NEW BUFFALO, Mich. — If you’re a cool cat looking

for an out-of-this-world time, look no further than New Buffalo. On Saturday, Nov. 8, the iRock JAZZ Festival is making its inau-gural debut, bringing in more than 30 musicians to the city.

The Saturday festival is the brain child of New Buffalo resident and iRock JAZZ Founder/CEO John Moultrie. According to Moultrie, the town of New Buffalo is going to be trans-formed into various jazz venues when it returns to Harbor Country next week.

“We’re going to convert some of the restaurants within the town and virtu-ally have seven different jazz venues throughout the town,” Moultrie said.

Those venues include Timothy’s, Roma Pizza, New Buffalo Yacht Club, New Buffalo Performing Arts Center, El Rancho Grande, Casey’s, Brewster’s and Bentwood Tavern.

For those into a particu-lar variety of jazz, chances are it will be included in one of the 18 shows the fest will offer.

“Everybody has their perception of jazz,” Moultrie said. “There’s instrumental music, there’s smooth jazz, there’s tradi-tional jazz, there’s experi-mental jazz. We’ll have a variety of everything.”

Moultrie said the per-

formers, who hail from places like New York, Chicago, Tennessee and Canada, will provide guests who are new to jazz with the chance to discover something they will really enjoy.

“We’re bringing in a group of people reflective of the music and the cul-ture and its diversity,” Moultrie said. “People will get a chance to kind of find their type of music and what they like.”

Moultrie understands the trials and tribulations businesses of a resort com-munity face as the colder weather rolls in and the economic tide begins to turn.

“As soon as the weather changes, what we find is that a lot of the second homeowners go back home. It is hard for busi-ness to survive during the off season,” Moultrie said. “This is one of the reasons why I decided to jumpstart at least some part of the activities that will take part in the fall this year.”

It is Moultrie’s goal to entertain the people who are currently in town, and to help cultivate a group of people who will visit New Buffalo in the off-season.

“This is a welcome mat,” Moultrie said. “Supporting this festival means we are supporting the small business owners that stay open during the off-season.”

festival, Moultrie spoke proudly about the “crown jewel of Harbor Country.”

“At the end of the day, it’s still a jazz festival about music, but more importantly, we’re trying

to help create an experi-ence that’s second to none. (We are) providing enter-tainment in venues of peo-ple I consider my friends, in a place I call home,” Moultrie said.

CUISINE SCENEOff The Water, Michiana WeekofOct.30-Nov.6,2014•

Merlot makes a comebackIt’s time to move beyond

the so-called “Sideways Effect” and try merlot

again.It’s been documented

over and over how the 2004 movie “Sideways” wrecked Merlot sales and sent Pinot Noir sales skyrocketing. The truth of the matter is a little less dramatic than those descriptions that were always overstated, but cer-tainly true.

Up until that fun little movie when Miles uttered, “I’m not drinking any ******* Merlot” the grape was one of the nation’s favorites. It was the biggest selling wine in America in 2000. Nielsen statistics showed Merlot consistent-ly holding around 14 per-cent of overall U.S. wine sales. Merlot even out sold Cabernet in 2001. Pinot Noir was really just a blip on the map.

After the movie Merlot sales dipped, not as dra-matically as you may have heard described but dropped nonetheless. According to 2013 statistics Chardonnay

remains the grape of choice at 13 percent, Cabernet at 12 percent, then comes revenge of Merlot at 9 per-cent. Pinot Noir has cer-tainly picked up market share now at 7.5 percent of U.S. sales. Pinot Grigio and Muscato are surprisingly also in the top five in sales.

But we’re talking Merlot here people. There was a drop, after Sideways was released Merlot sales dropped two percent.

“After Sideways the market got focused,” said Merlot maven P.J. Alviso, Director of Estate Viticulture for Duckhorn vineyards in Napa. “We had to develop a tolerance for no bad wine and there was a lot of it out there. The market was flooded with bad Merlot.”

It might surprise the Pinot-sniffing, Merlot-bashing wine snobs or wine snob wannabes that Merlot is the most widely planted grape in the world at 720,000 acres!

As some might expect, France plants the most

Merlot at nearly a quarter a million acres. The wonderful wine blends of Saint Emilion are dominated by Merlot. More surprising, perhaps, is that Italy is the number-two Merlot producer at 93,000 acres compared to the

55,000 acres in the U.S.Merlot is believed to

date back to 1748 in Bordeaux France. The word comes from the French word “merle,’ which means “blackbird.” The grape is genetically

linked to Cabernet France and a sibling to Cabernet and Carmenere.

What do you get in a Merlot? The better ques-tion is what should you get from good Merlot? The textbook characteristics are black cherry, plum, olive, cedar, blackberry, currant, dark chocolate, cocoa, pep-pers, and an earthiness.

Merlot of the late 1990s and early part of this century were often flabby, thin wines or terribly out of balance. Many were musty to the taste and unfocused. That’s just not the case any longer.

Growers like Alviso believe Napa has some of the world’s best terroir for grow-ing the grape. “Merlot is rela-tively easy to grow and that’s why so much is planted,” he said, “but it’s not easy to make great wine.”

You can find Merlot from many different states and parts of the world. Washington winemakers turnout out great Merlot wine and Merlot blends. If you want to try stunning Merlot at a stunning price for

some folks, pick up a Napa Rutherford Hill or Duckhorn Vineyard Merlot. If you want something light with classic Merlot flavors, see if you can find a Northern Michigan cool-climate Merlot.

It’s time to drink some ******* Merlot!

Elkhart County Parks opens Ox Bow Park TowerELKHART, Ind. —

The Elkhart County Parks will celebrate

the grand opening of the Ox Bow Park Tower on Saturday, Nov. 1 at 1 p.m. with a ribbon cutting cere-mony.

Ancon Construction and the Elkhart County Parks are placing the final touch-es, inspections, signage and landscaping on this new park icon and it will be ready for the public to enjoy after the ceremony.

The community is wel-come to the event and entry into the park will be free the entire weekend. The steel beam and treated lum-ber structure stands 34 feet high and features a first level accessible platform. The capacity load is 316 people and it overlooks the lower field. The modern tower was designed with safety, accessibility and multi-use purposes in mind.

The Elkhart County Parks envisions the new tower will be used for observation during cross country meets as well as public programs and is excited the first level will be accessible.

The public is also wel-come to bring memories of the old tower to the event. Copies of photographs, art-work, handwritten stories and poems are welcome. There will be a “memory board” on display during the ribbon cutting ceremo-ny, and afterwards the materials will be preserved by the park department.

Light refreshments will also be served.

The original tower built in 1972 was an icon to Ox Bow County Park until it was burned by fire in the summer of 2010. In the midst of an economic decline, it was deemed a non-essential item; there-fore the County’s self-insurance was unable to cover the cost to rebuild.

With an outcry from the general public, the Elkhart County Park and Recreation Board stated a new tower could be constructed if the public helped raise the funds.

A designated donation fund was established in August of 2010 and Ancon Construction came forward to offer its expertise. Volunteers from the Two Rivers Running Club and Concord Ox Bow Elementary School initiat-ed the first fundraisers while many others from the community gave through t-shirt sales and donation boxes.

In 2013, the Elkhart County Community

Elkhart County Parks will host a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate its new tower on Saturday.

Foundation gave the larg-est tower project gift with a $32,000.00 matching grant. This grant inspired other area foundations and donors to give funds for the Tower Project. Local foundations such as the Bill Deputy Foundation, Ironis Family Foundation, Welter Foundation, Monogram Loves Kids Foundation, and Corson Family Foundation all contributed and in addition many donations were given by individuals and service clubs.

To date the Elkhart County Parks has raised $133,280 including $42,000 from the county. The tower will cost over

$120,000 with the remain-ing funds to be used for a nearby concrete accessible parking pad.

Donations are still need-ed for park amenities such as a bike rack, educational signage, security lighting and a spotting scope. There is still time to give towards the tower amenities, but the department would prefer all donations by Dec. 31, 2014. Gifts of $250 or more will have their names placed on the permanent donor that will be installed in the spring.

For more information contact the Elkhart County Parks at (574) 535-6458 or visit www.elkhartcountyp-arks.org.

Last Sunday I was wandering around one of the last out-

door farmers markets of the season scoping out the beautiful fall produce. I came upon a gorgeous dis-play of organic turnips and it occurred to me that I hadn’t had them in ages! There are so many great regional root vegetables in

the fall that it’s easy to for-get one.

These looked too beau-tiful to pass up and I’d been craving something starchy and interesting.

Voila, the white and pur-ple bulbous root answered the call!

Turnips are delicious prepared in a variety of ways. They can be roasted

with other veggies, fried in a hash, baked in casseroles, cooked in stews, and steamed for salads. I typi-cally roast them, but this time I decided to mash and whip them up for a change of pace. Wow, was that a great idea!

They’re sweet and nutty at the same time so stirring in soy milk and sage gave

them a nice contrast. I think adding some fresh dill or parsley would really add to the dish as well. I was trying to keep it totally local, so I went with the hearty sauteed cabbage and celery combo to add flavor and depth.

This should be a nice complement to your fall and winter plate since these roots typically grow from October through the winter.

Mashed TurnipsYield: about 3 cups (four side servings)

2 cups turnips, peeled and quartered4 cups vegetable stock½ tablespoon grapeseed or vegetable oil5 cloves garlic, minced1 cup celery, sliced1 cup green cabbage, chopped¾ teaspoon sea salt¼ teaspoon rubbed sage1/8 teaspoon mustard powder¼ cup soy or almond milk

Place turnips and vegetable stock in a pot and bring to a boil. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until tender then drain.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet. Cook the celery and garlic for about 3 min-utes until they start to become tender, then add the cabbage and sea salt. Cook until cabbage is tender and celery is almost translucent.

Combine turnips with remaining ingredients in a pot or bowl and carefully puree with a hand blender. You could also use a blender or food processor. I usually just stir everything together in the small stockpot I cook the turnips in and use a hand blender to save dishes. For a rougher texture use a potato masher.

Serve with blackened tofu, spiced black beans, or savory tempeh and green vegetable.
