MM The Kimball Art Center is now taking reservations for its annual Kimball Art Guild Auction to be held July 30 at 6 p.m. To date, over 100 items have been received for the auction. All of the art work to be included in the auction will be on display in the center's cen-ter's main gallery from Sunday, Sun-day, July 25. This year's auction will also include a number of non, art items. According to Carol Calder, the center's director of development, 45 such items have already been donated. Non art items include such things as a hot air balloon ride, a Gold Pass to Deer Valley, a season pass to Park City Ski Area, a pair of cowboy boots valued at $600 from John Crandall's Hat Store, a Main Street shopping extravaganza at the Marguerite Shop, Great Garb, The Cowboy and the Lady, and Park Avenue Clothing, a Chinese dinner cooked by Mac and Ann MacQuoid, and a bakers' dozen of cooking lessons from Rocky Mountain Kitchen Kit-chen Gifts.

Mopttes fraDmm EA(D Local artists get well-deserved recognition by Corke Pepper As we juried the Park City Artists' show scheduled to open in the Kimball Art Center Aug. 1, 1 kept thinking what a thrill it must be for Diane Balaban, Holly Rom, Linda Myers and Cathy Cartier to see what their energies have wrought. For they are the four artists who only last October gathered the Park City artists into a cohesive organization. I must admit that I had anticipated this show with trepidation. Their group show last year struck me as spotty. Some work was of professional calibre, but not enough of it had progressed far enough to meet the demands of a Kimball Art Center gallery show. What are those demands? We expect our shows to exhibit more than good painting technique or pleasant compositions and subject matter. Many fine painters do not qualify for a gallery show. What we really want to see is something that comes from the gut of the artist. Something that is the artist's alone an emotion, or an intellectual statement with enough impact to grab the viewer and make the artist's experience his own. A single painting can produce a multitude of responses, depending upon the sensitivity and experience of a viewer. The more room an artist leaves for a viewer to move into his canvas, the more excited we are about his work. It would be difficult to find a stronger example of what I am expressing than Marilyn Stillman's dramatic black and white abstract of a sheet on a clothesline, or Diane Balaban's sensitive Indian studies, or Sally Rosenblatt's joyous watercolors. Created with wit and style, Bill Cranstover's collages and Kim Whitesides' airbrush renderings are other highlights of the show. A group exhibit such as this, however, covers a lot of territory. It is not concerned with paintings alone. The Park City Artists include some of the nation's top craftsmen. Among them is David Fernandez, one of seven Utah ceramists selected to show in the Smithsonian Institute show. David's original lamps will enhance a display of decorative items such as a handcrafted chest of drawers and Linda Myers' intricate weavings reflecting the texture and color of Utah's deserts. Included also will be Cathy Cartier's feminine satin and lace "patchwork" bedcover, elegant enough for a queen, and Holly Rom's decorative batiks that carry her craft into the realm of art. The enthusiasm of this group, its willingness to take responsibility and its members' demands upon one another to achieve quality has impressed me beyond measure. It is the dream of us all that Park City become recognized as not only a great resort, but as an acclaimed art colony. This exhibit is a marvelous revelation to me. The dream is destined for maturity. In 10 months, the Park City Artists' Association has grown to include 52 working artists. It would require pages to comment on each of their works represented in the show, but it is an exhibit that we consider a credit to the Kimball Art Center and to the community. i by Rick Lanman Take a senior citizen out to dinner Few of us have been lucky enough to sample really old California wines. Although we frequently read about such tastings in the pages of Gourmet or Wine Spectrum, the concept of aging remains an elusive one; until you have consumed old wines you lack any standards. Overtime the aging issue has become the center of great debate. Addicts of European wines proclaim that the big-bodied Cabernet Sauvignons of California cannot rival the great French Chateau wines. Proponents of California wines answer that age must be considered when a comparison is demanded and that several decades must pass before comparable California wines are available. Yet excellent wines were produced in California between 1900 and 1950. Indeed, these are the wines one reads about at black tie tastings. Few of us are invited to such affairs, unless personal friends or relatives happen to own these treasured bottles of wine. I have been fortunate enough to sample many Bordeaux wines of the early sixties and from my father's cellar we may eventually drink a Robert Mondavi Cabernet bottled in the sixties. Still, these are young wines when compared to those bottled in the thirties and forties. For many years, the El Gavilan Winery near Santa Rosa produced excellent wines, including the Cabernet Sauvignon. The El Gavilan wines were a favorite of many area growers, including the late August Sebasti-ani. Sebasti-ani. A notable year for Cabernet Sauvignon was 1941; the wine sold quickly once released. El Gavilan was a premium winery that carefully aged all its wines in redwood instead of oak. Normally the winery aged its product three to four years but the 1941 vintage sat in redwood for six years and was finally bottled in 1947, just after the war. Questions exist about that six-year interval. Some have suggested that the war intervened and the manpower was simply not available to bottle the wine. Evidence suggests otherwise. Redwood tends to mellow wine and bring out the fruitiness, if not overdone. The 1941 Cabernet was a big wine with much tannin and by all accounts the extra time spent in the redwood was necessary. El Gavilan did not use oak at all, a fact that speaks well for redwood at a time when increasingly it has come under fire. Whether the wine was intended to lay on wood for six years will remain a mystery, as the winery was closed on May 31, 1952. August Sebastiani bought a great deal of the rare wine and, as still the custom with many European wines, he bought it in the barrel. Although at the time the Sebastiani family had no label or bottling equipment, they bottled the wine by hand and had a special label commissioned. The label carries a picture of the August Sebastiani home, a home that was finished the same year the label was designed. One could imagine that Sebastiani bought the wine to commemorate the building of the house. Called Casa de Sonoma, the wine was put in 4 5 quart Bordeaux bottles with the punt (indented) bottom and stored. Some of the wine was offered for sale in 1950, but the majority was stashed away in the family's private cellar. There it sat until this past May when Sam Sebastiani decided to make small quantities available to the public. The wine was recorked at that time following a quality inspection that including candling for color. Essentially the wine is backlit to check for proper color hue and clarity. Each bottle was also evaluated for aroma and bouquet prior to receiving its final new foil cap. Except for that cap and new cork, the wine is presented in its original package. While the wine originally sold for $1.00 a bottle in 1950, the 1982 release will go at a suggested retail of $100.00 per bottle. They will ship six bottles to a wooden box, each wrapped in tissue. They are available to anyone willing to pay the price. Although such a price may seem outlandish to you and 1, 20-year-old bottles of French Burgundy commonly sell for that amount.The Sebastiani family hopes that groups interested in tasting an old California wine will buy one bottle for their tasting. Sam Sebastiani notes that if ten people each chip in $10, a bottle could be had that will highlight any tasting. Reports on the wine show it to be quite fruity despite the advanced age and color is noted as bright red. As with most old wines it displays medium body and a velvety taste in the mouth. The acid content is well balanced and surprisingly there remains a fair amount of tannin in the wine. The winery still has some in storage, although about two hundred cases are being released at this time. Undoubtedly it is one of the largest releases of a rare, California wine |
