILY NIGHT WEDNESDAY N ALL SEATS ONLY ONE DOLLAR ml illli SALLY Nominated Held over 2nd week Daily 5:15, 8:00 Sat Sun 2:15, 5:15,8:00 8 Academy RAGTIME twA v2 unnw vfK 3"ooi:i5 ft S V T M I 7:15.9:10 'h5 tl 3$ ENPS THUR: MODERN Qg6 mmmmmmm. I.nnmnn School is recessed and the atmosphere is remarkably similar to that experienced during maple sugaring time in the spring. Children, babies, oldsters and the like, carefully pick the grapes. While an undetermined percentage seem to disappear between the vine and bin, no one really seems to care; profit is not a motive here in this mistv mountain community. "Well, I make a living at it," says Gable, "but I sure as hell ain't retired." Noting his 72 years of age, he says, "I reckon I'll still be doing this at 82. When I was a young man. my father told me that a good farmer would never starve. Course, he never figured I might wind up stone drunk from the fruits of my labor." That's another side to Gable: he loves to pun. The folks of Caldwell County do make good wine. They exercise a great deal of care and attention and, although wild yeasts are used, most of the process is well controlled. "We're looking to produce good wines here," says Kyle Rumpton, another grower on the mountain. "Hopefully it's better than Ripple or Qld Thunder," he says, smiling ruefully. Generally cask time it kept at a minimum for these wines, although recently some growers have experimented with golden oak casks brough in from Arkansas. While the results have been interesting, they have generally not led to more classic wines. Each year the growers get together and discuss the concept of actually marketing their wines across the country, or at least, into the southeast. Generally, the idea is tabled as too much work. "We're not lazy," says Kyle Rumpton, who probably works 17 hours a day. "It's simply a matter of economics and fun. We'd have to advertise and be aggressive about it. Right now it's a lot of fun and we enjoy making our living this way. What more could a man ask for?" So if you want to try Winnie Mountain Wine (one winery actually holds that name), or the product of Gable's efforts, you'll have to travel to the Blue Ridge Mountains and sample that special hill country hospitality. Out there with the swans and early morning mist some very special and well-cared-for concord grapes are giving their all for Meta, Gable, Kyle and the others. If you drop in on Caldwell County in the fall they might even let you pick the grapes and take a bottle or two of the finished product home. Perhaps you'll store it in your cellar and have a famous wine in ten years. Some day, who knows, they might just have the gumption to market that Concord Sauvignon Blanc de Blanc all across the country. But we doubt it will last that long; you'll probably find yourself drinking it barely beyond the county line, just as they did many years ago.

Leslie ADDling the colors I use." she said. ADDlir At first, Leslie Appling thought she was just drawing close-ups of flowers. Then she realized what interested her was playing with composition compo-sition and pattern. As a result, her works look closely at, not just nature, but the shape and colors of nature. An exhibit of Appling's works is currently hosted by the Kimball Art Center through March 2. The artist said the display represents about the last year of three years of painting. One motif she's working with, she said, is a large plane of color with a sharp focal point (a water lilly or a shadow) intruding. "I have become more arbitrary in the colors I use," she said. She keeps a running tally of ideas in a sketchbook. "I go through it, find something that interests me, and run with it," she said. After an initial sketch in pencil, the painting begins for her with the background. "That sets the mood and tone," she said. Appling also said she likes to use humor in her work. One example from the current cur-rent exhibit is "Fish Eyes". The center is an amorphous desert island-like shape, surrounded sur-rounded by a querying platoon of what else? fish eyes!

Cabaret: 'A smashing success' by Corke Pepper As most of our town must have heard by now, the Park City Cabaret held last Friday and Saturday nights at the Kimball Art Center was a smashing success. It was the first time that a production of this magnitude had been held at the center. The fact that we served over 450 persons without kitchen facilities is a minor miracle. Our very special thanks goes to Deanna and Ed Carpenter, John and Catherine Carpenter and Dave and Carolyn Southerlin for accomplishing this feat. Ed and Deanna were cleaning up in the mornings following each performance. They were good natured and thoughtful through all the chaos. I want to add my personal gratitude to that of KAC. Helping the Carpenters and the Southerlins was a volunteer food committee consisting of Cyndi Sharp, Diane Doilney, Judy Taylor, Jo Ann Krajeski, Susan Dudley, Julie Manwar-ing, Manwar-ing, Francine Valline, Cathy Morris, Chris Eberlein, Monique Cate, Marci Davidson, Raye Ringholz, Ve Dawson, Debbie Reid, Cindy Huseth, Georgia Shane, Dolly Evarts, Tim Vaughn, Mary Beth Kalkbrenner, Daryl Garnas, Connie Marolt, Terry Nash, Helen and Raymond Goodman and Barbara Dorius. Thank you. The praise was almost overwhelming trom tne diners. We also wish to thank the bartenders and servers who made both evenings go so smoothly. Bartenders were Bill Ligety, Richard Dudley, Dave Myers, Merle Huseth, David Krajeski, Mike Eberlein, Bill Marolt, Trent Lowe, and Harry Reed. The servers from the Carl Winters Middle School and Park City High School were1' Veronica Bros, Heather Ford, vAdriehne;' Miller, Pam Roberts, JoLynn Sessions, Lis Simmons, Jessica Winters, Katrina Alsop, Layle Arenskov, Tammy Bennery, Saman-tha Saman-tha Brown, Katherine Falls, Kara Glieden, Stephanie Holcomb, Christine Shipp and Melanie Turner. With young people like those growing up in Park City, our community can look forward to a brilliant future. They handled their responsibilities with dignity and competence. We hope that they will be here often to participate in Kimball Art Center projects. Raye Ringholz and Emily Lowe also deserve thanks. On Friday night Raye acted as a greeter and usher and on Saturday night Emily took over. It was an enormous job with some 200 people appearing at once to be seated. It is to their credits that all went smoothly. The plasticware upon which we ate, the paper napkins and placemats and the cups were donated by Larry and Peggy Black. Merle and Cindy Huseth presented us with a refrigerator and Phil Jones gave us a stove. We are most grateful for those contributions. As for the Cabaret production, our plaudits are countless. Wanda Belli, our producer from Coranado, heads the list. Wanda contributed two weeks of her life to come up here and put on our show. Susan Jarman worked for a month on casting and choreography to ease the way for Wanda. Dave Novelle, the show's announcer and the auctioneer who raised so much money for the Center at the end of the show, earned our gratitude for contributing his time. Madame Goodshot lent us costumes for the 1882 characters in the show and we thank her. Without competent dressers in the wings, some of the quick changes would have been impossible. Tjte Ruzicka, Julie Manwaring PARK The Bitter Creek Band (Cowboy Rock! 9:00 p.m. thru Saturday Next week: Headfirst Unquestionably the finest western fare and entertainment in Park City. 268 Main St. 649-4146 There is no place like the Cowboy Appling uses it acrylic, watercolor, pastel. "I can eet feelings and effects that I don't have with just one medium." One of the works on exhibit is a silkscreen, about which she said, "I missed the brush, the spontaneity of painting. But I am sure it is something I will do again." Appling graduated from the University of Utah Art Department in 1976 with a BFA. She first began exhibiting exhibit-ing locally in 1979, and said she has been able to make a living at her art. "I've been under some temporary economic eco-nomic duress, but I'm not too rattled." she said. and Francine Valline accomplished that task. Without a cast, a show can't go on. Through this event we learned that Park City is blessed with extraordinary talent. Some of us are still laughing over the wicked gambler skit with Tom Calder, Bob Toy and Roly Pearson. When Wanda begins a show, she asks each cast member she works with what specialty they have. That is why the show opened with a sultry redhead slowly descending into a split. Ruth Ann Fitzgerald's Fitzger-ald's specialty is splits. And who will forget Leslie Luyken and Roger Fuller doing their strip number? We could fill the whole paper with praise for each character. Kim Hunter, Diana Bedellion, Mary Jane Bird, Mandy Bobo, Bridget Buckley, Karen Clark, Cate Cohen, Joni Coles, Cindy Craig, Jackie Craigle, Jan Gillan, Curt Graff, Emory George, Liz Hurley, Terry Nash, Sheila Purdom, Sydney Reed, Christie Scott, Rockee Simanaitis, Madeline Smith, Barbara Stiles, Dennis Feldman, and Curtis Willey in addition to those mentioned above gave enormous amounts of their free time to attend rehearsals and make this show such a smashing success. Park City merchants also participated in the success of this event, lending their fashions for modeling and donating items for the auction. Those we thank are The Cowboy and The Lady, The Elizabeth Shoppe, Timberhaus, Park Avenue Clothing, The Hat Store, Park City Leather Works. Wolfe's, Tina Lewis, Stein Ericksenj,-.

Well, you can have a producer, a choreographer, a cast and costumes, but if you want an audience, you have to have publicity. Can weaver find the words to thank The Newspaper, the Park Record, Focus, the Salt Lake Tribune, Deseret News, and Park City's KPCW for the wealth of public service mentions and inch upon inch of column space they contributed to make this production work? Another talented artist in our midst was Ron Burnett. Like Susan Jarman, he has become a sort of quasi-staff person around KAC. Ron worked with staff member Sean Toomey on staging, lights, " sound and anything else he was asked to do. We also want to thank Lynn Vincent and Vaughn Georgio for contributing to that department. Behind the scenes, countless hours of extra work were required by the KAC staff to put this show on the road. Carol Calder and her assistant Peggy Black deserve very special mention. They organized food committees, acted as liaison with the shops, put together costumes, and organized the mechanics of the whole thing. Carol joins me in expressing her personal gratitude to all of you in making this, our first fund-raiser of 1982 possible. And then, last but primary in importance, was you, the audience. Any entertainer will tell you that a show is only as good as its audience. Thank you all who attended for sharing the fun we had in putting on the show. A video tape was made of Saturday night's performance. Any of the cast who would like to have a reunion and watch the rerun, please contact Roger Fuller and we'll set up a date. CITY |
