Understanding Wine RatingsBy Georgene Mortimer, Island Winery

How important are wine scores?

When shopping for wine, you will very oftensee little signs underneath the bottles ondisplay with numerical wine scores.

Although there are several scoring systems inuse, the most common is the one developedby renowned wine critic Robert Parker, whichrates wines on a scale of 5 0 to 10 0 . A winescore is the q uickest, simplest way for a winecritic to communicate an opinion about theq uality of a wine. Not only are these scoresdisplayed prominently in wine shops, they’realso widely publicized in newspapers, maga-zines and wine guides. They are meant to guideconsumers when purchasing wines. However,these scores have such a strong influence onwine buyers, they have the power to make orbreak a brand.

How important are those scores? I believe ifyou’re a serious wine collector or investor, winescores matter. Investors need to know if thewine they’re buying will have a good potentialreturn on investment. Wine collectors, who tendto age wines for a long time, need to know howthat wine will taste in five or 10 years. B ut ifyou are just looking for an enjoyable wine topair with your weekend dinner, wine scoresdon’t matter as much.

O ne must keep in mind that wine critics are,like all people, prone to bias. Although theyare experts and adhere to objective scoringguidelines, their scores really do reflect asubjective opinion, just like movie critics andfood critics. Wine critics are not supposed toallow their personal preference to color theirscore. However, many wine experts who speak

honestly will admit that their preferences doindeed determine their scoring.

It’s also important to understand how thesetastings are conducted and what the scores aredesigned to represent. Typically, a wine tastingsession will consist of many wines – sometimesas many as 10 0 in one sitting. In order to getthrough all of these vintages, the critics musttake very small sips and spit out the wine. B asedon a q uick sample, a taster must predict howthat wine will age, how it will taste with food asit evolves and how it will change with exposureto air. That’s a lot of guesswork, consideringthe short time spent with each wine. Also, keepin mind that the previously tasted wine canaffect the taste of the following wine sample.

So, if you are neither an investor nor a collec-tor, wine ratings can be a great starting pointfor wine lovers on a q uest to branch out andto explore new varietals and regions. Sincewine scores are straightforward and avoidjargon, they allow wine lovers to select a “ solid”example of a vintage representing the new areayou’re exploring.

O nce you have found a good entry point intoa new varietal or region, you should trust yourown judgment and preferences to completeyour journey. Trust your palate and yourpreferences.

Stop by Island Winery for a great selection ofwines. O ur friendly and knowledgeable staff willbe glad to offer suggestions to help expandyour horizons.

Visit the King Neptune Statue atShelter Cove Harbour

The towering 12-foot bronze statue ofNeptune, which doubles as a larger-than-life sundial, serves as an iconic symbol of Shelter Cove Harbour at PalmettoDunes, welcoming visitors to the entrance ofthe popular waterfront dining and shoppinglocation.

Designed and installed by sculptor WayneEdwards, this much-loved statue serves as atribute to Neptune, the Roman god of thesea. The King Neptune statue, which depictsa bearded Neptune holding his signaturetrident, serves as a popular centerpiece atShelter Cove Harbour. The statue isstrategically mounted on a circular base withnumbers around the edge.

When the trident’s shadow falls across the26-foot wide base, the numbers indicate theprecise time. Hailed as the world’s largestfigurative sundial, the statue was originallycast at a foundry in Princeton, New Jerseyand shipped by truck to Hilton Head Island in

1983. Engineers made meticulous measure-ments before the one-ton statue wasinstalled, ensuring that it would be located atthe ideal angle to indicate the time.

Engineers oriented the sculpture towards truesouth by aligning the constellation UrsaMajor with the North Star.

An official dedication for the statue was heldat Shelter Cove Harbour on August 11,1983, attracting residents and visitors alike.Today, the King Neptune statue delights gen-erations of visitors to Shelter Cove Harbour,impressing adults and children of all ages.Stop by to see King Neptune in person andto experience a true Hilton Head Island icon.

Nicknamed “ F raser’s F olly,“ Charles F raser,the visionary developer of The Sea Pines Resort,believed a distinctive landmark, along with aprofessional golf tournament, would arouseinterest in the fledgling seaside community.

As usual, F raser was right, and today thecandy-striped, hexagonal structure has becomesynonymous with Hilton Head Island.

Rising 93 feet above the Calibogue Soundand framing the 18th hole of the Harbour TownG olf Links, golfers use the red-and-whitestriped lighthouse as a guide off the tee. Thebackdrop for one of golf’s most picturesq uefinishing holes, # 18 was once part of the $ 1 million Kodak Challenge, a celebrationof “ the beautiful holes and memorablemoments in golf.”

Panoramic views of the Harbour TownY acht B asin and G olf Links, the LibertyO ak, the Calibogue Sound and DaufuskieIsland, are just one reason to climb the114 stairs to the top of the lighthouse.

Along the way, the Harbour TownLighthouse Museum offers a self-guided“ climb through time” with displays andartifacts showcasing various stages ofHilton Head history.

O ffering a uniq ue, “ elevated” shoppingexperience, The Top of the Lighthouse Shopfeatures over 2,0 0 0 items, including CrystalWorld fine crystal lighthouse figurines, HarbourLights collectibles, Christmas ornaments,Annaleece high q uality fashion jewelry,Trollbeads and local art and photography.

The Importance of SALT MARSHESCourtesy of the Coastal Discovery Museum

Although mucky and smelly, the salt marsh is an important part ofthe Lowcountry.

In actuality, the salt marsh produces more food for the environmentthan rain forests. The green grass that dominates the marsh is calledsalt marsh cord grass or Spartina. When this cord grass dies eachwinter and decomposes, its nutrients are released into the marshmud, creeks, streams and even into the ocean. These nutrientsbegin the food chain for the entire Southeastern coastal area.

So, the next time you enjoy a meal of shrimp, mussels, oysters, bluecrab, stone crab or saltwater fish, thank the muddy salt marshes.

“ I sure would like to catch abarracuda! ” my son, Caleb,exclaimed, somewhat wistfully.

We were fishing at the tire reeflocated 15 miles offshore and hadseen several barracuda swim by theboat. After making his declaration,Caleb went to the bow of the boatand stretched out on the starboard-side cushion to get a little rest.

I unhooked a black sea bass just shyof the 13-inch minimum and releasedhim overboard. Seconds later, fromthe other side of the stern, a barracu-da launched some 10 feet in the air,soaring over the t-top and landingon the port cushion in the bow.

The long, silver barracuda floppedand bounced, spitting the ill-fated seabass out on the deck. Then, luckily,it went back over the port side.

After all the ruckus, Caleb lifted hishead off the starboard cushion andasked, “ What was that? ” We allstarted laughing as I told him, “ Y ourchance to catch a barracuda! He

just jumped in the boat and landed right next to you! ”

Many times I’ve had barracuda almost jump in the boatwhile hooked up, but I’ve never seen one free jump inthe boat.

Armed with a mouth full of canine like teeth and shapedlike a silver torpedo, barracuda are found in our offshorewaters year-round. Come summer, with the warmer watersinshore, they invade the nearby reefs in large numbers.Hovering almost motionless like a log, they can acceleratein the blink of an eye to decimate a hapless prey.

B arracuda are also known for their aerial acrobaticswhen hooked, as Jennifer G entzel, the lovely lady inthe photo, can attest. Her fish put up a strong spiritedbattle for about 15 minutes before being boated. Itwas released unharmed, she was proud to say, whentelling me about it.

It’s not recommended to eat barracuda, as they can carrythe ciguatera toxin from their heavy diet of reef fish. I onceate some barracuda in the B ahamas ( even though I didn’trealize it at the time) , and it truly was delicious. However,even if they didn’t carry a dangerous toxin, I would havenever sampled barracuda intentionally because this isone fish that smells horrible right out of the water.

O ne thing is for sure: the barracuda is one impressive-looking fish and a blast on a rod and reel. That is, unlessyou’re eyeball to eyeball with one in the water. B ut that’sanother story…

Summer nights on Hilton Head Islandare full of wonderful noises!

The most common sounds are green tree frogssinging beautiful nocturnal choruses. Theseamphibians are a common sight in our humidenvironment. They can be found at night, closeto porch lights, looking for an evening meal.

American G reen Tree F rogs, known as Hylacinerea, range from one to two inches long, andare usually green with a white or yellow iridescentstrip along the side of their body. They have longlimbs, with graceful digits and sticky toe pads thatenable them to cling to various surfaces. Theirlong legs allow them to jump great distances ondry land and to swim efficiently in water.

These tree frogs are mostly found in coastal plainsfrom Virginia down to F lorida and as far west asTexas. Their populations are continuing to growin Piedmont areas, as they’re being introducedthrough commercial plant and pine straw distri-bution. These nocturnal arboreal creatures spendthe majority of their adult life in trees.

G reen tree frogs are cold-blooded amphibians,which means they’re more active in our warmweather months. During the winter, green treefrogs will go into dormancy in the ground or incavities in trees or other plants.

At their earliest stage, as tadpoles, tree frogs havegills. As they metamorphose, they develop lungs.Due to a mucus-like membrane covering theirentire bodies, green tree frogs are able to absorboxygen through their skin. These versatile creaturescan absorb oxygen through water as they swimin freshwater ponds or puddles. Even on land, a

tree frog is able to absorb 5 0 percent of itsoxygen through its skin, while obtaining the restthrough the lungs.

B reeding takes place from April to O ctober.Males will belt out songs to attract females andto establish their territory. B reeding females havebeen known to lay 4 0 0 eggs each summer. Theeggs are typically deposited among floating veg-etation. The young hatch as tadpoles about fivedays after the eggs are laid. O ver a period ofabout two months, the tadpole begins to growlegs and lungs as well as lose their tail. Threemonths after hatching, they will be fully devel-oped frogs.

Tree frogs play an important role in the ecologyof the South Carolina Lowcountry. They helphumans by eating pesky insects that would other-wise eat farmer’s crops or bite humans. They arealso important indicators of our environmentalconditions. They are naturally sensitive to pollu-tants in their environment and begin to die off ifthere are too many contaminants.

Currently, green tree frogs have dense popula-tions throughout the Southeast coastal plains.However, pollution and destruction of habitat inour future will play a very important role in theiroverall survival.

The H2O Nature Center is a great place tospark curiosity and inspire learning in allages, offering eco-adventure tours and livealligator exhibits. To make reservations forthe Alligator and Wildlife Tour, please call(843) 686-5323. For information about otherwater activities offered by H2O Sports, visitH2OSports.com.

The Bridges To Hilton Head Island

Every July, Hilton Head Island welcomes backfamilies of visitors who have been traveling tothe area each summer for generations.

While driving onto the island this summer, thesevisitors will notice bridge construction of theB luffton Parkway Connector. Some of them mayeven remember earlier bridges to Hilton HeadIsland, each with its own uniq ue characteristics.

Prior to 195 6, the only way to get to the Island wasby boat. Native Americans who inhabited this arearelied on dugout canoes to navigate the creeksand inlets of the salt marsh. Antebellum planta-tions used ships, barges and ferries to transporttheir crops for sale. Civil War battles were foughtbetween approaching war vessels and beachfrontforts. Timber speculators arrived by boat andtoured the island. In 194 9, a group of such spec-ulators purchased more than half of the island, andso began the modern era of Hilton Head Island.

In 195 3, three years after electricity was boughtto the island, the first car ferry was established bythe state of South Carolina. The ferry transportedthe island’s roughly 30 0 residents, most of whomworked at the three lumber mills on the island.This ferry facilitated the construction of the firstmotel, the Sea Crest, and the first shopping center,Coligny Plaza, in 195 5 .

The following year, 195 6, saw the developmentboom that pushed Hilton Head Island into moder-nity, all made possible by the opening of the firstbridge. The James F . B yrnes B ridge could swingopen to allow tall ships through the Skull Creek.The swing bridge finally made Hilton Head Islandwidely accessible to visitors and travelers.

Soon after the B yrnes B ridge opened, the Hilton HeadIsland Chamber of Commerce was established,Charles F raser began developing Sea Pines and thefirst supermarket opened. In its first year of opera-tion, the B yrnes B ridge was crossed 4 8,0 0 0 times.

The B yrnes B ridge was crucial to the rapiddevelopment of Hilton Head Island overthe next 18 years. Telephone and postalservice came to the island, property wassold and golf courses were built. The IslandPacket began publishing, the Heritage G olfTournament debuted and additional plan-tations opened to accommodate the island’sgrowing year-round population.

However, a barge struck the B yrnes B ridgein 197 4 , which closed the structure for six

weeks ( during which time Island residents used apontoon bridge constructed by the Army Corpsof Engineers) . In 1982, the B yrnes B ridge wasreplaced with the four-lane bridge we use today.As in the past, this increased accessibility broughtnew growth and development. The year the CharlesF raser B ridge opened, more than 5 0 0 ,0 0 0 visitorstravelled to Hilton Head Island and the year-roundpopulation exceeded 12,5 0 0 .

The following year, the Town of Hilton Head wasestablished and began buying land and devel-oping public parks, trails and pathways. B y 1991,the rapid development became a concern and theTown established a G rowth Management Task F orce.

Traffic became a major issue in the early ‘ 90 s,especially with regard to evacuating residents andvisitors safely in the event of a hurricane. Theanswer came in the form of the Cross IslandParkway, which traverses the B road Creek anddiverts traffic headed to the south end of theIsland. O pened in 1997 , the Cross IslandParkway cost more than $ 81 million to build.

The history of Hilton Head Island developmentis directly correlated to its accessibility. Each ofthe bridges that have connected the island to themainland has ushered in a new era and facilitatedthe development of the island we know and lovetoday.

Learn how to control distance on all-important pitch shots.

PitchPerfectBy Doug Weaver, PalmettoDunes Oceanfront Resort

One of the most freq uent q uestionsgolfers ask me is how to control distanceon pitch shots. Fortunately, the answer tothat q uestion is relatively simple.

There are four fundamental factors thatdetermine distance on pitch shots:

The length of the club. The longer the club,the further the ball goes, plain and simple.Use a longer club for long shots and ashorter club for short shots.

G rip position. If you grip high on the club,you have a longer lever, which will providea bigger swing. If you grip low on the club,you have a shorter lever, which results in asmaller swing.

Weight transfer. O n small pitches, you cankeep your weight steady on your left foot,since you won’t need to fuel your swing withtoo much power. O n big pitches, transferyour body weight into your shot, movingyour weight from one foot to the other. Thatwill give your shot more force.

B ack swing. Remember that the golf clubworks just like a pendulum. When you needmore power, you have to add a longer backswing. When you need less force, you canuse a shorter back swing.

So, for smaller shots, grip the club downlow, put your weight on your left foot anduse a modest backswing. F or bigger shots,be sure to grip the club up high, widen your stance, use a long back swing and transfer

your weight into the shot for more power.

G olf often boils down to basic physicsinvolving force, mass and motion. However,one thing is certain; by controlling the distancethe ball travels, you’ll be able to lower youroverall score and improve your golf game.

Try a q uick pitching drill this month. Layyour golf bag on the ground four feet infront of the ball and pitch over it, making adivot. Experiment with different club lengths,grip positions, weight transfers and backswings. B e sure to keep your body relaxedand your mind focused on the goal at handas you follow through on each swing.

As the temperature heats up this month onHilton Head Island, make sure you keepyour cool on the golf course. Stay hydrated,apply plenty of high-SPF sunscreen andwear a hat to shield your head from SouthCarolina’s hot summer sun.

Above all, use this month to refine yourswing and have fun on the green. Play around or two on Hilton Head Island, one ofthe world’s best places to play golf. I’ll seeyou out on the course!
