"Deep ruby-red. Pungent aromas of black raspberry and pepper; less fruity today than the Kistler Vineyard example. Then denser and thicker in the mouth, if not quite as sharply delineated as the Kistler Vineyard bottling. Offers a very pure flavor of dark raspberry and a chewy impression of extract. Wonderfully ripe but with a nicely restrained sweetness. This has terrific fruit.Rating: 93(+?)"

Founded in 1978, Kistler Vineyards is a small, family-owned and operated winery specializing in the production of Burgundian style Chardonnay and limited amounts of Pinot Noir. Grapes are estate grown and purchased from vineyards in Sonoma County. In 1992, Kistler Vineyards moved all production to its Vine Hill Road Vineyard in the Russian River Valley.
The Russian River Valley is named as such due to its proximity to the Russian River, the river itself named for the Russian fur traders who came down from Alaska in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Russian River is agricultural land. While there is a focus on wine, beyond the vineyards are many small, family-owned farms cultivating everything from cattle to...Read More About Russian River

A 3.0-magnitude earthquake centered 2 miles south of Springtown in northeast Parker County did no damage but was felt about 1:54 p.m. by people in Springtown, Azle and Weatherford, as well as Boyd in Wise County, an official with the U.S. Geological Survey said."I have 10 email reports from people feeling it in the area," geophysicist John Bellini said. "People will feel this size earthquake if they're awake, and maybe hear a little boom. But it really needs to be a 4.5 to 5 to cause damage."Several earthquakes have occurred in the same general area since Tuesday, Bellini said.The first, a 2.6-magnitude quake about 2 miles east of Reno, was at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday and was followed at 10 p.m. by an aftershock.A 2.9-magnitude quake was felt at 10:30 p.m. Thursday, about 5 miles south-southwest of Springtown.Saturday's quake likely resulted from movement of a 100-foot fault, Bellini said. Injection wells used by gas-drilling companies can lubricate faults, but out of the thousands of such wells in the U.S., only about half a dozen have been linked to induced seismicity (the rate of earthquakes in an area), Bellini said.The Parker County Sheriff's Department received no calls Saturday reporting an earthquake or damage from one, said spokeswoman Danie Huffman. This report includes material from the Star-Telegram archives.

Get best teachers with higher pay
Teachers must be paid significantly more money. No matter what programs, curriculum or technology we offer, the individuals we employ to teach our students must be academically talented in regard to their discipline. We hope they are good with children, and we hope they can communicate and plan lessons well. But if teachers have not excelled in study, we should not expect children to excel under their tutelage.
We have underpaid teachers for so long that the quality of instruction has deteriorated to dangerous levels. The teachers we have at present are paid appropriately for their skill level, but this skill level is not nearly sufficient. We need the best and the brightest, not the mediocre, to seriously consider education as a career path.
Conservatively speaking, this would require an entry level salary in the mid-$40,000 range with significant yearly raises. It should not be uncommon for a teacher with 10 years of experience to make $70,000 per year. Competition for these teaching positions should be fierce. We only want the best. If this means we have to have fewer teachers and larger class sizes, then we simply have to find a way to be successful under those terms.
Cleveland, Tenn.
Public TV just a voice for liberals
Public television overall has been nothing more than a liberal spin machine for the Democratic Party, and the American tax dollars have paid the bill.
I don't watch the conservative talk show hosts either. The major difference is this: My tax dollars don't support their conservative views and their show.
So the Democratic Party and the teachers' union will have to find other means to brainwash the small children at public schools who are being taught by the government workers.

Murray Hills better than story indicates
I feel your staff writer did a great disservice to our Murray Hills neighborhood in an article which appeared in Sunday's Times Free Press. The writer used some rather startling statistics to paint our neighborhood as one where crime is rampant and robberies are out of control.
We have had our share of crime in the past few months, but in my experience, Murray Hills is one of the safest, most convenient, community-minded and attractive places to live in all of Chattanooga. I have lived in Murray Hills since 1960, and many of my neighbors live in the same house they bought when it was brand new in the late '50s.
Our community includes over 400 households representing a diversity of race and background that contributes to the spirit of the neighborhood. Our residents include a County Commission member, a City Council member, two active churches, newlyweds and seniors. We enjoy two beautiful parks, a walking track, and an active neighborhood association, and many lucky residents have a nice view of Chickamauga Lake and the mountains beyond.
Could we use more police presence ... sure! What community does not? Are we rife with crime ... certainly not! Visit Murray Hills any time. You will be impressed.
Unions at forefront of GOP attacks
Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush attacked labor unions in earnest. Now, teachers unions are the favorite target. Rhonda Thurman said, "they have too much power." Another ludicrous statement from her. Unfortunately, state Sen. Bo Watson and state Reps. Vince Dean, Richard Floyd and Gerald McCormick agree.
If you take away teacher rights to "collective bargaining," you destroy their voice in their working conditions which directly effects children. If you support this you are not a friend of teachers, even if you think you are. Such ignorance!
What are they afraid of? Teachers in Tennessee can't strike! All teachers want is to sit down and discuss what is fair. I can assure you their salaries are not going to encourage the best and brightest in our county to teach here. Teachers have for years left and gone to Georgia for better pay.
Republicans have historically fought unions. Do these latter-day haters of unions know what they are doing? They are helping to destroy the middle class! Do they not know that prior to the industrial revolution, we only had the rich and poor classes in our country?
Is that what Republicans want? Labor unions created the middle class. Destroy unions and you destroy middle America!
Don't abolish funding for arts
The move at the national level to greatly reduce funding or abolish funding for the National Endowment for the Arts is extremely distressing to me although I have no direct connection to the arts community.
Arts organizations in our region either benefit directly or indirectly -- through the Tennessee Arts Commission -- from NEA funding.
The area arts organizations that I am familiar with: Allied Arts, Arts and Education Council and Chattanooga Symphony and Opera provide real benefits to the Chattanooga area.
Each of these organizations has outreach programs that provide arts programs for the children in Hamilton and surrounding counties. Programs such as the Conference on Southern Literature sponsored by the Arts and Education Council attract authors from around the country and attendees from the Southeast region. These people stay in local hotels and eat in local restaurants. Many undoubtedly bring their families back to enjoy the amenities here.
I challenge our politicians to evaluate the real benefits that accrue to this state and this region from having a healthy and vibrant environment for fostering the arts. On the national level, arts funding is minuscule compared to other budget items and should be retained.
Signal Mountain
Spread budget cuts across the board
Our representatives in Congress are proposing large cuts to bring down the runaway deficits. I agree, but let's look at where the cuts are proposed.
Are there cuts affecting the wealthy other than tax cuts? How about big business? Oil companies are making record profits, but there doesn't seem to be any corporate welfare cut.
There do appear to be EPA cuts while mining companies are still allowed to do "mountaintop mining," and there is a lack of safety enforcement.
How about Wall Street? No "regulations" wanted there.
National Public Radio funds are up for total cuts. Poor "Sesame Street'' and WTCI-Channel 45.
States are trying to "break" union collective bargaining. Poor teachers and public workers. Well, we all know they don't really work.
Proposed cuts in Medicare, food stamps and Social Security do affect the poor, aged, young and the working middle class.
No COLA for Social Security recipients. I think all would be willing to sacrifice some, but it doesn't seem the wealthy and big business are being asked to sacrifice at all. Be fair and spread the cuts across the board and stop trying to balance the budget and cut deficits on the backs of those less fortunate.
Red Bank
Art cuts will lead to more losses
The city of Chattanooga receives a great deal in return for its mere $20,000 for support of public art.
It would be fiscally irresponsible to eliminate that $20,000 which is matched by foundation and individual support and provides enrichment of our cultural landscape which provides further economic benefit for the city of Chattanooga.
Take away that $20,000 and we will lose a great deal more.

"Public television overall has been nothing more than a liberal spin machine for the Democratic Party, and the American tax dollars have paid the bill" "I don't watch the conservative talk show hosts either" MITCH BOWMAN
Chickamauga, Ga.
haw,haw,haw! The thought of Public television funding would never have have entered your pointed little head were it not for"conservative talk show hosts"
I have wondered: what if the workers rallying in Wisconsin were armed? What if the Tea Party were black? Would the nation tolerate protestors wearing guns and waving threatening signs if those doing the protesting weren't predominantly white conservatives?
The answer is simple: no. If even a small fraction of the tens of thousands descending on Madison, Wisconsin had brandished guns and signs about using violence to stop legislation, the National Guard would have been called out on day one. If the Tea Party were black we'd have seen water cannons and dogs, like in the '60s.
When the Tea Party was allowed to brandish guns and wave threatening signs at their rallies, it only proved how toothless and anemic their movement is. They are no threat to the status quo, no threat to the powerful interests that rule the country. They can wave all the guns they want, they are supporting the wealthy and powerful, those "fighter pilots of capitalism." The powers that be will let them display their guns because it's no threat to them.
Workers rallying for their rights, however, upsets the status quo. Union members protesting in Wisconsin don't need to wear guns -- their mere presence is threatening enough. Witness the fearful rhetoric out of Fox News and supporters of the status quo, folks like Michelle Malkin and Glenn Beck. These folks have called workers rallying for their rights "thugs" and "borderline violent" and "evil." (ht;southern beale)
This what i don't get....what if everyone's employer said 10% cut in wages & benefits plus longer hours.Everyone would up in arms.Let's just go back to 1900 & 6 cents an hour & 6 12 hour workdays & get it over with for gosh sakes.The world is full of that kind of labor & there is nothing we can do because the rich corporations want even more wealth.And they will get it at our expense.
I just love my monthly update from the Bentons, Stulces and, uh, "WILBOURNE C. MARKHAM."
Hey Willie, move to Michigan if you love the unions so much.
I'm beginning to think "liberal" is synonymous with "educated." Some people just don't like learning anything that casts doubt on their biases. Public broadcasting does that too often for some people, so they want to cut off funding of non-commercial programming in the public interest. If public broadcasting dies, we'll have only programs that shill for corporate profits.
WILBOURNE C. MARKHAM wrote of working conditions which directly "effects" children.
Who was your English teacher? As a taxpayer, I want to know.

Former Colorado Avalanche stars Peter Forsberg and Rob Blake are now part of the Hockey Hall of Fame. They joined Bill McCreary, Pat Burns, Dominik Hasek, and Mike Modano today as the six newest members selected to join an elite class.
Drafted 6th overall in 1991 by the Philadelphia Flyers, Forsberg was traded to the Quebec Nordiques as part of the famed Eric Lindross trade. Forsberg made his NHL debut for the Nordiques in 1994, posting 50 points in 47 games and winning the Calder Trophy as the league's top rookie. Forsberg spent the first nine years of his career with the Nordiques/Avalanche organization; winning two Stanley Cups (1996 and 2001) and collecting a Hart Trophy as league MVP in 2003. After spending a couple of seasons in Philadelphia and Nashville where he battled injuries, Forsberg returned to the Avs for a playoff run in 2008 but was once again limited due to injuries. It looked like his NHL career would be over, but he tried to give it one more go in 2011. Unfortunately the injuries were just too much, limiting Forsberg to just two games before he finally decided to call it quits for good. In 708 NHL games, Forsberg amassed 977 points, with 762 of those points coming in an Avalanche uniform. Forsberg also made a huge impact on the international scene, winning two Olympic gold medals as part of Team Sweden. His famed shootout goal in 1994 that clinched the gold for Sweden was made into a stamp in his home country. The Colorado Avalanche organization retired his jersey on October 8, 2011. Although injuries cut the career of Forsberg short, he'll always be remembered as an outstanding all-around player with excellent passing skills who was not afraid to play psychical, even when he had the puck.
Drafted 70th overall in 1988 by the Los Angeles Kings, Rob Blake didn't spend many years with the Colorado Avalanche organization, but he turned out to be the missing piece in 2001. After losing in back-to-back Western Conference Finals, the Avalanche traded for Blake in 2001, feeling they needed a third outstanding defenseman to play alongside Adam Foote and Ray Bourque. That feeling turned out to be correct as Blake helped anchor the Avalanche defense to a Stanley Cup in 2001. Blake spent the next four years in Colorado, playing in a total of 322 games for the organization before returning to the Kings. Blake played in 1270 NHL games, scoring 806 points. Along with the Stanley Cup in 2001, Blake won the Norris Trophy as the league's top defenseman in 1997 and a Gold Medal as part of Team Canada in 2002. Blake was inducted to the Avalanche Alumni Association on March 3, 2012. Blake is best known for his rocket of a slap shot and his well-timed hip checks on the defensive end.
We here at Mile High Sticking would like to congratulate all six members going into this years Hockey Hall of Fame.

WEDNESDAY, Sept. 7 (HealthDay News) -- Carrying extra weight,
especially around the middle, is a risk factor for death among
black women, according to a new study.
And the heavier a woman is, the greater her risk of dying sooner
than her normal-weight peers.
"The risk of death increased incrementally with rising body mass index (BMI). Once women were above normal weight, they had an increased risk of death," said the study's senior author, Dr. Julie Palmer, a professor of epidemiology at the Slone Epidemiology Center at Boston University.
In addition, she said, "independent of BMI, women who had a
higher waist circumference had an increased risk of death. And,
this finding was primarily in normal-weight women."
Palmer said as women gain weight, the health risks of obesity
may diminish the impact of a larger waist on the risk of death.
Results of the study are published in the Sept. 8 issue of the
New England Journal of Medicine.
Overall obesity and abdominal obesity are both increasing
rapidly in America. It's projected that by 2020, as many as 70
percent of black women in America will be obese and up to 90
percent will have abdominal obesity, according to background
information in the study.
Some previous research had suggested that obesity might not
increase the risk of death as much for black women as it does for
white or Asian women in America. Authors of the current study
suspected that other factors, such as smoking or socioeconomic
status, might have mitigated the actual effects of obesity on the
risk of death in black women.
The current study included data from the Black Women's Health
Study, a national sample of almost 52,000 black women in America.
The women were between the ages of 21 and 69 when they enrolled in
the study, and none had a history of cancer or heart disease.
The study began in 1995 and continued through 2008. The women
were contacted every two years during the study.
During that time, 770 women who had never smoked died. In
nonsmokers, the researchers found that the risk of death was lowest
for those who had a BMI in the range of 20 to 24.9, which is
considered normal. (BMI is an estimate of body fat using height and
As soon as women crossed the threshold to overweight, however,
the risk of dying increased. For women with a BMI of 25 to 27.4,
the risk of death was 12 percent higher than for women with a
normal BMI. With a BMI of 27.5 to 29.9, nonsmoking black women had
a 31 percent increased risk of death.
At 30 to 34.9 -- a BMI of 30 is considered obese -- nonsmoking
black women faced a 27 percent higher risk of death. When BMI
reached 35 to 39.9, the risk of death increased to 51 percent
higher compared to women of normal BMI. Women whose BMIs were 40 to
49.9 faced a death risk more than double that of a normal-weight
The researchers also found an association between a larger waist
circumference and the risk of death, though this link was strongest
for women who had a BMI under 30. After adjusting for BMI, the
researchers found that women with waists between 40 and 47 inches
had a 40 percent higher risk of death than did women whose waists
were 26 to 27 inches, according to the study.
"BMI is just a number. The distribution of the fat means something," explained Dr. Mitchell Roslin, chief of bariatric surgery at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.
"When you see people who have larger hips and buttocks, they usually don't have diabetes or cardiac disease, but they have a high risk of joint disease and other problems. People who are apple-shaped tend to have more cardiac disease and diabetes, and we used to think it was just the apples that we had to worry about, but now we know it's just different problems," he said.
"The take-away from this is that we
all need to eat healthier. The healthiest foods come from in
the ground, not the middle aisles of the supermarket. And, physical
fitness mitigates a lot of risk," Roslin added.
He also said it's important to realize that losing any weight is
helpful, even if you're still in a higher risk category. "If a
woman with a BMI of 33 lowers it to 28, she still has a higher risk
according to the study, but she will feel so much better," Roslin
