Style Magazine October 2020

Confession: My first cocktail was a Tokyo Tea—and no, I wasn’t 21 yet. Thanks to my older sister who looks enough like me, I was able to start bar hopping much younger. Hopefully my daughter doesn’t follow in my rebellious footsteps, and if she does, let’s hope she has better taste, because the electric green Tokyo Tea isn’t exactly the most sophisticated of adult beverages. The good news? Maturity has made me appreciate alcohol—as opposed to its effects—and the complexities of what can be done when it’s mixed, muddled, shaken, and stirred with fresh-squeezed fruits, syrups, or sodas. Current cocktail favorites include Negronis, homemade jalapeño-cucumber margaritas (courtesy of my lingering summer garden), and well-made Manhattans. I still don’t discriminate when it comes to spirits, but at least I’ve graduated from pouring them all into the same glass, right? Speaking of liquor, this month’s feature story, “Drink Up,” is all about alcohol. Pour yourself something strong and then turn to page 53 for 22 must-try cocktails (including the one on our cover from Land Ocean), plus some fun, informative facts about each establishment where they’re available. We also introduce you to four of our region’s most beloved bartenders, recommend home bar must-haves, spotlight local distilleries, and share a handful of beautiful (and boozy!) recipes courtesy of mobile mixologists. No matter how ominous the political (and actual) climate may be, at least we have cocktails to carry us through. In honor of autumn, we have a cornucopia of content dedicated to one of the most special seasons. Turn to The 10 Spot (page 18), for creative ways to welcome it—think Apple Hill adventures, foliage-filled drives, and harvest-inspired cooking classes. Speaking of autumnal eats, this issue’s Taste department (page 78) includes must-make recipes that highlight fall’s most versatile vegetable: the squash. Whether stuffed, roasted, or served as soup, this prized produce pairs perfectly with cooler temps. For all the pumpkin spice latte lovers out there, we have you covered, too. Flip to page 80 for “5 Perfect Pumpkin Drinks” you’ll want to sip all season long. Happy fall, y’all—and remember: This too shall pass, so keep your spirits up...and flowing. Cheers! — Megan // megan@stylemg.com @meggoeggowaffle

shaken, and stirred with fresh-squeezed fruits,<br />

For those itching to get away without going terribly<br />

—Joe E. Lewis far away, we share five close-to-home destinations that<br />

are waiting to be (safely) discovered on page 44. For each<br />

locale, writer Suzie Dundas proposes places to stay and<br />

things to do, along with tips on finding up-to-date health guidelines. With more people able<br />

to work and learn remotely—so long as the Wi-Fi signal is strong—may I suggest a midweek<br />

escape? It may be just what the mental health doctor ordered.<br />

Autumn<br />

Adventures<br />

The temperature’s beginning to drop, the leaves are beginning<br />

to fall, and the world’s beginning to smell like cinnamon.<br />

It’s autumn once again—let the adventures begin.<br />

by TARA MENDANHA<br />

The Flower Farm Nursery & Gift Shop<br />

Gallery at 48 Natoma<br />

What screams fall? Lots of things,<br />

actually—one of them being pumpkin<br />

patches. The Flower Farm Nursery &<br />

Gift Shop’s (flowerfarmnurseryandgifts.<br />

com) patch of pumpkins and gourds, as<br />

well as corn stocks, fall décor, scarecrow<br />

contests, and photo-ops will delight<br />

the entire family. For something a little<br />

different, The Gallery at 48 Natoma<br />

(folsom.ca.us/parks/events/events/<br />

default.asp) is displaying a glass pumpkin<br />

patch featuring thousands of locally<br />

made, hand-blown glass pumpkins in all<br />

shapes, colors, and sizes on <strong>October</strong> 10<br />

and 11 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m.<br />

Up to your ears in pumpkin<br />

numerous growlers<br />

Seasonal stouts,<br />

are available to<br />

Topper with all the flavors<br />

of a German Oktoberfest; or<br />

Moksa Brewing’s Leather Drinkin’<br />

Shorts, a traditional festbier made with all<br />

German malts, hops, and yeast, you’ll soon be<br />

swapping lattes for lagers.<br />

New Expansion. Same Great Care.<br />

The new expansion at Sutter Roseville Medical Center is<br />

growing the way we care for our community. We’ve expanded<br />

our emergency department, making it the largest in the entire<br />

Sutter network. You’ll also find a new intensive care unit, more<br />

cardiac care and a lush healing garden. All this and more, so<br />

we can help our patients heal mind, body and soul.<br />

Your health is our top priority, so we’re taking extra precautions<br />

to help keep you safe. All patients and staff are screened prior<br />

to entering our hospital and masks are required.<br />

It’s a thousand things, big and small.<br />

To learn more, visit sutterhealth.org/SutterRoseville<strong>2020</strong>.


Autumn Adventures<br />

Hope Valley<br />

Yellow, orange, and red hues are everywhere<br />

this time of year, but for truly spectacular views<br />

of those familiar fall colors, drive to Coloma<br />

along the American River, up to Carson Pass<br />

and Hope Valley (we recommend extending<br />

your outing with a stay at Wylder Hope Valley),<br />

or down to Sutter Creek and Jackson for a<br />

sampling of nature’s most vibrant display.<br />

What would fall look like in our area without<br />

Apple Hill? Hard to imagine—so let’s not.<br />

Apple Hill is, after all, home to numerous<br />

u-pick farms (apples, pumpkins, grapes,<br />

and pears), apple- and pumpkin-flavored<br />

everything (from cider donuts to pumpkin<br />

pie), bed and breakfasts like Ponderosa Ridge<br />

or Eden Vale Inn, award-winning wines, pony<br />

and hay rides, and even trout fishing! It’s the<br />

quintessential autumnal experience. Plan your<br />

trip at applehill.com.<br />

Boarding on the Lake in Granite Bay<br />

It’s one thing to enjoy the season while cruising<br />

in your car; it’s another thing experiencing it on<br />

a horse. Horseback riding is a great way to<br />

enjoy fall and take in the crisp air and turning<br />

leaves on Folsom Lake trails. Boarding on the<br />

Lake in Granite Bay is taking reservations for<br />

guided trail rides (boardingonthelake.com/trailrides-),<br />

as is Lakeside Equestrian Center in Loomis<br />

(lakesideequestriancenter.com).<br />

If staying indoors is more your jam, veg out on<br />

the couch with some of the finest fall flicks in<br />

the form of When Harry Met Sally, Love Story,<br />

Hocus Pocus, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, Sleepy<br />

Hollow, Ghostbusters, You’ve Got Mail, or Dead<br />

Poets Society—all available on Amazon Prime.<br />

Like we needed this year to get any scarier,<br />

Halloween’s now here! The American River<br />

Conservancy (arconservancy.org/events) is<br />

organizing a Halloween Cemeteries Walking<br />

Tour on <strong>October</strong> 31 from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. that’ll<br />

take you through the Jewish<br />

Cemetery, Uniontown Cemetery,<br />

and Cold Springs Cemetery.<br />

Yes, the leaves are technically<br />

“falling,” but there’s still gardening<br />

to be done. Catch an online gardening<br />

class (“All About Apples and Pears”<br />

on <strong>October</strong> 10 and “Putting Your<br />

Garden to Bed” on <strong>October</strong> 31) from<br />

UCCE Master Gardeners of El Dorado<br />

County (mgeldorado.ucanr.edu).<br />

Then, pick up a 2021 Gardening Guide<br />

and Calendar presented by the UC<br />

Master Gardeners of Placer County,<br />

which encourages best gardening<br />

practices throughout the year (pcmg.ucanr.<br />

org/2021_calendar).<br />

Fancy some new woolens for the winter? How<br />

about making ‘em yourself! Lofty Lou’s Yarn Shop<br />

in Placerville (knit.us) has all the paraphernalia<br />

you need while Auburn Needleworks<br />

(auburnneedleworks.com) has beginning and<br />

advanced crocheting and knitting classes,<br />

and Got your Goat Yarn Studio in Roseville<br />

(gotyourgoatyarn.com) has private and group<br />

classes. You’ll be knitting up a storm in no time.<br />

GIVING BACK<br />

Fall for<br />

Community<br />

Coming Together During COVID-19<br />

BY TARA MENDANHA<br />

Ever since the pandemic began, our ability to come together as a<br />

community has been curtailed for the most part. But leave it to the<br />

human imagination and creativity to come up with ways around what<br />

seems like an impossible hurdle, and you’ve got cleverly crafted events<br />

designed to keep us connected. We’ve found some such events that prove<br />

physical distancing doesn’t mean life comes to a standstill. Whether it be<br />

from our homes or safely in public, we can still partake in, support, and<br />

give back to our beloved communities.<br />

Roseville BikeFest is back to spread the<br />

message that helmets save lives. Things will<br />

look a little different this year, and there<br />

actually won’t be any bikes—but there will<br />

be helmets (while supplies last)! The event on<br />

<strong>October</strong> 10 and 21 will allow you to drive by<br />

in your car and receive free helmets for the<br />

family. There will also be goodie bags for kids,<br />

and coupons for free bike safety inspections<br />

from local bike shops. roseville.ca.us/bikefest<br />

The beloved Placer Artists’ Studios<br />

Tour is still going to take place this<br />

November (6–8 and 13-15). Participating<br />

artists will display their works virtually and<br />

there might even be open studio tours by<br />

appointment. This recurring event gives you<br />

the chance to meet with artists, see how<br />

they work with various mediums, peruse<br />

and purchase art, and enjoy some of Placer<br />

County’s finest creations. placerarts.org<br />

Run Rocklin is going virtual this year. How do you “run” virtually? Simple. Choose<br />

between three distances (5K, 12K, or half marathon), challenge your friends and<br />

family to sign up with you, and do your run/walk between <strong>October</strong> 25-November<br />

8. You can even upload your results. The best part? You can run, jog, or walk on<br />

the road, on the trail, on the treadmill, at the gym, or on the track—and proceeds<br />

benefit the Matt Redding Foundation. runrocklin.com<br />

In lieu of Soroptimist International of Folsom/El Dorado Hills’ annual<br />

Destination Dinner fundraiser, they’re hosting an Online Fall Auction from<br />

<strong>October</strong> 1-4 to raise money for their Live Your Dream Award and Dream It, Be<br />

It programs—which help mentor at-risk high school-aged girls and provide<br />

funding for women to continue their education. Attendees will have a chance<br />

to virtually bid on various auction items like diamond jewelry, patio furniture,<br />

holiday baskets, etc. or make a monetary donation. charityauction.bid/sifedh<br />

SPOTLIGHT on<br />

David Lobenberg<br />

by HEATHER L. NELSON<br />

Beginning his studies in meteorology<br />

at UCLA in the ’60s, the horrors<br />

of integral calculus and quantum<br />

mechanical physics soon steered<br />

David Lobenberg toward the College<br />

of Letters and Art. With a packed<br />

portfolio of drawings at the end of<br />

the semester, he was accepted into<br />

their art program where he’d earn<br />

his bachelor’s and master’s degrees.<br />

“I discovered I was smitten with<br />

watercolor at the age of 16, after my<br />

parents signed me up for a class<br />

taught by Richard Yip who painted<br />

‘wet on wet’—a very difficult and<br />

lovely technique,” shares Lobenberg.<br />

“There are precious few options to<br />

correct or make color changes with<br />

watercolor; and, when mastered, the<br />

medium has a beautiful, spontaneous,<br />

and translucent life to it.”<br />

Previously exhibiting his work at<br />

Elliott Fouts Gallery and Archival<br />

Gallery, the artist now sells most<br />

of his work through portraiture<br />

commissions and via his<br />

online California Vibe School of<br />

Watercolor art courses and Zoom<br />

workshops. He’s also been featured in<br />

prominent publications—including<br />

Southwest Art and Watercolor<br />

Artist—and served as an on-air expert<br />

at the KVIE Art Auction since its first<br />

broadcast in 1998.<br />

HLN: WHAT IS YOUR ARTISTIC<br />

STYLE?<br />

DL: I work in pencil, charcoal,<br />

acrylic, and—within the past<br />

five years—mostly watercolor. I<br />

especially like portraiture and<br />

have developed a very expressive,<br />

colorful, and energetic style that I’ve<br />

coined California Vibe Watercolor<br />

Portraiture. I’ve conducted<br />

workshops on this across the U.S.<br />

and Canada, which my artistic life revolved around until COVID-<br />

19, after which my workshops moved to Zoom and ruzuku.com. I<br />

love teaching my style to fellow watercolor enthusiasts. My favorite<br />

definition of the medium, “controlling the flood,” came from<br />

the pen of José Montoya—once poet laureate of Sacramento and<br />

member of the Royal Chicano Air Force.<br />

HLN: HOW DID YOU FIRST DISCOVER YOUR TALENT?<br />

DL: I grew up with a pencil in my hand. When I was in second grade<br />

living in Stockton, the school nurse contacted my parents expressing<br />

concern that I did all my creations in pencil, shying away from color<br />

crayons and paint. Through the years, as they witnessed my talent<br />

blossom, the nurse’s concern became something to laugh about.<br />

I later realized that at that young and tender age, I had an innate<br />

appreciation and interest in controlling my dark, middle, and light<br />

values as I drew! During my workshops, I often say “value does ALL<br />

THE WORK and color takes ALL the credit.” Value control is the<br />

bedrock foundation of drawing and painting.<br />

Flower Power<br />

HLN: YOU BEGAN IN GRAPHIC DESIGN. WHAT LED YOU<br />

TO FINE ART?<br />

DL: I entered the workforce as a budding graphic designer in Los<br />

Angeles and put my art sensitivities to work to earn a living. I was<br />

in this business for about 30 years, through<br />

which I met and married my wife, Cheryl.<br />

We’re both graphic designers and established<br />

Lobenberg Graphics in Sacramento in 1982,<br />

but I’d often use my painting talent for<br />

clients like Mercy Hospital, the California<br />

Worried<br />

Yours Truly<br />

Brush Man<br />

Bon Jour!<br />

Chamber of Commerce, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Sacramento Sports<br />

Commission, and the Sacramento Kings. I’ve always seen that part of my business, in<br />

addition to my part-time teaching gig at Sacramento City College as an adjunct art<br />

professor, as the bridge from graphic designer to fine artist.<br />

at one of the locals’ favorites:<br />

Casa Baeza (casabaezatruckee.<br />

Why We Love It: This trail has<br />

shady places to rest, beautiful<br />

wildflowers, and pictureperfect<br />

views of Donner Lake;<br />

For more information, visit<br />

alltrails.com/trail/us/california/donner-peak-trail.<br />

plus, it can be easily extended<br />

for added mileage.<br />

Trail Notes: Bring plenty of<br />

water, sunscreen, and layers;<br />

hiking boots recommended.<br />

The trail disappears at the<br />

summit, so find the path of<br />

least resistance and expect to<br />

scramble on granite. It’s worth<br />

it. If you pack it in, pack it out.<br />

Neck gaiter: These protect your<br />

neck and face from the cold<br />

and wind, while also offering UV<br />

protection.<br />

Energy bar: Long-lasting and<br />

provides a good punch of energy.<br />

Map & compass: If you learn how<br />

to use these, they can get you<br />

out of a bind.<br />

FUN FACT ABOUT YOUR COMPANY: I<br />

started the business from scratch after<br />

FUN FACT ABOUT YOUR COMPANY: In caring for my parents, while balancing<br />

work and family, I realized how challenging and time-consuming it can be.<br />

Finding trustworthy transportation wasn’t always easy; in fact, the services<br />

Q: WHAT ARE SOME BENEFITS TO<br />

ARTIFICIAL GRASS?<br />

A: There are three main benefits to<br />

using artificial turf: little water usage, no<br />

maintenance or associated costs, and it<br />

stays green year-around. Artificial turf<br />

is not only drought-friendly but leaves<br />

you with a desirable space, unlike other<br />

drought-tolerant yards; in addition, no<br />

maintenance means you can focus on the<br />

things you enjoy doing in your yard, like<br />

spending time with friends and family.<br />

Q: WHEN IS THE IDEAL TIME FOR<br />

ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT?<br />

A: The American Association of<br />

Orthodontists (AAO) recommends a<br />

check-up with an orthodontist no later<br />

than age seven. Braces usually begin<br />

between the ages of eight and 14 when a<br />

child has lost most of their primary teeth<br />

and the majority of permanent teeth<br />

have grown in. Although childhood is<br />

the ideal time to align teeth, more adults<br />

are opting for orthodontic treatment and<br />

coming away with excellent results. The<br />

AAO notes that one in five orthodontic<br />

patients is currently over age 18.<br />

<strong>Style</strong> Files<br />

The Future of Design<br />

by KERRIE L. KELLY, FASID<br />

In my latest trend research with the National Kitchen & Bath<br />

Association (NKBA), several ideas bubbled to the surface. We<br />

discovered that form is following function in a whole new way,<br />

accommodating not just actual use but serving the way different<br />

generations, individuals, and family units design their home<br />

space—especially kitchens and baths. Here, we share the four<br />

overarching themes that emerged.<br />

want their kitchens to promote human<br />

interaction—and the connected devices,<br />

appliances, and systems will be in place<br />

to serve that end. Open-plan kitchens<br />

will be inviting, cozy, and warm—perhaps<br />

to take the edge off all the tech—and will<br />

need to work for different styles and<br />

skill levels of cooks. For 82%, inclusion<br />

is important, especially with visibility<br />

from the kitchen to other parts of the<br />

living space. Other top priorities? Spaces<br />

that are conducive to entertaining and<br />

the need for strong Wi-Fi and Internet<br />

connection to call up recipes, cooking<br />

inspiration, and instruction.<br />

Connected Living<br />

It’s easy to assume that “connected<br />

living” means connected devices, Wi-<br />

Fi-enabled products, smart appliances,<br />

and home theater. But because the<br />

world has become so “connected” in<br />

the technology sense, it’s important<br />

to emphasize the connection among<br />

people, too—something most of us<br />

crave now more than ever. Homeowners<br />

Simplified Living<br />

The days of tchotchke-filled rooms<br />

are becoming a thing of the past, so<br />

appropriate storage becomes key. Some<br />

80% of respondents said minimizing<br />

clutter, cleaning, and a sense of<br />

organization is a critical design request;<br />

69% want their bathrooms to be an<br />

escape; and 61% design spaces for easy<br />

meal prep—think plenty of countertops,<br />

easy access to tools and ingredients, and<br />

non-congested layouts. This includes<br />

utilizing cabinetry that organizes<br />

more in less space and specifying<br />

low-maintenance material choices or<br />

commercial finishes and fabrics that are<br />

easy to clean and long-wearing.<br />

Living in Place<br />

The concept of “living in place” works<br />

for everyone—today, tomorrow, and for<br />

multiple generations living in the same<br />

dwelling. Among designers and architects,<br />

67% expressed the desire for clients to<br />

remain in the family home as the top<br />

factor influencing this type of design. This<br />

was followed by 65% who said ensuring<br />

the bathroom is a safe and comfortable<br />

space for all generations, and 59% saying<br />

kitchens that are safe and easy for all ages<br />

and skill levels to use. Among the top<br />

design solutions are non-slip flooring<br />

or tile in the bathroom, tub, and shower;<br />

putting a seat in the shower; and zeroclearance<br />

shower entry or no doors,<br />

wider doorways, and attractive, noninstitutional-looking<br />

grab bars.<br />

Healthy Living<br />

Finally, the fourth major influence,<br />

which is becoming increasingly crucial<br />

in today’s environment is healthy living.<br />

Healthy lifestyles include a deeper<br />

connection with nature via maximum<br />

views to the outdoors, taking advantage<br />

of morning light, and balancing<br />

circadian rhythms with lighting; wide,<br />

zero-entry doorways to outdoor areas;<br />

selecting natural materials, like warm<br />

woods, natural stones, and reclaimed<br />

woods and metals; and quite significantly,<br />

according to the research, healthy eating.<br />

To meet these needs, design solutions for<br />

the kitchen include more refrigerator<br />

space and flexible cool drawers to<br />

accommodate fresh produce, meats,<br />

and dairy; giant sinks to clean all of that<br />

produce; integrated areas to prep meals;<br />

and recycling and composting centers.<br />

In the bathroom, health and wellness<br />

elements include body jets in the tub<br />

or shower, aromatherapy, a sauna,<br />

chromatherapy, and shelves for candles.<br />

Some even cited a float tank for sensorydeprivation<br />

therapy among elements<br />

promoting the bathroom as a spa-like<br />

place to escape, relax, and heal the body.<br />

something for everyone, even if<br />

you like different activities. Wildlife<br />

and outdoor enthusiasts will love<br />

kayaking through Dinosaur Caves<br />

near Shell Beach or spotting massive<br />

elephant seals in San Simeon, while wine<br />

aficionados will enjoy a gentle winery<br />

cycling tour through the Edna Valley or<br />

picnic at one of Paso Roble’s picturesque<br />

sleeps six comfortably and<br />

includes access to outdoor fire<br />

pits, plus a communal table, locally roasted<br />

coffee, and Western chic décor.<br />

DON'T MISS: If cycling isn't your thing, book<br />

the zipline tour with Margarita Adventures<br />

(margarita-adventures.com)—it soars over<br />

pinot noir vines and pairs well with a<br />

reserve tasting at nearby Ancient Peaks Winery (ancientpeaks.com). Be<br />

sure to make reservations for both, since capacity is limited.<br />

HEAD TO THE<br />

NEVADA SIDE<br />

Lake Tahoe is split<br />

between California<br />

and Nevada, and the<br />

Nevada side is arguably<br />

the prettier of the two.<br />

That's because much of<br />

the shore is protected<br />

land with a plethora of public beaches, parks, and hiking trails<br />

hugging the shore. For a beautiful outdoor adventure, walk or bike<br />

the new Tahoe East Shore Trail, which runs past some of the best<br />

views in Tahoe. And whether you stay on the north shore (in Incline<br />

Village) or the south shore (in Stateline), there are plenty of breweries,<br />

WHERE TO STAY: Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe<br />

Resort, Spa & Casino (hyatt.com; search<br />

"Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe") offers a private<br />

beach on the north shore, but Edgewood<br />

Tahoe Resort (edgewoodtahoe.com) is near<br />

many of the casinos and restaurants on the<br />

southern end of the lake.<br />

DON'T MISS: You don't have to ski to get a<br />

take the 2.4-mile ride up the Heavenly<br />

Mountain Gondola (skiheavenly.com/<br />

which operates yearround.<br />

Just remember:<br />

Wait times may be<br />

longer than normal,<br />

TRY A NEW WINE COUNTRY<br />

If you live in the Sacramento area, you've<br />

probably been to most of the wineries in<br />

Napa Valley. So instead, head south. The<br />

Monterey County AVA has more than 200<br />

wineries within its borders. And because<br />

there's such a wide range of terrain, you'll<br />

find a wine to suit most palates, from the<br />

whites of the Chalone AVA (perfect for<br />

people who like a high minerality to their<br />

vinos) to the full-bodied cabs and merlots<br />

or shorten the walk (and avoid having to<br />

designate a DD) by visiting the various<br />

tasting rooms in downtown Carmel or<br />

Monterey.<br />

WHERE TO STAY: Carmel's family-owned<br />

Hofsas House Hotel (hofsashouse.com) is<br />

within walking distance of Carmel's best<br />

tasting rooms and boasts a boutique,<br />

Bavarian-themed charm (think Dutch<br />

Hofsas House Hotel<br />

doors and dry saunas) complete with<br />

complimentary morning pastries (sourced<br />

from local favorite Paris Bakery), parking,<br />

and other amenities. If you’re feeling<br />

fancy, opt for the Bernardus Lodge & Spa<br />

(bernarduslodge.com), a luxury resort that<br />

grows its own award-winning wines and<br />

features croquet, tennis, and<br />

bocce ball courts; a junior<br />

AutoCamp Yosemite<br />

Mt. Bachelor<br />

bedroom; safari-style glamping tents furnished<br />

with king-sized beds and lux linens and<br />

amenities; and classic cabins with a modern<br />

twist for up to five guests. A few sites are available<br />

with both trailers and tents, which are ideal<br />

for large families traveling together. And the<br />

best part? While campsites and hotels typically<br />

fill up months in advance inside the park, you<br />

can usually find rooms available at AutoCamp<br />

without too much notice.<br />

WHERE TO STAY: The custom trailers will give you<br />

serious vintage vibes, but if you need more space,<br />

ask about an X Suite. The rentable tiny homes<br />

are all ADA accessible, making them perfect for<br />

travelers who value having a little extra space.<br />

DON'T MISS: The Yosemite Valley is home to some<br />

of the park’s best hikes, including the famous Mist<br />

Trail and nearly flat Valley Floor Loop, which passes<br />

sights like El Capitan and Yosemite Falls. For easy<br />

access to and from the park, hop on the YARTS<br />

shuttle at the entrance of AutoCamp.<br />

HEALTH: Check out Yosemite’s COVID-19 guidelines<br />

and safety procedures at nps.gov/yose/index.htm.<br />

>>>AutoCamp also has a property even closer to home<br />

in Guerneville. Sited in a grove of native redwoods and<br />

a stone’s throw away from some of Sonoma County’s<br />

most buzzworthy wineries, the Russian River, and<br />

downtown, the location here boasts the same luxurious<br />

Airstreams and glamping tents as their Yosemite locale,<br />

with the addition of Wi-Fi—which means you can book a<br />

midweek stay and (literally) work remotely.<br />

ADVENTURE IN BEND<br />

Head to Bend, Oregon, one of the most<br />

en vogue towns in the Pacific Northwest.<br />

Why is this town so beloved? Easy: It<br />

offers a great mix of outdoor adventure<br />

and an artsy-meets-hippie culture. Head<br />

out on a beginner bike ride with Cog<br />

Wild Tours (cogwild.com), which can<br />

take your group to the trailheads in a<br />

private shuttle to avoid significant uphill<br />

climbs. Not a biker? Book a hike in an<br />

underground lava tube with Wanderlust<br />

Tours (wanderlusttours.com). The<br />

company also hosts other fun-filled fall<br />

and winter expeditions, including a “Full<br />

Moon & Starlight” photography tour and<br />

“The Local Pour,” where you explore (and<br />

sample) the city’s myriad craft beverages.<br />

Speaking of booze, if you’re a beer fan,<br />

you're in luck: Bend is home to more<br />

than two dozen breweries, 15 of which<br />

are included on the town's "Ale Trail"<br />

passport program. Be sure to make time<br />

to check out the unique galleries and<br />

restaurants in the<br />

town’s highly walkable<br />

downtown area, too.<br />

WHERE TO STAY: Book<br />

a room at Tetherow<br />

Resort (tetherow.com),<br />

which is minutes<br />

from downtown and<br />

Downtown Bend<br />

features 50 rooms<br />

spread across 700<br />

acres bordering the<br />

Deschutes National Forest. Also onsite?<br />

An award-winning golf course, pool,<br />

three restaurants, and a fitness facility.<br />

DON'T MISS: There's excellent hiking<br />

and biking at nearby Mt. Bachelor<br />

(mtbachelor.com); hike up yourself or<br />

take the chairlift and enjoy a mellow<br />

stroll back down.<br />

POOR RED’S BAR-B-Q<br />

6221 Pleasant Valley Road, El Dorado, 530-622-2901, poorreds.com<br />

How long have you been bartending? 14 years.<br />

Best part of your job? The camaraderie between my customers and me—<br />

all of us coming together for good company and delicious cocktails.<br />

Favorite cocktail to make? The art of making the perfect martini,<br />

from guest to guest, varies as much as a sunset. Seeing the satisfaction<br />

on someone’s face when I've made it just right is why I love making and<br />

drinking them.<br />

What do you drink at home? I’m currently enjoying a glass of Via Romano<br />

Vineyard's Celeste Rosé, but I've been known to party.<br />

Fill in the blank: Dear customer…I do what I do for you. Don’t get me<br />

wrong: I love the craft of creating a delicious cocktail and my fellow<br />

bartenders, but without my amazing guests and the relationships I’ve built<br />

from behind a bar, I wouldn’t be the bartender I am today. Thank you for<br />

your continued support over the many years—especially this one.<br />

What bar do you frequent when you’re not working? You’ll find me at<br />

Poor Red’s (the eclectic group of people keep me there even after a shift)<br />

or a local winery.<br />

Aaron Blitvich<br />

MILESTONE<br />

4359 Town Center Boulevard, Suite 116, El Dorado Hills,<br />

916-934-0790, milestoneedh.com<br />

How long have you been bartending? 24 years.<br />

Best part of your job? After years of honing my craft, I’m able to read a<br />

human and see what they need—whether that be a smile, a belly laugh, a<br />

hug (which is tough these days), someone to just listen, an inspired piece of<br />

culinary delight, or a shot of bourbon. Connecting to people with complete<br />

sincerity is what makes it real. Plus, the team at Milestone is like family.<br />

Favorite cocktail to make? While I enjoy the simplicity of the classics, I also<br />

love the tiki culture and island vibe. There are so many directions you can<br />

go when there are no rules. I was lucky enough to represent California in the<br />

National Mai Tai Championship 2014 in Kona, Hawaii, and it left a positive mark<br />

on my creative process.<br />

What do you drink at home? My space is typically filled with light lagers, a<br />

mix bag of spirits, and local wines.<br />

Fill in the blank. Dear customer…Jump in my car, sit back, relax, and enjoy<br />

the ride. Someone once said on Yelp, “Being served by Aaron is like a ride at<br />

Disneyland. You never want to get off.” So, let me steer, and I guarantee you<br />

won’t be disappointed.<br />

What bar do you frequent when you’re not working? Like Sam Malone, you<br />

don’t often see him anywhere else but Cheers. I also enjoy finding hole-in-thewall,<br />

off-the-beaten-path dive bars.<br />

Best bartending tip? Always seek knowledge; pick a new spirit or wine every<br />

day, learn something about it, and then empower your guests. Also, never stop<br />

creating, taste your cocktails, move with purpose, smile, and be kind!<br />

How long have you been bartending? 11 years.<br />

Best part of your job? The networking. The people who decide to sit at our bar and the<br />

conversations are the best. I feel like our bar allows people to really bond, enjoy each other's<br />

company, and support each other—no matter the world's problems. It’s truly magic.<br />

What bar do you frequent when you’re not working? Anything local. I'm a big supporter of our<br />

PAUL MARTIN’S AMERICAN GRILL<br />

1455 Eureka Road, Roseville, 916-783-<br />

3600, paulmartinsamericangrill.com<br />

How long have you been bartending? This<br />

year will be 30—yikes!<br />

Best part of your job? The relationships I've<br />

built with our regulars over the years. I try<br />

to make every guest feel comfortable and<br />

love to see everyone socializing and enjoying<br />

themselves. I also enjoy hearing people's<br />

stories and learning about them. And, of<br />

course, my coworkers are pretty great, too!<br />

Favorite cocktail to make? One that blows<br />

my guests socks off, especially if they’re<br />

trying something different. But I do like to<br />

make a nice, cold martini.<br />

What do you drink at home? I like<br />

experimenting with different drinks, the<br />

regulars are wine, vodka and Diet Coke, vodka<br />

and Squirt, or Scotch.<br />

Fill in the blank: Dear customer…I can’t tell<br />

you how many times I've heard, “I've always<br />

wanted to be a bartender. It looks so fun." It is<br />

fun, but it's not easy. If your bartender makes<br />

it look easy, they’re a great bartender. It's<br />

very physical, there’s a lot of responsibility,<br />

and it takes skill to make a great drink.<br />

What bar do you frequent when you’re not<br />

working? The best quarantine bar right now<br />

is the one at my house!<br />

Best bartending tip? Put a smile on your<br />

face and never let your customers see you<br />

sweat. No one likes a stressed-out bartender.<br />

E<br />

skaton’s continued commitment to innovation is keeping<br />

residents connected and truly Transforming the Aging<br />

Experience.<br />

To provide residents with senior living environments where people<br />

of all ages and abilities thrive, Eskaton partnered with K4 Connect<br />

to offer a resident and family member app and voice-enabled<br />

smart home technology. The first senior living organization in<br />

California to offer this technology to all residents, Eskaton has<br />

been integrating these tools since 2018. With the need to increase<br />

connectivity between residents and their loved ones, Eskaton<br />

has since scaled this technology across 12 communities and has<br />

deployed over 1,500 Alexas.<br />

Working in tandem, the Eskaton Connect app and Alexa enable<br />

residents to video chat with their families and other residents,<br />

call the front desk or ask about the events of the day. Recently<br />

added features allow the communities to share announcements,<br />

streaming content, and additional activities to keep residents<br />

entertained and engaged while spending more time at home. For<br />

those residents with little-to-no experience with technology, the<br />

app makes it easy for them to stay connected.<br />

“Eskaton has always believed that keeping families involved<br />

is paramount to the well-being of our residents. During these<br />

unprecedented times, communication is now more important<br />

than ever. By providing this technology to our residents and their<br />

families, both are able to stay connected, engaged and informed,”<br />

said Sheri Peifer, Chief Strategy Officer.<br />

Implementing new technology to improve resident experience has<br />

always set Eskaton apart from other organizations in the region.<br />

Now it is ensuring that our residents are better connected and<br />

more engaged than ever, just when it is needed most.<br />

Medu Vada<br />

Masala Dosa<br />

As of this writing, it’s late summer <strong>2020</strong>, and<br />

outdoor dining is still the mandate. To<br />

compound the issues, our friends in the<br />

hospitality industry are facing unusually<br />

warm weather, and the air is dense with<br />

smoke from the fires that seem to be a yearly<br />

cycle here.<br />

But through the apocalyptic forecasts of some, there are still<br />

determined entrepreneurs providing soulful sustenance to those of<br />

us willing to seek it.<br />

And so it is with Porottas, a Roseville restaurant serving scratchmade<br />

South Indian cuisine. On my recent visit, owner Kavita Mohan<br />

greeted me at the door with menus before I proceeded to the<br />

makeshift patio. First up was medu vada—three savory doughnutshaped<br />

fritters made with urad dal (black lentil) batter served<br />

alongside coconut chutney and sambar. The latter is a lentil-based<br />

vegetable stew/dip that can be prepared to suit your capsaicin<br />

tolerance. Even though medu vada is typically eaten for breakfast<br />

or as a snack, I would love to have it as an appetizer with a cold IPA<br />

(beer and donuts? Yes, please!).<br />

Next, I followed Kavita’s recommendation and ordered<br />

Hyderabadi vegetable dum biryani, which is a mouthful—both<br />

figuratively and literally. The aromatic entrée featured fresh<br />

vegetables marinated with yogurt, alongside fried onions, spices,<br />

saffron, coriander, and cashews cooked with long-grain basmati<br />

rice. Served with raita and salan (a curry-style condiment), the<br />

flavors and textures in this dish seem to come at you from every<br />

angle: the savory vegetable and spice-infused basmati, the fiery and<br />

fragrant cumin/chili/tamarind salan, and the cooling raita sending<br />

waves of sensory stimulation to your frontal lobe.<br />

Finally, what seems to be everyone’s favorite: the masala dosa.<br />

For the dosa neophyte, it’s a crispy crépe made from lentil and rice<br />

batter. The masala version from Porottas is massive, and it conceals<br />

a 4”x4” portion of warm potato masala (seasoned potato “salad”). For<br />

me, the combination was a bit bland, although the chutneys and<br />

sauces served with it added some balance. Next time I’ll opt for the<br />

rava onion masala dosa and increase the heat level. I’ll also leave<br />

room for a mango lassi, chai tea, or Kumbakonam coffee (a piping<br />

hot blend of frothed milk and fragrant, fresh-ground coffee beans),<br />

for which I will undoubtedly return soon, Stop in and try all of<br />

Kavita’s family recipes; you won’t be disappointed.<br />

Reset: Café By Day // Mysterious happenings occur every evening at a new locale in Historic Folsom. Perhaps it’s<br />

the spirits of inhabitants from a century past, or just some spirited trickery and unique décor by owners John and Tahni Voelz—I’ll<br />

let you decide. I can tell you this: Every day at 4 p.m., the café “resets” into a nighttime venue replate with live music on weekends<br />

(when COVID-19 restrictions lift), different lighting and uniforms, and a happy hour from 4-6 p.m. (Monday through Thursday).<br />

But no matter which iteration you choose to attend, they continue serving a carefully curated, eclectic menu—as well as<br />

hyperlocal beer and wine (sourced within a one-hour drive of Folsom), coffee, and tea. I stopped in on a Sunday for brunch<br />

and was rewarded with their California Brunch Board and Soppressata and Fig Flatbread coupled<br />

with some fresh–brewed black iced tea. The brunch board included rosemary ham, fresh fruit, avocado mash, brie,<br />

sliced baguette, fig jam, my pick of two, house-baked pastries (I chose a seasonal scone and morning cookie that was<br />

packed with oats, sun-dried apricots, and warm spices with a white chocolate drizzle and crushed pistachios), and<br />

other assorted accoutrements. The spreadable brie was topped with a tantalizing square of honeycomb, whose flavor<br />

and texture immediately transported me back to my childhood when a neighbor would tempt us with it fresh from the<br />

hive. The scratch-made flatbread—which featured fig spread, goat cheese, salty soppressata, crushed pistachios,<br />

and a blend of mozzarella and provolone—was a hit and the perfect “shareable” for a brunch party. Reset’s menu also<br />

includes fresh salads, paninis, gourmet toasts, and charcuterie (with a “char-kid-erie” option for little ones), along with<br />

an Italian espresso-style coffee bar, mimosas, beermosas, and more—making it an anytime spot for weary tourists or local<br />

foodies alike.727 Sutter Street, Suite B, Folsom, 916-358-9162, resetfolsom.com—Lorn Randall<br />

Acorn Squash with<br />

Quinoa, Asparagus,<br />

& Radicchio<br />

Submitted by Bonne Vie Kitchen, Folsom,<br />

916-500-9714, bonneviekitchen.com,<br />

@bonneviekitchen<br />

• 2 medium-sized winter squash (acorn,<br />

delicata, or kabocha work best)<br />

• 2 tbsp. ghee or grapeseed oil<br />

• 1 cup tri-colored quinoa, soaked overnight,<br />

rinsed and drained<br />

• 2 cups vegetable stock or water<br />

• 2 shallots, finely chopped<br />

• 1 lb. asparagus, ends trimmed<br />

• 2 cups radicchio, thinly shredded<br />

• Sea salt, to taste<br />

• ¼ cup pepitas<br />

Autumn Vinaigrette<br />

• ½ cup apple cider vinegar<br />

• ¼ cup olive oil<br />

• 2 shallots, finely chopped<br />

• 1 tsp. whole-grain mustard<br />

Preheat oven to 400. Cut squash in half,<br />

lengthwise; scoop out and discard pulp and<br />

seeds. Brush the inside and edges with melted<br />

ghee or grapeseed oil. Sprinkle with sea salt.<br />

Bake for 30 minutes or until tender when<br />

pierced with a fork.<br />

In a small saucepan, bring quinoa, vegetable<br />

stock or water, and a pinch of sea salt, to a<br />

boil. Reduce to simmer and cook until all of<br />

the liquid is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes.<br />

Make vinaigrette by whisking the apple cider<br />

vinegar, olive oil, shallots, and whole-grain<br />

mustard together. Set aside.<br />

In a small saucepan over medium-high heat,<br />

the quinoa, radicchio, and vinaigrette. Toss<br />

until well combined, and divide the quinoa<br />

mixture between the four squash halves.<br />

Finish with pepitas, and serve immediately.<br />

Where We Live<br />

“I love our region’s abundance of trees, especially in<br />

never disappoints—even if it comes a little late.”<br />
