Style Magazine - November 2022
Ironically, even though I’m the editor at STYLE, I’ve never been one to keep up with what’s actually in style. Maybe I’m old school or simply an old soul, but I’ve always gravitated toward “old” things and lived by a “less is more” mentality. Don’t believe me? Never have I ever owned an Alexa (is she even around anymore?) or a brand-new car, and I still write (with a pen…on paper!) tangible grocery and to-do lists. More often than not, by the time I learn about the latest technology, TV show, or hairstyle…the Joneses have already moved on to something bigger and better. Even if money did grow on trees, I don’t think I’d be running out to buy the biggest bungalow on the block or the swankiest set of wheels (though, I probably wouldn’t say no to a slightly newer, more reliable ride…). And while I realize investing in some material things can pay off, I prefer investing in relationships and experiences. Luckily, November—the month of gathering and good food—is the prime time to make memories and build deeper bonds with your nearest and dearest. And this issue is full of ways to do just that, starting with our feature, “Foodie Favorites” (page 64), where the region’s top chefs dish about their top spots to eat and drink, from dessert destinations and under-the-radar restaurants to pizza places, and more. If you’re looking for some new locales to celebrate a special occasion or wondering which wineries are worth checking out, you won’t want to miss this read. Take notes, then take your loved ones out for a memorable meal, pronto. Finally, in “Be Our Guest” (page 60), we highlight some of California’s best boutique hotels, from a cabin in the woods to a sanctuary by the sea. Grab your family, your suitcases, and go! Travel, after all, is the ultimate experiential expenditure. Enjoy the issue—and remember to give thanks and grace to those you love most. Cheers!

is full of ways to do just that, starting with our feature,<br />
“There’s<br />
“Foodie Favorites” (page 64), where the region’s top chefs<br />

insane than<br />
this read. Take notes, then take your loved ones out for<br />

Another way to connect with those closest to you?<br />
Cooking! Something about mixing, mingling, and<br />
Or more<br />
making a mess in the kitchen—music on, wine flowing<br />
exasperated. freely—brings about genuine laughter and conversation.<br />
Or more…<br />
Luckily, with Thanksgiving (and loads of leftovers) upon<br />
us, there are ample opportunities to break bread. On<br />

page 88, “Second Chance Meals to Gobble Up,” we have<br />
—Jim Butcher five clever, fridge-clearing concoctions to make, from<br />
easy enchiladas to eggs Benedict stuffed with stuffing.<br />
Pull out the Tupperware of turkey and dig into a new holiday tradition.<br />
If your (of age) family likes fine wine (like mine!), then check out “What the Pros<br />
Pour” (page 86) featuring 10 feast-friendly, locally made libations that are sure to be<br />
the talk of this year’s Turkey Day table.<br />
Finally, in “Be Our Guest” (page 60), we highlight some of California’s best boutique<br />
hotels, from a cabin in the woods to a sanctuary by the sea. Grab your family, your<br />
suitcases, and go! Travel, after all, is the ultimate experiential expenditure.<br />

something about the combination of<br />
crispy chicken, coleslaw, and pickles<br />
that has me coming back for more!"<br />
—Nelly Kisylanka<br />

Honoring Our Veterans<br />
by NELLY KISLYANKA<br />
In honor of Veterans Day (<strong>November</strong> 11) and National Veterans<br />
and Military Families Month, we’d like to salute all the brave men<br />
and women—and their families—who have sacrificed for our<br />
country and those who continue to keep our nation safe. We’re<br />
honored to call the following four veterans neighbors.<br />
16 stylemg.com | NOVEMBER <strong>2022</strong> | /stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemags<br />
Roger Linn<br />
Roger Linn served in the<br />
U.S. Navy for four years<br />
during the Vietnam War. He<br />
took advantage of his G.I.<br />
Bill benefits to become a<br />
lawyer, eventually working<br />
for the U.S. Securities and<br />
Exchange Commission in<br />
Washington D.C. “While in<br />
D.C. (home of the Pentagon,<br />
of course) I realized I missed<br />
the Navy, wearing a uniform,<br />
and serving my country,” he<br />
says. So, he returned to the<br />
Navy as a Judge Advocate<br />
General Corp (JAGC) officer<br />
and worked as a Navy lawyer<br />
for 28 years.<br />
What motivated you to<br />
serve?<br />
I initially had a low draft<br />
number, so in 1971—after<br />
graduating from college—<br />
rather than being involuntarily<br />
drafted into the Army, I<br />
voluntarily enlisted in the U.S.<br />
Navy. My dad and my wife’s<br />
dad served in the Navy during<br />
WWII. I was proud to serve in<br />
the military—although this was<br />
during the Vietnam War and<br />
serving in the military often<br />
subjected one to harassment.<br />
What do you appreciate<br />
most about our military?<br />
Being able to serve my country<br />
and showing that service by<br />
the uniform I proudly wore.<br />
My children grew up proud<br />
that their dad was a Naval<br />
officer. I also appreciate the<br />
camaraderie of fellow soldiers,<br />
sailors, Marines, and airmen.<br />
In any meeting of people,<br />
business or casual, if I meet<br />
another service member, we<br />
instantly have something in<br />
common.<br />
What was the hardest part<br />
about your time in the<br />
military?<br />
The eight months I served<br />
on board the USS Enterprise<br />
aircraft carrier. Being away<br />
from home for that amount<br />
of time and spending weeks<br />
at a time at sea on board a<br />
giant floating airport can be<br />
difficult—but it was our duty<br />
to do so, and we did what we<br />
had to do.<br />
Favorite quote?<br />
“The captain of a ship is<br />
responsible for everything<br />
that goes right and everything<br />
that goes wrong on board.”<br />
—Unknown<br />

KARLA<br />
PATIENT – EAR, NOSE<br />
AND THROAT<br />
With an enlarged thyroid gland<br />
closing off her throat, Karla’s<br />
health, ability to swallow food,<br />
and overall quality of life<br />
steadily declined. Deprived<br />
of her passion, Karla chose<br />
to seek help from UC Davis<br />
Health, where she found the<br />
team of ear, nose and throat<br />
specialists who surgically<br />
removed the growth and helped<br />
restore her life once and for all.<br />

Military Tuition Assistance Program for activated reserve/guard<br />
service members [and graduated with] a degree in art. I’m<br />
currently a professional artist, both in graphic design and fine<br />
art, and also own Brush of Creativity (brushofcreativity.com).<br />
Favorite quote?<br />
“Curiosity will conquer fear even more than bravery will.”<br />
—James Stephens<br />
Deidre Trudeau<br />
Deidre Trudeau dedicated six years of service to the United<br />
States Air Force. “I’m often thanked for my service, but it is I<br />
who have our country to thank,” she says. As a professional<br />
mixed media artist, she gives back to her fellow veterans as a<br />
teaching artist for California Veterans in the Arts, the Wounded<br />
Warrior Project, and the Veteran Artist Program.<br />
What motivated you to serve?<br />
I grew up near an Air National Guard base in Massachusetts<br />
and knew quite a few members, including my older brother.<br />
It looked like a worthy thing to check out and embark on. I<br />
also appreciated the opportunity to serve our country and be<br />
among those who salute united in the commitment to protect.<br />
How does your military experience affect your current job<br />
and/or life?<br />
The military doesn’t necessarily nurture an artist’s heart but<br />
helps give you the grit to pursue a solo enterprise and make<br />
a small business happen. Fortunately, I took advantage of the<br />
Jennifer Newman<br />
MSgt. Jennifer Newman, CAANG-Ret. served in the military<br />
for “20 years, six months, and six days,” she proudly states.<br />
Though she may be out of uniform today, she continues to<br />
serve her community and was even honored with the 2021<br />
El Dorado County Veteran of the Year Award.<br />
What motivated you to serve?<br />
I grew up in a very structured environment and always<br />
found that the [military] lifestyle suited my personality and<br />

offered what I needed to live my life as I still do today: with<br />
structure, order, respect, and purpose.<br />
What do you appreciate most about our military?<br />
Brotherhood (“love of country”)—people, both men and<br />
women, coming together for a common alliance to protect<br />
our country. The military teaches people to “prepare” and<br />
not just “react” to war or life. You must have a plan and a<br />
purpose to survive.<br />
everyone; the training instructor’s job is to weed out the weak<br />
and build up the strong. I learned more about myself in those<br />
eight weeks than I ever thought existed.<br />
Favorite quote?<br />
“What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in<br />
the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog."—Dwight<br />
Eisenhower<br />
What was the hardest part about your time in the military?<br />
Basic training! I was a 25-year-old college graduate and a<br />
"master of life" (so I thought) when I enlisted in the military.<br />
I describe basic training with the saying: "If you can't run<br />
with big dogs then stay on the porch." Basic training isn’t for<br />
Tyler Vargas-Andrews<br />
Sergeant Tyler Vargas-Andrews was one of 18 marines<br />
wounded in the Kabul airport suicide bombing during<br />
the U.S. Military’s evacuations from Afghanistan in August<br />
of 2021. Today, he strives to do his best and serve others<br />
because he knows he has “an example to set for [his]<br />
friends and those impacted with the severity of what<br />
happened in Afghanistan.”<br />
What motivated you to serve?<br />
At a young age I saw what evil people could do to innocent<br />
lives close to me. So I wanted to be the one to put an end<br />
to that and help those less fortunate. Seeing the way my<br />
mother handled adversity positively within our own family<br />
showed me that I could be successful regardless of any<br />
personal struggles. I knew I had the mental and physical<br />
capacity to do what was necessary in a combat arms career<br />
field. I couldn’t let others risk their own lives and make<br />
sacrifices if I wasn’t willing to risk my own.<br />
What do you appreciate most about our military?<br />
The opportunity presented for teamwork, leadership, selfgrowth,<br />
and camaraderie. I went to middle school and high<br />
school next to a United States Air Force base and had a lot<br />
of friends with military families, which allowed me to grow<br />
up with an understanding of what serving your country and<br />
being a patriotic American means.<br />
How does your military experience affect your current<br />
job and/or life?<br />
The discipline and dedication to excellence has served as<br />
the catalyst to recover from my injuries sustained in the<br />
suicide bombing attack in Kabul. I’ve endured 43 surgeries<br />
and as a double amputee with nearly half my organs<br />
missing, I continue to go through physical and occupational<br />
therapy to sustain a new successful path in life, find ways to<br />
give back to my community, and positively impact lives like<br />
I did in the military.<br />
Favorite quote?<br />
“Success is to be measured not so much by the position that<br />
one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has<br />
overcome while trying to succeed.”—Booker T. Washington<br />
To all the veterans out there, thank you<br />
for your service!<br />

Taking Shape<br />
Spotlight on<br />
Sculptors<br />
by NELLY KISLYANKA<br />
Sculpting is the art of working materials into threedimensional<br />
objects. While most people envision marble<br />
or bronze figures, there are, in fact, more materials to<br />
play with: clay, wax, metal, fabric, glass, wood, and even<br />
rubber, just to name a few. Artists have been working these<br />
materials into masterpieces for centuries, with the earliest<br />
known sculptures dating back to 32,000 B.C. Since then,<br />
artists like Michelangelo and Rodin have pushed sculpting<br />
forward. Today, these four local artists are chiseling a<br />
name for themselves in the sculpting scene.<br />
Jim Lee<br />
jcleestudios.com<br />
Sculpting the human form in<br />
clay is Jim Lee’s passion, as well as<br />
teaching multi-day workshops and<br />
various classes at JCLee Studios in<br />
Auburn. His greatest achievement?<br />
“The satisfying expression on my<br />
student’s faces when they find what<br />
is waiting for them in the clay. When<br />
they say they can’t and find out they<br />
can…[it] gives me great pleasure.”<br />
What attracts you to sculpting?<br />
The endless learning that comes<br />
with it, and all the amazing, beautiful<br />
human forms, emotion, gender, and<br />
ethnicities. Clay is one of the most<br />
pliable and soothing medias; you<br />
can easily add or take away.<br />
How did you develop your<br />
artistic skills?<br />
I studied with world-renowned<br />
sculptor, Philippe Faraut. As my<br />
work improved, he encouraged<br />
me to start teaching and explain<br />
anatomy to others—how what’s<br />
under the skin influences<br />
expression and gesture. Almost<br />
every morning, I study something<br />
about anatomy; it fascinates me.<br />
How do you find inspiration?<br />
Every day and everywhere! I travel<br />
a lot and spend hours in airports<br />
watching people. I’m inspired<br />
by the symmetry of the human<br />
figure: challenging faces, poses,<br />
and people who break the “rules of<br />
thumb” in anatomy.<br />
Jennifer Johnson<br />
jjohnsonstudio.com<br />
Working from her<br />
Auburn studio,<br />
award-winning artist<br />
Jennifer Johnson<br />
welds and assembles<br />
distinctive<br />
sculptures—<br />
primarily horses<br />
and the human<br />
form, both big and<br />
small—from reclaimed metal, stone, wood,<br />
and found objects. In addition to several<br />
public art pieces around California and<br />
Washington, her work can also be seen<br />
at Fire & Rain Gallery in Folsom and by<br />
appointment at her studio.<br />
What attracts you to sculpting?<br />
Being able to express myself and ideas<br />
by making an emotional connection in a<br />
dimensional form that relays my passion.<br />
Creating a metal sculpture is a substantial<br />
format that will live long past my years. It’s<br />
fulfilling to create with such a hard material<br />
and make it look fluid. I love that it’s a<br />
challenge and creating work from materials<br />
that had a different history and now tell<br />
a new story. I enjoy taking the basics of<br />
perspective and changing them slightly.<br />
How did you develop your artistic<br />
skills?<br />
My passion to create has driven me to<br />
education, deliberate practice, and an open<br />
mind to learn new skills and experiment<br />
with old ones. I make personal goals and<br />
listen to constructive criticism then go<br />
outside my comfort zone to create unique,<br />
quality work. It takes a passion for hard<br />
work and perseverance.<br />
How do you find inspiration?<br />
Certain activities bring me joy: finding a<br />
tiny feather on a hike, people watching, love,<br />
singing in a place with great acoustics, or<br />
coloring with my grandchildren.<br />

Terrie Bennett<br />
terriebennett.com<br />
There’s nothing quite like<br />
creating a three-dimensional<br />
form that you can walk around,<br />
touch, and interact with.<br />
Sculpture creates a dynamic<br />
energy in a room with its<br />
presence. In working with<br />
smooth lines, texture, shadow,<br />
and light, you can create<br />
movement, which makes the<br />
sculpture really come to life in<br />
its environment.<br />
How did you develop your<br />
artistic skills?<br />
I was fortunate to have the best<br />
teachers around: self-taught<br />
artists who started developing<br />
their style in the ’60s and ’70s.<br />
One of the unique gifts they<br />
gave me was learning how to<br />
sketch three dimensionally in<br />
wire—a technique that gave me<br />
a lot of freedom in my work,<br />
as I could use a lot of open<br />
space in my sculpting and<br />
create movement, which is the<br />
challenge with a static form.<br />
How do you find<br />
inspiration?<br />
Nature is my muse. Oceans,<br />
mountains, and animals give us<br />
everything (color, movement,<br />
etc.)—all the elements used in<br />
art come directly from nature.<br />

Vallene<br />
Hardman<br />
vallene7art.com<br />
Accomplished artist Vallene Hardman<br />
creates baroque-style, larger-than-life<br />
sculptures that are full of contrast,<br />
movement, exuberant detail, deep<br />
color, grandeur, and surprise. The<br />
primarily biomorphic forms—made<br />
using ceramics, natural found objects,<br />
hardware cloth (wire mesh), various<br />
fabrics, paint, and polyurethane—are<br />
“both atomistic and wholistic, which<br />
reflects my interest in exploration and<br />
interaction of materials.” Locally, look for<br />
her work at Blue Line Arts in Roseville.<br />
What attracts you to sculpting?<br />
There is no illusion! Spatial art physically<br />
exists in our realm as an interaction of<br />
space and object, as do humans, and<br />
we respond and relate to the shared<br />
vulnerabilities and limitations inherent<br />
to physical matter. Neither sculpture,<br />
nor humans, can occupy the same<br />
space at the same time and both may<br />
shatter if dropped. We can walk behind a<br />
sculpture and touch the other side.<br />
How did you develop your artistic<br />
skills?<br />
Any skill is developed through work.<br />
Someone may naturally have more<br />
hand-eye coordination; however,<br />
skill develops through focused time<br />
and effort. My natural curiosity is a<br />
factor, as is an interest in the seen<br />
and unseen world around me—<br />
looking under every rock, creating<br />
impromptu art nonstop, and—as a<br />
child—noticing colors.<br />
How do you find inspiration?<br />
Inspiration finds me. I just need to<br />
notice and do something about it!<br />

Work<br />
It “In”<br />
5 Must-Try<br />
Winter Workouts<br />
by PAULINE ARROYO<br />
When temperatures drop and the days<br />
get shorter, your motivation to stay<br />
active can take a dip as well. It’s easy<br />
to want to stay inside and snuggle up<br />
under your covers. But moving your body<br />
can actually make the season brighter<br />
by improving your mood and giving<br />
you more energy. Don’t worry, we’re<br />
not going to leave you out in the cold.<br />
We’ve rounded up five fantastic indoor<br />
workouts to boost your winter routine.<br />
Rock Climbing<br />
1 Climbing isn’t just reserved for the great outdoors.<br />
Indoor climbing gyms are increasing in popularity as a<br />
way to try your hand at a new full-body activity in a safe<br />
environment. These spaces are also perfect for improving<br />
your skills when you can’t get out in nature. Granite Arch<br />
(granitearch.com) in Rancho Cordova offers some of the<br />
most natural indoor rock walls in North America to help you<br />
get a real feel for the sport. You can climb on your own or<br />
try one of their guided classes like Climbing 101, a beginnerfriendly<br />
course where you’ll learn belaying, basic climbing<br />
movements, and how to use the gym to the fullest—all<br />
while improving your coordination, gaining flexibility, and<br />
building muscles with little impact.<br />
Cardio Kickboxing<br />
2 If you’re looking for a workout that will get your heart<br />
pumping and provide you with practical skills, punch<br />
up your fitness goals with cardio kickboxing. Offered at<br />
THE STUDIO Martial Arts & Fitness (trainatthestudio.com)<br />
in Roseville, the 45-minute class is led by Master Amitis<br />
Pourarian, who’s an eighth-degree black belt and former USA<br />
Taekwondo team member. Using over 20 years of teaching<br />
experience, each class—meant to strengthen and tone the<br />
body, and clear the mind while enhancing your cardio<br />
endurance—includes a blend of self-defense, striking, and<br />
great music. For those looking for a serious calorie burn,<br />
you can expect to expend a whopping 850 calories per class.<br />

Yin Yoga<br />
3 Although, winter is hibernation<br />
season, it can also be one of the most<br />
stressful times of the year. Between<br />
adjusting to the colder, darker weather,<br />
end-of-the-year rush, and holiday hustle,<br />
we could all use a little relaxation. Add<br />
a little zen to your life with a soothing<br />
yin yoga class at Ohana Moon Yoga<br />
(ohanamoonyoga.com) in Cameron<br />
Park. This practice focuses on passive<br />
stretching, easing body tension, and<br />
improving flexibility. On top of giving<br />
yogis greater mobility, Gretta (Smith)<br />
Schmidt from Ohana Moon Yoga says<br />
yin classes are also beneficial for<br />
mental health, balancing hormones,<br />
and lymphatic drainage. Looking to<br />
complement your relaxation with an<br />
invigorating practice? The studio also<br />
offers yang yoga for a more energizing<br />
and strength-building routine.<br />
Spinning<br />
4 Ready to go for a spin? When<br />
the roads are too rainy or windchilled<br />
to bike on, head indoors to<br />
Folsom’s TrueNorth Cycle + Strength<br />
(truenorthcycle.com) for a TrueCycle<br />
class. Offered seven days a week, these<br />
45-minute cycling sessions are a oneof-a-kind<br />
experience where riders<br />
cycle to the beat of upbeat jams and<br />
incorporate choreography and upper<br />
body movements to ensure a full-body<br />
workout. The studio is kept dark to help<br />
you disconnect from the outside world<br />
and clear your mind. You can expect to<br />
sweat out between 200-800 calories per<br />
class while supporting your heart health<br />
and overall strength.<br />
Zumba<br />
5 Step up this season with a joyful<br />
Zumba class at Jammin’ Dance &<br />
Fitness (jammindance.com) in Diamond<br />
Springs. An hour session is filled with<br />
international music, dancing, toning,<br />
and good times. Instructor Kay Lenhart<br />
choreographs every routine and breaks<br />
down the moves in easy-to-follow steps<br />
and transitions, so no matter your level,<br />
you can keep up. Some classes include<br />
Zumba weights, or a chair-based practice<br />
called Zumba Sentao to kick the toning<br />
portion up a notch. Each session averages<br />
about 5,000-6,500 steps, so you’re sure<br />
to get your blood flowing and sweat<br />
dripping. On top of the usual benefits of<br />
cardio and coordination, Kay also says<br />
the classes are a great way to socialize<br />
and make friends.<br />

always-rotating craft<br />
tap list, fine wines,<br />
signature cocktails, and<br />

something to satisfy<br />
every hungry hiker.<br />

Forest<br />
Bathing<br />
The Japanese coined<br />
the term shinrinyoku,<br />
meaning “forest<br />
bathing”—the act<br />
of allowing your<br />
senses to be flooded<br />
by nature—in the<br />
early ’80s. A study<br />
conducted by the<br />
Environmental<br />
Protection Agency<br />
found that the average<br />
American spends 93%<br />
of their time indoors,<br />
so it’s no wonder<br />
why connecting with<br />
nature can have<br />
such powerful health<br />
benefits. Here are just<br />
a few of them:<br />
Decreased stress<br />
levels.<br />
—<br />
Lowered heart rate.<br />
—<br />
Lowered blood<br />
pressure.<br />
—<br />
Improved creativity.<br />
—<br />
Boosted immune<br />
system.<br />
So how does one<br />
“forest bathe”?<br />
It’s easy. The purpose<br />
is to go into nature<br />
with no objective,<br />
no destination, no<br />
technology, and simply<br />
open the senses to<br />
the sights, sounds<br />
and smells you find.<br />
Challenge yourself to<br />
see how many things<br />
you can notice about<br />
your surroundings, walk<br />
slowly or even sit, and<br />
simply “bathe” (immerse<br />
yourself) in the world<br />
around you.<br />

Stuff<br />
This month is all about the<br />
garage—one of my favorite<br />
places! While I try to live by the<br />
adage: “A place for everything<br />
and everything in its place,” we<br />
could all use a little assistance.<br />
Marshall Stockwell<br />
II Portable Speaker<br />
If you’ve read this<br />
column before, you<br />
know I love music. Even<br />
though I’ve installed<br />
sound systems in my<br />
garage, they tend to be<br />
a bit cumbersome, so I set out to find a Bluetooth<br />
speaker that spoke to me. Being a guitar “hack”<br />
(don’t call me a player—it’s an insult to those that<br />
really play!), this little Marshall speaker is perfect.<br />
It sounds great, offers 20 hours on a charge, fits<br />
anywhere, and includes bass, treble, and volume<br />
controls so you can rock out in the garage!<br />
$219.99, marshallheadphones.com<br />
Lifetime Wall-<br />
Mounted Folding<br />
Work Table<br />
My garage tends to get<br />
a bit messy, and while<br />
I have cabinets up in<br />
most of it, I needed a<br />
workbench for special<br />
projects and started<br />
searching. Boom! I found this one at Home Depot,<br />
ordered it, installed it, and—without a doubt—it’s<br />
my favorite thing in the garage (other than my<br />
car). Everyone who sees its storage capabilities<br />
runs out and buys one! Yep, it’s that cool! $300,<br />
homedepot.com<br />
Milliard Golf<br />
Organizer<br />
All my friends play<br />
golf and love it; I, on<br />
the other hand, have a<br />
problem with the game.<br />
I really stink at it; I<br />
mean it’s embarrassing.<br />
However, there’s no<br />
doubt that if I played,<br />
I would want to keep my golf stuff organized. I<br />
showed this to all my golfing buddies, and all I<br />
heard was, “I want one! Text me a link where I<br />
can buy it.” $99.99, amazon.com<br />

ASK THE<br />
EXPERT<br />
by BELLA NOLEN<br />
Q: WHAT CAN IV<br />
THERAPY BE USED FOR?<br />
A: IV therapy is used to help<br />
clients achieve numerous<br />
health and wellness goals,<br />
such as boosting metabolism;<br />
improving mood, energy,<br />
endurance, and recovery;<br />
cardiovascular support;<br />
reduction in allergens; and<br />
overall stress response and<br />
collagen [by] giving your skin<br />
a more youthful appearance.<br />
Regular IV supplementation<br />
can also assist with improving<br />
brain performance,<br />
mental clarity, weight loss,<br />
inflammation, and chronic pain<br />
or illness. What’s more, the<br />
experience is spa-like, which<br />
also has health benefits!<br />

@bodyandsolphototherapy<br />
Services or products you offer: We specialize<br />
in treating inflammatory and autoimmune skin<br />
conditions—eczema, psoriasis, hives (urticaria), and<br />
vitiligo—by focusing on a treatment called phototherapy,<br />
which uses ultraviolet light to decrease inflammation<br />
in the skin and internally. We offer full body units, hand<br />
and foot units, and targeted therapy, which is like a laser.<br />
In addition, we determine the root cause of our patients’<br />
health concerns through skin allergy testing, gut<br />
microbiome evaluation, and hormone testing. This type<br />
of holistic approach and thorough investigation is called<br />
functional medicine.<br />
What you enjoy most about your profession: Working<br />
with clients to find out what their skin condition is<br />
saying about their overall health. Sometimes a rash<br />
can be as simple as an exposure to an allergen like<br />
poison oak, but sometimes it means much more about<br />
underlying imbalance and inflammation. It can be a real<br />
puzzle! It’s always rewarding to work with people who<br />
are motivated to optimize their health and wellness.<br />
Fun fact about your company: We host evening vision<br />
board sessions, yoga, and other mindfulness practices.<br />
Customer service is: Priority. We are here to help<br />
people.<br />
First job: Leader at a kids’ nature camp.<br />
Favorite food: Avocado toast on homemade sourdough<br />
bread with fresh tomatoes, basil, and vinaigrette—but<br />
some nights, pizza!<br />
Favorite local restaurant: Simple Pleasures.<br />
Last big purchase: A targeted UVA/UVB phototherapy<br />
unit for the clinic.<br />

Party On!<br />
Holiday<br />
Hosting<br />
101<br />
by EMILY PETER-COREY<br />
As the end of the<br />
year approaches,<br />
so do celebrations.<br />
Whether it’s a casual<br />
or fancy affair with<br />
family or friends (or<br />
both!), there are some<br />
important details to<br />
dial in to ensure a<br />
flawless, fun party.<br />
BE OUR GUEST<br />
Your first step should be to compile your<br />
guest list, says Sandy Stringer of Strings &<br />
Champagne Events (strings-champagne.<br />
com). This will be the starting point<br />
for budget, overall feel, and menu. Is<br />
this a casual group of friends who are<br />
comfortable with each other or an elevated<br />
event where some guests will be strangers?<br />
MONEY MATTERS<br />
Next, and possibly most importantly,<br />
decide on a budget. “Oftentimes, people<br />
don’t know what it takes to plan, organize,<br />

| home & garden |<br />
and throw a party. Having a number in<br />
mind [can help you] from experiencing<br />
sticker shock,” explains Nidhana Perera<br />
of Paradise Parkway Event Productions<br />
(paradiseparkway.com). “Deciding how<br />
lavish you want the party to be will<br />
determine the average cost per guest,” she<br />
explains. Of course, the more casual the<br />
affair, the less cost per guest, but there’s<br />
something to be said for hiring extra<br />
help. “When it comes to preparing for<br />
your event, serving guests, or cleaning<br />
up, it’s great to have someone else help<br />
out. Event support [via] independent<br />
contractors with years of experience will<br />
do the heavy lifting and behind-the-scenes<br />
work, so you can relax at your holiday<br />
party,” explains Courtney Comstock at<br />
The Party Consultant (thepartyconsultant.<br />
com). Perera agrees, saying, “Hiring a<br />
professional will expose you to a wealth<br />
of information—creating less hassle and<br />
saving money and time in the process,<br />
which you would otherwise not have<br />
access to should you decide to DIY.” If<br />
you decide to split duties between hired<br />
help and yourself, be clear in which<br />
responsibilities belong to whom.<br />
SET THE SCENE<br />
Once a guest list and budget are set, theme<br />
and décor are next on the to-do list. “A<br />
fuller table always looks more festive, so<br />
adding chargers, plates, and salad plates, as<br />
well as two sets of glassware and flatware,<br />
will definitely do the trick,” says Stringer.<br />
She also advises to check your personal<br />
inventory well in advance and consider<br />
renting pieces. Rentals offer a variety of<br />
choices that can produce a cohesive and<br />
impressive look and is a better deal than<br />
buying brand new pieces. “To incorporate<br />
some holiday flair, add some color to your<br />
napkins and linens, and don't [scrimp] on<br />
candlelight,” explains Stringer. A warm<br />
glow from candles can really set the tone<br />
for a beautiful and intimate event.<br />
EAT, DRINK, & BE MERRY<br />
Now that the table is set, it’s time to start<br />
thinking about your menu. This factor<br />
depends on the overall feel of your party<br />
since options abound when it comes to<br />
food and drinks. Perera advises asking<br />
yourself what you envision: “a buffet<br />
dinner, potluck, a cocktail party filled<br />
with heavy appetizers, a food truck, or a<br />
three- or four-course sit-down dinner?”<br />
This is another piece of planning that<br />
can be done with way less stress if you<br />
decide to hire out. Caterers can save you<br />
from spending the party in the kitchen<br />
away from guests, and they often provide<br />
both full-service and pick-up options.<br />
If you’re on a budget, potluck is always<br />
in style and can be a fun way to bring<br />
guests together—just be sure to provide<br />
each guest with detailed instructions on<br />
what they’re in charge of bringing. This<br />
is also your opportunity to check for<br />
food allergies or preferences and to relay<br />
that information to those bringing food.<br />
For an extra special touch, Comstock<br />
recommends hiring a mobile bartender<br />
who can provide specialty cocktails in a<br />
fun setting.<br />
GO THE EXTRA MILE<br />
With the big factors out of the way, it’s time<br />
to start thinking about any “extras” you may<br />
want to invest in. “Flowers, balloons, tables,<br />
chairs, and specialty lounges, together<br />
with entertainment (DJ, band, experiential<br />
entertainment, etc.), will determine the<br />
complete environment you and your<br />
guests will be immersed in,” says Perera.<br />
Of course, a simple music playlist gets<br />
the job done, too, but entertainment can<br />
really set your party apart and keep guests<br />
talking way after the soirée is over.<br />
Stringer encourages small touches to<br />
make a big impact, saying, “A specialty<br />
napkin fold, cute little favor, and assigned<br />
seats with charming place cards can really<br />
top off a [party].” Comstock agrees, saying,<br />
“Parting gifts for guests are fun! These<br />
could range from store-bought items to<br />
something created specifically for your<br />
event or anything in between. Think of<br />
something that serves a dual purpose in<br />
keeping guests entertained and providing<br />
them with a fun memory of your event.”<br />
As the party winds down, Perera<br />
advises one very important tip: “The last<br />
thing you want to do is ask for help from<br />
a guest you invited to the party. No one<br />
attends a party wanting to work.” While<br />
the post-party cleanup [is] daunting, be<br />
sure to stay in the moment and enjoy<br />
your party, so you can spend maximum,<br />
meaningful time with guests during the<br />
much-loved holiday season.<br />

Be Our Guest<br />
BEST BOUTIQUE HOTELS<br />
by MEGAN WISKUS<br />
When it comes to lodging, big-name brands are taking a backseat.<br />
Boutique hotels—smaller (oftentimes less than 100 rooms), more<br />
intimate inns with a focus on stylish, destination-centric décor; abovepar<br />
amenities; and personalized service—are where travelers seeking<br />
something off-the-beaten-property path prefer to check in. We rounded<br />
up four of our favorites and provide all the know-before-you-go info here.<br />
BLACK BEAR LODGE<br />
CHECK IN: 1202 Ski Run Boulevard,<br />
South Lake Tahoe, 530-544-4451,<br />
tahoeblackbear.com<br />
CHECK OUT: Entering the lobby of<br />
Black Bear Lodge, one of South<br />
Lake’s hippest boutique hotels,<br />
you’ll immediately feel the<br />
warmth—from both the staff and<br />
the environs. Fresh from a facelift,<br />
the stylishly adorned space—<br />
which includes five guestrooms<br />
and four cabins—evokes a rustic,<br />
woodsy vibe with a touch of<br />
mountain-inspired class. Come for<br />
the plush beds, soft sheets, and<br />
stone-façade fireplaces; and stay<br />
for the abundance of amenities<br />
that run the gamut from an<br />
outdoor hot tub to unplugged<br />
activities (board games, books, and<br />
DVDs). Feeling famished? An<br />
on-site menu offers light bites and<br />
a bevy of award-winning beers and<br />
wines from the region’s top tasting<br />
rooms.<br />
WHY WE LOVE IT: Besides the<br />
central location (approximately<br />
half a mile from the lake, one mile<br />
to the Heavenly Gondola, and steps<br />
away from an array of eateries), the<br />
property itself is clean, cute, and<br />
cozy while boasting plenty of<br />
beauty. For travelers who can’t<br />
decide between a hotel or vacation<br />
rental, Black Bear Lodge offers the<br />
best of both at reasonable rates.<br />
EAT HERE: When it comes to<br />
comfort food, Thai cuisine tops the<br />

list. Dig into a bowl of the sweet-spicysavory<br />
tom kha soup or the yellow mango<br />
curry packed with fresh produce and your<br />
pick of protein at Thai on Ski Run<br />
(thaionskirun.com) and prepare to be<br />
impressed. The best part? It’s a two-minute<br />
walk from the hotel!<br />

HOTEL STRATFORD<br />
CHECK IN: 242 Powell Street, San<br />
Francisco, 415-397-7080, hotelstratford.com<br />
CHECK OUT: Modern and minimal, this<br />
eight-story property was originally<br />
constructed in 1910, so behind the seriously<br />
sleek décor, the modern walls hide a<br />
storied past. The newly renovated<br />
building—sited against a buzzing backdrop<br />
of Union Square and the Powell Street cable<br />
car line—features 95 micro rooms<br />
designed for complete comfort with plenty<br />
of urban pizzazz. A coffee and tea bar in the<br />
sleek lounge, contactless check-in, richly<br />
hued palette of dark blue, black, and brass,<br />
and industrial design make for a property<br />
that’s both fashionable and functional.<br />
WHY WE LOVE IT: Leave your car keys<br />
behind, because you’re within walking<br />
distance to San Francisco’s top spots to eat,<br />
drink, and explore, including Bartlett<br />
Hall (bartletthall.com)—the hotel’s sister<br />
establishment that makes house-brewed<br />
beers, barrel-aged cocktails, and uniquely<br />
crafted bites that certainly satisfy. Whatever<br />
brings you to the city, be it shopping,<br />
sightseeing, or imbibing, Hotel Stratford is<br />
the primo jumping off point with a price<br />
that’s right.<br />
EAT HERE: Step into ONE65 (one65sf.<br />
com)—a six-story culinary hub with French<br />
flair—and order one of everything:<br />
gourmet desserts, house-made frozen<br />
treats, daily fresh pastries, hand-crafted<br />
chocolates, cocktails, Michelin-rated tasting<br />
menus, and more. Luxurious without being<br />
pretentious, the years-in-the-making dining<br />
destination from James Beard Awardwinning<br />
Chef/Partner Claude Le Tohic is<br />
truly magnifique!<br />
VENICE V HOTEL<br />
CHECK IN: 5 Westminster Avenue, Venice,<br />
310-912-6488, venicevhotel.com<br />
CHECK OUT: Historically hip (the building,<br />
formerly known as the Waldorf, was built in<br />
1915) with an oceanfront address, Venice V<br />
is the place to stay if you appreciate creative<br />
NOVEMBER <strong>2022</strong> | stylemg.com 61
| travel |<br />
design, quirky period details, and<br />
proximity to the Pacific Ocean. With three<br />
distinct, design-driven room styles—breezy,<br />
beachy boho; urban surf/skate; and<br />
introspective artist—expect A+ amenities<br />
like Aesop bath products alongside walk-in<br />
showers, crisp linens, in-room Nespresso<br />
machines, and fluffy down pillows.<br />
WHY WE LOVE IT: Edgy and urban, just like<br />
Venice itself, this hotel is as cool as they<br />
come. Once hosting Hollywood hotshots<br />
like Charlie Chaplin, Clara Bow, and the<br />
Doors, it’s the primo place to soak up the<br />
So Cal sunshine while exploring the<br />
strand’s boho boutiques, lively boardwalk,<br />
and—of course—the beach.<br />
EAT HERE: Fans of fried chicken sandos,<br />
smash burgers, handspun milkshakes, and<br />
above-average grain bowls won’t want to<br />
miss The Win-Dow (thewin-dow.la). Just a<br />
short jaunt from the hotel, this LA hotspot<br />
is a no-frills locals’ favorite.<br />
THE LODGE AT BODEGA BAY<br />
CHECK IN: 103 Coast Highway One,<br />
Bodega Bay, 707-875-3525,<br />
lodgeatbodegabay.com<br />
CHECK OUT: For travelers seeking a<br />
sanctuary by the sea—one that’s perched<br />
on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean<br />
and truly reflects the wild, rugged spirit of<br />
the Sonoma Coast—look no further than<br />
The Lodge at Bodega Bay. Nearly all 83<br />
secluded rooms feature private patios,<br />
fireplaces, and coastal views, with<br />
comfy-as-a-cloud beds and plush<br />
bathrooms to boot. With rooms and views<br />
so nice, you may never want to leave;<br />
thankfully, there’s plenty of on-site<br />
activities: a spa that’ll whisk all your worries<br />
away; highly rated restaurant, Drakes<br />
Sonoma Coast (drakesbodegabay.com),<br />
that celebrates the region’s surplus of<br />
sustainably farmed produce, seafood,<br />
meats, and even honey (harvested from the<br />
hotel’s hives); infinity edge hot tub, pool,<br />
and spa; and bocce ball court.<br />
WHY WE LOVE IT: Luxurious without<br />
being bougie, The Lodge at Bodega Bay<br />
cuts zero corners when it comes to<br />
cleanliness and attention to detail. From<br />
the expertly manicured grounds (seven<br />
acres in total) dotted with wooden<br />
rocking chairs and fire pits aplenty, to<br />
the complimentary beach cruisers and<br />
well-appointed accommodations, it’s<br />
ideal for discerning travelers who want<br />
to stay somewhere that’s a destination in<br />
and of itself.<br />
EAT HERE: Flip-flop friendly Fishetarian<br />
Fish Market (fishetarianfishmarket.com)<br />
features sustainably, locally caught seafood<br />
and made-to-order coastal classics like fish<br />
& chips and clam chowder. Their spacious<br />
patio, oceanfront location, and<br />
commitment to the environment makes<br />
it a must for lunch or dinner.<br />

Blessing<br />
Executive Chef<br />
Scott’s Seafood Roundhouse<br />
824 Sutter Street, Folsom, 916-989-6711,<br />
scottsseafoodroundhouse.com<br />
Starting out as a dishwasher at the age of 15, Nick Blessing has<br />
worked his way up the culinary ranks. Currently, he serves as the<br />
executive chef at Scott’s Seafood Roundhouse, where he puts his<br />
own modern-upscale spin on seafood favorites like cioppino and<br />
fish & chips.<br />
YOUR LAST MEAL OUT WAS: The<br />
Double Juicy Burger at Moksa<br />
Barrel House.<br />
BEST PIECE OF COOKING ADVICE:<br />
Be yourself and never give up.<br />
FAVORITE MEAL TO MAKE AT<br />
YOUR RESTAURANT: Chargrilled<br />
branzino with farro, roasted<br />
shallots, summer squash,<br />
artichoke hearts, and<br />
buttermilk beurre blanc.<br />
FAVORITE COFFEE SHOP:<br />
Sociology. They roast their<br />
beans in-house and have<br />
the best quality coffee I’ve<br />
come across; plus, they<br />
make all their sourdough<br />
bread and pastries from<br />
scratch every day.<br />
FAVORITE PIZZA: For me, pizza<br />
is about simplicity and quality,<br />
and Campelli’s Pizza has the<br />
best crust and sauce you can<br />
get around town, hands down.<br />
Even though I’m a pepperoni<br />
guy, they have lots of fun<br />
creative pies to try.<br />
FAVORITE BURGER: The Divided<br />
Sky Neighborhood Tavern<br />
recently opened and I’ve<br />
never been disappointed with<br />
anything on their menu—<br />
you can taste the love and<br />
passion in every bite—but<br />
their cheeseburger (two,<br />

Dean Hiatt<br />
Executive Chef<br />
Poor Red’s Bar-B-Que<br />
6221 Pleasant Valley Road, El Dorado, 530-<br />
622-2901, poorreds.com<br />
Dean Hiatt’s journey into the culinary world<br />
started with washing floors, hood vents, and flat<br />
tops for $4 an hour at D’s Burgers in Shingle<br />
Springs (currently Crepe Town Café) at the age of<br />
14. Fast forward to today, and the accomplished<br />
culinarian—whose resume also includes cooking<br />
at Diablo’s Cantina and David Burke in Las Vegas<br />
and appearing on Food Network’s Supermarket<br />
Stakeout—is currently the executive chef at Poor<br />
Red’s Bar-B-Que.<br />
YOUR LAST MEAL OUT WAS: Lone Eagle Grill in Lake<br />
Tahoe. It’s one of my favorite places to visit, yearround.<br />
The view, no matter the season, is always<br />
breathtaking, and the flavors are always spot on.<br />
BEST PIECE OF COOKING ADVICE: Before serving a plate,<br />
take one thing off it. In other words, less is more—<br />
don’t overcomplicate it. When nature is in full peak,<br />
you should be able to let the flavors shine while<br />
only tweaking<br />
Poor Red's Bar-B-Que what needs to<br />
be enhanced.<br />
FAVORITE MEAL<br />
TO MAKE AT YOUR<br />
RESTAURANT: The<br />
old-fashioned<br />
chicken &<br />
waffles. It’s<br />
titled “oldfashioned”<br />
not<br />
because it’s an<br />
“old” dish, but<br />
because the<br />
flavors we put into it conjure up memories of an<br />
old-fashioned cocktail: house-made orange zest and<br />
candied pecan Belgium waffle, smoked rosemary<br />
butter, and Bulleit Rye-infused maple syrup.<br />
FAVORITE COFFEE SHOP: The Bean Barn’s toffee coffee<br />
is superb! It’s the go-to spot for all my staff as well.<br />
They’re such great members of our community and<br />
give back every chance they can.<br />
Spanky's Pizza<br />

my family<br />
would go for<br />
end-of-the-year<br />
baseball parties<br />
and birthday<br />
celebrations.<br />
I still love the<br />
“Works” pizza!<br />
FAVORITE<br />
DESSERT: Apple<br />
donuts, caramel<br />
apples, apple<br />
pie…you can’t go<br />
wrong looking<br />
for dessert in<br />
Apple Hill.<br />
FAVORITE UNDER-THE-RADAR RESTAURANT: Shanghai<br />
Chinese Restaurant. Even my friends from the<br />
East Coast wish they had one! I highly recommend<br />
Shanghai Chinese<br />
Restaurant<br />
the sesame chicken,<br />
Szechuan beef, won<br />
ton soup, and pork<br />
chow mein. I’ve been<br />
going there so long<br />
that they know my<br />
order the minute I<br />
walk in.<br />
FAVORITE SPECIAL-OCCASION SPLURGE RESTAURANT:<br />
The Independent is where I take folks from out<br />
of town. Their chef-inspired, seasonal menu<br />
never disappoints, and the dishes—especially the<br />
California chicken sandwich, apple pork chop, or<br />
duck breast (when they have it)—are always wellthought-out<br />
and perfectly executed.<br />
FAVORITE WINERY:<br />
Lewis Grace Winery<br />
has a cabernet<br />
with notes of jam,<br />
tobacco, chocolate,<br />
and fig that’s so<br />
delicious it warms<br />

your entire body. I<br />
grab a vintage bottle<br />

shrimp and red snapper saute’ed with mushrooms, jalapenos,<br />
onions and tomato sauce. Also not to be missed are the chicken<br />
mole’ enchiladas. A close friend happens to be a bit of a mole’<br />
connoisseur and tells me that Mexquite really gets it right!<br />
Offering Happy Hour Monday through Friday, and a great daily<br />
breakfast menu (try the Chilaquiles Poblanos!). The atmosphere is<br />
always lively and the beautiful outdoor patio is a great place to<br />
unwind after the long workday.<br />
Upon being seated you are greeted to a basket of chips and<br />
salsa. The only way to describe this salsa would to call it<br />
addicting – made fresh daily, Mexquite salsa, like all the dishes,<br />
make the perfect To-Go item for parties, football watching or<br />
anytime you feel like eating award winning Mexican fare.<br />
Last but certainly not least – The margaritas are made with<br />
agave, lime juice and tequila – all natural and arguably, the best<br />
in town!<br />
And, we offer Catering...perfect for all your holiday parties,<br />

of this area, combining warm summer nights and hot summer<br />
days with free-draining volcanic soil, is especially ideal for grape<br />
growing and allows us to produce the quality fruit needed for our<br />
complex, well balanced, and full-bodied wines.<br />
We invite you to our winery and vineyards to enjoy the beautiful<br />

Mango Cha-Cha Curry<br />
“<br />
It was one of the most beautiful dishes<br />
I’ve ever been served. Fresh, masterfully<br />
cut mango shaped into a curry-filled heart<br />
with potatoes, carrots, green beans, and<br />
shrimp made this yellow curry a literal<br />
showstopper; people even commented<br />
from the table across the walkway.<br />

In 2015, I spent about three months touring and<br />
climbing throughout Thailand. From Chang Mai in<br />
the north, to the bustling urban jungle of Bangkok,<br />
all the way to the coastal paradise of Railay, there<br />
was one dish that ruled them all: pad Thai. I ate it<br />
everywhere. In restaurants, on the street, practically<br />
off the floor. I loved it—and still love it—that much.<br />
My experience with Thai food didn’t start there, though. I<br />
was fortunate enough to try tom kha, a savory and spicy soup,<br />
when I was about 12 years old. It was one of the best moments<br />
in my culinary life and my first foray into to the cuisine.<br />
Now, whenever I go to a Thai restaurant for the first<br />
time, I always get one (if not both) of these dishes to see<br />
how they compare.<br />
My experience at Tong Thai Bistro was both surprising<br />
and delightful. Jod, the owner, is a top-notch human and<br />
true representation of the Thai hospitality and kindness that
Tom Kha<br />
Pad Thai<br />
made my experience in the country so<br />
memorable.<br />
As for the food? I ordered the fresh<br />
spring rolls to start. Unlike other<br />
Thai restaurants, Jod serves theirs<br />
with a sweet and spicy sauce, which<br />
accompanied the traditional peanut<br />
sauce beautifully.<br />
The tom kha came next, and it was<br />
everything I adore about it—savory,<br />
coconut milk broth infused with lemon,<br />
lemongrass, chili<br />
paste, and Thai<br />
spices alongside<br />
mushrooms,<br />
onions, cilantro,<br />
and chicken (I<br />
could’ve ordered<br />
it with shrimp,<br />
seafood, or tofu,<br />
too). My mouth<br />
is watering just<br />
writing this.<br />
The pad Thai<br />
followed—a healthy helping of rice<br />
noodles stir-fried with bean sprouts,<br />
green onions, eggs, garlic sauce,<br />
ground peanuts, and my pick of protein<br />
(shrimp). With a little lime on top, I was<br />
transported right back to Thailand.<br />
Then one of Jod’s specials: the mango<br />
cha-cha curry. When the plate came<br />
out, I literally said “WOW!” It was one<br />
of the most beautiful dishes I’ve ever<br />
been served. Fresh, masterfully cut<br />
mango shaped into a curry-filled heart<br />
with potatoes, carrots, green beans, and<br />
shrimp made this yellow curry a literal<br />
showstopper; people even commented<br />
from the table across the walkway.<br />
I love spicy food, and the level three<br />
was right at my<br />
comfort zone.<br />
If you’re spiceaverse,<br />
however,<br />
take it down a<br />
notch (or three).<br />
Every table<br />
raved about the<br />
food and said<br />
they would be<br />
back. Every one<br />
of them. If you’re<br />
looking for a<br />
memorable meal at a local hotspot<br />
with great ambience, even greater<br />
food, and an owner who cooks, serves,<br />
and treats you like a friend, then head<br />

MARKETS<br />
— by BELLA NOLEN<br />
Artisan markets with madeto-order<br />
provisions are always<br />
worth a visit—if not for the<br />
food, then for the specialty,<br />
locally crafted wares. Here are a<br />
few of our favorites.<br />
The Auburn Bodega<br />
937 Lincoln Way, Auburn, 530-820-<br />
3210, theauburnbodega.com<br />
While grabbing some seasonal produce<br />
and organic groceries, don’t forget to<br />
head to the deli for a sandwich, salad, or<br />
daily special—all made in-house!<br />
Ikeda’s California<br />
Country Market<br />
13500 Lincoln Way,<br />
Auburn, 530-885-4243,<br />

Owned by the Ikeda<br />
family, you’ll find a grocery<br />
store, deli, and baked goods,<br />
plus farm-fresh produce, a<br />
casual diner, and even apparel at this<br />
Auburn mainstay.<br />
The Market on Main<br />
585 Main Street, Main Street Placerville has welcomed another delicious dining<br />
destination: The Market on Main. This cozy spot offers handheld eats,<br />
canned and bottled beverages (alcohol included), and even gifts and<br />
groceries. After a stroll through Historic Placerville, my better half<br />
and I stopped in for a pick-me-up. I gravitated toward their special: lamb<br />
& beef gyro. A sturdy yet soft pita was smeared with a perfect serving<br />
of house-made tzatziki sauce (not too overwhelming) and loaded with<br />
warm meat, the market's fresh Greek slaw (lightly seasoned tomatoes,<br />
cucumbers, and red onions), feta, and crisp lettuce. On the other side of<br />
the table, my husband enjoyed his mushroom empanada stuffed with<br />
seasonal, local mushrooms, shallots, parmesan, and crème fraîche. It was<br />
piping hot and wrapped in a crispy, perfectly golden crust. But we didn’t<br />
stop there. Between us sat pretzel dog bites, akin to the classic—and<br />
always crowd-pleasing—pigs in a blanket. It was a race to the finish to<br />
see who could eat more, especially when dipped in the accompanying<br />
beer cheese. (Are there two better words than beer and cheese? No.) We<br />
ended up splitting them 50/50, but I’ll get him next time. The menu at<br />
The Market on Main is small but mighty, and there’s a lot of heart put into<br />
each dish. They offer a variety of empanadas and “dogs” (Polish, hot, and<br />
corn) with a picturesque patio to boot. — by EMILY PETER-COREY<br />

“I recently visited Dono dal Cielo<br />
(donodalcielo.com) in Newcastle<br />
and was absolutely blown away by<br />
their wines, particularly the 2020<br />
Viognier, with its notes of tropical<br />
fruit and perfect balance between<br />
sweet and tart lemons. It excites<br />
the palate and is well-structured<br />
without being drowned in oak. I’ll<br />
personally be enjoying it on Turkey<br />
Day!”—Marc Jensen, Sommelier,<br />
Hawks, 5530 Douglas Boulevard,<br />
Granite Bay, 916-791-6200,<br />
hawksrestaurant.com<br />
“Red wine lovers will rejoice<br />
over the 2020 Lytton<br />
Springs from Ridge<br />
Wines (ridgewine.<br />
com)—a blend that<br />
features 75% zinfandel,<br />
11% petite sirah, and 10%<br />
carignan to add depth and<br />
structure. The wine shows<br />
notes of ripe red and dark<br />
fruits (cherries, plums)<br />
with back-end notes of<br />
baking spices, tobacco, and<br />
pepper. It’s subtle on the<br />
tannins but still pronounced<br />
enough to complement<br />
Thanksgiving ham and turkey.”—<br />
Marc Jensen, Sommelier, Hawks, 5530<br />
Douglas Boulevard, Granite Bay, 916-<br />
791-6200, hawksrestaurant.com<br />
“The 2019 Sparkling Viognier<br />
from Adkins Family Vineyards<br />
(adkinsfamilyvineyards.com)<br />
is a perfect start to any holiday<br />
celebration. Dry with notes of<br />
pear, citrus, and apple, it strikes<br />
a perfect balance between<br />
bubbles and sweetness, and<br />
pairs well with charcuterie or<br />
the Turkey Day feast.” —Brent<br />

“The 2020 Clark & Telephone<br />
Pinot Noir from Napa’s Belle Glos<br />
(belleglos.com) is a beautiful<br />
dark ruby and reminds me of the<br />
holidays. It’s bold but an easy sipper<br />
for guests who don’t typically<br />
drink red wine. You’ll taste notes<br />
of cranberry and cherry along<br />
with clove, nutmeg, and holiday<br />
spices.”—Brent Whited, Owner,<br />

“Boeger Winery (boegerwinery.<br />

household. Their 2020 Barbera is<br />
especially smooth with fruity notes<br />
and a clean finish. This bottle will<br />
impress all the wine connoisseurs<br />
at your Turkey Day dinner, along<br />
with those new to drinking wine.<br />

PAIRINGS<br />
by MEGAN WISKUS<br />
What the Pros Pour<br />
When it comes to surviving<br />
the holidays, what you drink is<br />
equally as important as what you<br />
eat. Wondering what to pour<br />
at this year’s feast? Whether<br />
you prefer hops or grapes, the<br />
recommendations here are<br />
sure to be the talk of this year’s<br />
Turkey Day table.<br />
“Before the Thanksgiving<br />
feast, my family likes to<br />
start with beer. Our go-to is<br />
the seasonal Fir Ale from,<br />
Solid Ground Brewing<br />
(solidgroundbrewing.<br />
com). Easy drinking, with<br />
an ABV of 7%, it helps me<br />
forget about any troubles<br />
and focus on all the things<br />
I’m thankful for.”—Dan<br />

“Bigwig Brown from<br />
Jackrabbit Brewing Co.<br />
(jackrabbitbrewingcompany.<br />
com) is an American brown ale with<br />
a roasted character that perfectly<br />
complements roasted turkey. But<br />
with an ABV of 5.2%, it’s low enough<br />
in alcohol and smooth enough in<br />
taste that it can be enjoyed while<br />
you’re waiting for dinner, too.”—Justine<br />

“Looking to uncork a<br />
fantastic wine for your<br />
Thanksgiving feast?<br />
Personally, I’m reaching<br />
directly for the 2018<br />
Petite Sirah from<br />
Wise Villa Winery<br />
(wisevillawinery.<br />
com). Rich flavors of<br />
berries, mocha, clove,<br />
and smoky cedar pair<br />
perfectly with both white<br />
and dark turkey, while<br />
pepper-forward notes<br />
match well with herbinfused<br />
stuffing. Add in<br />
the deep color and bold<br />
finish, and you have a<br />
winning wine your guests will<br />
love.”—Justine Perez, Publican, 105<br />

“Served between 45-50<br />
degrees in a chalice glass,<br />
the Trappist Ale from Orval<br />
Brewery (orval.be/en) is a<br />
conversation beer…the kind<br />
of beer you slowly sip as<br />
you catch up with out-oftown<br />
cousins and family.<br />
The effervescent fruity<br />
nose and notes of biscuit,<br />
coriander, and spice with a<br />
little acidity from the yeast<br />
pair nicely with a cigar.”—<br />

“Thirsty Pretzels, an award-winning<br />
Munich dunkel from Auburn’s<br />
Crooked Lane Brewing Company<br />
(crookedlanebrewing.com), is<br />
lagered to perfection with notes of<br />
toffee, dark chocolate, and caramel<br />
with a smooth, clean finish. It’s sure<br />
to sway beer drinkers who think they<br />
don’t like ‘dark beers’ and pairs well with<br />
mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing,<br />
honey-baked ham, or turkey.”—Tyler<br />

• 1 tbsp. cooking oil of choice<br />
• 2 slices of tomato<br />
• 6 oz. turkey, sliced (combination of white and<br />

Simple Turkey Enchiladas<br />
Recipe submitted by Bennett’s Kitchen<br />
Bar Market, 1595 Eureka Road, Roseville,<br />
916-750-5150, bennettskitchen.com<br />
• 14 oz. can green enchilada sauce<br />
• 1/2 tsp. chili powder<br />
• 1/4 tsp. cumin<br />
• 1/2 tsp. salt<br />
• 1/4 tsp. pepper<br />
• 2-3 cups turkey, shredded<br />
• 4 oz. cream cheese, softened<br />
• 1 clove garlic, minced<br />
• 1 tbsp. fresh lime juice, optional<br />
• 4 oz. can diced green chiles<br />
• 8-10 flour or corn tortillas<br />
• 1 ½ cups Jack or Pepper Jack cheese,<br />
shredded<br />
• Cilantro, chopped, to garnish<br />
• Sour cream, to garnish<br />
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.<br />
Add about 1/3 cup enchilada sauce<br />
to the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan and<br />
set aside. In a medium bowl, mix<br />
chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper<br />
with the turkey. Stir in cream cheese,<br />
garlic, lime juice, and green chiles<br />
until combined. In a sauté pan, heat<br />
oil (just enough to coat the bottom)<br />
and warm tortillas, one at a time, for<br />
10 seconds to soften, then transfer<br />
to a plate. Spoon three tablespoons<br />
turkey mixture and one tablespoon<br />
cheese into each tortilla and roll it<br />
up like a burrito. Place in baking pan<br />
seam side down. Pour the rest of the<br />
sauce over the tortillas and top with<br />
remaining cheese. Cover with foil and<br />
bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and<br />
bake an additional 10-15 minutes, or<br />
until the cheese is nice and bubbly.<br />
Top with cilantro and sour cream.<br />
Form stuffing into two patties and set aside. Warm<br />
butter and oil in skillet on medium heat. Add the<br />
stuffing patties and cook each side until crispy.<br />
Remove from heat and transfer to a plate. Add<br />
tomato slices to the hot skillet; once warm, place<br />
them on top of the stuffing patties. Heat turkey, then<br />
place on top of the tomatoes. Poach two eggs in<br />
simmering water until desired doneness. Place on<br />
top of the turkey. Top with sage hollandaise sauce<br />
and garnish with cranberry sauce.<br />
Sage Hollandaise Sauce<br />
• 4 egg yolks<br />
• 3 ½ tbsp. lemon juice<br />
• Dash of white pepper<br />
• 1 tbsp. hot water (plus more, if needed)<br />
• 1 cup butter, melted<br />
• ¼ tsp. salt<br />
• ½ tsp. dried sage<br />
Use a double boiler if you have one. If not, put water<br />
in the bottom of a saucepan and rest another pan<br />
inside the first. Do not let the water touch the top<br />
pan. If it does, dump water out.<br />
On a low heat, simmer the water. In the top pan,<br />
whisk yolks, lemon juice, pepper, and water. While<br />
whisking, add melted butter in a very slow stream. If<br />
sauce thickens too much, add another teaspoon of<br />
hot water. If still too thick, add one more teaspoon<br />
of hot water. Keep whisking until butter is thoroughly<br />
blended with the eggs. Add salt and sage and then<br />
remove from heat. Serve immediately or keep warm<br />
with a lid until serving.<br />

over low heat and place the bread slices<br />
cheese-side down. Once toasted, remove<br />
bread from the skillet. Begin building the<br />
