By Kristine Keables
Every community has a
past, and Folsom’s roots
are golden: literally.
After gold was discovered along the
banks of the American River in 1848,
every foot of the American River was
occupied by miners of all ethnic
backgrounds hoping for a rich future.
With the influx of more than 200,000
hopeful miners, Captain Joseph Folsom
purchased a Mexican land grant with
the desire to establish a community to
provide supplies, transportation, and
be a hub for the area. Folsom passed
away before he could see the fruits of
his dreams, and the city still bears his
name.
For history buffs, the city’s past comes
alive at the Folsom History Museum—
located in the Historic District. Once
the center of town for all business and
community, the area is now a lively
restaurants and shopping that also
honors the city’s history.
On the banks of Lake Natoma is the
Historic Folsom Powerhouse, where, in
1895, electricity was sent 22 miles to
Downtown Sacramento. It was the
first long-distance transmission of
power in the Western U.S. and the
equipment is still intact, including a
beautiful marble control board and
huge ceiling-high turbines.
Folsom’s story may have begun with
gold, but other factors over the years
have influenced its evolution from a
sleepy river town with a historic prison
to a sought-after community for
families seeking opportunity and
superior quality of life.
It was the addition of hundreds of men
working at the bustling construction
zone of Folsom Dam in 1945 that was
the catalyst for the city’s incorporation.
The tiny community of 1,200 was
concerned about the “riotous” behavior
of these men and felt local control and
a city police force was the only answer.
Ironically, the idea of cityhood was
pitched to the community to ensure
their safety from construction workers
even though it was home to one of the
state’s notorious prisons. As a Folsom
Telegraph ad stated: “Do you want your
town overrun with undesirable
characters? Do you want the streets of
Folsom safe in order that your wives
and children may not run the risk of
being insulted?”
Prior to the construction of Folsom
Dam, the city’s residents were either
employed by Folsom Prison or at one
of the vast family cattle ranches and
dairy farms.
In the 1950s, Folsom saw a boom in
housing as nearby Aerojet hired
thousands of engineers and workers
when the company developed rockets
for the Apollo Space Program. These
workers brought their families to
Folsom. However, in the 1970s, the
Program faded.
Folsom’s next leap into the future and
milestone in its history came in the
1984 when Intel opened its campus.
Currently, Intel has more than 6,000
employees and is one of the area’s top
five employers. Intel has been a
magnet for tech companies who have
located corporate headquarters and
manufacturing facilities here. Even two
of the oldest companies in Japan—
Kikkoman Foods and Gekkeikan Sake—
saw opportunity and are brewing sake
and soy sauce here.
Folsom’s history is
still being written.

Family-friendly activities abound in Folsom,
from a zoo sanctuary, aquatic center, and
sports complex to parks aplenty and even a
few museums. The variety of options means
you’ll have something to do every weekend,
rain or shine.
Athletes of all skill levels are invited to
participate in a little friendly competition at
the Andy Morin Sports Complex. They
offer multiple sports including volleyball,
pickleball, soccer, basketball, and even have
a batting cage. Be sure to peruse through
the Parks & Recreation Guide for a list of the
youth and adult programs, clinics, leagues,

space to hold birthday parties and events.

Innovation is no
stranger to Granite
Grammar School in { By Linda Holderness }
Folsom. The school
was cutting-edge
when it opened in
1915, with inventive
airflow and steam
radiators—and in 2022
it’s cutting-edge again.
Last year, the Folsom Community
Development Corporation dBA the
Folsom Economic Development
Corporation (FEDCorp) bought the historic
building from the Folsom Cordova Unified
School District to reenergize it as the
Northern California Innovation District
(NCID). Like the innovation districts
burgeoning worldwide as alternatives to
distant, oversized corporate campuses—
think Silicon Valley—NCID offers creative
start-up and “mid-up” companies an
environment that fosters success.
Very simply, “We work to bring in startup
companies with the intention to help them
grow,” says Joe Gagliardi, president and
CEO of Choose Folsom which includes
the Folsom Tourism Bureau, the Folsom
Chamber of Commerce, and FEDCorp.
They also offer forums to help them with
critical funding.
In just a few months, investors have
pledged $2.3 million to help seed these
fledgling enterprises in exchange for a
1% share of each company. “Instead of
handing out money in grants that we
have little control over, we retain some
ownership,” says Phil Scott, business
and economic development consultant.
“That way when they flourish, it’s
mutually beneficial to them and to the
community.” In addition to funding,
NCID offers introductions and access to
services that might otherwise take years
to achieve, Scott says.
with little cash the resources to pursue
their projects. They share the other four
classrooms, and their spaces vary—some
need only a desk; others want half a room.
Some are foreign companies that are
seeking to have a presence in the United
States. All have the potential to bring jobs
and investment to Folsom.
Current tenants praise the worth of the
NCID. Patrick McEntee, CEO of Aquaco
and co-inventor of the Aquaco Eco-
Intelligent Reserve Water Tank, said his
company, after only five months, “has
benefited from the teamwork among NCID
companies, and our venture is thriving in
Folsom.” Aidan Finn, CEO of Binarii Labs
based in Ireland, wrote that “NCID was
invaluable in introducing us not just to
investors...but also in helping us seek out
new opportunities for our products in the
region. They go out of their way to help
deal with the...overwhelming amount of
detail.” Bekonix CEO Daniel Kaye said
“NCID has been an incredible accelerant to
Bekonix success! We owe a huge debt of
gratitude, not just for the perfect home we
have here...but for the opportunities and
people that have been brought our way.
We absolutely would not be as far along as
we are without NCID.”
He echoed all when he added, “NCID is a
gem in this community.”

South of 50
Developments
{ By Bill Romanelli }
When Folsom residents voted
overwhelmingly to annex 3,500 acres
of land south of Highway 50, they
launched a vision for a beautiful,
thriving community that now, 18 years
later, is coming alive as Folsom Ranch.
The first new homes started
construction in 2018, and the first new
residents moved in the following year.
Today, more than 2,300 homes have
been built or are under construction,
millions of dollars of infrastructure
have been put in place, major health
care interests have planted flags in the
ground, a new elementary school has
opened, new retail is taking root, and
new parks and amenities are in the
pipeline for all Folsom residents to enjoy.
campus, including a 300-bed hospital,
while UC Davis is clearing land for 400,000
square feet of building space for wellness
and health care services.
• Retail. It’s too early to name names, but
between The Shops in the northern portion
of the Plan Area, Town Center “the jewel of
the plan area,” and Southpointe, residents
can expect a multiple of high-density retail
and mixed-use commercial space to come on
line in the next several months.
• Parks and Open Space. The 12-acre
Prospector Park, which will include a
children’s play area, lighted sports field, a dog
park, and sports courts (tennis, volleyball,
and basketball), will start construction before
the end of 2022. Overall plans call for 30
miles of trails and bike paths connecting the
neighborhood to more than 1,000 acres of
dedicated open space.
Photos courtesy of the Folsom Chamber of Commerce.
“It’s humbling and heartwarming to
see families enjoying the trails and a
community taking shape,” says Roberto
Aragon with Westland Capital Partners,
one of the principal developers of
Folsom Ranch. “The city’s vision is
coming to fruition.”
Just a snapshot of what’s happening in
Folsom Ranch right now includes:
• Housing. Ten neighborhoods are
in various stages of construction,
offering a full range of single and
multi-family housing opportunities.
• Health Care. Dignity Health is
moving forward with plans for a
530,000-square-foot medical
• Schools. Mangini Elementary welcomed
its first students last year and is already
nearing capacity. A second elementary
school (as yet unnamed) is slated to open in
time for the 2023-2024 school year.
• Senior Living. Regency at Folsom Ranch, a
55+ gated community, is already open and
selling, with 15 model homes ranging from
1,500-2,400 square feet, an 18,000-squarefoot
clubhouse and pool, and easy access to
shopping, dining, and recreation.
Progress on all these fronts will occur in
phases over the next couple years. Folsom’s
Community Development Director Pam Johns
says it’s a very exciting time.
“A well-organized group of landowners worked
together to create a dynamic community that
fits well with the rest of Folsom, and offer some
unique amenities, job centers, and gathering
places that everyone can appreciate,” Johns
says. As the vision becomes real, it also creates
new marketing opportunities for the city to
attract businesses, jobs, and residents.”
The South of 50 development is expected to be
ongoing for another 8-10 years. At full buildout,
Folsom Ranch will have more than 11,000
new homes and a population of more than
27,000. For more information, visit folsom.ca.us/

Q. What do you do for your business?
I wear many hats at Destination Aesthetics! I am the founder and CEO, a nurse
practitioner, and lead injection trainer.
Q. What do you like about what you do?
Our team and myself are passionate about making people feel like the best versions of
themselves and instilling them with a sense of empowerment and self-love. I love
building a team that is a second family not just to me but to each other. We thrive off
our patients and their beautiful aesthetic journeys.
Q. What makes you and your business unique?
DA is a medical spa that focuses on non-surgical services versus dermatology or plastic
surgery so we are hyperfocused on specific services such as cosmetic injectables, laser,
body sculpting, and skin care. As a national injector trainer for Allergan®, I am able to
bring the latest innovations and strategies directly to our team and lead them with the
highest level of in-house education. Our core value is love as we feel it sets the
foundation for company culture and patient experience.
Q. Why you chose Folsom?
We chose to settle in Folsom due to the amazing community of both people and small
business support. The Folsom Chamber has been one of our biggest cheerleaders and has
provided so much opportunity for business-to-business and growth and development.

Q. What do you do for your business?
I’m sure that my face is not as recognizable as my business partner’s and husband’s,
Jeff Back. That’s because I am mostly behind the scenes handling all of our business
administration. If there’s an unglamorous, tedious task, I’m your gal. I run all of our
company’s finances, whether it be bookkeeping, accounts payable, banking or
acquiring capital. Recently, I’ve kept very busy with COVID related finances like PPP
loans. I oversee all human resources, including implementation of policies &
procedures related to COVID and I am responsible for payroll. Additionally, I
coordinate with our outside professionals like attorneys, consultants and CPAs.
Q. What do you like about what you do?
I enjoy the problem-solving aspect of finance. I like controlling the puzzle pieces. It’s
both creative and logical. However, the most rewarding parts of my work are the
positive interactions I have with our employees. Over the last few years, I’ve been
doing a lot of “mom-ing”, as I am the one-and-only person handling COVID quarantines
and illnesses. So, I do a great deal of checking in to see how people are feeling. I like to
think that our staff can recognize my genuine concern for them. I am very grateful
when they thank me for being there for them.
Q. Are there any big developments planned
for the future?
Yes, we are actually opening a new business! It’s called 24 Hour Kitchens. This is a new
concept for us. It’s an hourly kitchen rental facility for food entrepreneurs like; bakers,
caterers, meal preppers and food trucks. We have a location getting ready to open this fall
in Fair Oaks and we’re looking for an additional location. Maybe there’s a great spot for us
in Folsom? Stay tuned.

helping ear on the other side of the phone. We are always here when you need us, whether you
are a first time home buyer, a seasoned investor, or a child making a tough choice for an aging
parent, your questions will always be answered with kindness and care.
Q. How do you balance your business with your family?
I love this question because there is no correct answer. At CARE, we blend it all together! Kids
will be at our office quite often as our team needs to bring them to work sometimes.
We have an open door policy, kid friendly snacks, and an environment that cares for all of them
as a family unit. Just the same way our community comes together, we do that same at work.
Family and work are important and balance is important. We blend and sway as it comes.
Q. What makes you and your business unique?
In addition to being a small all female run business in the heart of Folsom, one other thing that
makes us unique is we truly develop lifetime relationships with our clients, they become part of
our little family and community, which is a huge part of who we are. Participating, sponsoring,
and volunteering throughout Folsom to support and serve those around us is at the heart of our
business.
"Folsom holds a
special place with
my family."

Q. What do you do for your business?
I am the CEO and Dentist at DiMariano Family Dentistry
Q. What do you like about what you do?
There is nothing more important to me than living life in a way that benefits
people and contributes to society. Getting patients healthy, helping them prevent
the need for dental work, and taking pride and responsibility in my role as an
employer are the most important pieces of my job. Admittedly, even though I
don’t want patients to need dental work done, it is exciting to engineer a problem
tooth and save it. The MacGyver part of my job is fun!
Q. What makes you and your business unique?
The people inside the business are ultimately what makes us different. We are
genuinely passionate about what we do and we enjoy each other. Patients tell us
daily that they feel that energy when they are here. We all know that no one
wants to go to the dentist (including us). But if you have to be here, then you can
at least count on some laughs and the authentic feeling that you are being cared
for. My favorite thing to say to patients is, “You are not here for us. We are here
for YOU.”
Q. Why you chose Folsom?
Why WOULDN’T I choose Folsom? That would be a shorter
answer. There are far too many reasons to list at once. What I will
emphasize is how supportive this community has been to me as a
healthcare provider, business owner, and parent. The resources we
have in Folsom to keep us all thriving in life and business are
beyond belief. Patients in Folsom are incredibly lucky to have
numerous talented dentists to choose from and something I
appreciate is knowing many of us work together and utilize each
other for learning. The Folsom community of dentists banded
together through the COVID curveball and I cannot imagine
surviving that difficult experience without them.

5 Wonderful Wineries
{ By Emily Peter-Corey }
Did you know we’re
surrounded by awardwinning
wine? The
Greater Sacramento
region is filled with a
variety of vineyards
that offer live music,
event hosting, and,
of course, top-notch
wine. Take a short
drive and enjoy
stunning views,
delicious wines, and
exciting events.
Located in Historic Folsom, Willamette
Wineworks is a wine-blending and food
experience featuring wines from Oregon’s
Willamette Valley Vineyards. You can
select varietals to taste, then blend what
your taste buds desire, and purchase a
glass or growler of your own creation.
And don’t worry if you’re not the DIYtype,
as the experts in the tasting room
will happily pour flights for you to try.
In summertime, don’t miss their Natoma
Wine and Sunsets where you can listen to
live music and sip vino while the sun sets.
824 Sutter Street, Suite 200, Folsom, 800-
344-9463, willamettewineworks.com
A stunning view and sippable wine await
at Helwig Winery, which is just up the
hill in Plymouth. Their offerings include a
rustic tasting room; gourmet kitchen with
burgers, sandwiches, and salads; concerts;
and a memorable venue for weddings and
private events. Be sure to visit them for
Helwig@Dusk once a month May through
September for live music, food, and wine,
but buy tickets early as these fun evenings
sell out quickly! 11555 Shenandoah Road,
Plymouth, 209-245-5200, helwigwinery.com
Originally built in 1934 as a beet sugar
refinery, the historic Old Sugar Mill
now plays hosts to 14 wineries, which
produce varietals from all over Northern
California. Not only is it a one-stop-shop
for a day of wine tasting, but it also
makes a stunning wedding venue. There
are multiple ceremony and reception
spots to choose from, in addition to an
in-house coordinator and myriad of other
wedding necessities. For those already
lucky in love, be on the lookout for holiday
celebrations where specialty vendors
and food trucks are brought in to be
paired for a perfect day of wine tasting.
They’re located southwest, just about 35
miles from Folsom. 35264 Willow Avenue,
Clarksburg, 916-744-1615, oldsugarmill.com
Just over 20 miles from Folsom lies Wise
Villa Winery in Lincoln. This award-
winning winery is noted not only for its
wine but also its picturesque bistro and
fun events throughout the year. Their
Tuscan-style restaurant serves lunch and
dinner, and their events include weekly
Friday Night Live Music and Prime Rib
Thursdays, among annual events like the “I
Love Lucy” Grape Stomp and a Hawaiian
Luau. Bonus: They are continuously
invested in environmental sustainability,
from carbon retention to water filtration
and beyond. 4200 Wise Road, Lincoln, 916-
543-0323, wisevillawinery.com
Tucked away in the rolling hills of
Placerville is David Girard Vineyards
where wines and weddings meet. It has
quite the view for either, and the staff
is always welcoming. For wine tasting,
they’re open later on Fridays, when they
also offer pizza, and often have live shows
that pair perfectly with wine tasting on
the patio. 741 Cold Springs Road, Placerville,

A Healthy
Future
{ By Kristine Keables }
Mercy Hospital of Folsom
Dignity Health
UC Davis
As the number of rooftops grow
in the city’s newest planned
community south of Highway
50, many wonder about plans for
expanding medical services and
facilities to meet the demand.
Luckily, three of the region’s largest
health care providers—Dignity
Health, UC Davis, and Kaiser—are
all making plans to ensure residents’
health needs are met.
Both Dignity Health and UC Davis
have purchased property within the
new growth area to expand their
medical services. Kaiser already
has a large medical building and
an ambulatory surgery facility
in Folsom; they also own land at
Palladio off Iron Point Road for
possible future expansion.
A new Dignity medical building will
be underway soon on a 31-acre
site at the corner of East Bidwell
Street and Alder Creek Parkway.
As part of Phase 1, the building will
house many of the local Dignity
physicians as well as ambulatory
surgery and advanced imaging. It is
estimated the facility will open in
late 2025 or early 2026. President
of Mercy Folsom, Lisa Hausmann,
says Dignity is looking at bringing
other services to Folsom, too,
including infusion and oncology.
Phase 2 includes plans for an acute
care hospital with 100-300 beds.
Mercy Hospital of Folsom, which
is the city’s current hospital, has
100 beds. According to Hausmann,
there’s room for it to expand in the
future; or, when the new hospital
is complete, it might become a
specialty center.
UC Davis Board of Regents recently
approved Phase 1 construction on
its 34.5-acre parcel located at East
Bidwell Street and Highway 50. This
medical building will be 100,000
square feet and house physician
offices, a pharmacy, and an infusion
suite in addition to radiology
and imaging. It is estimated that
construction will start in early 2024
with opening scheduled for 2025.
Plans noted in the Environmental
Impact Report for the UC Davis site
include a micro-hospital of 30 beds,
an ambulatory surgery center, and
a 100-room hotel; the timeline for
these facilities is 15-20 years.
While not anticipating new facilities
in Folsom, Kaiser is “committed
to meeting the health care needs
of Folsom and its surrounding
communities today and well into
the future,” says Kim Menzel,
senior vice president and area
manager of Kaiser Permanente
Roseville. “We regularly reevaluate
our capital planning projections,
subject to several factors, including
membership growth in the area.
Regarding Roseville, while we
have a Development Agreement
to expand the Roseville Medical
Center, including a new hospital
tower, new development is also
subject to a number of factors...
It remains our intention to build a
state-of-the-art medical center at
the Railyards that represents how
health care will be provided in the
future. Due to our ongoing internal
planning processes, we can’t
provide detailed information about
the design, scope, and schedule for
the project,” she says.

Best in
Show
{ By Julie Ryan }
Rivers, lakes,
mountains, and,
maybe most
importantly, wineries.
We’re so lucky to have
all the above at our
fingertips. Speaking
of the latter, a good
amount of our region’s
wineries are award
winners. Thanks
to an idyllic grapegrowing
climate and
soil, certain varietals
truly flourish here.
As a result, we get
to benefit from the
results. The following
are five Best in Show
wineries within easy
reach.
Casino Mine Ranch
Best in Show in the red category goes to another Plymouth winery, Casino
Mine Ranch, whose winning wine—the 2018 Tempranillo—is described as
“richly textured with copious, intense fruit character of freshly harvested
blackberries, raspberries, and Tulare cherries; violets; balsam; baking
spices (vanilla, cardamom, and clove); hints of bitter dark chocolate; and
Fernet-Branca—all interwoven with mouth-coating tannins, refreshing
acidity, and a lingering finish.” Pair this delicious wine with roasted sweet
potatoes or beef bourguignon. The beautiful family-owned winery was
once a ranch mined for gold, but now it produces rosés, vermentinos,
and several reds, including their award winner. 13608 Shenandoah Road,
Plymouth, 209-330-0695, casinomineranch.com
Casino Mine Ranch
Gwinllan Estate Winery
Gwinllan Estate Winery
“Gwinllan” means vineyard in Welsh, and the small familyowned
winery wanted to honor their roots while naming
their vineyard. Their vines grow above the Central Valley
heat and below the snow line, which helps produce perfect
grapes for award-winning wines. The latest winner is from
the “sparkling” category, the 2019 Rosé, and it’s sure to
please your palate. “Delicious raspberry muffin will envelope
your senses. The taste of rhubarb and raspberry jam pair
beautifully with a hint of strawberries and whipped cream.”
They offer several estate champagnes, as well as white wines,

reds, and ports. While you’re enjoying their
offerings, you may see a few family members
roaming the grounds: Ben, Gwynn, and
Matilda oversee vermin control. (They’re
border collies and do a great job!) 7060
Fairplay Road, Somerset, 530- 723-2879,
gwinllanestate.com
Bella Grace Vineyards
This winery’s 2021 Vermentino won Best in
Show for white wines and is also the bestselling
white they produce. (This is their 15th
vintage of the vermentino.) It’s described
as having an explosion of flavors across the
palate, which is delightful and bright, and
pairs wonderfully with seafood (lobster,
oysters, and crab). The winery is named for
the family’s grandmothers, Bella and Grace,
“and captures their zest for life and unique
character.” There are two locations—Sutter
Creek and their wine cave and vineyard in
Plymouth—and each offer unique tasting
experiences. Vermentino aside, their
list of wines includes reds, whites, and
sparkling. They also have several olive oils
and balsamic vinegars to try and buy; and
their chef creates recipes every quarter
utilizing the wines, olive oils, and balsamic
vinegars. 73 Main Street, Sutter Creek;
22715 Upton Road, Plymouth, 209-267-8053,
bellagracevineyards.com
Vino Noceto
What started out as a little red barn decked
out with burlap walls and slabs of wood
thrown over barrels, has turned into much
more. Vino Noceto now have several
buildings and a villa-style courtyard where
you can taste their award-winning 2021
Rosato di Sangiovese described as light,
crisp, and lip-smacking tart. It pairs well
with ceviche, sushi, Mediterranean dishes,
and just about anything else! Noceto means
“walnut grove” in Italian, and the family farm
that now produces wine began with a walnut
crop years ago. Known for their sangiovese,
they’ve been producing wines for over 25
years. From their inaugural vintage and
110 cases, they now they produce 8,000
cases annually and offer nine different
sangioveses, as well as an old vine zinfandel
and a Tuscan red blend. 11011 Shenandoah
Road, Plymouth, 209-245-6556, noceto.com
Lewis Grace Winery
A white dessert wine with rich permeating
aromas of green apple, orange blossom,
white peach, honey, and jasmine, the
award-winning 2021 Fashionably Late
Dessert Wine boasts fresh flavors of tropical
tangerine and ripe nectarine on the palate,
while lemon-lime zest create a harmonious
balance of crisp acidity and suavity. The
winery is named after Lewis Grace, who
was a patriot and served as a soldier in the
4th Virginia Regiment in the Revolutionary
War. The winery’s history doesn’t end
there, however. It sits on a historic piece
of property established in 1890 and was
originally set along the Pony Express route.
The Irving family, who owned the land, was
also a founding member of Apple Hill. The
original Irving barn and ranch house remain,
surrounded by vineyards. The winery
produces, among many other varietals,
a pinot gris, rosé, barbera, and cabernet
sauvignon, as well as their award-winning
dessert wine that’s a must-sip alongside
lemon bars. 2701 Carson Road, Placerville,

TOP
WINE-
STORING
TIPS
• Store at the proper temperature. The
general temperature to store wine is
55 degrees, but that’s not the case
for every wine. To be sure you’re
storing correctly, ask the winemaker
what they suggest.
• Store your bottles horizontally. If
your bottle has a cork, storing this
way will keep the cork moist. A dry
cork can cause premature aging.
Screw top bottles don’t need to be
stored this way, but aesthetically it
looks good!
• Keep bottles in the dark. Direct
sunlight can damage the wine.
• Buy a wine fridge. Not only will
it keep your wine at the perfect
temperature, but it also keeps it at
the proper humidity.
• Store opened wine properly. Recork
it quickly and tightly.
