March 28, 2008 The Carmel Pine Cone 3A When is a tasting room just a tasting room?

By MARY BROWNFIELD

A NEW wine shop and tasting room can open on San Carlos Street, the Carmel Planning Commission decided March 12, but it can’t pour more than six tastes of 2 ounces each per customer. That restriction — the first of its kind placed on a tasting room in the city — grew out of commissioners’ concerns the business would be more of a bar than a place to sample Six two-ounce wines, pick favorites, buy bottles and leave. glasses is your According to applicant limit — and Larry Jackson, Vino Prima Wine Lounge would open in don’t ask for the Doud Arcade in a former a beer gift shop fronting on San Carlos Street. It would feature “medium and upper tier Monterey County and other California wines” and some light snacks. Although Jackson proposed offering bottled beer to non- wine drinkers, senior planner Sean Conroy said beverages should be limited to wine and water, in keeping with a tasting room intended to showcase wines for sale. The business would be divided into 55 percent shop and 45 percent lounge, with 10 seats. Carmel law caps the number of bars in town at three — a quota filled by A.W. Shucks, Sade’s and for Jack London’s. But as long Ken Talmage City Council as selling wine, rather than letting customers drink it, is the primary purpose of a business, it is not counted as Ken’s commitment is to preserve, protect a bar, Conroy told the commission. According to Jackson, wine tasting would and maintain Carmel-by-the-Sea’s community be ancillary to the main business of selling bottles of character and natural beauty. wine at Vino Prima Wine Lounge for people to take with them.

‘Young Bob Dylan’ plays Sunset — Young jazz artists at Golden State

YOUNG SACRAMENTO folk and blues sensation Jackie Greene kicks off his tour in support of his fourth and latest CD, “Giving Up the Ghost,” Friday, March 28, at Sunset Center. Greene is no stranger to the Monterey Peninsula, having performed at the Monterey Bay Blues Festival and on the main stage of the Monterey Jazz Festival. Born in Salinas, he moved to the Sacramento area, where he was discovered in 2001 at an open-mic ses- sion. He released his first album, “Gone Wonderin’,” in 2002, an acoustic folk album that won the Plugged In California Music Award for Best Blues/Roots Album. His second By Stephen L. album, “Sweet Somewhere Bound,” Vagnini received major radio play and critical acclaim. Often compared to a young Bob Dylan, it is no surprise Greene has turned to rock ’n’ roll on his latest record. In 2007, he became a member of Phil Lesh and Friends, the Grateful Dead bassist’s ensemble dedicated to the interpretation of the Dead’s extensive song book. He performs at Sunset Center Friday at 8 p.m. and will be accompanied by a band that includes Mic Gillette of Tower of Power and saxophonist Sacramento phenom Jackie Greene, whose music has drawn raves from critics and audiences alike, plays Sunset Center See MUSIC next page Friday night.

Anybody for the ACLU?

EVERY GOVERNMENT official, upon taking office — whether elected, appointed or hired — should take an oath not to pick nits. We explored this issue in an editorial last year, after agents from California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control cited a Carmel gallery owner for serving champagne at an opening. Every law should be enforced in a way that benefits the public. That’s why there’s no legal justification for trivial enforce- ments. A police officer who started giving tickets for going 27 mph in a 25 mph zone would be laughed out of court. Why? Because nobody gets hurt when someone drives just a mile or two over the limit. That doesn’t mean you could- n’t find a “traffic activist” in Carmel or Pacific Grove who wouldn’t demand action against mini speeders on his street. But the government officials in charge of enforcing speed limits (police officers and judges) should — and would — ignore such complaints. But where land use issues are concerned, the activists often seem to rule the day, no matter how petty the complaints they bring. And that is what is happen- ing in Carmel Valley, where the owner of a 40-acre ranch has erected a simple wooden cross on top of a hill. When we first heard about complaints from the neighborhood about the cross, and that county officials had begun an enforcement action against its owner, Larry Scholink, because he built the cross without a permit, we figured it must really be in somebody’s face. So we headed out to Tierra Grande Road to take a look. With a basic idea where the cross was, we parked our car at several places with wide views of the land to the west. But with our naked eye, and even with binoculars, we could not “Right in the prime of life I was struck down with employment.” find it. Only when someone pointed out the hilltop in question could we discern it at all. And even then, the binoculars were required. Monastery waters.

IM LLEN RESENTS Tim Allen T A P presents Al Smith’s www.UniquePeninsulaHomes.com “Carmel Legends” CARMEL VALLEY • “A LIFESTYLE ALL ITS OWN” His real name is Howard, though probably only his mother knows that. Our first awareness of him came on an evening several years ago in the La Playa Bar. We were having a late toddy when suddenly a giant gorilla appeared in the doorway. Grunting menacingly, it danced across the floor and made its way down the bar embracing ladies who emitted delighted squeals. At length it removed its head to reveal BUD ALLEN, then owner of the La Playa – and he bought a round for everybody. Subsequently, we saw him as a fire chief, a seedy panhandler, a foreign prince, and a pumpkin peddler, all from his collection of nearly 200 costumes. His La Playa menu never changed: beef du jour, lamb du jour, pork, chicken, fish, coffee and ice cream du Combine a totally upgraded, single level post-adobe home and a spacious parcel of land on a quiet lane just minutes from Carmel Valley jour.

To build the 16-yurt resort along a particularly sensitive stretch of scenic Big Sur coastline, the Handys received permission from the California Coastal Commission in 2002.

YURTS From page 4 IYD

in November 2005. “Monterey County didn’t want a high-end development here, and we couldn’t afford one anyway,” Corrine Handy explained. “We stumbled upon the idea of yurts when we saw them in state parks in Oregon, and they seemed like a nice niche.”

Ancient dwellings go high-tech In 1978, Pacific Yurts of Cottage Cove, Ore., pioneered the modern adaptation of the ancient abode. During the past three decades, the popularity of yurts has steadily increased, no doubt influenced by the high cost of traditional building materials and the bureaucratic complexities of constructing traditional structures — especially in upscale, scenic areas, where the zoning regulations make new construction difficult. While the evolution of modern yurts was still in its infancy, the Handys discovered Big Sur. The couple married in 1983 and celebrated their union with a memorable drive down Highway 1.

‘Take a look at the whales ...’ When the resort first opened, guests could stay for just one night. Now, one-night stays are only available on weeknights during the off-season. “We found that one-night stays were defeating the essence of what we created,” she explained. “It really makes a difference when people come here and unplug for a day and a half. Stay awhile, take a look at the whales, watch the sunset and decompress.” John Handy likens the success of the resort to that of Apple’s iPod. “The iPod is a great way to play music,” he added. “It should have always been there. Our resort is the Big Sur experience we were always looking for. We wanted to create a lodging experience different from what anybody has ever built, and now we’ve created it.” The rates at the Treebones Resort range from $155 per night (for two) during the off season to $340 per night (for six people) during the peak season. For more information, call (877) 424-4787 or visit www.treebonesresort.com.
