Port WineBy Georgene Mortimer, Island Winery

A true port wine is a Portuguese fortified wineproduced exclusively in the Douro Valley ofnorthern Portugal. However, many port-stylewines are produced all over the world.

A traditionalist would argue that a port wineproduced outside of the Douro Valley just isnot a port, and they may be right. We here atIsland Winery appreciate that the terroir ofthe Douro Valley gives these wines a uniquedistinction, but we also know that, if madewell, grapes from other regions can produceexcellent ports as well.

A port is typically a sweet red wine that is forti-fied with brandy to bring the alcohol content upto around 20 percent (unfortified wines typicallyhave an alcohol content between 11 and 14percent). Port wines can either be barrel-agedor bottle-aged. Here’s a quick overview of themost popular styles of port:

Ruby Port – The least expensive and mostwidely produced style of port, this variety ismade in large stainless steel tanks and doesnot need to age for long periods of time.Known for its distinctive color, Ruby Port pairswell with chocolate and berry-based desserts.

Tawny Port – This variety is aged in oldwooden barrels, which allow the wine to beexposed to oxygen through the tiny pores ofthe wood without contributing much flavor.Newer oak barrels can overpower the mellownutty flavor typical of Tawny Ports. Aging also

allows the wine to develop its char-acteristic golden brown color. TawnyPorts pair well with cheeses and patesas well as with crème brulee anddark chocolate.

Vintage Port – Priced on the higher end,this type is made entirely of grapes grownduring one growing season. Especially in theDouro region of Portugal, producers will tastethe port after it has aged in the barrel forabout two years and decide if the grapesfrom that year have produced port wineworthy of standing on its own or if it needs to be blended with Ports of other vintages tocreate a strong flavor profile. Vintage Port isdelicious sipped on its own or while nibblingchocolate truffles.

In case you haven’t noticed, most port winespair well with chocolate! So here at IslandWinery we decided to blend the chocolateflavor right into the port. We started with abarrel-aged tawny-style port and added choco-late flavor. We also added a hint of orangeflavor to cut through the sweetness, creatingthe perfect dessert wine.

Sip this wine on its own or try pairing it withjust about any dessert. We love it with cheese-cake. However you choose to savor this tastyblend, you simply can’t go wrong!

The perfect bottle of wine awaits at IslandWinery on Cardinal Road. Store andtasting hours are Monday-Saturday from12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Wine Flights andCheese are available from 12:30 p.m. to2:30 p.m. A Wine & Cheese Happy Hour isoffered Monday-Thursday starting at 4 p.m.(843) 842-3141 or islandwinery.com.

The real estate market onHilton Head Island and thesurrounding Lowcountry isprimed for buyers to succeed.Whether you’re looking for aprimary residence, second homeor investment property, now maybe the perfect time to buy. This month, we’lllook at the opportunities available for buyersand how short sales and foreclosures com-pare to the average listing.

Why Hilton Head Island?Well, for one thing, just take a look aroundyou. Our 12 miles of sandy beaches, moderateclimate, abundant wildlife and in-harmony-with-nature architecture truly make Hilton HeadIsland a special place.

If your goal is to live an active lifestyle, HiltonHead Island provides many opportunities withmiles of walking and biking trails and numerousgolf courses and tennis courts. In addition, asother areas get more and more commercial-ized, the Island will always retain its naturalcharm due to regulations on development,signage and zoning put in place years ago.

Why Now?Have you ever thought, “if only I would havepurchased years ago…” now is your time toact. The Island’s inventory is abundant, priceshave adjusted back to the early 2000s andinterest rates are at or near historic lows.

We’re also experiencing a migration of BabyBoomers looking to retire to warmer climates.Before they arrive in droves, make sure to

reserve yourpiece of par-adise. Althoughmany peoplevisit the Islandduring peaksummer months,

the fall is when the serious buyers come backto purchase. Take advantage of today’s inven-tory selection by acting now.

Short Sales vs. ForeclosuresBoth short sales and foreclosures present anopportunity to purchase a property significant-ly under market value. The trick is getting youroffer accepted in a timely manner. This is whereforeclosure properties generally have the edgeover short sales. Unlike a short sale where youhave to get the seller to accept your offer andthen secure lender approval, a foreclosureputs you directly in contact with a decisionmaker.

Short sales and foreclosures are worth aserious look, but keep in mind that the bestopportunities may not be distressed proper-ties. Many times the best buys are the oneswhere sellers still have equity in the propertyand are willing to negotiate based on propertycondition, incentives and price. One thing isfor sure… with inventory being high, priceslow and mortgage rates competitive, there isno better time to buy!

Contact Carey North at Palmetto SandsRealty & Rentals at 843-384-6402 or visitCareyNorth.com to find the propertythat best suits your individual needs.

Why there’s nobetter time to buy than now.

DRIVING TIPS:• Slow Traffic (looking for a sign or site) KEEP TO

THE RIGHT.• Reduce gaps between moving vehicles, but

keep a safe distance. NO TAIL-GATING.• Use your turn signals – you are not saving

electricity.• Look for and use mile markers and

landmarks for reference.• Yield to cars in the traffic circles.

• Crossing a double solid white line in traffic circles is prohibited. THE LIFE YOU SAVE MAY BE YOUR OWN.

• Don’t “rubberneck” at the scene of an accident or at flashing lights. KEEP MOVING.

• Don’t change lanes quickly or block traffic.• Traffic tickets are expensive. SAVE $$ – DON’T

SPEED.

Horoscope October 2012

Aries Let someone close to you knowexactly how you feel about him or her. This

is particularly important if there is an adulation onyour part. Maybe things won’t work out – butthey certainly won’t as long as you keep quiet.Expect proper conduct out of your subordinatesand you will get it. A financial opportunity couldwither away if you hesitate too long.

Taurus A last-minute trip to far awayplaces could be just what the doctor or-

dered. Excitement and, very probably, romancecould well be the result – but only if you letthings move at their own pace. Now might be agood time to begin a serious savings plan. If youwait until all your debts are paid before you be-gin, you will probably never save anything – andyou’ll probably never be out of debt if you don’t.

Gemini A serious and quite disturbinglove affair could begin for you now if you

respond to the stimulus being waved before you.If you are free and unattached, it might well beworth riding the whirlwind – because that iswhat it is likely to be. If already committed, makesure that this is what you really want, because itwill probably cause a breaking of all old ties.

Cancer Getting to the bottom of a mysterymay not be as pleasant for you as you

think. Sometimes it is best to let sleeping dogslie. In dealing with fellow workers on an importantbusiness deal, don’t allow others to speak foryou, especially when the responsibility is yoursalone. Keeping commitments may be a chore,but failing to do so could damage your reputation.

Leo An upturn in your personal financesis definitely due and could come from a

surprising source. Your best bet is to be totallyhonest and to hide nothing from those whomay have a similar interest. If you lose, youwon’t have lost your honor – and if you win,you win really big and there will be no carpers.Exercise your right to be heard in matters thatare important to you personally.

Virgo You could gain an important andinfluential friend simply by speaking your

mind and not allowing others to run roughshodover you or someone close to you. Spend a littletime with a youngster or an old person who isclose to you, even if it means making some per-sonal sacrifices. Hours, not things, are importantto those who love you.

Libra Maintaining the status quo may notsolve your problems. You may be called

upon to exhibit some independent thinking andsome very positive action if you are to come out ontop. In romantic affairs, keep things light and don’tgo overboard with promises on the first date. Beextremely cautious when dealing with complicatedmachinery and don’t take unnecessary chances.

Scorpio Climb down from your highhorse and write that letter you have been

mentally composing for the last few months. Ifwhat you feel is real, you would be quite foolishto stand on ceremony. In office matters, makesure you keep your tongue from flapping concern-ing affairs that should remain private. A slip ofthe lip could sink more than a ship. It could sinkyour plans for the future.

Sagittarius Romance blossoms in thestrangest places, according to the poet,

and you could find this out to your utter amaze-ment – and delight. Business problems may seemless disturbing if you take time to walk around tothe other side so you can gain perspective. Thesame could be true for a personal matter thathas been plaguing you.

Capricorn Make sure that an old debt ispaid in full before you go to the well once

again. You might also do some serious thinkingabout your real desires and what it is you want todo with your life. If what you are presently doingis not making you happy – or at least contented –then why are you doing it? Take the advice of afriend seriously and give it a chance to work.

Aquarius Estimate your personal worth,as well as financial, and see if you are able

to make things balance. If you are found wanting,do something about becoming solvent once again.You would be well advised to seek medical adviceabout a serious problem. Office politics are defi-nitely not your game and you should avoid playingsuch a game. Instead, select the most honest ofyour companions and back him to the hilt.

Pisces Problems of a financial nature arenot as insurmountable as they seem. Seek

good advice and then weigh it carefully beforestriking out on your own. Do not allow others toinfluence your convictions on moral issues, simplybecause it would make things neater and easier.On any tough question, the thing that is hardestto do is generally the thing you should do.

The fluorescent orange cork landed with a splashon the edge of the green spartina grass andpromptly disappeared.

With a few turns on the Penn Battle spinningreel, Bo had the slack out of the line and theLegion rod bent against the surge of the fish.The reel’s drag purred as the fish took about20 yards of line upstream and then came tothe surface, boiling the water in protest beforetaking off for another run, this time headingfor deep water.

“It’s a man,” I remarked to Bo.

In reality, it was a large speckled trout, aroundfour pounds. As it typically goes with fish, thebigger ones are usually female. This one wasfull of roe, which some consider to be evenbetter eating than the fish itself.

Speckled trout are one of the most prizedgamefish here in the Lowcountry. Defined bytheir silver iridescence with signature spots, theirstreamlined beauty is reminiscent of the fresh-water trout family.

Armed with a pair of fangs at the top of theirmouth and the aggressiveness of a barracuda,

there is, in fact, nothing delicateabout the bone jarring strike ofthe trout or the determined battlethat occurs after hook up. Theone thing that is delicate about thisfish – other than the tasty meat –is the mouth, so a light drag ismandatory.

Thanks to a blessing resultingfrom a mild winter, this year the trout have been plentiful in

Lowcountry waters. The cooler temperaturesof October hold promise of a great seasoncatching speckled trout. While some preferto fish live bait under corks, trout are oftencaught on many types of artificial lures. Onethat I have added to my arsenal is the “TroutTrick,” a soft plastic bait invented by the sea-soned Capt. Bob Sanders, who fishes out ofEdisto.

Bo and his party caught many more trout thatday, four of which had “gator” status beingfour pounds or better. By now, the numerous“peanuts” caught earlier this summer will havebeen stuffing themselves on the plentiful shrimpand have gained significant weight. Clear,cooler water and the great fall weather addup for some great October fishing forspeckled trout.

See you out on the water!

Shrimp are one of SouthCarolina’s most valuable andpopular harvested seafoods. Infact, shrimping is an industry thatbrings the Palmetto State morethan $30 million a year.

The summer and fall offer primeopportunities to enjoy two majorspecies for harvest: the whiteshrimp and the brown shrimp,both of which are found in ourwaters. Brown shrimp, farfantepe-naeus aztecus, and white shrimp,litopenaeus setiferus, are easilydistinguishable by the coloration,which inspired their names.

Although they are similar organ-isms, white shrimp and brownshrimp have differences inspawning and growth methods.Shrimping season officially beginsin May in South Carolina withthe harvesting of brown shrimpand white shrimp roe. The seasoncontinues through December, aswhite shrimp are more commonlyharvested in the colder months.

A shrimp’s life begins duringspawning near area beachesand up to four miles off shore.A female shrimp may producebetween 500,000 to 1,000,000eggs and may spawn severaltimes in a season. Less than 2%of these eggs will survive toadulthood due to predation.

Carolina Shrimp

Learn more about the fascinating whiteshrimp and brown shrimp that mature in the waters around Hilton Head Island.

Brown shrimp spawn in the fall, in October to Novemberjust after molting, while white shrimp spawn in the spring.Both shrimp will go through 11 different larval stages over aperiod of two weeks. Generally, brown shrimp will stay inthe ocean bottoms through the winter and then catch tidalcurrents into brackish estuary systems late February and March.White shrimp will move into the estuaries two weeks afterspawning in May and June. Shrimp will stay in the tidal creeksfor up to three months as they mature.

Young shrimp move with the high tide into the marshgrasses to forage for food and evade predators. Shrimpare generally omnivorous bottom feeders, eating anythingthey can scavenge. Shrimp become more predatory as theyincrease in size, feeding on small aquatic animals. Theygrow quickly in their marsh nursery and molt their skin asthey become larger. Most shrimp spend their early life inbrackish water, moving into open saltwater once they havereached about four inches long. The oldest shrimp reportedin South Carolina was 14 months old. However, most shrimpwill not live past nine months old.

Shrimp have three major modes of transportation. When at rest orfeeding they will use their walking legs to move short distances.When migrating long distances the shrimp have swimminglegs called pleopods. These legs can help them to swim upto five miles a day. As a defense mechanism shrimp areable to contract their strong abdominal muscles in a tail flex.This motion propels them backwards to evade predators.

The migration of shrimp from their marsh nurseries to theopen water is affected my many circumstances. The temper-ature of the water and whether a season has been dry orrainy are major factors. The number of other young shrimpin the area will also affect their migration patterns.

Shrimping has been a large part of South Carolina historysince the early 1900s. Today, farmed, imported shrimp costless than our local product. These changes lowered the rev-enue of one our state’s largest incomes. In a sense, theseactions saved our shrimp, since they prevented overfishing.As a result, locals and visitors alike are able to enjoy ourown land’s rich bounty.

The H2O Nature Center, which features live reptile andamphibian exhibits and hands-on displays, focuses onthe wildlife and habitats of the South Carolina Lowcountry.Nature tours, apparel, gifts, books and bicycle/fishinggear rentals are also available.

Beyond Jaws

With some hesitation, I’ve chosen sharks as atopic for this month’s article. In my experience,many folks are leery to hear that sharks do,in fact, swim in our local waters. No worries,sharks are amazing and, if you know a bit aboutthem, that knowledge may allay your fears.

In Broad Creek, as well as the small creeksthat wind through our little neck of the woods,it’s not unusual to see immature sharks forag-ing for small fish and crustaceans along thewaters’ edge. Like all other salt marsh animals,sharks are here for food and protection. Mostoften about a foot or two in length, baby sharks(or pups) tend to be beige or brown in color.

Both their dorsal fin and tail are oriented per-pendicular to the surface of the water, and theytend to swim in a zig-zag pattern. Notice thecommotion they create in small, prey-fillededdies. Sometimes sharks are confused withdolphins, which are much larger and darkergrey in appearance. Additionally, the dorsalfin of a dolphin appears perpendicular, butthe tail is always horizontal with the water’ssurface. Dolphins characteristically swim in astraighter line than sharks and take intermit-tent dives beneath the surface of the water. And,of course, dolphins are mammals, while sharksare fish.

Fish can be divided into two main categories:bony fish and cartilaginous fish. Sharks belongto the latter category. The cartilage that com-prises a shark’s skeleton is the same stuff found

around our bones, in our inner ear andin our nose. Even the skull of the sharkis made up entirely of cartilage.

Although they’re related to all other fish,sharks have some fascinating and dis-tinctive differences. Did you know thatsharks have eyelids? Bony fish don’t.Some species, like the Great White Shark,can actually roll their eyes back into thesocket for protection!

However, in my opinion, the most amazingaspect of the shark is its skin. I’ve had thepleasure of catching and releasing small blacktips and bonnet heads and love running myhand along their body. From head to tail theskin is smooth and firm. But reverse directionand it feels like sandpaper. A similar sensationoccurs when you do the same with a bonyfish, but the roughness felt with the bony fishis a result of the scales that cover its body.

Instead of scales, shark skin is comprised of“dermal denticles.” This highly specializedskin allows sharks to be amazingly efficientswimmers. To me, a single denticle, whenviewed through a high-powered microscope,looks like the underside of a finely craftedspeedboat. In fact, I’ve learned that boatmanufacturers study the features of shark den-ticles to improve hull design.

Nature is an amazing thing. Now that you knowa few cool things about sharks, look for themin our area waters. Get Outside and discoverfor yourself!

Mastering OppositesBy Doug Weaver, Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort

Golf truly is a game of opposites. The harderyou try, the worse you perform on the course.

In order to improve your golf swing, it’simportant to get back to basics and correctfundamental problems. Many golfers usetheir arms to power their swing, which cansabotage their technique. One way to keepyour arms in proper position and to preventyour arms from overperforming is to put arolled-up towel under your underarm duringa training session.

Keep your elbow in just enough to hold thetowel in place. If the towel falls to the ground,you’ve moved your elbow too far away fromyour body. This might feel awkward at first, butit will keep your elbow from popping out andwill help you develop a strong, effective swing.

Golf often boils down to basic physics involv-ing force, mass and motion. However, onething is certain: by controlling the distancethe ball travels, you’ll be able to lower youroverall score and improve your golf game.

For smaller shots, grip the club down low, putyour weight on your left foot and use a modestbackswing. For bigger shots, be sure to gripthe club up high, widen your stance, use along back swing and transfer your weight intothe shot for more power.

There are plenty of train-ing aids available to helpyou get a better feel forthe weight of the club andto improve your swing.Specialized, heavy-weight-ed practice clubs help youappreciate the weight ofthe club. The extra weightteaches you to get more intouch with the club headand to allow the physics ofthe swing to power the ball,not your arms.

Remember, golf isn’t about building your upperarm strength or developing your muscle mass.It’s about allowing your body to stay relaxedand allowing the club to do its job. Respect theweight of the club, keep your body loose andkeep your elbows close to your body. Whenyou complete your swing, the club should beparallel to your shoulders. If you follow thesebasic guidelines, the end result will be astronger, straighter swing, time after time.

Make October the month to refine your swingand have fun on the green. With cooler tem-peratures and plenty of sunshine, this is anideal month to get out on the course and toexperience the best of Lowcountry golf.

Play a round or two (or more) on Hilton HeadIsland, a true golf mecca for players fromacross the country and around the world.Whether you’re an aspiring junior golfer oran experienced veteran, I hope you enjoyevery moment on the green this month. I’llsee you out on the course!
