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, 

and tournaments. Plus, they have rental 

space to hold birthday parties and events.

Innovation 

Station 

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.”

Granite School contains eight classrooms 

plus meeting spaces. Four classrooms 

are rented to “mid-ups”—established 

mid-size companies that benefit from the 

synergistic environment. The rent these 

companies pay covers the mortgage, giving 

the project long-term stability. The startups 

pay reduced rent. Their buy-in is the

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/

Back Bistro

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. 


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.

balance, like so many other

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. 


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." 


Shaina DiMariano 

DiMariano Family Dentistry 

myfolsomdentist.com 


I am the CEO and Dentist at DiMariano Family Dentistry 


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! 


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, 

530-295-1833, davidgirardvineyards.com

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, 


Vino Noceto 

Bella Grace Vineyards 

Lewis Grace Winery 

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, 

530-642-8424, gracepatriotwines.com 


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.
