Whether it’s the work perks, camaraderie with fellow co-workers, or a passion for the business’ product or service, there are many components that play into a company’s “cool” factor. Where we live, we’re lucky to have a ton of places that meet all the criteria above, plus more, which was the inspiration behind this month’s feature. Starting on page 39, you can read about 17 places headquartered here that anyone would be lucky to work at. Some have been around for over a century, others started small and are now internationally known, and a few have dog-friendly digs or do impressive amounts of community service. I’m pretty positive there’s a company, and office culture, that’ll strike a chord with you. And if you happen to be job hunting, word on the street is some are currently hiring! Wherever you’re at in your professional or personal journey, let this issue be a reminder that it’s never too late to flip the script and try something new. Cheers!

KNEE DEEP BREWING COMPANY’S TANILLA PORTER<br />
ABV: 6.3%<br />
While you’re dying by chocolate, why not be revived by vanilla? Auburn’s beloved Knee<br />
Deep Brewery makes a Tanilla Porter that delivers amazing aromas of coffee, followed<br />
by a smooth chocolate flavor, and delicate intensity of grade A Tahitian vanilla beans.<br />
While the beer looks dark and<br />
Spanish for “mountain vines,” Plymouth-based Terra d’Oro Winery—home of Montevina—<br />
has been crafting deeply flavored, robust wines that capture the unique character of<br />
Amador County for over 50 years. For more info, visit montevina.com.<br />
Montevina Barbera 2016<br />
ABV: 14.5%<br />
OVERALL RATING: 5<br />
TASTING NOTES: Pours a sultry, deep<br />
violet; medium-bodied; luscious fruit<br />
flavors of black cherry, blackberry,<br />
and pomegranate with toasty oak<br />
characteristics; dry with soft tannins and<br />
just enough acidity; perfect alongside<br />
pizza, pasta, or a cheese plate<br />
PRICE: $12.84<br />
PURCHASE: Raley’s<br />
OVERALL RATING is the average score (out of 5) given by <strong>Style</strong> staff tasters. Ratings should be taken with a grain<br />
of salt, as we are by no means “experts”—just hard-working employees who enjoy imbibing.<br />
bitter, don’t be fooled; with an<br />
IBU (international bitterness<br />
unit) of only 30, it falls pretty<br />
low on the scale. Much like this<br />
month’s recipe, it won’t sit<br />
heavy and pairs particularly<br />
well with sweet treats, thanks<br />
to a subtle carbonation<br />
that allows it to go down<br />
easy. While Knee Deep is<br />
mostly known for their IPAs<br />
and other hoppy beers, this<br />
offering demonstrates the<br />
brewery’s ability to produce<br />
other styles with great<br />
success.<br />
