editor’s note 

Two years ago, I purchased a 32-page, locally printed “brewery passport” 

and it hasn’t left my purse since. Started by Sacramento Beer Frontier, it 

allows holders to collect custom stamps at each of our region’s 65 (and 

counting) breweries, in addition to fun swag like a pint glass, bottle 

opener, and—when your journey’s complete—a tailor-made map of your 

sip excursion. 

As a (selfproclaimed) 

craft beer buff, 

it’s not only forced my husband and me 

to explore more breweries and styles of 

suds being crafted here but taken us to 

towns we’d typically zoom right past. 

When weekends allow, we’ll tie in a 

tasting with another fun activity—from 

a hike in Auburn followed by stamps 

at Crooked Lane, Moonraker, and Knee 

Deep; to kayaking on Lake Natoma 

with post-paddle pints at Fort Rock and 

Claimstake. And though we’re getting 

close to completing our adventure, it 

seems like new establishments are 

opening every weekend. 

Whether you, like me, have an affinity 

for ales or you go gaga for grapes, let this 

issue be a cheerful reminder of how 

amazing our area is for all the above. 

Starting on page 47, contributor Luna Anona presents “Your Guide to the Region’s Best Beer and 

Wine,” featuring a roundup of new (and soon-to-open) tasting rooms along with some of the 

original places that first put us on the map, trends to take note of, labels we love, fun facts you 

probably don’t know, and much more. It’s proof that you don’t need to go to Napa for a weekend 

of wine tasting or down to San Diego to sample award-winning IPAs. Everything you’re thirsty for, 

minus the stuffy surrounds, is just a hop, skip, and a jump away. 

“Beer, if drunk 

in moderation, 

softens the 

temper, cheers 

the spirit, and 

promotes 

health.” 

—Thomas 

Jefferson 

Alcohol aside, this month also marks the start of back to 

school. To that end, we have 10 safety tips for keeping kiddos safe 

(page 20), courtesy of Amitis Pourarian, owner of THE STUDIO 

Martial Arts and Fitness, and a special addition to our Swag 

section highlighting must-have products to survive the school 

year in style (page 44). And for those extra busy evenings you’re 

too tuckered out to cook a family-friendly meal? Fret not. Flip to 

page 70 for our favorite kids’ menus, featuring dishes so delectable 

you might be asking your server if adults can order it too. 

As always, we packed many more buzzworthy articles in 

the pages that follow, so pour yourself something to sip on and 

remember to read responsibly. Cheers!

What’s the last 

interesting book 

you read? 

“Does the Noise in My Head Bother 

You?: A Rock ‘n’ Roll Memoir 

by Steven Tyler. I’ve always 

been fascinated with the 

emotional ups and downs of 

rock stars and entertainment 

professionals and love hearing 

it from the source—raw and 

unfiltered.” 

—Gary Zsigo 

“Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson. 

Sanderson, in my humble opinion, 

is one of the best fantasy novel 

writers since Tolkien, and I 

would highly recommend his 

books to anyone looking for 

fantastical worlds crafted to 

perfection and brought to life 

with dynamic and interesting 

characters.”—Raymond Burgess 

“Killers of the Flower Moon: The 

Osage Murders and the Birth 

of the FBI by David Grann. It 

reads like a novel but is the 

true story of a not-so-shining 

moment of America’s past 

that most people don’t know 

about.”—Debra Linn 

“Miss Peregrine’s Home for 

Peculiar Children. The author 

of the series, Ransom Riggs, 

goes to flea markets, collects 

old photographs of random 

people, and then makes 

a story out of them. How 

creative is that?!” 

—Annie Biederman 

“I just read Put Your Game 

Together: Ethical Management 

in Youth Sports and Business 

by my close friend Donnie 

Howell. It’s a great read for 

parents of children playing 

sports about how ethical 

practices in business and life 

correlate to youth sports.”

What are some secrets to baking 

moist cupcakes? 

One factor that contributes to a cupcake’s dryness is how much the 

batter is mixed. If you mix it too long, the consistency changes and 

will cause the finished product to become dry and dense. When 

mixing the dry and wet ingredients, you want to mix the batter 

until all the ingredients are just incorporated and no further, even 

though it can be tempting. Also, a lot of people think cupcakes need 

to be refrigerated, but that’s a myth, as it’ll cause the cake to dry 

out and become dense. 

Sammy Schnetz, Marketing Director // Icing on the Cupcake // 2379 Iron Point 

Road, Suite 110, Folsom // 916-303-4333, icingonthecupcake.com 

How often should you get 

microdermabrasion? 

Microdermabrasion can be beneficial every one to six months, 

depending on your skin’s needs, but most patients would benefit 

from two to four treatments a year. Those with acne, oily skin, scars, 

Top photo ©wealthy_b - stock.adobe.com. Bottom photo ©BillionPhotos.com - stock.adobe.com. 

or dull, thickened surface layers of skin would benefit from more 

frequent (monthly) microdermabrasion. Medical aestheticians— 

those who work with a doctor practicing in one of the aesthetics 

categories—can also add a peel to the process to improve the 

impact. The combination of microdermabrasion and a gentle 

peel allows a much greater change in skin and more effective 

penetration of topical products. Lastly, microdermabrasion should 

be combined with daily exfoliation at home.

CHEERS TO BEERS 

Though the Sacramento region has a bevy 

of craft breweries, in honor of International 

Beer Day on August 5, we decided to find 

sip-worthy suds from other cities. Head to 

the web to read about “5 Buzzworthy Brews 

from Around the World”—including a 

single fermented Belgian golden ale from 

Duvel in Puurs, Belgium, and an arctic pale 

ale from Einstök Beer in Akureyri, Iceland.

Folsom resident Brian Wallace 

published a non-fiction children’s 

book based on a dozen ducklings 

who hatched in his backyard. He and 

his family had no idea that the duck 

they kept seeing near the pool would 

soon give birth. The whole tale made 

for a great children’s book, so Wallace 

published Daisy and the Dirty Dozen 

with Newport Press to detail the 

story. Pick up your copy at amazon.

Q &A 

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO YOUR 

YOUNGER SELF? 

Believe in yourself. 

WHAT COMES TO YOU NATURALLY? 

I can talk to just about anyone. 

Shadrack 

Biwott 

WHAT’S YOUR BIGGEST PET PEEVE? 

Being late. 

BIGGEST LIFE INSPIRATIONS? 

My children. I want to show them that 

if you believe in yourself, the sky’s the 

limit. Also, my wife—she’s my backbone 

and a constant support. 

WHAT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF? 

Other than my family, finishing the 2018 

Boston Marathon despite the weather. 

BEST WORDS OF WISDOM YOU’VE 

RECEIVED? 

Hard work supersedes talent. 

For Folsom resident Shadrack 

Biwott, third-place finisher at 

this year’s Boston Marathon, 

it all started with a pair of 

sneakers. Born in a small 

Kenyan village, for the first 14 years of his life, 

he didn’t own shoes. But his older brothers 

were competitive runners, and Biwott 

quickly realized that running could be a way 

to gain access to an education, something he 

wanted more than anything else. For that 

to happen, however, he’d need shoes. “My 

brothers said, ‘If we give you shoes, you have 

to promise you’ll run with them,’” Biwott 

recalls. And he did, despite quickly learning 

that long-distance running was far from 

easy. For his first run, his brothers took him 

on a 10-mile gauntlet around the village. “It 

was torture,” he says with a laugh. “I ended 

up crying the whole way home.” 

But Biwott never gave up. After legally 

immigrating to the U.S., he earned an 

athletic scholarship to the University of 

Oregon. Post-graduation, he went pro and 

currently runs in a variety of half and full 

marathons each year. He continues to train 

hard and has his sights set on making the 

Olympic team one day. What’s more, Biwott 

volunteers his time to share his story at 

schools throughout the region. “I tell kids 

that they have to work hard and never give 

up,” he shares. “The secret is to do your best, 

every day.”

As a pro athlete, 

HEALING QUICKLY IS VERY IMPORTANT. 

When I developed partial rotator 

cuff tears in both shoulders, I was 

referred to Dr. Brandon Beamer 

for treatment. Through the use of 

platelet rich plasma injection—using 

my own blood platelets—I healed 

quickly and naturally. I was back to 

light workouts in two weeks. 

– SARA MCMANN 

Professional mixed martial artist and wrestling 

silver medalist, 2004 Olympics 

Whether you’re an athlete with an injury or if 

you suffer from chronic pain, use your own 

body’s mechanisms to heal itself. Platelet Rich 

Plasma (PRP) injections can help with joint 

pain, muscle, tendon or ligament injuries.

CATCH ALL 

Lean Up 

Photos courtesy of its respective company or organization. 

Let’s face it—exercising and eating right can be hard, 

but if you’re looking for motivation, the opportunity to 

adopt a healthier lifestyle is here. Lean Up, a community 

outreach program put on by Spare Time Clubs, chooses 

over 200 local applicants to receive an eight-week wellness 

program for free. “It’s a combination of fitness and wellness 

training and guidance in state-of-the art facilities with 

an abundance of professional coaching,” explains Gavin 

Russo, director of sales and marketing for Spare Time 

Clubs. Applicants are asked a series of questions designed 

to determine their current health levels and reasons for 

why previous attempts at a healthier lifestyle didn’t work. 

Those chosen are expected to commit at least six hours per 

week by attending boot camp and Motivate, Educate, Eat 

(MEE) meetings—both of which take place in a supportive, 

positive environment. “Many [past participants] have lost 

significant amounts of weight. Others have been able 

to eliminate or reduce diabetes or high blood pressure 

medications. And still others are able to climb stairs or 

play with their kids or grandkids for the first time in many 

years. Each person has their own compelling reasons for 

wanting to join the Lean Up program,” says Russo. Previous 

participant Jacqueline states that “Lean Up is not only 

about working out, but it’s a program that encourages you 

to take control of your life. The instructors’ enthusiasm 

is contagious and their passion for all of us to succeed is 

powerful.” Applications are accepted through August 31 

with the program beginning September 10. —Emily Peter

Back-to-School Safety Tips 

As school gets underway again, it’s a prime time for parents to go over some safety protocol with their little ones. 

Follow these quick-and-easy tips to help kiddos stay safe. 

The 10 Spot 

by AMITIS POURARIAN 

1 

Don’t put your child's name 

on clothing, backpacks, lunch 

boxes, etc. where it's easily 

visible to others. Instead, put their 

name on the inside, so the article can be 

identified but a stranger can’t approach 

your child and use their name as a way to 

create familiarity. 

2 

Have a password between you 

and your child that no one 

knows. In the event someone 

other than yourself needs to pick them 

up, the person must say that password; 

otherwise, your child should not go. 

3 

If your child walks home and 

has a cell phone, advise them 

not to be engulfed in it. They 

should be paying attention to their 

surroundings and cars approaching 

them. 

4 

Whether your kiddo walks to 

school or plays at a 

playground, predators often 

attempt to lure their prey. Make sure 

your child knows they shouldn’t talk 

with, or even help, a stranger. If 

someone they don’t know asks for help, 

teach them not to approach and instead 

get an adult to help them. 

5 

Teach your kids the 

difference between a secret 

and a surprise. Make sure they 

know to tell you if someone tells them a 

secret. 

6 

Encourage your child to 

communicate with you 

regularly, so in the event of an 

incident involving something like a 

stranger approaching them, they know 

to tell you. 

7 

name. 

8 

Confirm your child knows a 

parent's cell phone number 

(including area code) and full 

Predators typically prefer their 

prey to be compliant, so teach 

your child to kick, punch, and 

scream in the event they’re grabbed. 

9 

If your child rides their bike to 

school, teach them to latch 

onto it if someone attempts to abduct 

them; it’ll make it that much harder for 

the offender to take them. 

10 

If your child is approached by a 

car while they’re walking, teach 

them to walk away from the car 

(opposite direction the car is traveling).

black belt and owner of THE STUDIO 

Martial Arts and Fitness in Roseville. For

Marco Ippaso 

Driven to Create 

by HEATHER L. BECKER 

In addition to creating original paintings 

in loose photo realistic style, artist Marco 

Ippaso also runs a design and marketing 

consultancy, produces commissioned 

art, and illustrates children’s books. A 

true petrolhead at heart, he adores all 

things automotive, as evidenced by the 

classic and vintage race cars that he commonly 

paints. What’s more, Ippaso often donates his art to 

local causes, including Gracias Jesus, which helps 

needy families in Nicaragua and Sacramento, and 

Wellness Oasis, which helps abused women. “Art 

and design is not a hobby or an interest—it’s more 

of a way of life,” says Ippaso. “I love to paint but 

really it’s the art of self-expression, creation, and 

problem-solving.” Although his works are featured 

worldwide, you can view them locally at Zia’s, Blue 

Line Arts, and Gold Country Artists’ Gallery.

HLB: HOW DID BEING BORN IN ITALY AND LIVING ABROAD SHAPE YOUR WORK? 

MI: I love Italy and have always felt Italian in my heart; though, in essence, having been raised in England, 

I’m as British as Earl Grey tea! This made for some momentous moments while watching international 

football games and profusely cheering every time Italy put one past the post amidst a nation of unhappy 

English groans. Italy gives me passion, my love of cars, appreciation for art and design, and a can-do 

attitude—all mixed with inimitable Italian style. England unquestionably provided me with perseverance, 

wit, a sense of getting on with things, and doing things properly without fuss. I love British graphic design 

and ingenuity. 

HLB: DESCRIBE YOUR ARTISTIC STYLE. 

MI: I paint predominantly using a layered pastel style with gouache and a little pencil detailing. The pastel 

is powdered and mixed with baby powder; each layer uses different colors and has a coating of workable 

fixative, which makes it partially transparent, providing depth and vibrancy. It’s a technique I was taught 

at the ArtCenter College of Design and is used by automotive and product designers. I’ve always loved the 

process, the messiness, and fantastic luminosity of it all. 

HLB: HOW ARE ART ASSOCIATIONS BENEFICIAL TO BOTH ARTISTS AND THE COMMUNITY? 

MI: Each organization promotes art throughout the community, which is something we all benefit from. 

The importance of art and design in our society seems, to me, to be grossly underappreciated, especially 

in Anglo-Saxon cultures.

HLB: WHERE DO YOU GO WHEN YOU NEED INSPIRATION? 

MI: I love traveling and miss Europe so often go back, but wherever I am, inspiration is all around. I’m a 

great observer of the unnoticed or taken for granted—the colors of a shadow, the way light is diffused on 

a foggy day, the way the ocean meets the sand. I love it when our human footprint combines with natural 

beauty to create something greater and even more beautiful than the original. Human ingenuity always 

impresses me. artbyippaso.com

Hello Glow 

16 Holistic 

Beauty Tips 

by KOURTNEY JASON 

What exactly is holistic beauty? Depending who you ask, the definition 

differs. According to Melissa Rascon, owner of NorCal Natural 

Beauty Salon and Organic Spray Tanning in Folsom, [it's] the science 

of life and a “practical system based on the belief that optimal health 

is achieved when your mind, body, and spirit are aligned with the 

universe.” For Penny Chabot, owner of Scarlet Halo Holistics in Placerville, holistic beauty 

is about taking care of your physical body outwardly while also going within to tend to 

your non-physical being. “You know when you see someone beaming [with life] and they 

just emit a certain beauty you can actually feel? That’s the type of beauty that catches 

my attention,” she says. “Though everyone’s body is different and needs different things 

to flourish, there are certain ways to boost your beauty in a healthy, vibrant way.” Here, 

three local experts share their top tips. 

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT 

“So often we forget that our skin is 

1 

literally the largest organ in our body. 

It’s a beautiful, intricate system that has a 

million jobs, including filtering out toxins. 

Whatever is happening internally will 

show externally. Adding healthy fats, like 

avocado and almonds, will help deliver 

vitamin E and give you that healthy glow,” 

says Haley Judge, a licensed esthetician, 

owner of Rosewater Holistic Skin Studio 

in Placerville, and creator of Rosarium 

Organic Skin Care. 

2 

“Probiotic supplements and foods, 

like fermented veggies and yogurt, are 

needed to add healthy bacteria in your gut, 

[which] is crucial to having gorgeous skin, 

hair, and nails,” Judge says. 

3 

According to Chabot, “Vitamin C is the 

best overall anti-aging ingredient. Put 

in on topically, ingest it through nutrition, or 

even take a supplement! Just get it in and on 

your body.” 

4 

“Water, water, water! Almost everyone is 

chronically dehydrated. Drinking eight 

glasses of water [every day] will give you a 

beautiful complexion and make a myriad of 

issues vanish,” Judge shares. 

5 

“[Cut back on] sugar. Refined sugar 

inflames the skin and is a leading cause 

of wrinkles and acne. Simply removing it 

from your diet will lead to vibrant skin,” Judge 

says. 

6 

“Herbal tea is a ‘super drink,’ due to 

its ability to flush toxins out. White tip 

oolong and jasmine tea make the skin glow 

from within, visibly reducing unevenness 

and dullness,” Rascon says.

SMART SKIN CARE 

“If there’s no flow, there’s no glow. Science 

7 

is finally recognizing the important role 

the lymphatic system plays in our wellness 

and beauty. Incorporating simple massage 

techniques and tools into your daily routine 

and monthly facials is a game changer. 

[Both help] promote circulation, flush out 

toxins, and lift and tone the skin. With that, 

don’t be afraid to massage your face! Using 

tools like a jade roller, gua sha board, and dry 

brushing are other ways to help support this 

important system,” Judge says. 

“Turmeric reduces inflammation and a little 

bit goes a long way. [To incorporate it into 

your routine], wash your face and hands to remove 

impurities and any makeup; then, in a small bowl or 

jar, mix 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon 

organic apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon organic raw 

local honey, 1/2 teaspoon milk or yogurt, and 1 drop 

lemon essential oil or fresh lemon juice. Try to get a consistency that will stick to your face; be 

careful not to make it too thin as it may drip. Apply the mask (avoiding your eyes), let it sit for 

15–20 minutes, and rinse with warm water. Apply twice a week for best results,” Rascon says. 

10 

9 

Judge says to, “Stop over-exfoliating! 

It’s been a trend in recent years to 

exfoliate with scrubs, acids, and peels on a 

daily basis, but doing this compromises the 

skin, leading to issues such as premature 

aging. I suggest letting your esthetician do 

a gentle exfoliation monthly and using a 

washcloth for daily use.”

“Switch to an organic oil cleanser. Using 

soaps, fragrances, and chemicals on the 

skin strips your healthy bacteria, creating an 

imbalance that’s visible. Oil cleansing is an 

ancient practice that’s making a comeback. 

Even for those who are prone to acne or have 

oily skin, it brings balance back to eradicate 

these problems. But not all oils are created 

equal! Jojoba oil is the most like our own 

skin’s sebum and penetrates the deepest 

without leaving a greasy sheen,” Judge says. 

11 

“Honey is naturally antibacterial, 

making it perfect for breakouts; full of 

antioxidants to help slow down signs of 

aging; and incredibly moisturizing. Apply it as 

a spot treatment to breakouts or dry patches, 

or use it as a whole face mask (apply a thin 

layer in small circles to damp skin, let it soak 

for 20-30 minutes, and rinse),” Judge advises. 

12 

According to Rascon, “It takes eight 

seconds for a beauty product to get 

into the bloodstream, so check labels. The app 

Think Dirty is user-friendly and helpful when 

you’re not sure of a product’s toxicity level; 

just scan the bar code on the app to learn 

about potential toxic ingredients.” 

FIND PEACE OF MIND 

13 

“Have a morning ritual. Immediately 

after waking up and before taking a 

shower, drink lemon water to lower blood 

pressure and balance pH. I also suggest 

beginning your morning with a mantra: 

‘Today I will choose happiness,’ or ‘I am 

thankful for everything I have,’” Rascon 

shares. 

14 

“Address your stress! See where it's 

coming from and make an effort to 

find a less stressful way of life. Getting enough 

sleep and exercise helps. Additionally, find 

time for reflection through yoga, meditation, 

journaling, and with nature,” Chabot says. 

15 

“Take care of your emotional and 

mental health. When we can find 

ways to process and release toxic emotions 

and thoughts, it allows our energy system 

to flow in a way that brings us vitality and 

immunity in a more radiant way,” Chabot 

recommends. 

16 

Judge says, “Don’t be so hard on 

yourself. We all have things we would 

like to fix, but if you only focus on the 

negatives, the stress will literally cause more 

issues. Simplify your skin care routine and 

give yourself a compliment the next time you 

look in the mirror—you deserve it!”

Invest LOV 

Students Who Serve 

by LINDA HOLDERNESS // photos by DANTE FONTANA 

When Vista del Lago teacher 

Janice Johnson chose Invest 

LOV as the name for her new 

nonprofit, she wasn’t looking for a cutesy 

spelling. LOV is an acronym for “Lessons 

of Vera” to honor Johnson’s mother, 

Vera Earlene DeWitt, who was devoted 

to helping others. DeWitt passed away in 

February, but her spirit of volunteerism 

endures through Invest LOV, which 

Johnson spun off from a leadership 

class she started at Vista last fall to 

help teens learn to get involved in their 

communities. “This generation is going to 

be pretty awesome,” Johnson says of her 

students. “They don’t understand it yet, 

but they’re going to do a lot.” The 30 kids 

in her class last year already have a head 

start with two successful community 

projects under their belts. 

Johnson’s curriculum followed a realworld 

process. She divided the students 

into six teams and charged each with 

finding a need in the community and 

developing a project to address it. The 

teams were responsible for planning, 

budgeting, setting up a timeline, and 

proposing their ideas to a panel of judges, 

Shark Tank-style. One project would be 

awarded a $5,000 grant—donated the first 

year by Johnson—to turn the idea into 

reality. For the first two weeks, Johnson 

says, the kids thought the money was 

hypothetical. “When they found out it 

was real, they freaked out.” 

Key to the students’ success was 

“ 

These kids learned 

it doesn’t take a 

million dollars to 

make a difference. 

“ 


mentoring by city leaders, who spoke to the class about needed 

community services and where they could be enhanced. Some of 

these leaders acted as judges for the students’ pitches. This year’s 

winner, revealed at a formal ceremony, was “Nice Tice,” led by 

junior Lauren Tice, who came up with the idea to refurbish outof-use 

parking meters and install them in local agencies to collect 

coin donations. The team bought the meters on eBay, designed 

them, wrote text, and hired someone to do the restoration work. 

Now, nine meters are destined for three nonprofits: Powerhouse 

Ministries, Folsom’s Hope, and 3Strands Global. “This class inspired 

me so much,” Tice says. “I didn’t feel like we could actually make a 

difference in the community, but it opened a lot of doors for other 

ideas on how I can help.” 

This year also had a bonus winner: A donor funded another 

team’s project to update the “ragtag, pieced-together” interior of 

Powerhouse Ministries with bright, functional new IKEA furniture 

the kids built. Once the grants were announced, the whole class 

worked on the winning projects. 

Johnson cut her teaching schedule to part-time this coming 

school year to raise money for Invest LOV, which will fund 

future projects, and to promote the program to other schools. 

She would like to see more teams of kids be able to fund 

projects, either by raising additional money or by apportioning 

smaller amounts where possible. “These kids learned it doesn’t 

take a million dollars to make a difference,” Johnson says. “It 

would be wonderful if every school had this.” investlov.org

TOP BUYING 

TIPS 

by KERRIE L. KELLY, FASID 

When it comes to couches, trendy silhouettes come and go. If you stick 

with the classics, however, you’ll have a timeless piece of furniture that lasts a 

lifetime. Consider these five fan favorites and top designer tips when shopping 

for your next sofa. 

ENGLISH ROLL ARM 

This inviting sofa is also referred to as a bridgewater. With soft arms and cushions, its tilted 

back angle is embracing. Since it requires arm support for those seated to get up and out, 

you’ll want to look for arms that are built into the frame versus being tacked on the outside 

of it. 

Sit on the arm, in the seat, 

1 

and lift up the cushions. 

If you hear a creak or 

notice considerable movement, 

the frame is inferior. 

Request eight-way 

2 

hand-tied or benchmade 

frames. Kiln-dried 

hardwood frames have been 

stabilized and won’t warp over 

time, so you can reupholster 

with confidence or resell your 

quality piece. 

Inquire about your 

3 

cushions. We recommend 

high-density foam 

wrapped in a down and feather 

blend so that cushions return 

to their original shape but are 

comfortable. 

Most sofas come in a few 

4 

standard lengths. If 

you’re looking for a 

catnap and conversation, an 

eight-foot version is ideal. 

Should you be considering 

a sofa shorter than six 

5 

feet, you may want to go 

for two club chairs and an 

ottoman instead. 

Use painters’ tape to stake 

6 

out the location of your 

new sofa. Measure door 

frames, walkways, and other 

clearances to be sure you can 

move the sofa into the space. 

7 

If you have narrow doors 

or stairs, look for models 

with removable legs.

Chesterfield 

This sofa style is formal yet remarkably comfortable. Typically 

found in heavier materials such as linen, velvet, or leather, the 

chesterfield dons rolled arms (more modern versions tout straight 

arm styles) that are the same height as the back. Often tufted, it 

features a tight back and seats, so you’ll want to add a soft pillow 

or two for those afternoon naps. 

MID-CENTURY MODERN 

This sofa style reminds us of Mad Men. Its high back and low 

profile with squared arms and clean lines provides great back 

support. Be sure to test this one out in person; although cushions 

are typically overstuffed, the seat height often comes in too low 

for client comfort. 

TUXEDO 

Stylish and sometimes slightly feminine, the tuxedo sofa is great 

for small spaces. Boxy yet tailored, the back and arms are always 

the same height and the cushions are typically firm. Be sure 

yours doesn’t feature arms that are too high, as it’s often difficult 

to find side tables that complement it.

CAMELBACK 

This style is also referred to as a chippendale. With upright and 

elegant features, thanks to curves and high arms, its back causes 

those seated to sit up straight. You’ll want to pay close attention 

to this particular sofa’s proportions, however—when the seat is 

deep, the back can often seem too high.

Your Guide to the Region’s 

Best Beer and Wine 

by Luna Anona 

Photo © istockphoto.com/MarkWagonerProductions. 

California knows how to party, and it’s probably because we 

have the best booze in the country. From the hazy IPA craze 

to rows of 50-year-old vines, here’s everything you need to 

know about what—and where—you should be drinking. 


Spoiler Alert 

9 Trends to Take Note Of 

1 

Get excited for 

effervescence. 

“Styles of wines are constantly 

changing, as well as the way 

consumers perceive the different 

types of varietals. For example, 

when the movie Sideways was 

released, consumers viewed 

Merlot and Pinot Noir 

completely differently than 

they did before, and the wine 

industry saw major changes 

in the production of both of 

those varietals. As far as the 

newest trend, I’m noticing that 

there are more sparkling wines 

being produced, which was 

previously few and far between. 

As a bubbles lover, this makes 

me really excited!” —Ashlee 

Cuneo, General Manager 

and Certified Sommelier, 

Miraflores Winery, 2120 

Four Springs Trail, 

Placerville, 530-647-8505, 

mirafloreswinery.com 

2 

Unique, warmweather 

varietals are 

about to heat up. 

“Mediterranean varietals that 

do well in warmer regions, such 

as Tempranillo, Monastrell, 

Verdejo, Albariño, Alvarinho, 

Touriga Nacional, and Syrah 

are making a big splash in the 

region. Additionally, there are 

some great Italian varietals 

becoming popular, such as 

Barbera, Sangiovese, and 

the lesser-known Charbono. 

Likewise, French varietals 

that aren’t as well-known as 

their Bordeaux cousins—such 

as Malbec, Cabernet Franc, 

Mourvèdre, and Grenache—are 

also present here in the Sierra 

Foothill region.”—Teena and 

Craig Wilkins, Co-Owners, 

Vina Castellano, 4590 Bell 

Road, Auburn, 530-889-2855, 

vinacastellano.com 

3 

Easy-drinking IPAs 

are here, and you’re 

going to love them. 

(Yes, even you.) 

“For more than a decade, the 

style of choice in California 

has been, and continues to be, 

IPAs. We saw growth of New 

England-style (hazy) IPAs, but 

there are two other beers I 

see garnering attention: brut 

IPAs and India pale lagers— 

beers you can load with hop 

flavors but deliver on a lighter, 

low-bodied base that makes 

them easier to drink.” —Paul 

Schilling, Co-Founder, 

Crooked Lane Brewing 

Company, 536 Grass Valley 

Highway, Auburn, 530-878- 

5232, crookedlanebrewing. 

com 

4 

Brut IPAs are about 

to make a sudsy 

splash. 

“Sour beers and hazy IPAs 

have been popular for a while 

now, but in the last few months, 

something new has arisen: brut 

IPAs. They’re brewed similar 

to a traditional imperial IPA, 

but an enzyme is used to dry 

out the beer more than usual, 

hence the name brut—it’s 

like a very dry sparkling wine. 

They have a big aroma like a 

traditional IPA [with] a lighter 

mouthfeel and a nice, dry, 

easy finish. They’re incredibly 

easy to drink and are bound 

to bring non-IPA drinkers into 

the loop.” —Lauren Zehnder, 

General Manager, Mraz 

Brewing Company, 2222 

Francisco Drive, Suite 510, El 

Dorado Hills, 916-934-0744, 

mrazbrewingcompany.com 

5 

We’re going to 

rosé all day 

again this year. 

“With warmer temperatures 

upon us, rosé is hot! Pink wine 

used to have a stigma after years 

of sweet white Zinfandel, but 

classic rosé—in a crisp, dry, and 

refreshing style—is on everyone’s 

minds and lips right now.”—Jody 

Bogle, Owner and Director of Public 

Relations, Bogle Vineyards, 37783 County Road 

144, Clarksburg, 916-744-1092, boglewinery.com 

We’re going to try 

6 to drink more 

beer but get 

less drunk. 

“There seems to be a push 

toward more session-style beers 

(4.5 percent ABV and under), like 

pilsner and other light lagers, which 

is exciting.”—Erik Schmid, Owner 

and General Manager, Red Bus 

Brewing Company, 802 Reading Street, 

Suite A, Folsom, 916-467-7790, redbusbrew.com 



7 

We’re also going to try to 

drink more wine but get 

less drunk. 

“Winemakers are going back to producing 

balanced wines that aren’t too fruity, too 

oaky, or too alcoholic—the alcohol bomb 

is out and producing approachable wines 

is in.”—Jill Osur, President/Owner, 

1850 Wine Cellars and Mediterranean 

Vineyards, 3 Randolph Street, Sutter 

Creek, 209-267-8114, goldlinebrands. 

com/1850; 7449 Fairplay Road, 

Somerset, 530-497-0175, facebook.com/ 

medivineyards. 

8 

Less (sulfites) is more. 

“More winemakers [are producing bottles 

with] lower levels of sulfites (the chemical 

compound many people ‘think’ they’re 

allergic to). For small producers whose 

fruit quality is excellent, there’s rarely a 

need to overdo the sulfur dioxide.” — 

Zane Dobson, Vintner and Owner, 

PaZa Estate Winery, 3357 Ayres 

Holmes Road, Auburn, 916-834-0565, 

pazawines.com 

9 

Natural and sustainable 

practices are in—and 

Merlot is cool again. 

“One trend we’re really happy about is a 

return to ‘natural’ wines. We have always 

made our wines in this style—minimal 

outside intervention, unfiltered, unfined, 

and using sustainable practices. We also 

anticipate a comeback for Merlot in the 

near future.” —Emily Hays, Owner, 

Chateau Davell Boutique Winery, 3020 

Vista Tierra Drive, Camino, 530-644- 

2016, chateaudavell.com

BOEGER WINERY 

1709 Carson Road, Placerville, 

530-622-8094, boegerwinery. 

com 

The first post-Prohibition winery 

in the El Dorado American 

Viticultural Area (AVA), this local 

staple pioneered a lengthy list 

of underdog varietals—including 

Barbera, which has helped the 

winery scoop up hundreds of 

awards over the years. Today, the 

bustling spot hosts first Sunday 

bluegrass jams, yoga, and petfriendly 

vineyard excursions.

com 

SIERRA VISTA WINERY 

4560 Cabernet Way, Placerville, 

530-622-7221, sierravistawinery. 

Early adopters of the rebirth of 

mountain viticulture, owners 

John and Barbara MacCready 

bought land in 1972, planted some 

grapevines, and never looked 

back. A study revealed that the 

climate closely mirrors France’s 

northern Rhone Valley, which was 

the determining factor in deciding 

how to plant across the 28 acres 

of mountain vineyards. All of the 

wines, with the exception of the 

Sauvignon Blanc, are estate grown. 

3 

MADROÑA VINEYARDS 

2560 High Hill Road, 

Camino, 530-644-5948, 

madronavineyards.com 

These estate wines exhibit the 

best characteristics of Rhone and 

Bordeaux varietals, thanks to 

the ideal 3,000-foot mountain 

elevation. Evolution and calculated 

refining result in big beauties like 

the 2017 Dry Riesling, a bright and 

lush whirlpool of peaches and 

apples, and the spicy and earthy 

2015 Malbec. Complimentary 

tastings of rotating selections take 

place daily. 

4 

LAVA CAP WINERY 

2221 Fruitridge Road, Placerville, 

530-621-0175, lavacap.com 

Named for the lingering volcanic 

soil of million-year-old eruptions, 

this winery has been dedicated to 

producing estate-grown wines since 1986. Pack a picnic, pop in the tasting 

room, and take your favorite bottle to the stunning gardens that overlook 

the vineyards. Insider tip: Try the 2014 Syrah, bursting with deep blackberry 

and blueberry notes and a gentle finish. The vineyard’s southwest-facing 

slope grants the grapes a longer hang-time, yielding more depth and 

intensity in the glass. 

5 

LAVA CAP WINERY 

SCOTT HARVEY WINES 

10861 Shenandoah Road, Plymouth, 209-245-3670, scottharveywines.com 

Often credited with putting Amador County on the wine map, Scott 

Harvey helped develop the crowd favorite Ménage à Trois wines. Following 

his success, Scott decided to go out on his own, with the help of his wife, 

wine industry pro Jana. If it’s your first foray into Scott Harvey, we suggest 

treating yourself with the vineyard’s Zinfandel—it basically garners an award 

every time the winery releases a new bottle. 


6 

MT. VERNON WINERY 

10850 Mt. Vernon Road, Auburn, 530-823-1111, 

mtvernonwinery.com 

The largest winery in Placer County, this 

charm-filled destination boasts a gorgeous 

tasting room in a restored 1950s milk house. 

Buy a bottle to enjoy in the umbrellashrouded 

picnic area, and don’t miss a photo 

op with the lush vineyard and meticulously 

maintained garden backdrop. Mt. Vernon also 

has another focus: finding a cure for breast 

cancer. When you purchase one of their 

breast cancer research wines, 12.5 percent of 

the proceeds are donated to the cause. 

7 

BONITATA BOUTIQUE WINE 

291 Auburn Folsom Road, Auburn, 530- 

305-0449, bonitataboutiquewine.com 

A sweet slice of history, this winery lives 

inside the Bernhard Museum, home of the 

original Bernhard Winery founded in 1874. 

The historic building functions as a natural 

wine cellar: partially buried into the hillside 

with stone walls that are two feet thick, 

creating the ideal dark, cool environment. 

Hailed for its estate grape, Zinfandel, the 

winery also produces a variety of other 

red, white, and sweet wines—including a 

deliciously indulgent Syrah Port. 

8 

RIVER CITY BREWING COMPANY 

6241 Fair Oaks Boulevard, Suite G, 

Carmichael, 916-550-5093, 

rivercitybrewing.net 

The second 

incarnation of 

a long-standing 

Sacramento 

tradition, River 

City migrated 

to Carmichael 

in 2015 after 

nearly two 

decades of being 

a downtown watering hole—the oldest 

brewpub in town. If you can’t choose from 

the 16 taps, try the award-winning flagship 

amber lager, Vienna, or straw-colored Cap 

City IPA. Meanwhile, the kitchen blends 

locally sourced ingredients with classic pub 

grub picks, like French dip sandwiches and 

pulled pork sliders, plus a few inventive wild 

cards (Reuben rolls, anyone?). With $5 pints 

and apps during happy hour, River City is 

exactly what a brewpub should be. 

9 

RUHSTALLER BEER 

726 K Street, Sacramento, 916-447-1881, 

ruhstallerbeer.com 

Captain Frank Ruhstaller, the leading brewer 

in the Sacramento region during its hop 

heyday in the late 1880s, is the namesake 

behind the capital city’s first 

premium craft brewery. 

Of course, Prohibition 

shut production down, 

but in 2011, they made 

their comeback. Priding 

themselves on using 

locally grown hops to 

make bona fide Sac brews 

like their flagship golden 

lager, Gilt Edge, the brewery 

also offers a hands-on hop school, plus a 

recently opened basement tasting room in 

Downtown Sacramento.

Dueling Dogs Brewing Company 

3030 Barrett Park Lane, Lincoln, 916-434-8141, duelingdogsbrewing.com 

Made with hand-picked ingredients from their own orchards, vineyards, and hop fields, this 

watering hole is pioneering a pasture-to-pint movement. More than just a brewery, Dueling 

Dogs also serves up mead, cider, and something you probably can’t find at most spots: cyser, 

which is a slightly sweet, super crisp fusion of the two. If you’re more of a traditionalist, fear 

not: You’ll also find a pilsner, chocolate porter, mandarin wit, pale ale, and IPA on draft.

Red Bus Brewing Company 

802 Reading Street, Suite A, Folsom, 

916-467-7790, redbusbrew.com 

It’s like a cozy clubhouse (think red leather couches, 

foosball tables, and tic-tac-toe) with an undeniably hip 

factor (a bright red ’68 Volkswagen bus), and it’s also 

the first brewery to tap into the Folsom beer scene 

since the 1880s. A labor of love for veteran homebrewer 

Erik Schmid, the tap house has offered traditional 

brews like Type III, a pale ale, as well as more creative 

efforts, like Dank Brut, a champagne-style IPA. One 

notable thing about the clubhouse? There are no 

secret passwords, or even secrets at all. The recipes and 

production process are an open book—just ask.

A comprehensive lineup of 

nuanced IPAs with complex 

tasting notes and adventurous, 

cheeky stouts including Plentiful 

Pastries, an American imperial 

stout brewed with powdered 

maple sugar and maple donuts) 

are this brewery’s claim to fame. 

If the beer itself isn’t enough 

to inspire you to build a shrine 

on your shelf, perhaps you’ll 

be swayed by the funky and 

hypnotic cans, which are works 

of art in their own right. These 

hop gurus are branching out 

from their Sacramento roots and 

bringing their craft to Granite 

Bay, with a seasonal and locally 

sourced menu to boot.

Following in his winemaker grandfather’s footsteps, founder Robert Jones channels his 

pride for the region into the bottle, showcasing his sustainable vineyard’s Pinot Noir 

and Chardonnay. The 2014 Pinot Noir is bursting with lush, dark fruits and black cherry 

notes, signature to Anderson Valley, while the Russian River Valley’s 2016 Chardonnay 

is a silky daydream of pineapple, golden apple, honey, and spice. Visit the tasting room 

or book a private cave tasting for a subterranean sipping experience.

7 FUN FACTS 

1If not for the Gold Rush, 

perhaps there wouldn’t 

be California wine as we know 

it today. European immigrants 

with winemaking in their 

blood came for the gold but 

realized a shinier opportunity: 

selling wine to homesick miners. 

The first grapes in Placer County 

were planted in 1848 by miner Claude Chana, a French 

immigrant. 

2The Sierra Foothills covers 2.6 million acres 

and contains vines planted throughout eight 

counties. 

3The foothills housed more than 100 wineries 

by the end of the 19th century, more than any 

other region in California, but the decline of gold mining 

and Prohibition put a cork in things until the late 1960s, 

when a new generation of pioneers took over. 

4The Bogle family was well-known in the ’50s 

and ’60s for farming row 

crops, predominantly corn. In 

1968, Warren Bogle decided 

to try something he wouldn’t 

need to replant every year, 

so he put in a few acres of 

potatoes, all of which promptly 

died. A consultant advised 

Warren to plant wine grapes, so 

he planted 10 acres of Petite Sirah and 10 

acres of Chenin Blanc. It was good advice: 50 years 

later, Bogle wines are sold in all 50 states and nearly 

40 countries. 

5Crooked Lane Brewing Company was originally 

built in 1980 as a duplex movie theater, and 

in the ’90s, it became a car dealership. Today, thirsty 

patrons reminisce about how they had their first kiss in 

the building—or bought their first car there! 

6Beer was also a preferred libation during the 

Gold Rush, of course, with Galena Brewery 

opening in 1849, about 100 yards from Sutter’s Fort. The 

first beers were brewed and sold for 25 cents a glass 

(about $10 today). 

7When Erik Schmid was creating Red Bus 

Brewing Company, he bought its iconic red 

bus—a ’68 Volkswagen—with the intention of using it to 

shuttle customers from Sutter Street to the brewery and 

back. The insurance company wasn’t too keen on the 

liability, so now the bus is just the logo—and arguably 

one of the best bar accessories in town. 


5 

Black Vette Winery 

4984 Bell Road, Auburn, 916-444-5338, 

blackvettewinery.com 

Named after the owner’s 1966 black Chevy Corvette that she’s 

owned and coveted since ’81, Black Vette Vineyards’ first harvest 

happened in 2017 with bottling taking place just last month. 

The second harvest, slated for this fall, will include Petit Verdot, 

Sangiovese, Montelpulciano, and Primitivo. Eager beavers will have 

to be patient though: The winery’s tasting room and bottles won’t 

be available till 2019. 

6 

Mount Saint Joseph Wines 

(Vin Uva Tasting Room) 

8629 Auburn Folsom Road, Granite Bay, 

916-784-9463, mountsaintjosephwines.com 

The idea for Mount Saint Joseph Wines—whose tasting room, Vin Uva, 

opened last month—originated in January 2015 during a conversation 

between nationally recognized Napa winemaker Peter Story and 

Father Matthew Spencer of Saint Joseph Marello Catholic Church 

(hence the winery’s moniker). Their goal was simple: beautify the 

property of the Oblates of Saint Joseph—an order of priests who have 

had their novitiate and seminary on the 20-acre grounds in Loomis 

for almost 70 years—with vineyards and provide lease income to 

support the Oblates seminary and youth service missions. Three 

years later and they have a well-established wine club, 1,800 cases of 

red and white varietals and blends (with much more on the way), and 

a popular presence at numerous local restaurants. 



7 

Hillenbrand 

Farmhaus Brewery 

5100 Virginiatown Road, Newcastle, 818-714-0078, 

hillenbrandbrewery.com 

This barn-turned-brewery offers a pastoral view to enjoy with 

your pint. Seating for the lofty, wood-filled space overflows 

outside, where you can sit by the pond or sprawl out at picnic 

tables. Naturally, it’s a picturesque wedding venue and also 

hosts offbeat events worth driving out of town for, like sushi 

and beer pairings and comedy nights. A small but mighty 

menu checks all the boxes: a fruity IPA (we recommend trying 

it with the Dole Whip for a refreshing summer sipper), spicy 

and citrusy saison, passionfruit sour, dessert-inspired stout, 

and classic blonde ale.

6 Labels We Love 

Mraz Brewing Company 

2222 Francisco Drive, Suite 510, El Dorado Hills, 916- 

934-0744, mrazbrewingcompany.com 

If Mraz has a signature style, it would best be 

described as “fun.” Just like its sudsy content, 

the artwork on every can is vastly different, 

ranging from sassy puns to gothic vibes and 

nostalgic cartoons to revived memes. 

Chateau Davell Boutique 

Winery 

3020 Vista Tierra Drive, Camino, 530-644-2016, 

chateaudavell.com 

Chateau Davell’s first wine was named Charlotte, 

a tribute to co-owners Emily and Eric Hays’ 

daughter. To go along with the name, Eric 

painted her portrait. The pair loved 

the idea of each wine being named 

for someone close to them so much 

that they continued with the theme. 

Lone Buffalo Vineyards 

7505 Wise Road, Auburn 530-823-1159, lonebuffalovineyards.com 

As a nod to Native American culture, each label at Lone Buffalo includes a 

unique symbol—just like the Natives used in their own artwork to express 

ideas and emotions—from a thunderbird (messenger of the Gods) on their 

2015 Thunder Beast Zinfandel to buffalo horns (success) on their 2015 

Tatonka Tempranillo.

oftentimes abstract and sometimes straightforward but 

always colorful, eye-popping, and fun. 

Popie Wines

popiewines.com 

Auburn-based artist Jan Kapple Klein

Napa Valley. 

Loomis Basin Brewing 

Company 

3277 Swetzer Road, Loomis, 916-259- 

2739, loomisbasinbrewing.com 

The majority of Loomis Basin’s 

labels, especially their flagship beers 

like Vindicator IPA, are based off of 

vintage fruit packaging labels from 

around the area. 


8 

Rucksack Cellars 

3030 Carson Road, Placerville, 

530-647-2113, rucksackcellars. 

com 

Think of Rucksack Cellars as the 

spirit of the Sierra Foothills swirled 

in a glass. Rucksack’s sister winery, 

Madroña Vineyards, produces 100 

percent estate wines (wine that 

is made from start to finish at a 

winery’s property, including grape 

sourcing), but Rucksack has sought 

out to shop at neighboring vineyards 

to create complex fruit expressions 

that only this region can produce. 

Look for the Seco, a rich and berryforward 

wine that pairs beautifully 

with spicy foods, or the Barbera Rosé, 

a vibrant raspberry summer sipper.

Out of Bounds Craft

This rustic-chic biergarten boasts plush 

leather couches, a lengthy bar, and a patio 

for spirited socializing. Expect playful 

IPAs, unique blonde ales, and seasonal 

stouts, plus artisanal guest ciders. Tip: 

Grab a table that’ll be big enough for all 

the food you’ll want to order, because 

Out of Bounds is one of the few breweries 

with a full kitchen, offering swanky 

spins on pub grub like mahi-mahi tacos, 

towering BLTs topped with salmon filets, 

and grilled brie.

Everything at Moksa is, frankly, 

huge. There’s the 3,000-square-foot 

space, which can accommodate up 

to 120 hopheads on any given day. 

Then there’s the beer list, which is 

a perpetual rotation of 24 different 

brews. Then, of course, there’s the 

booze factor—expect 9.9 percent 

triple IPAs, 17 percent barley wines, 

and 10.4 percent imperial stouts. 

You can bring your own grub but 

check online first: Local food trucks 

roll in most days.

Ol’ Republic Brewery 

11151 Trade Center Drive, Suite 104, 

Rancho Cordova, 916-215-8702, 

olrepublicbrewery.com 

This Nevada City native offers a palate 

cleanser to the region’s hop-heavy suds, 

with a long list of easy-sipping lagers and 

refreshing pilsners, in addition to the 

usual IPA and stout offerings. Do your 

taste buds a favor and join the Barrel Club 

for a swig of “Project X,” a creative side 

gig starring limited production brews that 

usually flow straight to the bottle, like 

Chocolypto, a chocolate oatmeal stout, or 

Darkest Matter, a black scotch ale.

the perfect Christmas tree. Years later,

nod to the Gold Rush (gold is the 79th 

element on the periodic table) and 

their wedding year. Try the hard-tofind 

Viognier, an aromatic and unique

Lava Cap is a family-owned winery in Placerville, California. The Jones family 

planted their first vines in 1981 and opened the winery in 1986 on a special site in the 

heart of El Dorado County. The family of geologists specifically selected this location for 

its prime volcanic soil that is particularly well suited to growing fine wine grapes. They 

named their new business after this unique "lava cap," where their grapes flourish in the 

volcanic soil, warmed by the foothill sunshine and cooled by gentle Sierra night breezes.

DINING SPOTLIGHT 

Chile Relleno 

Chile Verde 

Carnitas Plate 

Fish Tacos 


“ 

SERVED WITH YOUR 

CHOICE OF WARM FLOUR 

OR CORN TORTILLAS—FOR 

TRANSPORTING THE SAVORY 

PAYLOAD TO ITS DESIRED 

DESTINATION—THE FLAVOR 

OF THE MEAT AND ALL THE 

FIXIN’S HAD MY TASTE BUDS 

FULLY ENGAGED. 

Angel’s 

Kitchen 

A Family of Fare by LORN RANDALL // photos by DANTE FONTANA 

New to Folsom by way of Michoacán, 

Mexico, is Angel’s Kitchen. Owned by 

father-daughter duo, Rebecca Vargas 

and Norbeto Velez (formerly of Familia 

Taqueria), and named after Vargas’ 

mother, the kitchen pumps out scratchmade, 

home-style Mexican fare in 

comfortable, cheerful environs. 

I started with one my girlfriend’s 

go-to favorites: chile relleno. Luckily, Angel’s version was the authentic style she loves—a large cheese-filled 

poblano pepper with a slight heat, dipped in egg batter, gently fried, and nestled in warm rojo sauce. I kept 

wishing it was morning, so I could throw a poached egg on top and call it breakfast (with a cerveza, of course). 

Next came the carnitas plate—shredded and lightly seasoned slow-roasted pork alongside Spanish rice, a 

smooth pinto bean purée, and dollop of guacamole and crema. Served with your choice of warm flour or corn 

(one drop at a time). 

” 

tortillas—for transporting the savory 

payload to its desired destination—the 

flavor of the meat and all the fixin’s had 

my taste buds fully engaged. 

On a side note, there were a couple 

of muy caliente sauces on most tables. 

If you’re brave enough to try them (I 

was), be aware of the label’s bold 

print “Xxxtra Hot Sauce” and “Chile 

Habanero.” Luckily, I survived without 

the customary tongue 

mopping, profuse sweating, 

and milk chugging of some 

of my previous encounters 

with untested hot sauces. 

Frankly, it was quite good 

Going back to more of my comfort food favorites, I ordered chile verde. The offering here included 

a fairly mild green chile sauce with mouthwatering pieces of slow-simmered pork tenderloin and tortillas. 

Morning, noon, or night, I’d be happy devouring this dish. 

I wanted to sample the fish tacos before I left, and my order came with two, eight-inch warm tortillas filled 

with breaded white fish, shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, and Mexican crema. Plug in your choice of hot sauce 

and a cold beverage, close your eyes, and picture yourself listening to the sounds of surf with your toes in the sand. 

The bill might have been the best surprise of the day—all the aforementioned eats for a lofty price tag of about 

$29 plus tip. Now that’s something to taco ’bout!

FIND 

by ASHLEIGH GRUENWALD 

Folsom State Slickers // Much to the glee of liquor lovers, Folsom State Slickers (formerly City Slickers) has reopened in 

Historic Folsom. With 24 years under its belt, this family-owned watering hole continues to be the go-to spot for locals looking to get hydrated in 

laid-back environs. In addition to a rotation of local beers and ciders, plus hard alcohol aplenty, the relaxed spot also pumps out some great pub 

grub. From traditional bar snacks, like pretzels with beer cheese and buffalo hot wings, to breakfast sandwiches, personal pizzas, and a few sweet 

desserts, there’s a little something for everyone. A few friends and I stopped by for happy hour and instantly felt at ease in the open atmosphere. 

With the heat in full force, I was in dire need of a cold, crisp beer and—upon the bartender's recommendation—went with an area favorite: Knee 

Deep Brewing Company's Breaking Bud India Pale Ale. This refreshing West Coast-style IPA featured plenty of hops with tropical hints of mango 

and passionfruit. Craving something to soak up all the suds, I ordered one of their specialty Mini Pepperoni Pizzas—a cheesy, meaty masterpiece 

that was the perfect pairing to my pint. Sitting outside on the gorgeous wraparound porch, I couldn’t help but plan my next trip to this Folsom 

favorite that also features pool tables (and tournaments!), live music, and local art adorning its walls. 705 Gold Lake Drive, Suite 200, Folsom,

THE HOT LIST 

Family-Friendly Dining! 

6 Best Kids’ Menus compiled by STYLE STAFFERS // photos by DANTE FONTANA 

Forget Happy Meals. Several mom-and-pop eateries are stepping up their family-friendly dining game 

to include more than just French fries and plastic toys. From fun activities and accommodating staff to 

scratch-made menu items, the following places promise kiddos will leave extra happy (and full)! In no 

particular order… 

Aji Japanese Bistro 

Back to the 80s Café and More 

Skipolini’s Pizza 

BarnBurner 

Brickyard Kitchen and Bar 

The Breakroom 

“Skipolini’s Pizza lets 

kids become ‘Junior Chef’ 

for the day by building their 

own cheese or Pepperoni 

Pizza at the table. My little 

critter loves the thrill of 

crafting his own masterpiece 

only to scarf it down a few 

minutes later. After, you’ll 

find him climbing, sliding, 

and swinging from the play 

structure outside. It’s usually 

an evening well spent.” 

skipolinispizza.com 

“The Breakroom in Shingle 

Springs is where ‘food meets fun.’ 

They have lots, and I mean lots, of 

games for the young and young 

at heart (aka, my husband) and 

a children’s menu that’s creative 

with its names—like the ‘Whatever’ 

cheeseburger, the ‘I Don’t Care’ 

grilled cheese, and the ‘I’m Not 

Hungry’ Mac ‘n’ Cheese. 

Whether it’s through the food 

or the games, my kids are 

always thoroughly entertained.” 

breakroomeatery.com 

“BarnBurner in Rocklin 

has something for everyone—a 

loaded menu for adults, an 

exciting menu for kiddos, and 

another for Fido (breakfast 

chow or pooch patty? Take 

your pick). My nieces love their 

French Toast encrusted in 

Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I’ve 

tried it and can see why. It’s 

sweet, crunchy and combines 

two breakfasts. I don’t think 

they’ll tire of it anytime soon.” 

916-259-1751 

“Brickyard Kitchen and 

Bar in Roseville screams fun 

‘round every turn. The kids 

stay occupied with corn hole, 

Jenga, and more, while adults 

enjoy some respite of their 

own. A sufficient menu for 

youngins provides all of their 

favorites, including a juicy 

Cheeseburger that comes 

with a small soda and side (fries, 

chips, slaw, or veggies). It’s a winwin 

for all ages and appetites.” 

brickyard916.com 

“Back to the 80s Café 

and More in Rancho Cordova 

is totally rad! Step back in time 

to a bygone era of Pac Man and 

Pee Wee, browse through their 

memorabilia, and give your kids 

a taste of what life was like 

when everyone had perms and 

shoulder pads. When you’re 

done perusing, treat junior to a 

good ol’ Grilled Cheese and 

reminisce. It’ll be a bonding 

experience like none other.” 

backtothe80scafe.com 

“Aji Japanese Bistro in 

El Dorado Hills is known for 

their creative offerings that 

extend to their kids’ menu 

as well. My sushi-loving 

grandson loves the Crunchy 

Cali Roll that consists 

of lightly fried snow crab, 

avocado, and cucumber. 

Trying to get each bite into 

his mouth is a challenge, 

but he’s getting pretty 

good at those chopsticks!”

Just a French Guy 

Cooking: Easy Recipes 

and Kitchen Hacks 

for Rookies by Alexis 

Gabriel Aïnouz 

(Quadrille Publishing, 

2018, $19.99) 

Seasonal Recipe 

and Beer Pairing 

• 3 1/2 oz. dried rice 

noodles 

• 1/3 cup full-fat 

coconut milk 

• 1 tbsp. runny honey 

• 10 rice wrappers 

SWEET SUMMER 

ROLLS 

Fruit, vegetable, 

and fresh herb 

combinations that 

work well in the filling: 

• Either mango, 

avocado, and 

chopped mint; 

strawberries, red 

peppers, and 

chopped basil; 

or cucumber, 

pineapple, and fresh 

chopped cilantro 

SERVING SUGGESTION 

• Natural yogurt 

• Runny honey 

Cook the rice noodles according to the packet 

instructions. Drain and set them aside in a 

bowl. Mix in the coconut milk and honey. 

Cut one-quarter of the fruit and vegetables you 

are using into attractive, thin slices (carpaccio, 

anyone?) and set aside for decoration. Cut 

the rest of the fruit and vegetables into thin 

sticks—you are going to use them to fill the 

rolls. 

Wine 

Steals 

Under 

$17 

Picture the scene—mid-summer, blazing 

hot sun. Your small son pulls your arm 

and for the second time you drop a 

messy pulled pork and slaw sandwich. 

Meet me halfway. Not so sure that 

the sticky butterscotch buns planned 

for dessert are going to be any more 

successful. If only you’d thought of 

making my fresh sweet summer rolls… 

SIP ON THIS 

Kim Crawford Sauvignon 

Blanc 

ABV: 12% 

OVERALL RATING: 4 

TASTING NOTES: Fresh, juicy, and crisp; 

brimming with tart acidity and fruity 

sweetness; aromas of fresh-cut grass and 

citrus; palate is ripe with pear, grapefruit, and 

melon; balanced flavor profile; pairs brilliantly 

with spicy Asian foods, seafood, or summer 

salads 

PRICE: $10.97 

PURCHASE: Total Wine & More 

Fill a large dish with warm water, dip a rice wrapper in the water, and then place the wrapper 

flat on a board in front of you. 

Put a few noodles and then some chopped herbs and fruit and vegetable sticks on top, laid 

horizontally, one-third of the way from the edge of the wrapper nearest your navel. Topped with 

fruit and vegetable slices so they line up with the sticks. 

Roll the rice wrapper around the filling, folding the sides in as you go to seal the summer roll.

SOLID GROUND BREWING COMPANY’S CLOUDS REST 

ABV: 6.5% 

Named after a mountain in Yosemite National 

Hailing from Marlborough, New Zealand, Kim Crawford’s aromatic, perfectly balanced 

wines started winning awards soon after they launched in 1996 and have continued to 

impress and gain a fanatical following. For more info, visit kimcrawfordwines.com. 

Kim Crawford Pinot Noir 

ABV: 13% 

OVERALL RATING: 2 

TASTING NOTES: Dark cherry 

and strawberry flavors that are 

complemented by subtle hints of 

oak; mild and smooth without many 

tannins; good balance of dryness and 

acidity; shines with a variety of foods, 

including red meat, roasted chicken, 

and sharp cheeses 

PRICE: $16.49 

PURCHASE: Total Wine & More 

OVERALL RATING is the average score (out of 5) given by Style staff tasters. Ratings should be taken with a grain 

of salt, as we are by no means “experts”—just hard-working employees who enjoy imbibing. 

Pairs with 

Park, Clouds Rest is a hazy IPA that boasts a 

light, juicy body and slightly 

bitter finish that nicely 

opposes its fruity 

flavors. The pairing of 

Galaxy and Hallertau 

Blanc hops give it 

sweet aromas of 

papaya, guava, and 

white wine. Thanks 

to a bity bitterness, it’s 

refreshingly different than 

other hazy IPAs but still leaves 

a clean, crisp finish, making it the perfect pint 

for a warm summer’s eve.

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? 

After relocating to El Dorado Hills from Boston three years ago, I was 

commuting to the East Coast once a month to take care of my longtime 

clients. I’m thrilled to now be part of the team at Adagio for Hair where 

everyone is committed to providing the best service possible for every 

guest. Since my early teenage years, I knew I wanted to do hair and 

have focused my career on color for the last 17 years. 

What was the first job you ever had, and what did you learn from 

the experience? 

Baskin-Robins. I learned early on about customer service and 

presentation. No one wants a sloppy ice cream cone! 

What life accomplishments are you most proud of? 

Personally, completing my first triathlon. It was the hardest thing 

physically, other than having children, that I’ve ever done; I had to tell 

myself "You are strong" the whole way in order to finish. 

Where do you go when the going gets tough? 

To my yoga mat to find inner peace. 

What’s your biggest job perk? 

Fostering relationships with my clients and seeing the self-confidence 

they walk out with after our time together. 

What’s your favorite place to eat out locally? 

Sky Sushi. 

If you could be in any other profession, what would it be? 

I love decorating my home and could see myself doing interior design 

work or being a party planner—anything where I can express myself 

creatively. 

And finally, customer service is…? 

Everything. 

Describe your business. 

MacLaren-Cochrane Publishing creates books in dyslexic font that 

teach, inspire, and help children discover the beautiful world of reading. 

Our books show that diversity is a beautiful thing and that everyone 

has a story to tell. The dyslexic font is an important step forward in 

helping people who suffer from the disorder, and we’re proud to offer 

it in all the books we make. 

What life accomplishments are you most proud of? 

The children I’ve raised. 

Who is your role model in business or in life, and why? 

My husband, Todd, because he never stops trying to make life worth 

living. 

Where do you go when the going gets tough? 

The ocean. 

What’s your favorite place to eat out locally? 

The Original Mels Diner. The people there always make us feel like 

family. 

Where do you and your family go locally to have fun? 

The park. 

What’s your favorite local event that you go to? 

Tuesday movie night. 

What’s your favorite local business other than your own? 

Barnes & Noble. 

If you could be in any other profession, what would it be? 

A screenwriter.
