County Mayo Cottage Rental Photos and Description
Unique 4.5-bed/3-bath hideaway
Waterfall Cottage is a completely unique vacation rental property at the heart of the spectacular Delphi Valley in south west Mayo, Ireland - and directly on the beautiful Wild Atlantic Way.
This extraordinarily scenic area is on the northern fringe of the beautiful Connemara region and just over the border from county Galway. Killary Fjord is less than two miles away and the nearest village is the pretty seaside hamlet of Leenane, Co Galway.
Surrounded by one of Ireland's largest Special Areas for Conservation and in a National Heritage Area, the four-bedroom holiday home overlooks a pristine river in a stunning wilderness setting.
A dream holiday cottage that was formerly part of the famous Delphi estate, this deceptively large rental property is a reconstruction and extension of two 19th century cottages, merged into one home of great character.
There are no other buildings in sight.
Clad in local stone, roofed with traditional Welsh slates and fully insulated to modern standards, Waterfall Cottage has all the charm of a period property with all the benefits of modern reconstruction.
The cottage sleeps eight people in great comfort and an extra two bunk beds can be added on request.
There are four principal bedrooms (three with one large bed and one with twin single beds), plus an optional extra bunk room. There are three bathrooms, one en-suite with the master bedroom.
There's a modern kitchen and a large day room equipped with satellite TV, wi-fi, an eclectic library and a DVD player. The piece de resistance is the spectacular 440 sq. ft. lower level River Room with its terrace right beside the river, offering amazing views over the water to the wild scenery beyond.
The cottage has oil-fired underfloor heating and a large wood-burning stove.
- Suitability:
- children welcome
- pets considered
- wheelchair inaccessible
About Peter Mantle
Former financial journalist who fell in love with this part of Ireland and bought the derelict Delphi Lodge and 1,000 acre estate in 1986. With the lodge and many cottages now fully restored, and with Delphi Lodge recognised as Ireland's most famous fishing lodge, Mantle now owns and runs a fishing lodge in the Bahamas (called the Delphi Club) but he has kept Waterfall Cottage for family use and for others to enjoy this exceptional Irish valley.
Why Peter Mantle chose County Mayo
Extraordinarily beautiful wilderness location.
What makes this cottage unique
No other building in sight. Right beside pristine salmon river. Spectacular lower floor river room. One of the last unspoilt parts of Europe. Fly-fisher's paradise.

I think the error is wrong- Errors When it turns dark in the lift, Professor Oak's eyebrows turn gray. The error.Since it happened in the dark its obvisously related to the fact that its dark and his eyebrow has changed colour due to that reason--Solid! 08:01, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
- I don't think that's the case. When the power goes out, Oak's eyebrows are black at first. The scene cuts away to Ritchie, Ash, and Pikachu talking about jump-starting the elevator. Then when the scene goes back to Oak, his eyebrows are gray, so it was an obvious error. Breeziwolf 07:39, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Here is my usual Weekly Round-Up of News, with stories that I have picked up over the past week. If you have suggestions for stories I missed, just drop me a line or post a comment.
The Foundry and Escape Studios UK Tour
The UK has a flourishing VFX industry that is attracting business from all over the world. In terms of film production in this country, we're securing huge business. The standard of work being produced here is world class, and it's impressive to see how this industry is flourishing right across the United Kingdom. For those of us who work in London, sometimes we risk embracing the city as being the centre of the universe, paying far too much attention to what's going on locally, rather than what's happening countrywide. Granted Soho is a hub for post-production, but if we were to look beyond the M25 and further North, East or West, we would find an amazing number of talented companies working on some fantastic projects.
Amazing Idents for BT Vision By ManvsMachine & Proud Creative
BT Vision (a TV-on-demand service from British Telecom) has just been through a re-branding excersise which was carried out by ManvsMachine in collaboration with Proud Creative. ManvsMachine were tasked with creating the idents, while Proud Creative worked on the graphic design elements of the newly created identity.
Framestore Integrate IKinema
IKinema are a relatively young company based in the UK with a very special product that is improving the workflow among VFX departments. For anyone lucky enough to have worked with this programme they will know that the IKinema technology is a powerful plug-in and a real asset to any project working with motion capture and animation. It's an incredible tool with advanced solver settings and a flexible constraint system. It's no wonder Framestore, one of the top VFX companies in Europe, are taking full advantage of this tool by integrating it into their motion capture pipeline.
CG Whiz 2011 is Now Open!
We're delighted to announce that CG Whiz 2011 is now open! We're accepting entries from today for the competition, with the winner receiving a 12 week classroom course at Escape Studios and a 12 week placement with The Mill in either its London or LA offices. This is a once in a life time opportunity that could kick start the career of one talented young artist. If you don't believe us, see what past winners Stu Schwartz and Adam Droy say about what winning has meant for them.
Mimicking Tilt-Shift in AfterEffects
My cousin - David Itzcovitz - went to Israel last month and he took a series of photos, which he then processed to give this strange look. The process he mimicked in After Effects is called tilt-shift and is usually achieved by using a tilt-shift lens (lensbaby). This puts the focal plane at a strange angle to the film and as a result, you get this strange depth of field effect which makes big things seem like miniatures.
News Round-Up: Monday 10th Oct 2011
Here is my usual Weekly Round-Up of News, with stories that I have picked up over the past week. If you have suggestions for stories I missed, just drop me a line or post a comment.
CVMP - Last Call for Short Papers
It seems there is an abundance of technology conferences to choose from this year. For fellow technology enthusiasts out there, this is an exciting time, as we are treated to an ocean of updates, new releases and ground breaking developments. One conference we give a particular seal of approval to is the much anticipated CVMP (Conference for Visual Media Production), now in its 8th year running. This is a conference dedicated to the geeks of the visual media production industries, whether that is in film, broadcast or games.

CG Whiz is Coming!
Those of you who follow us on Twitter will probably have noticed that we are soon to launch the third edition of our now famous CG Whiz competition. So, since the 'cat's out of the bag' already, I thought I might just get away with giving you a bit of an insight in what we have been cooking up for this year's edition of CG Whiz.

The Foundry Announce New Product
Though a very powerful compositing tool NUKE has been missing a component many artist could benefit from. HIERO is a new product in development at The Foundry that hopes to provide the missing link for a more efficient shot management system in your VFX pipeline.
Compositing Escapee Carlos Conceicao Gets Internship at The Foundry
I'm really pleased to bring you a first look at one of our student's work from our new Compositing Professional 18-week course. Carlos finished the course in August and after taking a well earned short break he has already secured an internship working as a Paint Artist on MARI at The Foundry.
Jellyfish Pictures & The Making of Planet Dinosaur
Since the introduction of HD to our television screens, we're starting to see a huge push from a number of channels to deliver a broader range of quality viewing in HD, and the BBC are no exception. Their latest project Planet Dinosaur aired on BBC ONE from September 14th and is an exceptionally ambitious six part series, exhibiting the findings from dinosaur research over the past decade. Each episode is entirely computer generated, and it was one lone company based in London that produced this work completly in house. The company I'm referring to is Jellyfish Pictures, and we at Escape Studios were involved with kitting them out in preparation for this difficult project. Jellyfish now have a completely up to date system, and are in a great position to offer future clients the very latest software and hardware, putting them ahead of the rest for a couple of years.
Autodesk Incremental Suite Webinar Recording Now Available
On September 7th, 2011 we held a webinar for Autodesk's 2012 version of the Entertainment Creative Suites. As ever, registrations for this Autodesk webinar were plentiful, and we're delighted so many of you were able to join us on the day.
News Round-Up: Monday 26th Sep 2011
Here is my usual Weekly Round-Up of news with the stories that I have picked up over the past week. If you have suggestions for stories I missed, just drop me a line or post a comment.
One to Watch: Naiad Fluid Sim
There was a great article on FX Guide on Fluid Simulation recently. It's a computational issue that has been around for quite some time now and clearly it's something that the makers of big packages like Maya and Houdini cannot focus 100% of R&D time on.
The Foundry Award Escape Studios a Commendation at IBC 2011
Tim Flett, Escape Studios Business Development manager, was at the IBC Show last week, where he received a commendation award from The Foundry. He was delighted to collect the award in Amsterdam and said:
Autodesk 3ds Max Design Competition
Autodesk have an awesome competition running at the moment, with great prizes for the winning and runner-up entries. They are calling out for submissions of a scene or design created on either 3ds Max 2012 or 3ds Max Design 2012. The winning entry will be featured on the 3ds Max Design 2012 box cover and splash screen. Entries will not be judged on production quality, but rather on imagination, innovation and an ingenious use of the Max logo. They are looking for inventive concepts or renderings of architectural designs as well as mechanical or industrial production design. So be adventurous.
News Round-Up: Monday 19th Sep 2011

Hi friends! Tessa here! I am writing two new stories, so I won't be focusing on some of my older ones as much. If there is something you want me to write specifically, don't be afraid to ask. I figure one story will be called "Awake at Dawn" which will be about a necromancer, and maybe "Playing with Fire" which will be about a part-dragon or a girl with some sort of fire magic. Not sure. Anyway, comment if you want something. Thanks! And stuff!

About Tchaikovsky
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky often anglicised as Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, was a Russian composer whose works included symphonies, concertos, operas, ballets, chamber music, and a choral setting of the Russian Orthodox Divine Liturgy. Some of these are among the most popular theatrical music in the classical repertoire. He was the first Russian composer whose music made a lasting impression internationally, which he bolstered with appearances as a guest conductor later in his career in Europe and the United States. One of these appearances was at the inaugural concert of Carnegie Hall in New York City in 1891. Tchaikovsky was honored in 1884 by Emperor Alexander III, and awarded a lifetime pension in the late 1880s.

Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky was born in 1840 in present-day Udmurtia, Russia. His father was a Ukrainian mining engineer. Peter began piano lessons at the age of five, and within three years he could read music as well as his teacher. Read more…
Modest Mussorgsky was born on March 9, 1839, in Karevo, a village near St. Petersburg, Russia. At six years old Modest began piano lessons with his mother, who encouraged his early efforts at composition. At the age of ten, Modest and his brother were taken to St. Petersburg to study piano at the elite Peterschule. Three years later Modest entered the Cadet School of the Guards. Music remained important to him, and at his father's expense he published his first piece, Porte Enseigne Polka for the piano. Read more…
Free Sheet Music | One-Hit Wonders of Classical Music
August 3, 2014
Rock n' Roll has delivered to us a long list of one hit wonders, but how about the those classical music composers? Who are they, and what have they done to contribute to the world of music.
Johannes Pachelbel | Canon in D
Our first composer in our hit parade in Johannes Pachelbel (1653-1706). This German Baroque period composer only gave us one great hit, but what a hit it is. Canon in D was originally scored for three violins and basso continuo, and was paired with a gigue. It was forgotten for centuries, and then reemerged in the 20th century. It surged in popularity when it appeared in the feature film Ordinary People, and has become a favorite at weddings.
Johannes Pachelbel's score has since been published in many different arrangements. Here are a few of the arrangements available on the internet:

Canon in D for Easy Piano Solo by Johann Pachelbel
Canon in D for Advanced Piano Solo by Johann Pachelbel
Canon in D for Intermediate Flute Solo by Johann Pachelbel
Albert Ellmenreich | Spinning Song
Our next composer in our hit parade is Albert Ellmenreich (1816-1905). Albert Ellmenreich was a German born actor, director and writer. He spent more than 50 years on the stage, though did find a moment to draft a song that enjoys tremendous popularity with junior high students.
Spinning Song was originally written for piano, and is available as a free printable piano score for easy and intermediate piano.

Jean-Joseph Mouret | Rondeau
Our last one hit wonder is Jean-Joseph Mouret (1682-1738). This French born composer struck gold when his Rondeau from "Symphonies and Fanfares for the King's Supper" became the theme music for pubic television's Masterpiece Theater in 1971. He missed seeing the incredible success of his work by 233 years, but many of us are grateful for his contribution. This work, like Canon in D, has become a favorite at weddings.
Rondeau is available for several different instruments including piano, clarinet, trumpet, violin and harp.

Aladdin Capital expands sales and trading division
Aladdin Capital Management has expanded its sales and trading division with the appointment of Mark Atmore, who brings more than 19 years experience from Bear Stearns and Nomura.
The sales and trading division is led by Michael Gibbons who joined Aladdin in March 2009. Brian Robertson heads European trading and syndicate. The sales and trading division currently comprises ten professionals with over 150 years of cumulative experience and an additional pipeline of hires is pending.
Gibbons says: 'Our sales and trading division originates and distributes across all asset classes, focusing on complex high margin credit solutions for clients. We will particularly concentrate on areas of stress, including asset-backed securities and distressed financials, driven by the firm's deep credit expertise. As we strive to deliver high value research-driven solutions for clients, these senior hires will be critical additions to our team. Their wealth of knowledge and experience will undoubtedly be a valuable addition to Aladdin.'
Neal Neilinger, vice-chairman and chief investment officer of Aladdin (pictured), adds: 'Aladdin is uniquely placed to capitalize on current market opportunities given our independence, ten years of asset management experience behind us and today, more than USD12.4bn under management. Our sales and trading division will further leverage Aladdin's historical presence in credit markets and help to develop synergies with our client solutions and investment banking colleagues internationally as the markets present more opportunities for the agile and opportunistic managers.'

A week ago, on May 14th, the Sons of Bacchus (SOBs) and a Daughter of Dionysus assembled at the Seven Hills Winery for a blind tasting of Grand Cru Chablis - all Grand Cru, no Premier Cru. These come from the slope overlooking the town on Chablis with a southwest exposure and the heaviest concentration of calcium in the soil, which gives Chardonnay a distinctive minerally taste. The top wines in each fligh, with my scores, were:
2011 Christian Moreau Chablis Grand Cru, Valmur - This was my favorite, as well as the group's. It possessed an intriguing saline and floral nose and a classic, crisp texture, turning steely and dry on the lemon zest finish. 19+/20 points.
2009 Vincent Dauvissat Chablis Grand Cru, Le Clos - I ranked this second close second. It shoed a medium greenish gold color and classic aromas of green apple and gunflint. The palate showed much minerality and biting acidity. 19+/20 points.
2004 William Fevre Chablis Grand Cru, Le Clos - Again, I ranked this second. It showed a classic pale colo and a flinty, yet rich nose, with hints of hazelnut (showing the wine's maturity) and a long, dry, herb tinged finsh. 19/20 points.
Other outstanding wines.
2012 Domaine L. Chatelain Chablis Grand Cru, Le Clos - Light gold colored, this had a fresh, minerally nose and notes of pear and peach, with a classic, steely finish. Purchased from Total Wine, it cost $59.99, a best buy, as the others cost upwards of $70 a bottle. 19/20 points.
2010 Domaine Patrick Piuze Chablis Grand Cru, Blanchots - This was my favorite in the entire tasting, and number two in the second flight. It showed a brilliant gold color and a saline nose of flint, peach and citrus, with a steely, classic finish. 19.5/20 points.
The tasting was preceeded by a 2000 Hanzell Sonoma County Chardonnay, in honor of its winemaker, Bob Sessions, who had just passed away. It had held up remarkably well, with superb varietal delineation and little oxidation. Thanks to Casey McClellan and Erik McLaughlin for hosting.
Last Saturday, the Perfectly Aged Wine Sippers (PAWS) assembled at the home of Ted and Joyce Cox for a tasting of Sangiovese wines, some from Italy, some from Washington. The wines were scored on the "Wine Country Getaways" 25 point scale (a new one for me). The scores were all over the place, so I am just listing the group's favorite and my top pick.
2010 Balboa Sangiovese, Columbia Valley - This was an amiable Sangio, which explains its top ranking. It showed a deep ruby color and rich aromas of raspberry and cherry, with a supple texture. I found it to be a nice wine, but not my favorite. 19/25 points.
2007 La Lecciaia Brunello di Montalcino, Riserva - I picked this out as a Brunello (Sangiovese Grosso). It showed a garnet color and classic aromas of dried berries and cherries, woody smoke and elegant medium-full bodied flavors and a long, dry, complex finish. A beautiful wine, I scored it 25/25 points.
Curriously, Walla Walla Vintners appeared three three times out of the seven wines being blind tasted, two from the 2012 vintage, one from 2011. Here's my notes on the 2012:
2012 Walla Walla Vintners Sangiovese, Columbia Valley - Deep ruby colored, it showed attractive aromas of raspberry, cherry and crushed roses, with supple, medium-bodied flavors that carried on nicely through the finish. I scored both bottles 21/25 points.
In my Review Blogs of April 30 and May 7, I mentioned that there are five tasting rooms that have opened in Downtown Walla Walla before Spring Release Weekend. The June issue of the Review of Washington Wines, which goes on line May 29, will report on these new tasting rooms. A similar proliferation has occurred in Woodinville. I was just there last Friday and noticed more tasting roomns around the vechicular roundabout by the Hollywood School. I visited new tasting rooms for Sparkman Cellars and Lauren Ashton Cellars (reports on these and others will be in the June issue).
This proliferation raises the question, "Can there be too many tasting rooms?" A few months ago, a friend forwarded an article from the Healdsburg California newspaper about locals complaining about too much traffic and too many people teeming around the downtown wine tasting rooms. Similar complaints have been voiced in Walla Walla.
The answer is simply that the wine industry, wherever it is, is a benefit to the local economy. It brings in visitors who spend their dollars, not only on wine, but on lodging and dining. It also creates jobs and grows the real estate market. All this brings in tax revenue that supports the schools, police and fire departments.
Overcrowding and environmental protection may be legitimate concerns, especially in the Woodinville area where county planners has restricted development in the agricultural areas surrounding the city. Another alarm has been sounded in Walla Walla with news of vineyard developers (with some out of state investors, including Chinese) purchasing land north of Highway 12, not far from the Spring Valley Vineyard. Some fear that the little guys might get squeezed out. To all this, I have to say that there's still plenty of room for growth. Walla Walla and Woodinville are still far away from becoming another Napa Valley or Sonoma County.
In my last blog posting, I predicted that Spring Release Weekend in Walla Walla would be the biggest and best ever. By all accounts, this has turned out to be the case, with a big turnout and lots of sales. Here's my rundown of our experiences. Our objectives for the weekend were to visit wineries that are open only for special events and to check out newcomers.
On Thursday, May 1, Lynn and I stopped by Tertulia Cellars which had some new Rhone-style reds and a Viognier and Rosé that will be reviewed in the July issue of the Review of Washington Wines. We also visited Dusted Valley whose new 2012's will be reviewed in July. At Abeja, we tasted the new releases which are already sold out.
On Friday, we went to Long Shadows (wines to be reviewed in July) and to the new downtown tasting rooms: Result of a Crush (Angela Reynvaan and Amanda Reynvaan Garratt), SuLei Cellars (Tanya Woodley and Elaine Jomwe), and the eponymous Gino Cuneo Cellars, and Henry Earl Estates. Previously, we had visited Mansion Creek Cellars (Julia Russell) and Studio TwoZeroTwo (Aryn Morell and Brandon Kubrock). A special report on the new tasting rooms will be in the June issue. In the afternoon, we stopped by àMaurice Cellars whose knock-out new Estate wines will be reviewed in July.
We started Satuday off by visiting Leonetti Cellar, chatted with Gary Figgins, and then tasted the new 2012 Merlot and 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon to be in the June issue. In the afternoon, we drove south to Balboa (Tom and Amy Glase) for their Fiesta de Vina Blanco, for their new white releases which will be reviewed in July. In the afternoon, we went to Corliss' (Michael and Lauri Corliss) annual gathering, where a sensational 2012 Syrah was previewed along with the 2011 reds which will be released in the fall.
On Sunday morning, we went to a brunch at Cadaretta's Glass House on the high slope overlooking the Valley from the south. The new 2013 SBS White and 2011 reds will be reviewed in July. That concluded a great and eventful Spring Release Weekend.
The PAWS Grenache Tasting
On Friday, April 25, Lynn and I hosted the monthly PAWS (Perfectly Aged Wine Sippers) tasting. The theme was Grenache. Seven wines were poured blind and ranked in order of preference by each taster. The lowest scoring (the total of each wine's cumulative ranking) wine was the winner, followed by the next lowest Here are the top three wines, with my notes and scores.
No. 1 - (34 points) - 2010 No Girls Grenache, Walla Walla Valley, Palencia Vineyard - This is a Cayuse Vineyards project. It showed a deep garnet color and seductive aromas of raspberry, strawberry, pomegrnate, crushed roses, oriental incense, and rich, complex, dry, slightly nutted flavors and a long finish. My ranking first, score 19.5/20 points.
No. 2 - (41 points) - 2006 Chateau Ste. Michelle "Limited Release" Grenache, Columbia Valley - This was a surprise runner-up that shows that Grenache can age well. Not my favorite (my ranking, sixth), but the well developed flavors can explain the overall ranking. It showed a direct varietal character, medium body, and a rich, grainy texture. My score 18.5/20 points.
No. 3 (42 points) - 2010 Rotie Cellars "Little G" Grenache, Columbia Valley - With a total score of just one point more than the above, this came in a near tie. It displayed a deep ruby color and an attractive nose of dark berries, tobacco and violets. To me, it came on as being sort of Syrah-like with ripe dark fruits and notes of blueberries and creme de cassis on the back. My ranking, second, 19/20 points.
More New Tasting Rooms in Downtown Walla Walla
In addition to the tasting rooms mentioned in my last blog posting of April 25th (see below), two more are slated to open Friday, May 2nd for Spring Release Weekend:
Result of A Crush, 134 W. Poplar Street - This is a side project of Matt Reynvaan's sisters, Amanda Reynvaan and Angela Reynvaan Garratt, producng attractively priced wines for frequent enjoyment.
Henry Earl Estate and Russell Creek, 25 E. Main Street (next to Otis Kenyon) - Henry Earl is new to the Walla Walla, so it will be interesting to see what the winery has to offer. The Russell Creek winery is located near the Airport, and is now offering another tasting venue downtown.
Special Events - Other wineries are hosting events over Spring Release Weekend. Balboa, on J.B. George Road is having its Festa de Vino Blanco to showcase its new whites. Tranche Cellars is having a Bonfire at the winery on Berney Drive, Friday evening. Locati Cellars, Don Carlo Vineyard and Tero Estates/Flying Trout will be open at their wineries west of Milton Freewater. Mansion Creek and Castillo de Feliciana are having Paella Parties on Friday evening. Waters and Sleight of Hand will be having winemaker dinners on Saturday.
This year's Walla Walla Valley Spring Release Weekend looks to be bigger and better than ever.
Walla Walla Valley Spring Release Weekend Preview
Next weekend, May 2-4 is Spring Release Weekend, the Walla Walla Valley's biggest wine event of the year. Many wineries will be pouring new releases. For suggested wineries to visit, check the March, April and May issues of the Review of Washington Wines. In addition, I recommend three other wineries that will be reviewed in June: Gramercy Cellars (new whites, a rosé and two reds), El Corazon (some knockout reds) and Rotie Cellars (Northern and Southern Red and the new 2013 Southern White).
There are some new tasting rooms in Downtown Walla Walla to visit: Tre Nova (Gino Cuneo, whose wines have been reviewed in the March issue), Precept Brands, representing Browne Family, Cavatappi, Ross Andrew and Waitsburg Cellars (Paul Gregutt's wines which are made at Precept), Mansion Creek (Julia Russell), Su Lei Cellars (Tanya Woodley and Elaine Jomwe), and Gallery Two Zero Two (202 East Main) representing Ardor Cellars (Brandon Kubrock) and Aryn Morell's wine portfolio (Alleromb, Tenor, Matthews Cellars and others). This year's Spring Release Weekend witll be bigger and better than ever.
Our First 20/20 Points White Wines
The May issue of the Review of Washington Wines has two firsts - the first two white wines scoring 20 out of 20 points. Hitherto, all 20 points wines have been reds. They are the 2013 àMaurice Cellars "Sparrow" Estate Viognier and the 2012 Reynvaan Family Vineyards "Queen's Road" White from the In the Rocks Vineyard. Both are compelling wines that meet the U.C. Davis 20 Point System criteria for 20 points, flawless and balanced wines, including 4 points for "Wines of 'noble' quality, with distinct and distinguishing character."
Does this signal a new direction toward higher quality Washington whites? Well, yes and no. There are outstanding white wines already being made in Washington State, so this is not something really new. There are already a goodly number of exceptional 19 points Chardonnays from the Conner Lee (Guardian Cellars, Bookwalter, Buty), French Creek (Maison Bleue, Sleight of Hand) and Celilo (Tranche) vineyards. The Dowsett Family Cellars' 2012 Gewurztraminer from the Celilo Vineyard scored a highly impressive 19.5/20 points (August, 2013). Abeja and Mark Ryan have excelled with Viognier, and Chateau Ste. Michelle's Eroica and Long Shadows Poet's Leap are outstanding old vine Rieslings. Maison Bleue and Rotie Cellars have been making extraordinary Rhone-style whites from Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne. Stellar Sauvignon Blancs have been made by Efesté and Tenor. On the other hand, there seems to be more serious interest in white wines from the winemaker and consumer standpoints. Two wineries, Array and Ashan are dedicated to making outstanding Chadonnays. See the March 2013 issue for reviews of Array's Charodnnays. I have samples on order of the Ashan Chardonnays (made by Chris Gorman), and the wines will be reviewed in a future issue. Another winery which has stirred considerable anticipation is Charles Smith in Walla Walla which hired Brennon Leighton from Efesté to make white wines at the former Whitman Cellars facility. Given Brennon's talents, the wines are expected to be stunning. Jason Fox's Lagana Cellars is also focusing on whites and his 2013 Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc (to be reviewed in June) mark an auspicious debut for a young winemaker. All this suggests that there is, indeed, a new direction for Washington whites, one that is more focused and dedicated to high quality. More later!

Arizona Cardinals' Calais Campbell returns to Phoenix
Good news for Calais Campbell and the Arizona Cardinals, according to team media relations guru Mark Dalton.
Great news: Calais @Campbell93 was released from Bay Area hospital late last night & has returned home to AZ.— MarkDalton (@CardsMarkD) October 14, 2013
Campbell was injured in the fourth quarter of the Cardinals' 32-20 loss to the San Francisco 49ers Sunday at Candlestick Park.
"The good news is that Calais was released last night from the Stanford hospital," Cardinals general manager Steve Keim told Doug and Wolf on Arizona Sports 620 Monday. "We got him back late last night and were updated that he will be in meetings (Monday) morning. We still have a few items to review with the x-rays and the MRI, but everything, at this point, looks positive."
Campbell experienced numbness and tingling in his extremities following the play, but didn't lose motion. He gave a "thumbs-up" sign as he left the field on a stretcher.
I want to give a big thank you for all the support and kind words today. I am feeling good and anxious to return! #appreciatethelove— Calais Campbell (@Campbell93) October 14, 2013

Shooting of Andy Lopez
|Approximately 3:14 PM (PST)
|October 22, 2013
|Moorland Avenue and West Robles Avenue, Sonoma County, California, United States
|Erick Gelhaus (shooter)
Andy Lopez (death)
|Andy Lopez
|None filed[1]
|Lawsuit seeking unspecified damages against Sonoma County and Gelhaus pending
The fatal shooting of Andy Lopez by Sonoma County sheriff's deputy Erick Gelhaus took place on October 22, 2013, in Santa Rosa, California. 13-year-old Lopez was carrying an airsoft gun that was designed to resemble an AK-47 assault rifle. Gelhaus opened fire on Lopez, mistaking the airsoft gun for a real firearm. The shooting prompted many protests in Santa Rosa, and throughout California.
On November 4, 2013, the Lopez family filed a federal civil rights lawsuit at the U.S. District Court.
On July 7, 2014, District Attorney Jill Ravitch announced no charges would be filed against Gelhaus.
Andy Lopez, 13, (June 2, 2000[2] - October 22, 2013) was an eighth-grade student who attended Lewis Opportunity School in Santa Rosa. He was raised in the Moorland Avenue neighborhood in southwest Santa Rosa. He transferred to Lewis Opportunity School from Cook Middle School one week prior to his death.[3] At the time of the shooting, Andy had smoked marijuana within the last 60 to 75 minutes and was "likely feeling the effects of that marijuana at the time of his encounter with the sheriff's deputies."[4]
Erick Gelhaus is a Sonoma County sheriffs' deputy, and has worked with the agency for 24 years. He is an Iraq war veteran. Gelhaus is a firearms instructor and is a contributing writer to gun publications. He was an instructor for ten years at Gunsite Academy, an Arizona-based company that teaches gun-handling, marksmanship, and law enforcement to "elite military personnel, law enforcement officers and free citizens of the U.S." He specialized in teaching pistol, carbine, shotgun and rifle lessons.[5] He accidentally shot himself in the leg in 1995 while on duty with the sheriff's office, reportedly while holstering a gun during an attempt at searching a teenager for weapons. In his 24 years in law enforcement, he had never shot a suspect until the shooting of Lopez.[6][7]
According to Santa Rosa Police Lieutenant Paul Henry, two Sonoma County sheriff's deputies were patrolling the Moorland Avenue neighborhood when they spotted Andy Lopez, who was carrying an airsoft replica of an AK-47 assault rifle[8] which did not have the orange tip that is a legal requirement for all toy guns for import.[citation needed] The sheriff's deputies reportedly approached the children from behind and called out to demand that Lopez drop the weapon, while he was walking on Moorland, just past the corner of West Robles Avenue. Deputy Michael Schemmel remained in the police car while deputy Erick Gelhaus was outside of the car and was directly interacting with Lopez. At 3:14 pm, Erick Gelhaus, fired 8 shots at Lopez from his department-issued 9 mm handgun.[9] Seven bullets hit Andy within 6 seconds, two of them delivering fatal wounds with one round hitting him on his side while he was turning to face the police, according to an autopsy. The deputies then immediately handcuffed Lopez. When Lopez was searched after the shooting he was also found to have a replica pistol in his waistband, which reportedly looked realistic and was missing its orange tip. He was pronounced dead on the scene.[10] There are conflicting reasons given as to why Lopez was carrying the replica firearms, with some stating that he was returning them to a friend and others saying that he was supposedly going to use them to try and scare a friend as a joke. Lopez was found to be under the influence of marijuana after an autopsy.[11]
On October 26, 2013, the Federal Bureau of Investigation started to conduct an independent investigation in Lopez's death. Sonoma County Sheriff Steve Freitas announced in a statement on October 25 that he will cooperate fully with federal investigators.[12] It is the first time for the FBI to investigate an officer-involved shooting in Sonoma County since the 1997 shooting death of Kuan Chung Kao in Rohnert Park.[13]
Investigators said Gelhaus feared for his safety after Lopez turned around and allegedly raised the pellet gun in his direction (a replica of an AK-47 that was an air-soft gun that fired plastic pellets). Gelhaus told investigators that he could not remember if he verbally identified himself as a deputy sheriff, although he was in a deputy sheriff's uniform and marked sheriff's patrol car before firing at Lopez.[9]
Gelhaus was cleared to return to duty on December 9, 2013, but was able to work at his desk and not on patrol. On July 7, 2014, District Attorney Jill Ravitch announced no charges would be filed against Gelhaus.[1]
Civil action[edit]
Arnoldo Casillas, the lawyer representing Lopez's family, said that the shooting was unconstitutional because it violated the Fourth Amendment's limits on police authority. On November 4, the Lopez family filed a lawsuit at the U.S. District Court in San Francisco, claiming that Deputy Erick Gelhaus shot Lopez "without reasonable cause."[14][15][16]
A series of protests were organized and held following Lopez's death. The protests were mainly organized by immigrant, religious and community groups and activists.[17] Many protesters have stated that Lopez's shooting was a case of police brutality. On October 25, 2013, more than 100 people, consisting mostly of middle school and high school students, protested at the Santa Rosa City Hall.[12] On October 29, over 1,000 people attended a protest in downtown Santa Rosa, in the form of a mass march. The march initiated in the Courthouse Square in downtown Santa Rosa, and ended at the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office. Lawyer John Burris, who represented the family of police brutality victim Oscar Grant, gave a speech at the rally. Attendees traveled from all over the San Francisco Bay Area to attend the event. Many protesters held picket signs demanding justice.[18][19][20][2][6] Up to 200 people attended a march in Santa Rosa on November 5, 2013, including activist Cindy Sheehan.[21] They also demanded that District Attorney Jill Ravitch issue an arrest warrant for Gelhaus or put together a grand jury, but she declined both, stating that the investigation would take time.[22]
Rallies were held statewide on November 9, 2013, in Santa Rosa, Oakland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Sacramento and Merced.[23]
On November 26, 2013, several people were detained during protests in Santa Rosa. A dozen demonstrators were cited for blocking traffic, and one demonstrator was arrested and booked for resisting arrest. There were 80 people attending that protest, consisting of local middle and high-school students, and several members of By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), a Bay Area-based civil rights group.[24]
On December 3, 2013, protesters targeted Ravitch at her re-election fundraiser.[25]
On December 9, 2013, Gelhaus was cleared to return to duty, which resulted in additional protests.[26]
One person was arrested for battery on a police officer for allegedly punching a police officer and hitting another officer with a picket sign during a protest at the Santa Rosa City Hall on December 10, 2013. Charges were dropped against this person in May 2014.[27] A second person was arrested for obstructing a police officer and violating probation. Multiple protesters vandalized the front door of the Sonoma County Jail, breaking its glass.[28][29]
On February 17, 2014, protesters for Andy Lopez gathered at the Santa Rosa Plaza food court to eat lunch while wearing shirts displaying "RIP Andy Lopez." Several mall security guards came up to them and asked them to remove their t-shirts or leave the mall. The attorney for Simon Malls, owner of Santa Rosa Plaza, apologized in a letter issued to relatives of Andy Lopez, stating that they were disappointed that the security guards did not comply with the mall's policies and procedures. The head of security for Santa Rosa Plaza was fired one month later in connection with the incident.[30]
On July 12, 2014, over 100 protesters held a rally at the Old Courthouse Square in Santa Rosa, in response to their disapproval with prosecutors' decision to not file charges against Erick Gelhaus. A small group of protesters marched up onto northbound Highway 101, blocking traffic.[31]
A memorial park was created for Lopez in December 2013, located near the site of his death.[32]
