By Kristine Keables<br />

Every community has a<br />

past, and Folsom’s roots<br />

are golden: literally.<br />

After gold was discovered along the<br />

banks of the American River in 1848,<br />

every foot of the American River was<br />

occupied by miners of all ethnic<br />

backgrounds hoping for a rich future.<br />

With the influx of more than 200,000<br />

hopeful miners, Captain Joseph Folsom<br />

purchased a Mexican land grant with<br />

the desire to establish a community to<br />

provide supplies, transportation, and<br />

be a hub for the area. Folsom passed<br />

away before he could see the fruits of<br />

his dreams, and the city still bears his<br />

name.<br />

For history buffs, the city’s past comes<br />

alive at the Folsom History Museum—<br />

located in the Historic District. Once<br />

the center of town for all business and<br />

community, the area is now a lively<br />

restaurants and shopping that also<br />

honors the city’s history.<br />

On the banks of Lake Natoma is the<br />

Historic Folsom Powerhouse, where, in<br />

1895, electricity was sent 22 miles to<br />

Downtown Sacramento. It was the<br />

first long-distance transmission of<br />

power in the Western U.S. and the<br />

equipment is still intact, including a<br />

beautiful marble control board and<br />

huge ceiling-high turbines.<br />

Folsom’s story may have begun with<br />

gold, but other factors over the years<br />

have influenced its evolution from a<br />

sleepy river town with a historic prison<br />

to a sought-after community for<br />

families seeking opportunity and<br />

superior quality of life.<br />

It was the addition of hundreds of men<br />

working at the bustling construction<br />

zone of Folsom Dam in 1945 that was<br />

the catalyst for the city’s incorporation.<br />

The tiny community of 1,200 was<br />

concerned about the “riotous” behavior<br />

of these men and felt local control and<br />

a city police force was the only answer.<br />

Ironically, the idea of cityhood was<br />

pitched to the community to ensure<br />

their safety from construction workers<br />

even though it was home to one of the<br />

state’s notorious prisons. As a Folsom<br />

Telegraph ad stated: “Do you want your<br />

town overrun with undesirable<br />

characters? Do you want the streets of<br />

Folsom safe in order that your wives<br />

and children may not run the risk of<br />

being insulted?”<br />

Prior to the construction of Folsom<br />

Dam, the city’s residents were either<br />

employed by Folsom Prison or at one<br />

of the vast family cattle ranches and<br />

dairy farms.<br />

In the 1950s, Folsom saw a boom in<br />

housing as nearby Aerojet hired<br />

thousands of engineers and workers<br />

when the company developed rockets<br />

for the Apollo Space Program. These<br />

workers brought their families to<br />

Folsom. However, in the 1970s, the<br />

Program faded.<br />

Folsom’s next leap into the future and<br />

milestone in its history came in the<br />

1984 when Intel opened its campus.<br />

Currently, Intel has more than 6,000<br />

employees and is one of the area’s top<br />

five employers. Intel has been a<br />

magnet for tech companies who have<br />

located corporate headquarters and<br />

manufacturing facilities here. Even two<br />

of the oldest companies in Japan—<br />

Kikkoman Foods and Gekkeikan Sake—<br />

saw opportunity and are brewing sake<br />

and soy sauce here.<br />

Folsom’s history is<br />

still being written.<br />

from a zoo sanctuary, aquatic center, and<br />

Innovation<br />

Station<br />

Innovation is no<br />

stranger to Granite<br />

Grammar School in { By Linda Holderness }<br />

Folsom. The school<br />

was cutting-edge<br />

when it opened in<br />

1915, with inventive<br />

airflow and steam<br />

radiators—and in <strong>2022</strong><br />

it’s cutting-edge again.<br />

Last year, the Folsom Community<br />

Development Corporation dBA the<br />

Folsom Economic Development<br />

Corporation (FEDCorp) bought the historic<br />

building from the Folsom Cordova Unified<br />

School District to reenergize it as the<br />

Northern California Innovation District<br />

(NCID). Like the innovation districts<br />

burgeoning worldwide as alternatives to<br />

distant, oversized corporate campuses—<br />

think Silicon Valley—NCID offers creative<br />

start-up and “mid-up” companies an<br />

environment that fosters success.<br />

Very simply, “We work to bring in startup<br />

companies with the intention to help them<br />

grow,” says Joe Gagliardi, president and<br />

CEO of Choose Folsom which includes<br />

the Folsom Tourism Bureau, the Folsom<br />

Chamber of Commerce, and FEDCorp.<br />

They also offer forums to help them with<br />

critical funding.<br />

In just a few months, investors have<br />

pledged $2.3 million to help seed these<br />

fledgling enterprises in exchange for a<br />

1% share of each company. “Instead of<br />

handing out money in grants that we<br />

have little control over, we retain some<br />

ownership,” says Phil Scott, business<br />

and economic development consultant.<br />

“That way when they flourish, it’s<br />

mutually beneficial to them and to the<br />

community.” In addition to funding,<br />

NCID offers introductions and access to<br />

services that might otherwise take years<br />

to achieve, Scott says.<br />

with little cash the resources to pursue<br />

their projects. They share the other four<br />

classrooms, and their spaces vary—some<br />

need only a desk; others want half a room.<br />

Some are foreign companies that are<br />

seeking to have a presence in the United<br />

States. All have the potential to bring jobs<br />

and investment to Folsom.<br />

Current tenants praise the worth of the<br />

NCID. Patrick McEntee, CEO of Aquaco<br />

and co-inventor of the Aquaco Eco-<br />

Intelligent Reserve Water Tank, said his<br />

company, after only five months, “has<br />

benefited from the teamwork among NCID<br />

companies, and our venture is thriving in<br />

Folsom.” Aidan Finn, CEO of Binarii Labs<br />

based in Ireland, wrote that “NCID was<br />

invaluable in introducing us not just to<br />

investors...but also in helping us seek out<br />

new opportunities for our products in the<br />

region. They go out of their way to help<br />

deal with the...overwhelming amount of<br />

detail.” Bekonix CEO Daniel Kaye said<br />

“NCID has been an incredible accelerant to<br />

Bekonix success! We owe a huge debt of<br />

gratitude, not just for the perfect home we<br />

have here...but for the opportunities and<br />

people that have been brought our way.<br />

We absolutely would not be as far along as<br />

we are without NCID.”<br />

He echoed all when he added, “NCID is a<br />

gem in this community.”<br />

Granite School contains eight classrooms<br />

plus meeting spaces. Four classrooms<br />

are rented to “mid-ups”—established<br />

mid-size companies that benefit from the<br />

synergistic environment. The rent these<br />

companies pay covers the mortgage, giving<br />

the project long-term stability. The startups<br />

pay reduced rent. Their buy-in is the<br />

1%—a condition that allows entrepreneurs<br />

South of 50<br />

Developments<br />

{ By Bill Romanelli }<br />

When Folsom residents voted<br />

overwhelmingly to annex 3,500 acres<br />

of land south of Highway 50, they<br />

launched a vision for a beautiful,<br />

thriving community that now, 18 years<br />

later, is coming alive as Folsom Ranch.<br />

The first new homes started<br />

construction in 2018, and the first new<br />

residents moved in the following year.<br />

Today, more than 2,300 homes have<br />

been built or are under construction,<br />

millions of dollars of infrastructure<br />

have been put in place, major health<br />

care interests have planted flags in the<br />

ground, a new elementary school has<br />

opened, new retail is taking root, and<br />

new parks and amenities are in the<br />

pipeline for all Folsom residents to enjoy.<br />

campus, including a 300-bed hospital,<br />

while UC Davis is clearing land for 400,000<br />

square feet of building space for wellness<br />

and health care services.<br />

• Retail. It’s too early to name names, but<br />

between The Shops in the northern portion<br />

of the Plan Area, Town Center “the jewel of<br />

the plan area,” and Southpointe, residents<br />

can expect a multiple of high-density retail<br />

and mixed-use commercial space to come on<br />

line in the next several months.<br />

• Parks and Open Space. The 12-acre<br />

Prospector Park, which will include a<br />

children’s play area, lighted sports field, a dog<br />

park, and sports courts (tennis, volleyball,<br />

and basketball), will start construction before<br />

the end of <strong>2022</strong>. Overall plans call for 30<br />

miles of trails and bike paths connecting the<br />

neighborhood to more than 1,000 acres of<br />

dedicated open space.<br />

“It’s humbling and heartwarming to<br />

see families enjoying the trails and a<br />

community taking shape,” says Roberto<br />

Aragon with Westland Capital Partners,<br />

one of the principal developers of<br />

Folsom Ranch. “The city’s vision is<br />

coming to fruition.”<br />

Just a snapshot of what’s happening in<br />

Folsom Ranch right now includes:<br />

• Housing. Ten neighborhoods are<br />

in various stages of construction,<br />

offering a full range of single and<br />

multi-family housing opportunities.<br />

• Health Care. Dignity Health is<br />

moving forward with plans for a<br />

530,000-square-foot medical<br />

• Schools. Mangini Elementary welcomed<br />

its first students last year and is already<br />

nearing capacity. A second elementary<br />

school (as yet unnamed) is slated to open in<br />

time for the <strong>2023</strong>-2024 school year.<br />

• Senior Living. Regency at Folsom Ranch, a<br />

55+ gated community, is already open and<br />

selling, with 15 model homes ranging from<br />

1,500-2,400 square feet, an 18,000-squarefoot<br />

clubhouse and pool, and easy access to<br />

shopping, dining, and recreation.<br />

Progress on all these fronts will occur in<br />

phases over the next couple years. Folsom’s<br />

Community Development Director Pam Johns<br />

says it’s a very exciting time.<br />

“A well-organized group of landowners worked<br />

together to create a dynamic community that<br />

fits well with the rest of Folsom, and offer some<br />

unique amenities, job centers, and gathering<br />

places that everyone can appreciate,” Johns<br />

says. As the vision becomes real, it also creates<br />

new marketing opportunities for the city to<br />

attract businesses, jobs, and residents.”<br />

The South of 50 development is expected to be<br />

ongoing for another 8-10 years. At full buildout,<br />

Folsom Ranch will have more than 11,000<br />

new homes and a population of more than<br />

27,000. For more information, visit folsom.ca.us/<br />

Destination Aesthetics<br />

destinationaesthetics.com<br />

Q. What do you do for your business?<br />

I wear many hats at Destination Aesthetics! I am the founder and CEO, a nurse<br />

practitioner, and lead injection trainer.<br />

Q. What do you like about what you do?<br />

Our team and myself are passionate about making people feel like the best versions of<br />

themselves and instilling them with a sense of empowerment and self-love. I love<br />

building a team that is a second family not just to me but to each other. We thrive off<br />

our patients and their beautiful aesthetic journeys.<br />

Q. What makes you and your business unique?<br />

DA is a medical spa that focuses on non-surgical services versus dermatology or plastic<br />

surgery so we are hyperfocused on specific services such as cosmetic injectables, laser,<br />

body sculpting, and skin care. As a national injector trainer for Allergan®, I am able to<br />

bring the latest innovations and strategies directly to our team and lead them with the<br />

highest level of in-house education. Our core value is love as we feel it sets the<br />

foundation for company culture and patient experience.<br />

Q. Why you chose Folsom?<br />

We chose to settle in Folsom due to the amazing community of both people and small<br />

business support. The Folsom Chamber has been one of our biggest cheerleaders and has<br />

provided so much opportunity for business-to-business and growth and development.<br />

Gail Back<br />

Back Bistro<br />

backbistro.com<br />

Q. What do you do for your business?<br />

I’m sure that my face is not as recognizable as my business partner’s and husband’s,<br />

Jeff Back. That’s because I am mostly behind the scenes handling all of our business<br />

administration. If there’s an unglamorous, tedious task, I’m your gal. I run all of our<br />

company’s finances, whether it be bookkeeping, accounts payable, banking or<br />

acquiring capital. Recently, I’ve kept very busy with COVID related finances like PPP<br />

loans. I oversee all human resources, including implementation of policies &<br />

procedures related to COVID and I am responsible for payroll. Additionally, I<br />

coordinate with our outside professionals like attorneys, consultants and CPAs.<br />

Q. What do you like about what you do?<br />

I enjoy the problem-solving aspect of finance. I like controlling the puzzle pieces. It’s<br />

both creative and logical. However, the most rewarding parts of my work are the<br />

positive interactions I have with our employees. Over the last few years, I’ve been<br />

doing a lot of “mom-ing”, as I am the one-and-only person handling COVID quarantines<br />

and illnesses. So, I do a great deal of checking in to see how people are feeling. I like to<br />

think that our staff can recognize my genuine concern for them. I am very grateful<br />

when they thank me for being there for them.<br />

Q. Are there any big developments planned<br />

for the future?<br />

Yes, we are actually opening a new business! It’s called 24 Hour Kitchens. This is a new<br />

concept for us. It’s an hourly kitchen rental facility for food entrepreneurs like; bakers,<br />

caterers, meal preppers and food trucks. We have a location getting ready to open this fall<br />

in Fair Oaks and we’re looking for an additional location. Maybe there’s a great spot for us<br />

in Folsom? Stay tuned.<br />

Lindsey McCoy<br />

Care Finance Group<br />

carefinancegroup.com<br />

Q. What do you do for your business?<br />

I am the Owner of CARE Finance Group, a boutique mortgage brokerage, in Folsom.<br />

Q. What do you like about what you do?<br />

Helping my clients build wealth, not only through real estate. Helping with my clients real estate<br />

needs is the cornerstone of our business. But helping with overall financial goals, building<br />

generational wealth, and becoming a financial mentor for life is my true passion. My clients call<br />

me with all kinds of questions relating to their overall wealth portfolios, some of those questions<br />

I can help guide and others we refer to our panel of experts in that specific field. No matter what<br />

my clients need when it comes to wealth and real estate we pride ourselves on being that<br />

helping ear on the other side of the phone. We are always here when you need us, whether you<br />

are a first time home buyer, a seasoned investor, or a child making a tough choice for an aging<br />

parent, your questions will always be answered with kindness and care.<br />

Q. How do you balance your business with your family?<br />

I love this question because there is no correct answer. At CARE, we blend it all together! Kids<br />

will be at our office quite often as our team needs to bring them to work sometimes.<br />

We have an open door policy, kid friendly snacks, and an environment that cares for all of them<br />

as a family unit. Just the same way our community comes together, we do that same at work.<br />

Family and work are important and balance is important. We blend and sway as it comes.<br />

Q. What makes you and your business unique?<br />

In addition to being a small all female run business in the heart of Folsom, one other thing that<br />

makes us unique is we truly develop lifetime relationships with our clients, they become part of<br />

our little family and community, which is a huge part of who we are. Participating, sponsoring,<br />

and volunteering throughout Folsom to support and serve those around us is at the heart of our<br />

business.<br />

special place with<br />

Shaina DiMariano<br />

DiMariano Family Dentistry<br />

myfolsomdentist.com<br />

Q. What do you do for your business?<br />

I am the CEO and Dentist at DiMariano Family Dentistry<br />

Q. What do you like about what you do?<br />

There is nothing more important to me than living life in a way that benefits<br />

people and contributes to society. Getting patients healthy, helping them prevent<br />

the need for dental work, and taking pride and responsibility in my role as an<br />

employer are the most important pieces of my job. Admittedly, even though I<br />

don’t want patients to need dental work done, it is exciting to engineer a problem<br />

tooth and save it. The MacGyver part of my job is fun!<br />

Q. What makes you and your business unique?<br />

The people inside the business are ultimately what makes us different. We are<br />

genuinely passionate about what we do and we enjoy each other. Patients tell us<br />

daily that they feel that energy when they are here. We all know that no one<br />

wants to go to the dentist (including us). But if you have to be here, then you can<br />

at least count on some laughs and the authentic feeling that you are being cared<br />

for. My favorite thing to say to patients is, “You are not here for us. We are here<br />

for YOU.”<br />

Q. Why you chose Folsom?<br />

Why WOULDN’T I choose Folsom? That would be a shorter<br />

answer. There are far too many reasons to list at once. What I will<br />

emphasize is how supportive this community has been to me as a<br />

healthcare provider, business owner, and parent. The resources we<br />

have in Folsom to keep us all thriving in life and business are<br />

beyond belief. Patients in Folsom are incredibly lucky to have<br />

numerous talented dentists to choose from and something I<br />

appreciate is knowing many of us work together and utilize each<br />

other for learning. The Folsom community of dentists banded<br />

together through the COVID curveball and I cannot imagine<br />

surviving that difficult experience without them.<br />

5 Wonderful Wineries<br />

{ By Emily Peter-Corey }<br />

Did you know we’re<br />

surrounded by awardwinning<br />

wine? The<br />

Greater Sacramento<br />

region is filled with a<br />

variety of vineyards<br />

that offer live music,<br />

event hosting, and,<br />

of course, top-notch<br />

wine. Take a short<br />

drive and enjoy<br />

stunning views,<br />

delicious wines, and<br />

exciting events.<br />

Located in Historic Folsom, Willamette<br />

Wineworks is a wine-blending and food<br />

experience featuring wines from Oregon’s<br />

Willamette Valley Vineyards. You can<br />

select varietals to taste, then blend what<br />

your taste buds desire, and purchase a<br />

glass or growler of your own creation.<br />

And don’t worry if you’re not the DIYtype,<br />

as the experts in the tasting room<br />

will happily pour flights for you to try.<br />

In summertime, don’t miss their Natoma<br />

Wine and Sunsets where you can listen to<br />

live music and sip vino while the sun sets.<br />

A stunning view and sippable wine await<br />

at Helwig Winery, which is just up the<br />

hill in Plymouth. Their offerings include a<br />

rustic tasting room; gourmet kitchen with<br />

burgers, sandwiches, and salads; concerts;<br />

and a memorable venue for weddings and<br />

private events. Be sure to visit them for<br />

Helwig@Dusk once a month May through<br />

September for live music, food, and wine,<br />

but buy tickets early as these fun evenings<br />

sell out quickly! 11555 Shenandoah Road,<br />

Plymouth, 209-245-5200, helwigwinery.com<br />

Originally built in 1934 as a beet sugar<br />

refinery, the historic Old Sugar Mill<br />

now plays hosts to 14 wineries, which<br />

produce varietals from all over Northern<br />

California. Not only is it a one-stop-shop<br />

for a day of wine tasting, but it also<br />

makes a stunning wedding venue. There<br />

are multiple ceremony and reception<br />

spots to choose from, in addition to an<br />

in-house coordinator and myriad of other<br />

wedding necessities. For those already<br />

lucky in love, be on the lookout for holiday<br />

celebrations where specialty vendors<br />

and food trucks are brought in to be<br />

paired for a perfect day of wine tasting.<br />

They’re located southwest, just about 35<br />

miles from Folsom. 35264 Willow Avenue,<br />

Tucked away in the rolling hills of<br />

Placerville is David Girard Vineyards<br />

where wines and weddings meet. It has<br />

quite the view for either, and the staff<br />

is always welcoming. For wine tasting,<br />

they’re open later on Fridays, when they<br />

also offer pizza, and often have live shows<br />

that pair perfectly with wine tasting on<br />

the patio. 741 Cold Springs Road, Placerville,<br />

A Healthy<br />

Future<br />

{ By Kristine Keables }<br />

Mercy Hospital of Folsom<br />

Dignity Health<br />

UC Davis<br />

As the number of rooftops grow<br />

in the city’s newest planned<br />

community south of Highway<br />

50, many wonder about plans for<br />

expanding medical services and<br />

facilities to meet the demand.<br />

Luckily, three of the region’s largest<br />

health care providers—Dignity<br />

Health, UC Davis, and Kaiser—are<br />

all making plans to ensure residents’<br />

health needs are met.<br />

Both Dignity Health and UC Davis<br />

have purchased property within the<br />

new growth area to expand their<br />

medical services. Kaiser already<br />

has a large medical building and<br />

an ambulatory surgery facility<br />

in Folsom; they also own land at<br />

Palladio off Iron Point Road for<br />

possible future expansion.<br />

A new Dignity medical building will<br />

be underway soon on a 31-acre<br />

site at the corner of East Bidwell<br />

Street and Alder Creek Parkway.<br />

As part of Phase 1, the building will<br />

house many of the local Dignity<br />

physicians as well as ambulatory<br />

surgery and advanced imaging. It is<br />

estimated the facility will open in<br />

late 2025 or early 2026. President<br />

of Mercy Folsom, Lisa Hausmann,<br />

says Dignity is looking at bringing<br />

other services to Folsom, too,<br />

including infusion and oncology.<br />

Phase 2 includes plans for an acute<br />

care hospital with 100-300 beds.<br />

Mercy Hospital of Folsom, which<br />

is the city’s current hospital, has<br />

100 beds. According to Hausmann,<br />

there’s room for it to expand in the<br />

future; or, when the new hospital<br />

is complete, it might become a<br />

specialty center.<br />

UC Davis Board of Regents recently<br />

approved Phase 1 construction on<br />

its 34.5-acre parcel located at East<br />

Bidwell Street and Highway 50. This<br />

medical building will be 100,000<br />

square feet and house physician<br />

offices, a pharmacy, and an infusion<br />

suite in addition to radiology<br />

and imaging. It is estimated that<br />

construction will start in early 2024<br />

with opening scheduled for 2025.<br />

Plans noted in the Environmental<br />

Impact Report for the UC Davis site<br />

include a micro-hospital of 30 beds,<br />

an ambulatory surgery center, and<br />

a 100-room hotel; the timeline for<br />

these facilities is 15-20 years.<br />

While not anticipating new facilities<br />

in Folsom, Kaiser is “committed<br />

to meeting the health care needs<br />

of Folsom and its surrounding<br />

communities today and well into<br />

the future,” says Kim Menzel,<br />

senior vice president and area<br />

manager of Kaiser Permanente<br />

Roseville. “We regularly reevaluate<br />

our capital planning projections,<br />

subject to several factors, including<br />

membership growth in the area.<br />

Regarding Roseville, while we<br />

have a Development Agreement<br />

to expand the Roseville Medical<br />

Center, including a new hospital<br />

tower, new development is also<br />

subject to a number of factors...<br />

It remains our intention to build a<br />

state-of-the-art medical center at<br />

the Railyards that represents how<br />

health care will be provided in the<br />

future. Due to our ongoing internal<br />

planning processes, we can’t<br />

provide detailed information about<br />

the design, scope, and schedule for<br />

the project,” she says.<br />

Best in<br />

Show<br />

{ By Julie Ryan }<br />

Rivers, lakes,<br />

mountains, and,<br />

maybe most<br />

importantly, wineries.<br />

We’re so lucky to have<br />

all the above at our<br />

fingertips. Speaking<br />

of the latter, a good<br />

amount of our region’s<br />

wineries are award<br />

winners. Thanks<br />

to an idyllic grapegrowing<br />

climate and<br />

soil, certain varietals<br />

truly flourish here.<br />

As a result, we get<br />

to benefit from the<br />

results. The following<br />

are five Best in Show<br />

wineries within easy<br />

reach.<br />

Casino Mine Ranch<br />

Best in Show in the red category goes to another Plymouth winery, Casino<br />

Mine Ranch, whose winning wine—the 2018 Tempranillo—is described as<br />

“richly textured with copious, intense fruit character of freshly harvested<br />

blackberries, raspberries, and Tulare cherries; violets; balsam; baking<br />

spices (vanilla, cardamom, and clove); hints of bitter dark chocolate; and<br />

Fernet-Branca—all interwoven with mouth-coating tannins, refreshing<br />

acidity, and a lingering finish.” Pair this delicious wine with roasted sweet<br />

potatoes or beef bourguignon. The beautiful family-owned winery was<br />

once a ranch mined for gold, but now it produces rosés, vermentinos,<br />

and several reds, including their award winner. 13608 Shenandoah Road,<br />

Plymouth, 209-330-0695, casinomineranch.com<br />

Casino Mine Ranch<br />

Gwinllan Estate Winery<br />

Gwinllan Estate Winery<br />

“Gwinllan” means vineyard in Welsh, and the small familyowned<br />

winery wanted to honor their roots while naming<br />

their vineyard. Their vines grow above the Central Valley<br />

heat and below the snow line, which helps produce perfect<br />

grapes for award-winning wines. The latest winner is from<br />

the “sparkling” category, the 2019 Rosé, and it’s sure to<br />

please your palate. “Delicious raspberry muffin will envelope<br />

your senses. The taste of rhubarb and raspberry jam pair<br />

beautifully with a hint of strawberries and whipped cream.”<br />

They offer several estate champagnes, as well as white wines,<br />

reds, and ports. While you’re enjoying their<br />

offerings, you may see a few family members<br />

roaming the grounds: Ben, Gwynn, and<br />

Matilda oversee vermin control. (They’re<br />

border collies and do a great job!) 7060<br />

Fairplay Road, Somerset, 530- 723-2879,<br />

Bella Grace Vineyards<br />

This winery’s 2021 Vermentino won Best in<br />

Show for white wines and is also the bestselling<br />

white they produce. (This is their 15th<br />

vintage of the vermentino.) It’s described<br />

as having an explosion of flavors across the<br />

palate, which is delightful and bright, and<br />

pairs wonderfully with seafood (lobster,<br />

oysters, and crab). The winery is named for<br />

the family’s grandmothers, Bella and Grace,<br />

“and captures their zest for life and unique<br />

character.” There are two locations—Sutter<br />

Creek and their wine cave and vineyard in<br />

Plymouth—and each offer unique tasting<br />

experiences. Vermentino aside, their<br />

list of wines includes reds, whites, and<br />

sparkling. They also have several olive oils<br />

and balsamic vinegars to try and buy; and<br />

their chef creates recipes every quarter<br />

utilizing the wines, olive oils, and balsamic<br />

vinegars. 73 Main Street, Sutter Creek;<br />

22715 Upton Road, Plymouth, 209-267-8053,<br />

Vino Noceto<br />

What started out as a little red barn decked<br />

out with burlap walls and slabs of wood<br />

thrown over barrels, has turned into much<br />

more. Vino Noceto now have several<br />

buildings and a villa-style courtyard where<br />

you can taste their award-winning 2021<br />

Rosato di Sangiovese described as light,<br />

crisp, and lip-smacking tart. It pairs well<br />

with ceviche, sushi, Mediterranean dishes,<br />

and just about anything else! Noceto means<br />

“walnut grove” in Italian, and the family farm<br />

that now produces wine began with a walnut<br />

crop years ago. Known for their sangiovese,<br />

they’ve been producing wines for over 25<br />

years. From their inaugural vintage and<br />

110 cases, they now they produce 8,000<br />

cases annually and offer nine different<br />

sangioveses, as well as an old vine zinfandel<br />

and a Tuscan red blend. 11011 Shenandoah<br />

Road, Plymouth, 209-245-6556, noceto.com<br />

Lewis Grace Winery<br />

A white dessert wine with rich permeating<br />

aromas of green apple, orange blossom,<br />

white peach, honey, and jasmine, the<br />

award-winning 2021 Fashionably Late<br />

Dessert Wine boasts fresh flavors of tropical<br />

tangerine and ripe nectarine on the palate,<br />

while lemon-lime zest create a harmonious<br />

balance of crisp acidity and suavity. The<br />

winery is named after Lewis Grace, who<br />

was a patriot and served as a soldier in the<br />

4th Virginia Regiment in the Revolutionary<br />

War. The winery’s history doesn’t end<br />

there, however. It sits on a historic piece<br />

of property established in 1890 and was<br />

originally set along the Pony Express route.<br />

The Irving family, who owned the land, was<br />

also a founding member of Apple Hill. The<br />

original Irving barn and ranch house remain,<br />

surrounded by vineyards. The winery<br />

produces, among many other varietals,<br />

a pinot gris, rosé, barbera, and cabernet<br />

sauvignon, as well as their award-winning<br />

dessert wine that’s a must-sip alongside<br />

lemon bars. 2701 Carson Road, Placerville,<br />

TOP<br />

WINE-<br />

STORING<br />

TIPS<br />

• Store at the proper temperature. The<br />

general temperature to store wine is<br />

55 degrees, but that’s not the case<br />

for every wine. To be sure you’re<br />

storing correctly, ask the winemaker<br />

what they suggest.<br />

• Store your bottles horizontally. If<br />

your bottle has a cork, storing this<br />

way will keep the cork moist. A dry<br />

cork can cause premature aging.<br />

Screw top bottles don’t need to be<br />

stored this way, but aesthetically it<br />

looks good!<br />

• Keep bottles in the dark. Direct<br />

sunlight can damage the wine.<br />

• Buy a wine fridge. Not only will<br />

it keep your wine at the perfect<br />

temperature, but it also keeps it at<br />

the proper humidity.<br />

• Store opened wine properly. Recork<br />

it quickly and tightly.<br />
