Palomino is a coat color in horses, consisting of a gold coat and white mane and tail. Genetically, the palomino color is created by a single allele of a dilution gene called the cream gene working on a "red" (chestnut) base coat. Palomino is created by a genetic mechanism of incomplete dominance, hence it is not considered true-breeding. However, most color breed registries that record palomino horses were founded before equine coat color genetics were understood as well as they are today, therefore the standard definition of a palomino is based on the visible coat color, not heritability nor the underlying presence of the dilution gene.
Due to their distinct color, palominos stand out in a show ring, and are much sought after as parade horses. They were particularly popular in movies and television during the 1940s and 1950s. One of the most famous palomino horses was Trigger, known as "the smartest horse in movies", the faithful mount of the Hollywood cowboy star Roy Rogers. Another famous palomino was Mr. Ed (real name Bamboo Harvester) who starred on his own TV show in the 1960s.
Palomino is a white grape widely grown in Spain and South Africa, and best known for its use in the manufacture of sherry.
Wine regions
In Spain, the grape is split into the sub-varieties Palomino Fino, Palomino Basto, and Palomino de Jerez, of which Palomino Fino is by far the most important, being the principal grape used in the manufacture of sherry. The wine formed by fermentation of the grape is low in both acidity and sugar which, whilst suitable for sherry, ensures that any table wine made from it is of a consistently low quality, unless aided by acidification.
In France, it is referred to as Listán, and in South Africa as Fransdruif or White French. It is also found in Australia and California where it is also used mainly to produce fortified wines. The grape was once thought to be the Golden Chasselas, a grape grown in California. The wine-must has tendency to oxidise quickly, a characteristic that can be ignored when used for sherry production.
DNA research
In December 2006 Spanish researchers, using DNA techniques, discovered that the Mission grape of California and Latin America, cultivated by the Jesuit and Franciscan missionaries throughout the New World, is in fact the now rare Listán Prieto or Palomino Negro of Spain.
Palomino is the fifth album by the Duluth, Minnesota based band Trampled by Turtles. It was released on April 13, 2010, through their record label, Banjodad Records. The album reached #1 on the US Billboard bluegrass chart, and maintained a Top 10 position there for 52 consecutive weeks.
All songs on Palomino were written by Dave Simonett, except for “New Son/Burnt Iron”, which was written by Erik Berry, and “Sounds Like a Movie”, which was written by Dave Carroll.
Music videos have been created for the first two tracks, "Wait So Long" and "Victory".
She lays on the wall, watching the strangers drift away Mid-day's ore thick with the Sun of Arabia She surrenders her voices, they gather on the wind Talking, chanting, breathing into her body, yesterdays Awakened beside the scent of burnt sugar on her skin Painting eyes, thick with the color she brings in Oh, and sure and strong when the lightning tumbles down Don't you frown, everything will be in time for this evening If there's secrets, she has to be party to every one of them If there's heaven, she gets to the heart and you'll wonder Why she says, when I run out of blue Help me rise instead, now I can run to you Why she says, when I run out of blue Give me rain instead, now let me run If there's secrets, she has to be party to every one of them If there's heaven, she gets to the heart and you'll know just Why she says, when I run out of blue Help me rise instead, now I can run to you Why she says, when I run out of blue Give me rain instead, now let me run Hey, hey Why she says, when I run out of blue Help me rise instead, now I can run to you Why she says, when I run out of blue Give me rain instead, now I can run to you Why she says, when I run out of blue
